Hosea 7:1-16
7 “Ciindi nendiyanda kumuponya Israyeli,Cinyonyoono ca Efraimu acalo cilalibonya,+Antoomwe abubi bwa Samariya;+
Nkaambo bacita calweeno;+Babbi balanjila mumaanda, azyalo zigwebenga zilasaala anze.+
2 Pele mumyoyo yabo tabaambi kuti mebo ndiyoobuyeeya bubi bwabo boonse.+
Lino micito yabo ilibazingulukide koonse-koonse;Ilalibonya antangalala kumbele lyangu.
3 Bakkomanisya mwami abubi bwabo,Akukkomanisya basilutwe abumpelenge bwabo.
4 Boonse buyo mbaasimamambe,Balapya mbuli citofwu ncayasya sikupanga zinkwa,Ooyo uuleka kucisosela ciindi nakanda fulaulu akuuleka kuti ufwufwumuke.
5 Mubuzuba bwapobwe lyamwami wesu, basilutwe baciswa—Banyema akaambo kawaini.+
Walo watambika janza lyakwe kulibaabo bafwubaazya.
6 Nkaambo balaboola munsi-munsi amyoyo iipya mbuli citofwu.*
Busiku boonse sikupanga zinkwa uloona;Mafwumofwumo citofwu cilapya mbuli mulilo uuvwilima.
7 Boonse buyo balapya mbuli citofwu,Eelyo balya baleli* babo.
Bami babo boonse bawa;+Kunyina naba omwe akati kabo uundiita.+
8 Efraimu uluujisi kusangana abantu bamasi.+
Efraimu uli mbuli cinkwa cibulungene catasandulwa.
9 Beenzu bazimana nguzu zyakwe zyoonse,+ pele walo tazyi.
Alimwi mutwe wakwe woonse waile kutuba buu akaambo kamvwi, pele walo kunyina ncabwene.
10 Kulisumpula kwa Israyeli kwapa bumboni bumupa mulandu walo mwini,+Pele tiibapiluka kuli Jehova Leza wabo,+Alimwi tiibamuyandaula nokuba kuti bacitikilwa zintu zyoonse eezyi.
11 Efraimu uli buyo mbuli nziba mfwubafwuba iitakwe maano.+
Baita Egepita;+ baunka kuli Asuri.+
12 Kufwumbwa nkobaunka, ndiyoobavwumba alunsabwe lwangu.
Ndiyoobajata akubaleta ansi mbuli bayuni bamujulu.
Ndiyoobasubula kweelana amajwi aakucenjezya ngondakaambila mbungano yabo.+
13 Maawe kulimbabo, nkaambo batija kuzwa kulindime!
Abanyonyoonwe, nkaambo bandibisyila!
Mebo ndalilibambilide kubanununa, pele balo baamba zyakubeja kujatikizya ndime.+
14 Tiibakandiita amoyo woonse kuti ndibagwasye,+Nokuba kuti bakaluujisi kulila amalo aabo.
Bakali kulinengaula akaambo kamaila aabo alimwi awaini wabo mupya;Baluujisi kundizangila.
15 Nokuba kuti ndakabalaya akuyumya maanza aabo,Balo tabandiyandi, bakanza kucita cibi.
16 Bakacinca bukkale bwabo, pele ikutali kucintu cisumpukide;*Tiibakasyomeka mbubonya mbuli buta butebede.+
Basilutwe babo bayoojaigwa apanga akaambo kamilaka yabo yaamba majwi aabuzangi.
Akaambo kaceeci bayoosampaulwa mucisi ca Egepita.”+
