¹Isa hwamanda pamuromo wako. Zvinouya segondo kuzorwa neimba yaJehovha, nekuti vakadarika sungano yangu nokutadzira murayiro wangu.

¹“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

²Vachadana kwandiri, vachiti, Mwari wangu, isu vaIsiraeri tinokuzivai.

³Isiraeri vakarasha zvakanaka; muvengi wavo achavateverera.

³Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.

⁴Vakagadza madzimambo, asi havana kurairwa neni; vakazvitsaurira machinda, ini ndisingazvizivi; vakazviitira zvifananidzo nesirivha uye nendarama yavo, kuti zviparadzwe.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

⁵Mhuru yako, iwe Samaria, inonyangadza; kutsamwa kwangu kwakavamukira; kusvikira riniko pavachazokwanisa kusununguka pakurangwa?

⁵Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?

⁶nekuti chinhu ichi chakabvawo kuvaIsiraeri; mupfuri wakachiita, hachizi Mwari; zvirokwazvo, mhuri yeSamaria ichaputswa-putswa.

⁶For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁷nekuti vanodzvara mhepo, vachacheka chamupupuri, havane zviyo pamunda; chipande hachingavigiri hupfu; kunyange chikabereka, zvichamedzwa navatorwa.

⁷For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

⁸Isiraeri vakamedzwa; zvino vava pakati pamarudzi somudziyo usingadikamwi nomunhu.

⁸Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

⁹nekuti vakaenda Asiria, sembizi inongozvifambira iri yoga; vaEfuremu vakazvitsvakira shamwari vachidziripira.

⁹For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.

¹⁰Zvirokwazvo, kunyange vachizvitsvakira idzo pakati pamarudzi, ndichavaunganidza zvino, votanga kutapudzwa nemhaka yokuremedzwa namambo wamachinda.

¹⁰But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

¹¹Efuremu zvaakawanza maaritari okutadza nawo, maaritari ake akamutadzisa.

¹¹Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.

¹²Ndakamunyorera mashoko ane zviuru zvine gumi omurayiro wangu, asi vanoti ndezvavatorwa.

¹²I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.

¹³Kana zviri zvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvangu, vanobayira nyama ndokuidya; asi Jehovha haana kuzvigamuchira; zvino ucharangarira zvakaipa zvavo, nokuvarova pamusoro pezvivi zvavo; vachadzokera Egipita.

¹³As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.

¹⁴nekuti Isiraeri vakakangamwa Muiti wavo, vakavaka dzimba dzoushe; Judha vakawanza maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo; asi ini ndichatuma moto kumaguta avo, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzawo.

¹⁴For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
