1Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Hosiya mwanakaomana waBheeri, namazuva aUziya naJotami naAhazi naHezekia, madzimambo aJudha, uye namazuva aJerobhoami mwanakomana waJoashi, mambo waIsiraeri.
1The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2Pakutanga kokutaura kwaJehovha naHosiya, Jehovha akati kuna Hosiya, Enda undozvitorera mukadzi woufeve navana voufeve; nekuti nyika inofeva zvikuru, zvavakasiyana naJehovha.
2The beginning of the word of Jehovah through Hosea. And Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms; for the land is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah.
3Naizvozvo akaenda akatora Gomeri mukunda waDibhiraimi, iye akanaka pamuviri akamuberekera mwanakomana.
3And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
4Jehovha akati kwaari, Mutumidze zita rinonzi Jezireeri, nekuti kwasara chinguva chiduku, ipapo ndichatsiva ropa reJezireeri paimba yaJehu, nokugumisa ushe bweimba yaIsiraeri.
4And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jizreel; for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jizreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
5Zvino nezuva iro ndichavhuna uta hwaIsiraeri mumupata weJezireeri.
5And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jizreel.
6Akanakazve pamuviri, ndokubereka mwanasikana. Jehovha akati kwaari, Mutumidze iye zita rinonzi Roruhama; nekuti handichazonzwiri imba yaIsiraeri nyasha nditongovakangamwira.
6And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, so that I should pardon them.
7Asi ndichanzwira imba yaJudha nyasha, ndichavaponesa naJehovha Mwari wavo, handingavaponesi nouta, kana nomunondo, kana nokurwa, kana namabhiza, kana navatasvi vamabhiza.
7But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, [or] by horses, or by horsemen.
8Zvino akati arumura Roruhama, akanakazve pamuviri, akabereka mwanakomana.
8And she weaned Lo-ruhamah; and she conceived and bore a son;
9Jehovha akati, Mutumidze zita rinonzi Roami; nekuti imwi hamuzi vanhu vangu, neni handingavi Mwari wenyu.
9and he said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be for you.
10Kunyange zvakadaro kuwanda kwavana vaIsiraeri kuchaita sejecha regungwa, risingabviri kuyerwa kana kuverengwa; zvichaitika kuti paya pakanga panzi kwavari, Hamuzi vanhu vangu, ndipapo pazvichanzi kwavari, Muri vanakomana vaMwari mupenyu.
10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living ùGod.
11Vana vaJudha navana vaIsiraeri vachaunganidzwa pamwechete, vachazvigadzira mukuru mumwe, ndokubva panyika nekuti zuva reJezireeri richava guru.
11And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.
