13 “Mu ndzidzi ukhalonga Efraimu, anthu agopa;
Iye akhali wakufunika kakamwe mu Izraeli.+
Mbwenye iye akhala na mulando thangwi yakulambira Bhaale,+ mbafa.
2 Cincino iwo asathimizira madawo awo,
Pontho na parata yawo,+ iwo asacita madzimunthu a utale;*
Madzimunthu awo akuti asacitwa na amesiri, asaacita mwaluso.
Iwo asapanga madzimunthu: ‘Ale anabwera toera kudzapereka ntsembe mbampswompswone madzimunthu a mwanangʼombe.’+
3 Natenepa iwo anadzakhala ninga nkhungwi namacibese,
Ninga bume yakuti mwakukhonda dembuka isamala,
Ninga mapwepwa anamburuswa pa mbuto inabubudirwa pinthu,
Pontho ninga utci unabuluka na pa benga ya padzulu panyumba.
4 Mbwenye ine ndine Yahova Mulungu wako kutomera mu dziko ya Ejitu;+
Nkhabepo Mulungu unango anadziwa iwe kusiyapo ine,
Pontho nkhabepo mpulumusi unango kusiyapo ine.+
5 Ine ndakudziwira nʼthando+ mu dziko yakusowa madzi.
6 Iwo akhakomerwa kakamwe na mbuto zawo zakudyesera pifuyo,+
Iwo akhakomerwa, pontho mitima yawo ikakhala yakudzikuza.
Na thangwi ineyi, iwo andiduwala.+
7 Ine ndinadzakhala ninga nkhalamu ingʼono kuna iwo,+
Ninga nyalugwe adabisala nʼkhundu-nʼkhundu mwa njira.
8 Ndinadzaapomokera ninga pinacita ursu* ingatayikirwa na anace,
Pontho ndinadzapandula maditi awo.
Ine ndinadzaadya kweneko ninga pinacita nkhalamu;
Cinyama ca ntsanga cinadzaakhwedzula-khwedzula.
9 Nakuti wandisandukira, ine mʼphedzi wako,
Pyenepi pinakucitisa toera ufudzwe iwe Izraeli.
10 Mphapo ali kupi mambo wako toera akupulumuse mʼmizinda yako yonsene,+
Pontho ali kupi atongi ako adapanga iwe kuti:
‘Ndipaseni mambo na atsogoleri’?+
11 Ine ndakupasa mambo mu ndzidzi ukhadaipirwa ine,+
Pontho mu ndzidzi wa ukali wanga, ine ndinadzamʼbulusa.+
12 Madodo a Efraimu nee anadzaduwaliwa;
Pontho madawo ace akoyiwa.
13 Iye anadzabva kupha ninga kunakhala na nkazi angafuna kubala.
Iye ndi mwana wakusowa ndzeru,
Thangwi ndzidzi wakufuna kubalwa ungakwana, iye asakhonda kubuluka.
14 Ine ndinadzaapulumusa ku mphambvu ya Nthumbi;*
Ine ndinadzaombola mbumba yanga toera ikhonde kuphiwa.+
Iwe Kufa, iri kupi mphambvu yako inabweresa nyatwa?+
Iwe Nthumbi, iri kupi mphambvu yako yakufudza?+
Ine nee ndinadzakubvera ntsisi.
15 Maseze iye atumbuke* pakati pa mitete,
Inadzabwera mphepo yakumabulukiro a dzuwa, mphepo ya Yahova,
Mphepo ineyi inadzabulukira nʼthando, toera kuumisa micera na kupwesa mikulo yace.
Alipo anafuna kudzatapata pinthu pyace pyonsene pyakufunika kakamwe.+
16 Samariya anadzapaswa mulando,+ thangwi iye asandukira Mulungu wace.+
Iwo anadzaphiwa na supada,+
Anace anadzagwandwa-gwandwa,
Pontho mimba za akazi akuti ali na mimba zinadzapandulwa.”
