Hoseya 1 UJehova watshela uHoseya ukuthi athathe isifebe

¹ Izwi likaJehova elafika kuHosheya indodana kaBeri emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda, nasemihleni kaJerobowamu indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.

² Ukuqala kwezwi likaJehova ngoHoseya. UJehova wathi kuHoseya: “Hamba uzithathele isifebe nabantwana besifebe, ngokuba izwe lifebe kakhulu ngokusuka kuJehova.

³ Wayesehamba wathatha uGomere indodakazi kaDibilayimi; owakhulelwa, wamzalela indodana.

⁴ UJehova wathi kuye: “Mbize ngokuthi uJizreyeli; ngoba kuseyisikhashana nje ngiphindisele igazi laseJizreyeli endlini kaJehu, ngiqede ubukhosi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli.

⁵ Ngalolo suku ngiyakwaphula umnsalo ka-Israyeli esigodini saseJizreyeli.

⁶ Wabuye wakhulelwa, wazala indodakazi. UNkulunkulu wathi kuye: “Mbize ngokuthi uLoruhama, ngokuba angisayikuba nomusa kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli; kodwa ngizabasusa ngokupheleleyo.

⁷ Kodwa ngiyohawukela indlu yakwaJuda futhi ngiyophule ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wayo, futhi ngeke ngibakhulule ngomnsalo noma ngenkemba noma ngempi, ngamahhashi noma ngezinkweli zamahhashi.

⁸ Eselumulile uLoruhama, wakhulelwa, wazala indodana.

⁹ UNkulunkulu wathi: “Mbize ngokuthi uLoami, ngokuba anisibo abantu bami, nami angiyikuba nguNkulunkulu wenu;

¹⁰ Kodwa umumo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli uyakuba ngangesihlabathi solwandle esingenakulinganiswa nokubalwa; nasendaweni lapho kwathiwa kubo: Anisibo abantu bami, kuyakuthiwa kubo: Ningabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

¹¹ Khona abantwana bakwaJuda nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakubuthana, bazikhethele umholi oyedwa, bakhuphuke baphume ezweni, ngokuba luyoba lukhulu usuku lwaseJizreyeli.
