Hosea 14:1-9
14 “Kojokela, O Israyeli, kuli Jehova Leza wako,+Nkaambo cakuleba cinyonyoono cako.
2 Amujokele kuli Jehova amajwi aaya,Amumwaambile kuti, ‘Twalomba kotulekelela cinyonyoono cesu,+ kotambula cintu cibotu,Eelyo tuyookutembaula amilomo yesu+ mbubonya mbotukonzya kutuula bapoho bacili bana.*
3 Cisi ca Asuri tacikatufwutuli pe.+
Tatukatanti aamabbiza,+Alimwi tatukaciinduluki kwaamba kuti, “O Leza wesu!” kumilimo yamaanza eesu,Nkaambo yebo nduwe uupa kuti mucaala afwidwe luse.’+
4 Ndiyoobaponya kubulwazi bwabo bwakutasyomeka.+
Ndiyoobayanda cakuliyandila,+Nkaambo ndagusya bukali bwangu kulinguwe.+
5 Ndiyooba mbuli mume kuli Israyeli;Uyoofwulula mbuli mpanaAkusimpa miyanda mbuli zisamu zyaku Lebano.
6 Tutabi twakwe tuyooyandalala,Bweebesi bwakwe buyooba mbuli bwacisamu camaolifa,Alimwi kununkilila kwakwe kuyooba mbuli kwaku Lebano.
7 Bayookkala alimwi mucimvwule cakwe.
Bayoolima maila alimwi bayoosonsa mbuli musaansa.+
Mpuwo yakwe iyooba* mbuli waini waku Lebano.
8 Efraimu uyakwaamba kuti, ‘Ino ndicijisi makani nzi amituni?’+
Mebo ndiyoovwiila akumulinda.+
Ndiyooba mbuli cisamu camulombe cifwefwema.
Kulindime nkoiyoojanwa micelo yako.”
9 Ino nguni musongo? Aazimvwisye zintu eezyi.
Ino nguni uucenjede? Aazizyibe zintu eezyi.
Nkaambo nzila zya Jehova zililuleme,+Eelyo baluleme mbabayakweenda mulinzizyo;Pele basikusotoka mulawo bayoolebwa mulinzizyo.
