Mukadzi waHosea navana vake

2 Jehovha paakatanga kutaura kubudikidza naHosea, akati kwaari, “Enda, unozvitorera mukadzi woufeve navana voufeve nokuti nyika ine mhosva yokuita ufeve hwakaipisisa nokuti yakabva kuna Jehovha.”

3 Naizvozvo akawana Gomeri mwanasikana waDibhiraimu, uye akabata pamuviri akamuberekera mwanakomana.

4 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Hosea, “Mutumidze zita rokuti Jezireeri, nokuti ndava kuda kuranga imba yaJehu zvino nokuda kwavanhu vakaurayiwa paJezireeri, uye ndichagumisa umambo hwaIsraeri.

5 Pazuva iro ndichavhuna uta hwaIsraeri mumupata weJezireeri.”

6 Gomeri akabatazve pamuviri ndokubereka mwanasikana. Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Hosea, “Mutumidze zita rokuti Ro-Ruhama, nokuti handichazoratidzizve rudo kuimba yaIsraeri, kuti nditombovaregerera.

7 Asi ndicharatidza rudo kuimba yaJudha; uye ndichavaponesa, kwete nouta, munondo kana kurwa, kana namabhiza kana navatasvi vamabhiza, asi naJehovha Mwari wavo.”

8 Mushure mokurumura Ro-Ruhama, Gomeri akaberekazve mumwe mwanakomana.

9 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Mutumidze zita rokuti Ro-Ami, nokuti imi hamusi vanhu vangu, uye ini handisi Mwari wenyu.

10 “Kunyange zvakadaro vaIsraeri vachava sejecha riri pamahombekombe egungwa, risingabviri kuyerwa kana kuverengwa. Paya pakanga panzi kwavari, ‘Hamuzi vanhu vangu,’ vachanzi ‘vanakomana vaMwari mupenyu.’

11 Vanhu veJudha navanhu veIsraeri vachabatanazve, uye vachasarudza mutungamiri mumwe chete uye vachasimukira panyika, nokuti zuva raJezireeri richava zuva guru.

1 “Uti kuvanunʼuna vako, ‘Vanhu vangu,’ nokuhanzvadzi dzako ‘vadikanwa vangu.’ ”

Israeri inorangwa uye inodzorwazve

2 “Tsiurai mai venyu, vatsiurei,

Ngavabvise kuonekwa kwoufeve pachiso chavo

3 Kana zvikasadaro, ndichavabvisa nguo dzose

kohwai chibereko chorudo rusingaperi,

mugorima gombo renyu;

nokuti inguva yokutsvaka Jehovha,

kusvikira auya

kuzonayisa utsvene pamusoro penyu.

13 Asi makarima uipi,

mukacheka zvakaipa,

makadya zvibereko zvounyengeri,

nokuti makavimba nesimba renyu

uye navarwi venyu vakawanda,

14 kuomba kwehondo kuchamukira vanhu venyu,

zvokuti masvingo enyu ose achaparadzwa,

sokuparadzwa kwakaitwa Bheti Aribheri neSharimani pazuva rokurwa,

vanamai pavakapanhirwa pasi pamwe chete navana vavo.

15 Ndizvo zvichaitika kwauri, iwe Bheteri,

nokuti uipi hwako hukuru.

Kana zuva iroro roswedera,

mambo weIsraeri achaparadzwa zvachose.
