Ozeya 11:1-12
11 “Ndidafuna Jirayeri pomwe iye akhali mulumbwana,Ndipo ndidacemera mwana wangu wacimuna kuti acoke mu Edjipito.
2 Pomwe iye akhacemeredwa kwene-kwene,Ni pomwembo iye akhatalikirana kwene-kwene na omwe akhamucemerawo.*
Adapitiriza kupereka ntsembe kwa BaalaNa ntsembe zakucita kutentha kwa bzifanikiso bzakucita kusema.
3 Tsono ndinepano omwe ndidapfunzisa Efraimu kufambaNa kumunyamula m’manja mwangu;Koma iye alibe kubvuma kuti inepano ndidamupoza.
4 Mwakudeka mtima na mwalufoyi* ndidapiritiriza kuwakwewera kwa ine;Ndipo ndikhali ninga nyakucosa djoki m’khosi mwawo,Ndicimbapasa ali-wentse wa iwo cakudya mwalufoyi.
5 Iwo an’dzabwerera lini pomwe ku dziko la Edjipito, koma Asiriya ndiye an’dzakhala mambo wawo,Thangwe rakuti iwo alamba kubwerera kwa ine.
6 Xipada in’dzazungulira mizinda yaceNdipo in’dzadzonga mipiringidzo yace na kupha wanthu wa m’mizindayo,Thangwe ra bzakuipa bzomwe iwo akhafuna kucita.
7 Wanthu wangu atsimikiza kukhala wakusaya kukhulupirika kwa inepano.
Akuwacemera kuti abwerere kwa omwe ngwapadzulu, koma palibe ne na m’bodzi omwe akumuka.
8 Kodi ningakusiye tani iwe Efraimu?
Kodi ningakupereke tani kwa anyamadulanthaka wako iwe Jirayeri?
Kodi ningakupfudze tani ninga momwe ndidapfudzira Adima?
Kodi ningacite nawe tani bzinthu ninga momwe ndidacitira na Zeboyimu?
Mtima wangu wacinja ndipo pa nthawe ibodzi-bodziyo ntsisi zandidzalira.*
9 Nin’dzalatiza lini ukali bwangu bwakugaka moto.
Nin’dzapfudza lini pomwe Efraimu,Pakuti ine ndine Mulungu, sikuti munthu,Ndine Wakucena pakati panu;Ndipo nin’dzabwera lini na ukali kwa imwepo.
10 Iwo an’dzatewera Yahova ndipo iye an’dzalirima ninga mphondolo;Iye akadzalirima, wana wace an’dzabwera akutetemera kucokera kumadokero.
11 Iwo an’dzabwera akutetemera ninga mbalame kucokera ku Edjipito,Ninga nkhangaiwa kucokera ku dziko la Asiriya;Ndipo nin’dzawacitisa kukhala m’nyumba zawo,” walewa tenepo Yahova.
12 “Efraimu ambandondiuza bzakunama bzokha-bzokha,Kuli-kwentse komwe ndikunyang’anisa, ndikundowona cinyengo ca Jirayeri.
Tsono Djuda akupitiriza kufamba na Mulungu,Ndipo iye ngwakukhulupirika kwa Wakucenesesa.”
