Hosiya
Ipai nzeve, imi imba yaIsraeri,
Teererai, imi imba yamambo,
Nekuti muri kubatanidzwawo pamutongo wacho;
Nekuti muri chiteyeso muMizpa
Uye muri mambure akatambanudzwa pamusoro peTabhori.+
3 Efremu ndinomuziva,
Uye ndinoona zvese zvinoitwa naIsraeri.
4 Zvavari kuita zviri kuvatadzisa kudzoka kuna Mwari wavo,
Nekuti vanongoda kuita zvechipfambi;+
Uye havafungi nezvaJehovha.
5 Kudada kwaIsraeri ndiko kwapupurira kuti ane mhosva;+
Kutadza kwaIsraeri naEfremu kwavakanganisa,
Uye Judha akanganiswa pamwe chete navo.+
6 Vakaenda kunotsvaga Jehovha vaine makwai avo nemombe dzavo,
Asi vakamushaya.
Akanga asiyana navo.+
Zvino mwedzi* uchavaparadza* pamwe chete nemigove* yavo.
8 Ridzai hwamanda+ muGibhiya, uye ridzai bhosvo muRama!+
Itai mheremhere yehondo kuBheti-avheni;+ tiri kukutsigira iwe Bhenjamini!
9 Iwe Efremu, vanhu vacharohwa nehana pazuva raucharangwa.+
Ndazivisa zvichaitika kumadzinza aIsraeri uye zvichatoitika.
10 Machinda eJudha akaita sevaya vari kuchinja pane muganhu.+
Ndichadurura kutsamwa kwangu pavari semvura.
11 Efremu ari kudzvinyirirwa, achirwadziwa nemutongo waakapiwa,
Nekuti aiomesa musoro achibatana nemuvengi.+
12 Saka ndakanga ndakaita sechitemamachira* kuna Efremu
Uye sechinhu chinoodza zvinhu kuimba yaJudha.
13 Efremu paakaona urwere hwake, uye Judha paakaona ronda rake,
Efremu akaenda kuAsiriya+ akatumira shoko kuna mambo mukuru.
Asi akatadza kukuporesai,
Uye haana kurapa ronda renyu.
Ini pachangu ndichavabvambura-bvambura ndoenda;+
Ndichavatakura ndoenda navo, uye hapana achavanunura.+
15 Ndichadzokera kunzvimbo yangu kusvikira vatambura nekukanganisa kwavo,
Vachabva vatsvaga kunzwirwa nyasha neni.+
Vachanditsvaga pavanenge vava kutambudzika.”+
