Hosiya 12:1-14
12 “Efremu ali na kulya lihunzi.
Asheka lihunzi lya ku butuhukilo bwa litangwa, litangwa lyoshe lya mutunu.
Abwezelela ku makuli na bukenya.
Balinga cikumiiyo na Asiria na kutwala mazi ku Ijipiti.
2 Yehova ali na ñanda na Juda,Alingisa Jakobu alitabele kwesekesa na bingila byendi,Co amwana fweto kwesekesa na bilinga byendi.
3 Mwakele mwimo, wakwatele ndolome yendi ku linsinsinye,Co lalo na nzili yendi, walwile na Njambi.
4 Watwaleleleleho kulwa na kangelo, co wahyanene.
Walilile na kumulambelela ngwendi amubezikise.”
Wamuwanene ku Betheu, co kukekwo kwendekelele netu.
5 Yehova Njambi wa maswalale,Yehova likelyo lizina lyendi lya canukiso.*
6 “Ngeci, iluka kuli Njambi yobe,Twalelelaho kumwesa cizemo cije kucesi kutenguluka na kwakula mwamubwa,Na kukulahela Njambi yobe simbu yoshe.
7 Oloni mu liboko lya muka-mingoso* muli bipeseleso bya makuli,Wazema kulyapula.
8 Efremu ali na kutwalelelaho kwendeka ngwendi, ‘Cili bene, njinafuku.
Njinawana bufuko.
Co mu kuundangana kwange, kubawanamo ngwabo njinabiisa nambe kulinga bubi.’
9 Oloni yange Yehova Njambi yobe tunde* mu lifuti lya Ijipiti.
Njikulingisa uyoye lalo mu bitentiNgwe muwalingilile mu matangwa a simbu ibanangula.
10 Njendekele ku tupolofweto,Njabwezelelele ku bimona byabo,Co njendekele bisimo kwitila mu tupolofweto.
11 Mu Giliyadi muli manene kukwisa* na makuli.
Banana bingombe ba nkomba kupwa milambu mu Giugali,Co mitula yabo inapu ngwe mitumbo ya mamanya ije ili mu myonzongolo* ya mu lihya.
12 Jakobu watewelele ku mutambela* wa Alamu,*Isalele wakapangelele munakazi kuje,Co wakanyungile bimanga mwafwa ya munakazi.
13 Yehova watundisile Isalele mu Ijipiti kupangesa kapolofweto,Co wamunyungile kupangesa kapolofweto.
14 Efremu nalingi mulonga wakama.
Mulonga wendi wa maninga utwalelelaho kukala hali ikeye.
Mwata wendi amwana fweto kwesekesa na kushaula kwendi.”
