Leka kucita pinthu mwakutsandzaya ninga anthu a madzindza.
Iwe wathaukirana na Mulungu wako thangwi yaulukwali* unacita iwe.+
Iwe usakomerwa na pinapaswa iwe na nkazi waupombo mʼmbuto zonsene zakububudira pinthu.+

Pontho iwo anadzadya pinthu pyakukhonda cena ku Asirya.+
Izo zakhala ninga cakudya ca paciliro;
Ale anafuna kucidya, anakhala akukhonda cena.
Thangwi cakudya ceneci ndi cawo basi;
Ico nee cinapitiswa nʼnyumba ya Yahova.
5 Kodi imwe munadzacitanji pa ntsiku yakugumanyikana
Toera kucita phwando ya Yahova?
6 Onani! Iwo anadzathawa toera akhonde kufudzwa na anyamalwa.+
Anthu a ku Ejitu anadzaagumanyiza,+ pontho a ku Mefi anadzaaikha munthumbi.+
Uliri unadzamera pa pinthu pyawo pyakufunika pya parata,
Pontho mathendere a minga anadzakula mʼmisasa yawo.
7 Zinadzafika ntsiku zakukutcunyusa,+
Zinadzafika ntsiku zakubwezera pyakuipa,
Pontho Izraeli anadziwa pyenepi.
Mprofeta wawo anadzakhala dzemwa, pontho munthu ananyerezera iwo kuti asalonga na Mulungu anadzakhala nyansala;
Kutcunyuswa kwako kunadzakhala kukulu thangwi yakunjipa kwa madodo ako.”
8 Nyakuonera+ wa Efraimu akhali na Mulungu wanga.+
Mbwenye cincino, njira zonsene za aprofeta ace+ zakhala ninga nsampha wa anyakusaka mbalame;
Nʼnyumba mwa Mulungu wace, muli na kuidana kukulu.
9 Iwo asacita kakamwe pinthu pyakuti pinaabweresera kufudzwa, ninga pikhadacita anthu a ku Jibheya.+
Iye anadzakumbuka madodo awo, mbaatcunyusa thangwi ya madawo awo.+
10 “Izraeli ndanʼgumana ninga mauva a nʼthando.+
Pidaona ine ambuyanu, pikhali ninga ndikuona masambvu akutoma kutokota mʼmuti wa nsambvu.
Mbwenye iwo aenda kuna Bhaale wa ku Peori;+
Iwo aperekeka toera kucita cinthu ceneci cakupasa manyadzo,*+
Pontho iwo adzakhala akunyanyasa kakamwe ninga mulungu analambira iwo.
11 Mbiri ya Efraimu isamburuka mbienda kutali ninga mbalame;
Iwo nkhabe kukhala na mimba, peno kubala ana.+
12 Maseze iwo akuze ana,
Ine ndinadzaapha onsene;+
Inde, dzedze kwa iwo ine ndingabuluka pakati pawo!+
13 Ine ndaona Efraimu ninga Tiro adabzwalwa pa mbuto inadyera pinyama;+
Mbwenye cincino Efraimu asafunika kupereka anace toera aphiwe.”
14 Imwe Yahova, apaseni pinafuna imwe kuapasa;
Citisani kuti ataye mimba, pontho mabere awo akhonde buluka nkaka.
15 “Uipi wace onsene ukhali ku Jiligale,+ ndi kweneko kudatoma ine kuaida.
Ine ndinadzaathamangisa panyumba panga thangwi ya pyakuipa pinacita iwo.+
Ine cipo ndinadzaafuna pontho;+
Atsogoleri awo onsene ndi akukhonda kubva.
16 Efraimu anadzaphekeswa.+

Maseze iye abale ana, ine ndinadzaapha.”
