Je, Efraimu si mwanangu mpendwa, mtoto ninayependezwa naye? Ingawa mara kwa mara ninanena dhidi yake, bado ninamkumbuka. Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unamwonea shauku, nina huruma kubwa kwa ajili yake,” asema Bwana.

Context
18“Hakika nimeyasikia maombolezo ya Efraimu:
‘Ulinirudi kama ndama mkaidi,
nami nimekubali kutii.
Unirudishe, nami nitarudi,
kwa sababu wewe ndiwe Bwana, Mungu wangu. 19Baada ya kupotea, nilitubu;
baada ya kuelewa, nilijipiga kifua.
Niliaibika na kuona haya
kwa sababu niliibeba aibu ya ujana wangu.’ 20Je, Efraimu si mwanangu mpendwa,
mtoto ninayependezwa naye?
Ingawa mara kwa mara ninanena dhidi yake,
bado ninamkumbuka.
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unamwonea shauku,
nina huruma kubwa kwa ajili yake,”
asema Bwana. 21“Weka alama za barabara,
weka vibao vya kuelekeza.
Zingatia vyema njia kuu,
barabara ile unayoipita.
Rudi, ee Bikira Israeli,
rudi kwenye miji yako. 22Utatangatanga hata lini,
ee binti usiye mwaminifu?
Bwana ameumba kitu kipya duniani:
mwanamke atamlinda mwanaume.”
