Hosea 2
1 Waambie ndugu zenu wanaume, 'Watu wangu!' na kwa dada zako, 'umeonyeshwa huruma.'”
Say to brothers your people my and to sisters your she is Shown Compassion.
2 Leteni mashtaka dhidi ya mama yenu, leteni mashtaka, kwa kuwa yeye si mke wangu, wala mimi si mumewe. Na auondoe uzinzi wake mbele yake, na matendo yake ya uzinzi kati ya matiti yake.
Conduct a case with mother your conduct a case for she not [is] wife my and I not [am] husband her and let her remove prostitution her from face her and adulteries her from between breasts her.
3 Ikiwa sio, nitamvua nguo na kumuonyesha uchi wake kama siku aliyozaliwa. Nami nitamfanya kama jangwa, kama nchi iliyoharibika, nami nitamfanya afe kutokana na kiu.
Lest I should strip her naked and I will exhibit her like [the] day was born she and I will make her like wilderness and I will make her like a land dry and I should make die her with thirst.
4 Sitakuwa na rehema kwa watoto wake, kwa maana wao ni watoto wa ukahaba.
And children her not I will have compassion on for [are] children of prostitution they.
5 Maana mama yao amekuwa kahaba, na yeye aliye mimba amefanya mambo ya aibu. Alisema, “Nitawafuata wapenzi wangu, kwa maana wananipa mkate wangu na maji, sufu yangu na kitani, mafuta yangu na kinyweji.”
For she has prostituted herself mother their she has acted shamefully [the] [one who] conceived them for she said I will go after lovers my [who] give food my and water my wool my and flax my oil my and drinks my.
6 Kwa hiyo nitajenga ua wa kuzuia njia yake kwa miiba. Nitajenga ukuta dhidi yake ili asiweze kupata njia. Yeye atawafuatilia wapenzi wake, lakini yeye hatawafikia.
Therefore here I [am] about to fence up way your with thorns and I will wall up wall her and paths her not she will find.
7 Yeye atawatafuta, lakini hatawapata. Kisha atasema, “Nitarejea kwa mume wangu wa kwanza, kwa maana ilikuwa ni bora kwangu zamani kuliko sasa.”
And she will pursue lovers her and not she will overtake them and she will seek them and not she will find [them] and she will say I will go and I will return to husband my former for it was good for me then more than now.
8 Kwa maana hakujua kwamba mimi ndimi niliyempa nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, na ambaye nilimwongezea fedha na dhahabu, ambazo walizitumia kwa Baali.
And she not she knows that I I gave to her the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and silver I multiplied to her and gold [which] they made into Baal.
9 Kwa hiyo nitachukua nafaka yake wakati wa mavuno, na divai yangu mpya katika msimu wake. Nitachukua sufu yangu na kitambaa kilichotumiwa kufunika uchi wake.
Therefore I will return and I will take grain my at appropriate time its and new wine my at appointed time its and I will take away wool my and flax my to cover nakedness her.
10 Ndipo nitamvua nguo machoni pa wapenzi wake, wala hakuna mtu atakayemwokoa mkononi mwangu.
And now I will uncover lewdness her to [the] eyes of lovers her and anyone not he will deliver her from hand my.
11 Nitasitisha furaha yake yote- sikukuu zake, mwandamo wa mwezi, sabato zake na sikukuu zake zote zilizowekwa.
And I will put an end to all gaiety her festival[s] her new moon[s] her and sabbath[s] her and every appointed feast her.
12 Nitaharibu mizabibu yake na mtini wake, ambayo alisema, 'Hii ni mishahara ambayo wapenzi wangu walinipa.' Nitawafanya kuwa msitu, na wanyama wa shambani watakula.
And I will devastate vine[s] her and fig tree[s] her which she said [are] wage[s] they of me which they gave to me lovers my and I will make them into a thicket and it will consume them [the] animal[s] of the field.
13 Nami nitamuadhibu kwa ajili ya Sikukuu ya Baali, alipowafukizia uvumba, akijipamba kwa pete zake na mavazi yake, naye akafuata wapenzi wake, akanisahau.” Hili ndilo tamko la Bwana.
And I will visit on her [the] days of the Baals when she made smoke to them and she ornamented herself ring[s] her and jewelry her and she went after lovers her and me she forgot [the] utterance of Yahweh.
14 Kwa hiyo nitaenda kumshawishi. Nitamleta jangwani na kumwambia kwa huruma.
Therefore here! I [am] about to persuade her and I will lead her the wilderness and I will speak (to *L(abh)*) heart her.
15 Nami nitamrudishia mizabibu yake, na bonde la Akori kama mlango wa tumaini. Yeye atanijibu huko kama alivyofanya katika siku za ujana wake, kama katika siku ambazo alitoka katika nchi ya Misri.
And I will give to her vineyards her from there and [the] valley of Achor to a door of hope and she will answer there like [the] days of youth her and like [the] day went up she from [the] land of Egypt.
16 “Itakuwa katika siku hiyo”-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana-”kwamba utaniita, 'Mume wangu,' na hutaniita tena mimi, 'Baal wangu.'
And it will be in the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh you will call husband my and not you will call me again Baal my.
17 Kwa maana nitaondoa majina ya Baali kinywani mwake; majina yao hayatakumbukwa tena.”
And I will remove [the] names of the Baals from mouth her and not they will be remembered again by name their.
18 “Siku hiyo nitafanya agano pamoja na wanyama katika mashamba kwa ajili yao, na ndege wa angani, na vitu vya kutambaa chini. Nitaondoa upinde, upanga, na vita katika nchi, nami nitakufanya ulale kwa usalama.
And I will make to them a covenant in the day that with [the] animal[s] of the field and with [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] creeping thing[s] of the ground and bow and sword and battle I will break from the land and I will make lie down them to security.
19 Nitakuwa mume wako milele. Nitakuwa mume wako katika haki, hukumu, uaminifu wa agano, na huruma.
And I will betroth you to myself for ever and I will betroth you to myself in righteousness and in justice and in covenant loyalty and in compassion.
20 Nitakuwa mume wako kwa uaminifu. Nawe utanijua mimi, Bwana.
And I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness and you will know Yahweh.
21 Na siku ile, nitajibu”-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana. “Nitazijibu mbingu, nao watajibu dunia.
And it will be - in the day that I will answer [the] utterance of Yahweh I will answer the heavens and they they will answer the earth.
22 Dunia itashughulikia nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, na watajibu Yezreeli.
And the earth it will answer the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and they they will answer Jezreel.
23 Nitatampanda mwenyewe katika nchi kwa ajili yangu, na nitamhurumia Lo Ruhama. Nami nitamwambia Lo Ami, 'Wewe ni Ami Ata,' nao wataniambia, 'Wewe ni Mungu wangu.'”
And I will sow her for myself in the land and I will have compassion on Lo-Ruhamah and I will say to Not-People My [are] people my you and he he will say God my.
