Hoseya 14:1-9
14 “Iwe Isiraeli, bwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wako+ pakuti wapunthwa mu zolakwa zako.+
2 Bwerera kwa Yehova ndi mawu osonyeza kulapa.+ Anthu nonsenu uzani Mulungu kuti, ‘Tikhululukireni zolakwa zathu.+ Landirani zinthu zabwino zochokera kwa ife, ndipo mawu apakamwa pathu akhale ngati ana amphongo a ng’ombe amene tikuwapereka nsembe kwa inu.+
3 Dziko la Asuri silidzatipulumutsa.+ Ife sitidzakwera pamahatchi.+ Sitidzauzanso ntchito ya manja athu kuti: “Inu Mulungu wathu!” chifukwa inu mumachitira chifundo mwana wamasiye.’*+
4 “Ndidzathetsa kusakhulupirika kwawo.+ Ndidzawakonda mwa kufuna kwanga,+ chifukwa mkwiyo wanga wawachokera.+
5 Ine ndidzakhala ngati mame kwa Isiraeli,+ ndipo iye adzaphuka ngati maluwa okongola. Mizu yake idzazama ngati mtengo wa ku Lebanoni.
6 Nthambi zake zidzaphukira ndipo adzakhala ndi ulemerero ngati mtengo wa maolivi.+ Fungo lake lonunkhira lidzakhala ngati mtengo wa ku Lebanoni.
7 Iwo adzakhalanso mumthunzi wake.+ Adzabzala mbewu ndipo adzaphuka ngati mpesa.+ Dzina lawo lidzakumbukiridwa ngati vinyo wa ku Lebanoni.
8 “Efuraimu adzanena kuti, ‘Kodi mafano ndi a chiyaninso kwa ine?’+
“Ine ndidzamva ndipo ndidzapitirizabe kumuyang’anira.+ Ine ndili ngati mtengo waukulu wa mkungudza wamasamba obiriwira+ ndipo mudzapeza zipatso kwa ine.”
9 Ndani ali ndi nzeru kuti amvetse zinthu zimenezi?+ Wochenjera ndani kuti adziwe zimenezi?+ Pakuti njira za Yehova ndi zowongoka+ ndipo anthu olungama ndi amene adzayendamo,+ koma olakwa adzapunthwa m’njira zimenezo.+
