\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Neno la \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} lililomjia Hosea mwana wa Beeri wakati wa utawala wa Uzia, Yothamu, Ahazi na Hezekia, wafalme wa Yuda, na wakati wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehoashi, mfalme wa Israeli.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{2}Wakati \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} alipoanza kuzungumza kupitia Hosea, \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} alimwambia, “Nenda ukajitwalie mwanamke wa uzinzi na watoto wa uzinzi, kwa sababu nchi ina hatia ya uzinzi wa kupindukia kwa kumwacha \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}.” 
\verseNumber{3}Kwa hiyo alimwoa Gomeri binti Diblaimu, naye akachukua mimba na kumzalia Hosea mwana. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}Kisha \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} akamwambia Hosea, “Mwite Yezreeli,\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1:4 }Yezreeli maana yake Mungu hupanda.} kwa kuwa kitambo kidogo nitaiadhibu nyumba ya Yehu kwa ajili ya mauaji ya kule Yezreeli, nami nitaukomesha ufalme wa Israeli. 
\verseNumber{5}Katika siku ile nitavunja upinde wa Israeli katika Bonde la Yezreeli.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{6}Gomeri akachukua tena mimba akamzaa binti. Kisha \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} akamwambia Hosea, “Mwite Lo-Ruhama,\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1:6 }Lo-Ruhama maana yake Sio mpenzi wangu.} kwa maana sitaonyesha tena upendo kwa nyumba ya Israeli, kwamba nisije kabisa nikawasamehe. 
\verseNumber{7}Hata hivyo nitaonyesha upendo kwa nyumba ya Yuda, nami nitawaokoa si kwa upinde, upanga au vita, wala kwa farasi na wapanda farasi, bali kwa njia ya \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} Mungu wao.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{8}Baada ya Gomeri kumwachisha Lo-Ruhama kunyonya, Gomeri alipata mwana mwingine. 
\verseNumber{9}Kisha \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} akasema, “Mwite Lo-Ami\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1:9 }Lo-Ami maana yake Sio watu wangu.} kwa maana ninyi si watu wangu, nami si Mungu wenu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{10}“Hata hivyo Waisraeli watakuwa kama mchanga kando ya bahari, ambao hauwezi kupimika wala kuhesabiwa. Mahali pale walipoambiwa, ‘Ninyi si watu wangu,’ wao wataitwa ‘wana wa Mungu aliye hai.’ 
\verseNumber{11}Watu wa Yuda na watu wa Israeli wataunganishwa tena, nao watamchagua kiongozi mmoja nao watakwea watoke katika nchi, kwa kuwa siku ya Yezreeli itakuwa kuu sana. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}“Waambie ndugu zako, ‘Watu wangu,’ na pia waambie dada zako, ‘Wapendwa wangu.’

\verseNumber{2}“Mkemeeni mama yenu, mkemeeni, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa maana yeye si mke wangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nami si mume wake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Aondoe sura ya uzinzi katika uso wake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na uzinzi kati ya matiti yake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Kama sivyo nitamvua nguo zake awe uchi 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kumwacha uchi kama siku ile aliyozaliwa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nitamfanya kama jangwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitamgeuza awe nchi ya kiu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nami nitamuua kwa kiu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{4}Sitaonyesha upendo wangu kwa watoto wake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu ni watoto wa uzinzi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Mama yao amekosa uaminifu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na amewachukua mimba katika aibu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Gomeri alisema, ‘Nitawaendea wapenzi wangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambao hunipa chakula changu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na maji yangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
sufu yangu na kitani yangu, mafuta yangu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kinywaji changu.’ 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{6}Kwa hiyo mimi Mungu nitaizuia njia yake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa vichaka vya miiba, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
nitamjengea ukuta ili kwamba 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
asiweze kutoka. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{7}Gomeri atawafuatia wapenzi wake lakini hatawapata; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
atawatafuta lakini hatawapata. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kisha atasema, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
‘Nitarudi kwa mume wangu kama kwanza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kwa maana nilikuwa na hali njema zaidi 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kuliko sasa.’ 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Gomeri hajakubali kuwa mimi ndiye 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
niliyempa nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
niliyemwongezea fedha na dhahabu waliyoitumia 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa kumtumikia Baali. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}“Kwa hiyo nitachukua nafaka yangu wakati itakapokomaa 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na divai yangu mpya wakati itakapokuwa tayari. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nitamnyangʼanya sufu yangu na kitani yangu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
iliyokusudiwa kufunika uchi wake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Basi sasa nitaufunua ufisadi wake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mbele ya wapenzi wake; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
hakuna yeyote atakayemtoa 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mikononi mwangu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Nitakomesha furaha na macheko yake yote: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
sikukuu zake za mwaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
sikukuu za Miandamo ya Mwezi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
siku zake za Sabato, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
sikukuu zake zote zilizoamriwa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Nitaiharibu mizabibu yake na mitini yake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambayo alisema yalikuwa malipo yake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kutoka kwa wapenzi wake; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
nitaifanya kuwa kichaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nao wanyama pori wataila. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{13}Nitamwadhibu kwa ajili ya siku 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
alizowafukizia uvumba Mabaali; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
alipojipamba kwa pete 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kwa vito vya thamani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
na kuwaendea wapenzi wake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini mimi alinisahau,” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQQQ
asema \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{14}“Kwa hiyo sasa nitamshawishi; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitamwongoza hadi jangwani 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kuzungumza naye kwa upole. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{15}Huko nitamrudishia mashamba yake ya mizabibu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nami nitalifanya Bonde la Akori\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2:15 }Akori maana yake ni Taabu.} 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ

