Atate wathu Abweretsa Mlandu Wake
Atate wathu akubweretsa mlandu: palibe kukhulupirika, palibe kumudziwa iye, ndipo dziko lenilenilo likulira chifukwa cha zimenezo. Ansembe ndiwo akuipidwa kwambiri, popeza amadyera tchimo la anthu. Chigamulo chikubwerezabwereza kuti anthu ake akuwonongeka chifukwa chosowa chidziwitso, ndipo monga anthu, momwemonso wansembe.
4 1Imvani mau a Atate wathu, inu ana a Isiraeli, pakuti Iye ali ndi mlandu ndi anthu okhala m'dziko: mulibe kukhulupirika, mulibe chikondi cha pangano, ndipo mulibe kudziwa Iye m'dziko. a a v1 Atate wathu abweretsa mlandu wa pangano pa anthu ake — osati monga woweruza wakutali, koma monga Atate wopwetekedwa mtima akutchula kukhulupirika, chikondi, ndi kudziwa Iye komwe iwo ataya. 2Kuli kungolumbira ndi kunama, kupha ndi kuba ndi chigololo; amaswa malire onse, ndipo kukhetsa mwazi kutsatira kukhetsa mwazi. 3Chifukwa chake dziko likulira, ndipo onse okhala mmenemo akuwonongeka, pamodzi ndi nyama zakuthengo ndi mbalame za m'mlengalenga; ngakhale nsomba za m'nyanja zikukokoloka.
4Komatu munthu asatsutse, munthu asaimbe mlandu, pakuti anthu ako ali ngati iwo amene amakangana ndi wansembe. b b v4 Kukangana ndi wansembe kunatanthauza kukana amene anasankhidwa kuyimira anthu pamaso pa Mulungu — kuwukira kwakukulu koposa. 5Iwe umapunthwa masana, ndipo mneneri amapunthwa nawe usiku; ndipo Ine ndidzawononga amayi ako. 6Anthu anga akuwonongeka chifukwa chosowa chidziwitso. Chifukwa iwe wakana chidziwitso, Ine ndikukukana kuti usakhale wansembe wanga; chifukwa wayiwala lamulo la Atate wako, Inenso ndidzayiwala ana ako. 7Momwe anachulukira, ndi momwe anawonjezera kuchimwa pa Ine; ndidzasandutsa ulemerero wawo kukhala manyazi.
8Amadya pa tchimo la anthu anga ndipo amayika mitima yawo pa zoyipa zawo. 9Choncho zidzatero: monga anthu, momwemonso wansembe. Ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha njira zawo ndipo ndidzawabwezera chifukwa cha ntchito zawo. 10Adzadya koma sadzakhuta; adzadzipereka ku uhule koma sadzachulukana, chifukwa asiya Atate wathu ndipo ataya njira zake. 11Uhule, vinyo, ndi vinyo watsopano zimachotsa nzeru.
12Anthu anga amafunsa kwa chidutswa cha mtengo, ndipo ndodo yawo imawawuza; pakuti mzimu wa uhule wawasocheretsa, ndipo achita uhule, akusiya Atate wawo. 13Amapereka nsembe pamwamba pa mapiri ndipo amafukiza nsembe pa zitunda, pansi pa mtengo wa thundu, popula, ndi teribinto, chifukwa mthunzi wawo ndi wokoma. Choncho ana ako aakazi atembenukira ku uhule ndipo akwatibwi ako ku chigololo. 14Sindidzalanga ana ako aakazi pamene atembenukira ku uhule, kapena akwatibwi ako pamene achita chigololo; pakuti amuna omwewo amapita ndi mahule ndipo amapereka nsembe pamodzi ndi mahule a kukachisi—anthu opanda nzeru akupita kuchiwonongeko.
15Ngakhale iwe, Isiraeli, uchita uhule, Yuda asakhale wolakwa. Usapite ku Giligala; usakwere ku Beti-aveni; ndipo usalumbire kuti, “Pali Atate wathu wamoyo.” c c v15 Beti-aveni (“nyumba ya kuyipa”) ndi dzina lonyoza limene Hoseya anapatsa Beteli, kachisi wamkulu wa ufumu wa kumpoto. 16Isiraeli ndi wa nkhutukumve, ngati ng'ombe yayikazi ya nkhutukumve. Kodi Atate wathu angathe tsopano kuwadyetsa ngati mwana wankhosa pa busa lotseguka? 17Efuraimu waphatikana ndi mafano; msiyeni yekha. 18Pamene chakumwa chawo chatha, amadzipereka ku uhule; olamulira awo amakonda kwambiri manyazi. 19Mphepo yawakulunga mu mapiko ake, ndipo adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha maguwa awo ansembe.
