4 1Bveserani fala ya Baba wathu, imwe ana a Izarayeli, thangwi Iye ali na mulandu na ale anakhala m'dziko: nkhabe kukhulupirika, nkhabe kufuna kwa cibverano, pontho nkhabe kundziwa Iye m'dziko. a a v1 Baba wathu asabweresa mulandu wa cibverano kuna mbumba yace — tayu ninga nyakutonga wakutali, mbwenye ninga Baba wakupswipiswa ntima analonga kukhulupirika, kufuna, na kundziwa Iye pidaluza iwo. 2Pana basi kudumbira na kunama, kupha anthu na kuba na upombo; iwo asaswa midida yonsene, pontho kukhetesa ciropa kusatowera kukhetesa ciropa. 3Na tenepo dziko isalira, pontho onsene anakhala mwenemu asamala, pabodzi na pinyama pya nthando na mbalame za kudzulu; ngakhala ntsomba za m'bara zisakwewiwa.
4Mbwenye nkhabe munthu apambizire, nkhabe munthu athuse mulandu, thangwi mbumba yako iri ninga ale anaketesana na nyantsembe. b b v4 Kuketesana na nyantsembe pikhabveka kukhonda ule adasankhulwa toera kuimirira mbumba pamaso pa Mulungu — kupanduka kukulu kakamwe. 5Iwe usapunduka masikati, pontho mprofeta asapunduka na iwe namasiku; pontho Ine ndinafudza mai wako. 6Mbumba yanga isafudzwa thangwi yakusowa cidziwiso. Nakuti iwe wakhonda cidziwiso, Ine ndinakubulusa pa unyantsembe wanga; nakuti iwe waduwala mwambo wa Baba wako, Inembo ndinaduwala ana ako. 7Ninga pikhawanda iwo, ndi pikhawandambo kudawa kwawo kuna Ine; Ine ndinacinja mbiri yawo kukhala manyadzo.
8Iwo asadya pa kudawa kwa mbumba yanga, pontho asaikha mitima yawo pa kuphonya kwawo. 9Na tenepo pinakhala tenepa: ninga mbumba, ndi nyantsembembo. Ine ndinaatcunyusa thangwi ya njira zawo, pontho ndinaabwezera thangwi ya macitiro awo. 10Iwo anadya mbwenye anakhuta tayu; anadzipereka ku upombo mbwenye anawanda tayu, thangwi iwo asiya Baba wathu mbasiya njira zace. 11Upombo, vinyu, na vinyu ipsa pisakwata nzeru.
12Mbumba yanga isabvundza cipande ca muti, pontho ndodo yawo isaapanga mphangwa; thangwi nzimu wa upombo waapeusa, pontho iwo acita upombo, mbasiya Baba wawo. 13Iwo asapereka ntsembe pa misolo ya mapiri, pontho asapisa ntsembe pa mitunda, pantsi pa miti ya oki, popla, na terebinti, thangwi mthunzi wawo ndi wakukoma. Na tenepo ananu acikazi asatowera upombo, pontho akwati anu asacita upombo. 14Ine nkhabe kutcunyusa ananu acikazi angatowera upombo, nee akwati anu angacita upombo; thangwi amuna ene asaenda na afeve, mbapereka ntsembe pabodzi na afeve a pa templo—mbumba yakusowa kubvesesa inafika pa kufudzwa.
15Maseze imwe, Izarayeli, mucite upombo, Yuda aleke kukhala na mulandu. Lekani kuenda ku Gilugala; lekani kukwira ku Bheti-aveni; pontho lekani kudumbira, ‘Ninga Baba wathu ali maso.’ c c v15 Bheti-aveni (‘nyumba ya kuipa’) ndi dzina yakunyoza idacemera Hoseya Bheteli, mbuto ikulu yakulambira ya umambo wa kumpoto. 16Izarayeli ndi wakuuma nsolo, ninga ng'ombe yacikazi yakuuma nsolo. Kodi Baba wathu anakwanisa cincino kuadyesa ninga mwanabira pa thando yakufunguka? 17Efraimi waphatana na milungu yauthambi; nsiyeni ekha. 18Vinyu yawo ingamala, iwo asadzipereka ku upombo; atongi awo asafuna kakamwe manyadzo. 19Mphepo yaamanga mu maphapido yace, pontho iwo anakhala na manyadzo thangwi ya maguwa awo a ntsembe.
