< Hosea 4 >
1 Montie Awurade asɛm, mo Israelfoɔ ɛfiri sɛ Awurade wɔ kwaadu de bɔ mo a mote asase no so: “Nokorɛ, ɔdɔ, anaa Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ nni asase no so.
Inu Aisraeli, imvani mawu a Yehova, chifukwa Yehova ali ndi mlandu ndi inu amene mumakhala mʼdzikoli: “Mʼdziko mwanu mulibe kukhulupirika, mulibe chikondi mulibe kulabadira za Mulungu.
2 Nnome nko ara, atorɔtwa ne awudie, korɔnobɔ, ne awaresɛeɛ na moyɛ ma ɛtra so, na mogyahwiegu ba ntoasoɔ ntoasoɔ.
Muli kutemberera kokha, kunama ndi kupha. Kuba ndi kuchita chigololo; machimo achita kunyanya ndipo akungokhalira kuphana.
3 Yei enti asase no di awerɛhoɔ na wɔn a ɛte so nyinaa wuwu; ewiram mmoa, ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu nam rewuwu.
Chifukwa chake dziko likulira ndipo onse amene amakhalamo akuvutika; zirombo zakuthengo ndi mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso nsomba zamʼnyanja zikufa.
4 “Mma obiara mmɔ kwaadu, mma obiara mmɔ ɔfoforɔ soboɔ. Na mmom, mo asɔfoɔ mo na me ne mo anya.
“Koma wina asapeze mnzake chifukwa, wina aliyense asayimbe mlandu mnzake, pakuti anthu ako ali ngati anthu amene amayimba mlandu wansembe.
5 Mosunti awia ne anadwo, na adiyifoɔ no ne mo sunti. Ɛno enti mɛsɛe mo ɔman.
Mumapunthwa usana ndi usiku ndipo aneneri amapunthwa nanu pamodzi. Choncho ndidzawononga amayi anu.
6 Nimdeɛ a me nkurɔfoɔ nni enti wɔresɛe. “Sɛ moapo nimdeɛ enti, me nso mapo mo sɛ mʼasɔfoɔ; sɛ moabu moani agu mo Onyankopɔn mmara so enti, me nso mabu mʼani agu mo mma so.
Anthu anga akuwonongeka chifukwa chosadziwa. “Pakuti mwakana kudziwa, Inenso ndidzakukanani monga ansembe anga; chifukwa mwayiwala lamulo la Mulungu wanu, Inenso ndidzayiwala ana anu.
7 Asɔfoɔ no redɔɔso no na bɔne a ɛboro soɔ na wɔyɛ tia me. Wɔde wɔn Animuonyam asesa deɛ ɛyɛ animguaseɛ.
Ansembe ankati akachuluka iwo ankandichimwiranso kwambiri; iwo anasinthanitsa ulemerero wawo ndi chinthu china chonyansa.
8 Wɔdidi me nkurɔfoɔ bɔne ho ɛno enti wɔn ani gye atirimuɔdensɛm ho.
Amalemererapo pa machimo a anthu anga ndipo amafunitsitsa kuti anthuwo azipitiriza kuchimwa.
9 Sɛdeɛ nnipa no teɛ no, saa ara na asɔfoɔ no nso teɛ. Metwe wɔn mmienu aso wɔ wɔn akwan ho na matua wɔn wɔn nneyɛeɛ so ka.
Ndipo zidzakhala motere: zochitikira anthu ena, zidzachitikiranso ansembe. Ndidzawalanga onsewo chifukwa cha njira zawo, ndidzawabwezera chifukwa cha machitidwe awo.
10 “Wɔbɛdidi, nanso wɔremmee. Wɔbɛbɔ adwaman, nanso wɔrennɔre, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔagya Awurade hɔ, de wɔn ho ama

13 Wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ mmepɔ atifi na wɔhye afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ nkokoɔ so: odum, duafufuo ne odupɔn ase, deɛ onwunu yɛ fɔmm hɔ. Ɛno enti, wo mmammaa dane adwamammɔfoɔ na mo nsenom mmaa nso yɛ awaresɛefoɔ.
Amapereka nsembe pamwamba pa mapiri ndi kufukiza lubani pa zitunda, pa tsinde pa mtengo wa thundu, mnjale ndi mkundi, pamene pali mthunzi wabwino. Nʼchifukwa chake ana anu aakazi akuchita zachiwerewere ndipo akazi a ana anu akuchita zigololo.
14 “Merentwe mo mmammaa aso sɛ wɔadane adwamanfoɔ, anaa mo nsenom mmaa aso sɛ wɔasɛe awadeɛ. Ɛfiri sɛ, mo mmarima, mo nso mote saa ara. Mo ne baasifoɔ ne abosomfieso adwamanfoɔ di hwebom. Nnipa a wɔnni nteaseɛ bɛkɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu!
“Ine sindidzalanga ana anu aakazi pamene iwo adzachita zachiwerewere, kapena akazi a ana anu pamene adzachita zigololo. Paja inu nomwe amunanu mumayenda ndi akazi achiwerewere, ndipo mumapereka nsembe pamodzi ndi akazi achiwerewere a ku malo opembedzerako. Anthu amene alibe nzeru adzawonongeka ndithu!
15 “Ɛwom sɛ woyɛ ɔwaresɛefoɔ deɛ, Ao Israel, nanso, mma Yuda nni ho fɔ. “Nkɔ Gilgal; na ɛmforo nkɔ Bet Awen. Na nnka ntam sɛ, ‘Sɛ Awurade te ase yi!’
“Ngakhale umachita chigololo, iwe Israeli, Yuda asapezeke ndi mlandu wotere. “Usapite ku Giligala. Usapite ku Beti-Aveni. Ndipo usalumbire kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo!’

Aisraeli ndi nkhutukumve, ngosamva ngati ana angʼombe. Kodi Yehova angathe kuwaweta bwanji ngati ana ankhosa pa msipu wabwino?
17 Efraim de ne ho abɔ ahoni; Gyaa no!
Efereimu waphathana ndi mafano; mulekeni!

Ngakhale pamene zakumwa zawo zatha, amapitiriza kuchita zachiwerewere; atsogoleri awo amakonda kwambiri njira zawo zochititsa manyazi.
19 Ntwaho mframa bɛpra wɔn akɔ, na wɔn afɔrebɔ de animguaseɛ bɛbrɛ wɔn.
Adzachotsedwa ndi kamvuluvulu ndipo adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha nsembe zawo.