\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Huko ataimba kama alivyofanya katika siku za ujana wake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama siku zile alizotoka Misri. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{16}“Katika siku ile,” asema \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
“utaniita mimi ‘Mume wangu’; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hutaniita tena mimi ‘Bwana wangu.’ 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{17}Nitaondoa majina ya Mabaali kutoka midomoni mwake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wala hataomba tena kwa majina yao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{18}Katika siku ile nitafanya Agano kwa ajili yao 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na wanyama wa kondeni, na ndege wa angani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na viumbe vile vitambaavyo ardhini. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Upinde, upanga na vita, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitaondolea mbali katika nchi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ili kwamba wote waweze kukaa salama. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{19}Nitakuposa uwe wangu milele; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitakuposa kwa uadilifu na haki, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa upendo na huruma. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{20}Nitakuposa kwa uaminifu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nawe utamkubali \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{21}“Katika siku ile nitajibu,” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
asema \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“nitajibu kwa anga, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nazo anga zitajibu kwa nchi; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{22}nayo nchi itajibu kwa nafaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
divai mpya na mafuta, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
navyo vitajibu kwa Yezreeli. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{23}Nitampanda katika nchi kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nami nitaonyesha pendo langu kwake 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
yule ambaye nilimwita, ‘Si mpenzi wangu.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2:23 }Kiebrania ni Lo-Ruhama.}’ 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nitawaambia wale walioitwa, ‘Sio watu wangu,’\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2:23 }Kiebrania ni Lo-Ami.} 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
‘Ninyi ni watu wangu’; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nao watasema, ‘Wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu.’ ”

\chapterNumber{3}\BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} akaniambia, “Nenda, ukaonyeshe upendo wako kwa mke wako tena, ingawa amependwa na mwingine naye ni mzinzi. Mpende kama \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} apendavyo Waisraeli, ingawa wanageukia miungu mingine na kupenda mikate mitamu ya zabibu kavu iliyowekwa wakfu.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{2}Basi nilimnunua huyo mwanamke kwa shekeli kumi na tano\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{3:2 }Shekeli 15 za fedha ni sawa na gramu 170.} za fedha, pia kwa kiasi kama cha homeri moja na nusu\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{3:2 Homeri moja na nusu ni kama lita 330.} ya shayiri. 
\verseNumber{3}Kisha nilimwambia, “Utaishi nami kwa siku nyingi, hupaswi kuwa kahaba au kuwa na uhusiano wa karibu na mtu yeyote, nami nitaishi na wewe.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}Kwa maana Waisraeli wataishi siku nyingi bila kuwa na mfalme wala mkuu, bila kuwa na dhabihu wala mawe matakatifu, bila kisibau wala sanamu. 
\verseNumber{5}Baadaye Waisraeli watarudi na kumtafuta \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} Mungu wao na Daudi mfalme wao. Watakuja wakitetemeka kwa \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} na kwa baraka zake katika siku za mwisho.

\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\chapterNumber{4}Sikieni neno la \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana}, enyi Waisraeli, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} analo shtaka 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
dhidi yenu ninyi mnaoishi katika nchi: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Hakuna uaminifu, hakuna upendo, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuna kumjua Mungu katika nchi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{2}Kuna kulaani tu, uongo na uuaji, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wizi na uzinzi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
bila kuwa na mipaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nao umwagaji damu mmoja 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
baada ya mwingine. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Kwa sababu hii nchi huomboleza, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wote waishio ndani mwake wanadhoofika, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
wanyama wa kondeni, ndege wa angani 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na samaki wa baharini wanakufa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{4}“Lakini mtu awaye yote na asilete shtaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mtu yeyote na asimlaumu mwenzake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kwa maana watu wako ni kama wale 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
waletao mashtaka dhidi ya kuhani. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Unajikwaa usiku na mchana, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nao manabii hujikwaa pamoja nawe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kwa hiyo nitamwangamiza mama yako: 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{6}watu wangu wanaangamizwa 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa kukosa maarifa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Kwa kuwa wewe umeyakataa maarifa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mimi nami nitakukataa wewe 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
usiwe kuhani kwangu mimi; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kwa kuwa umeacha kuijali sheria ya Mungu wako 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mimi nami sitawajali watoto wako. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{7}Kadiri makuhani walivyoongezeka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ndivyo walivyozidi kutenda dhambi dhidi yangu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
walibadilisha utukufu wao kwa kitu cha aibu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Hujilisha dhambi za watu wangu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kupendezwa na uovu wao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}Hata itakuwa: Kama walivyo watu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ndivyo walivyo makuhani. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Nitawaadhibu wote wawili kwa ajili ya njia zao 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kuwalipa kwa matendo yao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}“Watakula lakini hawatashiba; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
watajiingiza katika ukahaba 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini hawataongezeka,

