Hosea 2
1 “Uti kuvanunʼuna vako, ‘Vanhu vangu,’ nokuhanzvadzi dzako ‘vadikanwa vangu.’”
"Say to your brothers, 'My People.' and to your sisters, 'Compassion.'
2 “Tsiurai mai venyu, vatsiurei, nokuti havasi mukadzi wangu, uye handisi murume wavo. Ngavabvise kuonekwa kwoufeve pachiso chavo nokusatendeka pakati pamazamu avo.
Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Kana zvikasadaro, ndichavabvisa nguo dzose vagosara vakashama sezvavakanga vakaita musi wavakaberekwa. Ndichavaita segwenga ndigovashandura vave nyika yakaoma uye ndichavauraya nenyota.
Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Handizoratidzi vana vavo rudo, nokuti vana voufeve.
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
5 Mai vavo vakanga vasina kutendeka uye vakavaberekera mune zvinonyadzisa. Vakati, ‘Ndichateverazve vadiwa vangu, vanondipa zvokudya zvangu nemvura yangu, makushe angu nomucheka wangu, mafuta angu nezvokunwa zvangu.’
For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
6 Naizvozvo ndichasosera nzira yavo namasanzu eminzwa; ndichavapfigira mukati morusvingo zvokuti havangawani nzira yavo.
Therefore, look, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
7 Vachadzinganisa vadiwa vavo asi havangavabati; vachavatsvaka, asi havangavawani. Ipapo vachati, ‘Ndichadzokera kumurume wangu sapakutanga nokuti ipapo ndaiva nani kupfuura pari zvino.’
She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
8 Havana kuzvibvuma kuti ndini ndaivapa zviyo, newaini itsva namafuta, ndini ndakavapa sirivha negoridhe rakawanda izvo zvavakashandira Bhaari nazvo.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 “Naizvozvo ndichavatorera zviyo zvangu kana zvaibva, newaini yangu itsva nenguva yayo. Ndichatora makushe angu nomucheka wangu zvaifanira kufukidza kushama kwavo.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Saka zvino ndichabudisa pachena unzenza hwavo pamberi pavadiwa vavo; hapana achazovatora kubva mumaoko angu.
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 Ndichagumisa kupembera kwavo kwose: mitambo yavo yose yegore negore, nguva dzoKugara kwoMwedzi, maSabata avo nemitambo yavo yose yakatarwa.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Ndichaparadza mizambiringa yavo nemiti yavo yemionde yakanga iri muripo waibva kuvadiwa vavo. Ndichazviita dondo, uye mhuka dzesango dzichazvidya.
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 Ndichavaranga nokuda kwamazuva avakapisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Bhaari; vakazvishonga nemhete nezvishongo, vakatevera vadiwa vavo, asi ini vakandikanganwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says the LORD.
14 “Naizvozvo zvino ndichazovakwezva; ndichavatungamirira kurenje ndigotaura zvinyoronyoro kwavari.
"Therefore, look, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
15 Ikoko ndichavadzosera minda yavo yemizambiringa uye ndichaita kuti mupata weAkori uve musuo wetariro. Ikoko vachaimba sapamazuva oumhandara hwavo, sapamazuva avakabuda kubva muIjipiti.
I will give her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “Uchanditi ‘murume wangu;’ hauchazonditi ‘tenzi wangu.’
It will be in that day," says the LORD, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'
17 Ndichabvisa mazita avanaBhaari pamiromo yavo; havangazodani kumazita avozve.
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18 Pazuva iro ndichavaitira sungano nemhuka dzesango neshiri dzedenga uye nezvipuka zvinokambaira pasi. Uta nomunondo nehondo, ndichazvibvisa panyika kuti zvose zvivate pasi zvakachengetedzeka.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the crawling creatures of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
19 Ndichatsidza kukuwana uve wangu nokusingaperi; ndichatsidza kukuwana mukururama uye nomukururamisira, murudo netsitsi.
I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 Ndichatsidza kukuwana mukutendeka, uye uchabvuma kuti ndini Jehovha.
I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21 “Pazuva iro ndichadavira,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichadavira kumatenga uye ivo vachadavira kunyika;
It will happen in that day, I will respond," says the LORD, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22 nenyika ichadavira kuzviyo, waini itsva namafuta, uye izvo zvichadavira kuna Jezireeri.
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 Ndichamusima panyika nokuda kwangu; ndicharatidza rudo kuno uyo wandakati ‘Haasiye wandinoda.’ Ndichati kuna avo vanonzi ‘Havasi vanhu vangu,’ ‘Muri vanhu vangu,’ uye ivo vachati, ‘Muri Mwari wangu.’”
And I will sow her for myself in the land; and I will compassion on No Compassion; and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'My God.'"
