Nekuti chipfambi chako chakaita kuti usiye Mwari wako.+
Waifara chaizvo nemubhadharo wawaipiwa pawaiita chipfambi chako munzvimbo dzese dzinopurirwa zvirimwa.+
2 Asi hapana chekudya kana chekunwa chavachawana kubva paburiro* uye muchisviniro chewaini,
Uye haazowani waini itsva.+
3 Havazorambi vachigara munyika yaJehovha;+
Efremu achadzokera kuIjipiti,
Uye vachadya zvinhu zvisina kuchena kuAsiriya.+
Zvakaita sezvekudya zvepamariro;
Vese vanozvidya vachazvisvibisa.
Nekuti zvekudya zvavo ndezvavo vega;
Hazvizopindi muimba yaJehovha.
6 Nekuti vachatotiza chete nemhaka yekuparadza kunenge kuchiitwa.+
Ijipiti ichavaunganidza+ uye Memfisi ichavaviga.+
Rukato ruchatora zvinhu zvavo zvinokosha zvesirivha,
Uye mumatende avo muchava nemakwenzi ane minzwa.
Muprofita wavo achaita benzi, uye munhu anozviti anofemerwa achapenga;
Uri kuvengwa zvikuru nekuti zvikanganiso zvako zvizhinji.”
8 Murindi+ waEfremu ainge akatendeka kuna Mwari wangu.+
Asi iye zvino, zvinhu zvese zviri kuitwa nevaprofita vake+ zvakaita sechiteyeso chemubati weshiri;
Muimba yaMwari wake mune ruvengo.
9 Vanyura muzvinhu zvichavaurayisa, sepamazuva eGibhiya.+
Iye achayeuka kukanganisa kwavo ovarangira zvivi zvavo.+
10 “Ndakawana Israeri akaita semazambiringa ari murenje.+
Ndakaona madzitateguru enyu akaita semaonde anotanga kuibva pamuti wemuonde panguva yekutanga kukohwa.
Asi ivo vakaenda kuna Bhaari wePeori;+
Vakazvipira kuchinhu chinonyadzisa,*+
Uye vakatanga kusemesa sezvaingoita chinhu chavaida.
11 Kukudzwa kwaEfremu kunobhururuka kuchienda seshiri;
Hapana anosununguka mwana, uye hapana ane pamuviri kana anobata pamuviri.+
12 Kunyange kana vakarera vana,
Ndichauraya vana vacho kusvikira vapera vese;+
Chokwadi vachatambura pandichavaramba!+
13 Efremu akanga akaita seTire+ kwandiri paakanga akadyarwa mumafuro;
Iye zvino Efremu anofanira kubudisa vanakomana vake kuti vaurayiwe.”
15 “Zvakaipa zvavo zvese zvaiva kuGirigari,+ nekuti ikoko ndiko kwandakatanga kuvavenga.
Ndichavadzinga mumba mangu nemhaka yezvakaipa zvavo.+
Ndichange ndisisavade;+
Machinda avo ese akaoma musoro.
Mudzi wavo uchaoma uye havazobereki michero.
Kunyange kana vakabereka, ndichauraya vana vavo vavanoda.”