\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Roho ya ukahaba imewapotosha, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hawana uaminifu kwa Mungu wao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{13}Wanatoa dhabihu juu ya vilele vya milima 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na sadaka za kuteketezwa juu ya vilima, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
chini ya mialoni, milibua na miela, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambako kuna vivuli vizuri. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kwa hiyo binti zenu wamegeukia ukahaba 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na wake za wana wenu uzinzi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{14}“Sitawaadhibu binti zenu wakati 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wanapogeukia ukahaba, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
wala wake za wana wenu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wanapofanya uzinzi,

watu wasiokuwa na ufahamu

\verseNumber{16}Waisraeli ni wakaidi,

\verseNumber{17}Efraimu amejiunga na sanamu,

\verseNumber{18}Hata wakati wamemaliza vileo vyao

wanaendelea na ukahaba wao,

watawala wao hupenda sana

alikuwa ametukuzwa katika Israeli. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Lakini alikuwa na hatia ya kumwabudu Baali 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
naye akafa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{2}Sasa wanatenda dhambi zaidi na zaidi; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wanajitengenezea sanamu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kutokana na fedha yao, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
vinyago vilivyotengenezwa kwa uhodari, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
vyote kazi ya fundi stadi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Inasemekana kuhusu hawa watu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
“Hutoa dhabihu za binadamu 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kubusu sanamu za ndama.” 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{3}Kwa hiyo watakuwa kama ukungu wa asubuhi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama umande wa alfajiri utowekao, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
kama makapi yapeperushwayo 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kutoka sakafu ya kupuria nafaka, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama moshi utorokao kupitia dirishani. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{4}“Bali mimi ndimi \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} Mungu wenu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
niliyewaleta ninyi toka Misri. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Msimkubali Mungu mwingine ila mimi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hakuna Mwokozi isipokuwa mimi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{5}Niliwatunza huko jangwani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
katika nchi yenye joto liunguzalo. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{6}Nilipowalisha, walishiba, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
waliposhiba, wakajivuna, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kisha wakanisahau mimi. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{7}Kwa hiyo nitakuja juu yao kama simba, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kama chui nitawavizia kando ya njia. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{8}Kama dubu aliyenyangʼanywa watoto wake, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitawashambulia na kurarua vifua vyenu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Kama simba nitawala; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
mnyama pori atawararua vipande vipande. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{9}“Ee Israeli, umeangamizwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu wewe u kinyume nami, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kinyume na msaidizi wako. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{10}Yuko wapi mfalme wako, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ili apate kukuokoa? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Wako wapi watawala wako katika miji yako yote 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ambao ulisema kuwahusu, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
‘Nipe mfalme na wakuu’? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{11}Hivyo katika hasira yangu nilikupa mfalme 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na katika ghadhabu yangu nilimwondoa. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{12}Kosa la Efraimu limehifadhiwa, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
dhambi zake zimewekwa katika kumbukumbu. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{13}Utungu kama wa mwanamke anayejifungua mtoto humjia, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
lakini yeye ni mtoto asiyekuwa na hekima; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
wakati utakapowadia hatatoka 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
katika tumbo la mama yake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{14}“Nitawakomboa watu hawa kutoka nguvu za kaburi, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
nitawakomboa kutoka mautini. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Yako wapi, ee mauti, mateso yako? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Uko wapi, ee kuzimu, uharibifu wako? 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
“Sitakuwa na huruma, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
\verseNumber{15}hata ingawa Efraimu atastawi 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
miongoni mwa ndugu zake. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Upepo wa mashariki kutoka kwa \BibleCharacterStyleND{Bwana} utakuja, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
ukivuma kutoka jangwani, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
chemchemi yake haitatoa maji 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
na kisima chake kitakauka. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Ghala lake litatekwa 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
hazina zake zote. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
\verseNumber{16}Watu wa Samaria ni lazima wabebe hatia yao, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
kwa sababu wameasi dhidi ya Mungu wao. 
\BibleParagraphStyleQ
Wataanguka kwa upanga; 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
watoto wao wadogo watatupwa kwa nguvu ardhini, 
\BibleParagraphStyleQQ
wanawake wao walio na mimba watatumbuliwa.”

harufu yake nzuri kama mwerezi wa Lebanoni.

Mimi ni kama msunobari wenye majani mabichi;

kuzaa kwako matunda kunatoka kwangu.”

Ni nani mwenye ufahamu? Huyu atayaelewa.
