12 “Tsopano Aisiraeli inu, kodi Yehova Mulungu wanu akufuna kuti muzichita chiyani,+ koposa kuopa+ Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti muziyenda m’njira zake zonse,+ kukonda+ ndi kutumikira Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi mtima wanu wonse, ndi moyo wanu wonse,+

4 Komanso kuti Yehova adzakwaniritse mawu ake okhudza ine amene analankhula,+ akuti, ‘Ana ako+ akadzasamalira njira zawo, mwa kuyenda+ mokhulupirika*+ pamaso panga ndi mtima wawo wonse+ ndi moyo wawo wonse, munthu wa m’banja lako sadzachoka pampando wachifumu wa Isiraeli.’+

23 Uteteze mtima wako kuposa zonse zimene ziyenera kutetezedwa,+ pakuti mumtimamo ndiye muli akasupe a moyo.+

4 Ndiyeno Yehova anauza Hoseya kuti: “Mwanayu umupatse dzina lakuti Yezereeli,+ pakuti kwatsala kanthawi kochepa kuti ndiimbe Yezereeli* mlandu wokhetsa magazi, mlandu wa nyumba ya Yehu.+ Pamenepo ndidzathetsa ufumu wolamulira nyumba ya Isiraeli,+

38 “Koma wolungama wanga adzakhala ndi moyo mwa chikhulupiriro chake,”+ ndipo “ngati wabwerera m’mbuyo, ine sindikondwera naye.”+
