Hoseya 4 Izwe liyolila

¹ Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina bantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba uJehova unokuphikisana nabakhileyo ezweni, ngokuba akukho qiniso, akukho umusa, akukho kwazi uNkulunkulu ezweni.

² Ngokuthuka, nokuqamba amanga, nokubulala, nokweba, nokuphinga, bayafohla, igazi lithinta igazi.

³ Ngalokho izwe liyakukhala, bonke abakhileyo kulo badangale, nezilwane zasendle nezinyoni zezulu; yebo, ngisho nezinhlanzi zolwandle ziyosuswa.

⁴ Kodwa kakungabi lamuntu ophikisayo kumbe okhuza omunye, ngoba abantu bakini banjengalabo abaphikisana lomphristi.

⁵ Ngalokho uyakuwa emini, nomprofethi awe kanye nawe ebusuku, ngichithe unyoko.

⁶ Abantu bami babhubha ngokuswela ukwazi; ngokuba ukulahlile ukwazi, nami ngiyakukulahla, ungabi ngumpristi wami; ngoba ukhohliwe umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho, lami ngizakhohlwa abantwana bakho.

⁷ Njengoba banda, kanjalo bona kimi; ngalokho ngiyakuphendula udumo lwabo lube yihlazo.

⁸ Badla isono sabantu bami, babeka inhliziyo yabo ebubini babo.

⁹ Futhi njengabantu kuyakuba khona njengabapristi, futhi ngiyobahambela ngenxa yezindlela zabo futhi ngibuyisele kubo izenzo zabo.

¹⁰ Ngokuba bayakudla, bangasuthi; bayofeba, bangande, ngokuba bayekile ukumlalela uJehova.

¹¹ Ubufebe newayini newayini elisha kususa inhliziyo.

¹² Abantu bami babuza enqoleni yabo, udondolo lwabo luyabatshela, ngokuba umoya wobufebe ubadukisile, baphingile phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo.

¹³ Bahlabela eziqongweni zezintaba, benyusa impepho emagqumeni, phansi kwama-oki, nemipopulari, nemifembe, ngokuba umthunzi wawo muhle; ngalokho amadodakazi enu ayaphinga, nabayeni benu bayaphinga.

¹⁴ Angiyikuhambela amadodakazi enu, uma efeba, nabafelokazi benu, uma bephinga; ngoba bahlukene nezifebe, bahlabela nezifebe; ngakho-ke abantu abangaqondi bayakuwa.

¹⁵ Noma ufeba, Israyeli, uJuda makangakhubeki; ningezi eGiligali, ningakhuphukeli eBeti Aveni, ningafungi: Kuphila kukaJehova!

¹⁶ Ngokuba u-Israyeli uwile njengethokazi elinhlanhlathayo; manje uJehova uyakuzalusa njengewundlu endaweni ebanzi.

¹⁷ U-Efrayimi uhlangene nezithombe; makasukume.

¹⁸ Isiphuzo sabo simuncu; baphinga njalo; abaphathi bakhe bathanda ngamahloni, bakunike.

¹⁹ Umoya umbophile ngamaphiko akhe, futhi bayoba namahloni ngemihlatshelo yabo.
