Hosea 9:1-17
9 “Utakondwi pe yebo, O Israyeli.+Utasekeleli mbuli bantu bamumasi.
Nkaambo akaambo kabuvwuule waleya kuzwa kuli Leza wako.+
Wayandisya zipego zyabuvwuule nzyopegwa mumabuwa oonse aakuumina maila.+
2 Pele lubuwa lwakuumina maila alimwi acikandilo camisaansa tazikabasanini pe,Awalo waini wakwe mupya uyoomumanina.+
3 Tabakazumanani kukkala munyika ya Jehova;+Muciindi caboobo, Efraimu uyoopiluka ku Egepita,Eelyo ku Asuri bayoolya zintu zisofweede.+
4 Tabakazumanani kutila zituuzyo zyawaini kuli Jehova;+Zipaizyo zyabo tazikamukkomanisyi pe.+
Zili mbuli cakulya cakuciindi cakulila;Boonse ibacilya bayoolisofwaazya.
Nkaambo cakulya cabo ncicabo balo balikke;Tacikanjili muŋanda ya Jehova pe.
5 Ino muyoocita buti mubuzuba bwamuswaangano,*Mubuzuba bwapobwe lya Jehova?
6 Nkaambo amubone! Bayootija akaambo kalunyonyooko.+
Egepita uyoobabunganya antoomwe,+ eelyo Mofi uyoobazikka.+
Mpese ziyoovwumba zintu zyabo ziyandisi zyansiliva,Aalo mamvwa ayoomena mumatente aabo.
7 Mazuba aalubeta ayoosika,+Imazuba aakusubulwa ayoosika,Bana Israyeli bayoozyiba.
Musinsimi wabo uyoofwubaala, awalo muntu weendelezyegwa amuuya uyoosondoka;Akaambo kakuti cinyonyoono cako ncipati, ulisulidwe kapati.”
8 Mulindizi+ wa Efraimu wakali a Leza wangu.+
Pele lino nzila zyoonse zyabasinsimi bakwe+ zili mbuli tukole twasikuteya tuyuni;Kuli lusulo muŋanda ya Leza wakwe.
9 Bamaninina muzintu zileta lunyonyooko, mbubonya mbuli kumazuba aa Gibea.+
Leza uyooyeeya cinyonyoono cabo akubasubula akaambo kazibi zyabo.+
10 “Israyeli ndakamujana mbuli misaansa yamunkanda.+
Bamauso ndakababona mbuli nkuyu zitaanzi akati kankuyu zyakusaanguna kumukuyu.
Pele balo bakaunka kuli Baala waku Peori;+Bakalyaaba kucintu cuusya nsoni,*+Eelyo bakali kusesemya mbubonya mbuli cintu eeco ncobakali kuyandisya.
11 Bulemu bwa Efraimu bulauluka mbuli kayuni;Kunyina uutumbuka, kunyina uumitide alimwi kunyina uumita.+
12 Nokuba kuti bakomezye bana,Ndiyoopa kuti bafwidwe bana kusikila limwi kukabule muntu naba omwe;+Maawe kulimbabo ndaakubafwutatila!+
13 Efraimu, ooyo uusyangidwe mumacelelo, kulindime wakali mbuli Turo;+Lino Efraimu weelede kuleta bana bakwe kukujaigwa.”
14 Kobapa, O Jehova, eeco ncoyelede kubapa;Kobapa da lisowa* ankolo zitakwe mukupa.*
15 “Bubi bwabo boonse bakabucitila ku Giligala,+ nkaambo ooko ndakabasulaika.
Ndiyoobatanda muŋanda yangu akaambo kamicito yabo mibi.+
Tandikabayandi limbi pe;+
Basilutwe babo boonse mbaasicinguni.
16 Efraimu uyakuumwa.+
Imuyanda wabo uyooyuma, eelyo tabakazyali mucelo nouba omwe.
Nokuba kuti bakazyale bana, ndiyoobajaya bana babo mbobayandisya.”
17 Leza wangu uyoobakaka,Nkaambo tiibamuswiilila pe,+Eelyo bayooba basimutuntuli akati kamasi.+
