Hoseya 9

¹ Ungathokozi, Israyeli, ngokuthokoza njengezizwe; ngokuba ufebile kuNkulunkulu wakho, wathanda umvuzo ezibuyani zamabele.

² Isibuya nesikhamo sewayini akuyikubapha ukudla, notshani buyophela kubo.

³ Abayikuhlala ezweni likaJehova; kepha u-Efrayimi uyakubuyela eGibithe, badle okungcolileyo e-Asiriya.

⁴ Abanakunikela ngewayini kuJehova, futhi abayikumthokozisa; izisulu zabo ziyoba njengesinkwa sokulila kubo; bonke abakudlayo bayakuba ngabangcolile, ngokuba isinkwa sabo asiyikungena endlini kaJehova ngenxa yomphefumulo wabo.

⁵ Niyakwenzani ngosuku lomkhosi nangosuku lomkhosi kaJehova na?

⁶ Ngokuba bhekani, sebehambile ngenxa yokubhujiswa; izindawo zobumnandi besiliva labo liyakudliwa yizimbabazane; ameva ayakuba sematendeni abo.

⁷ Izinsuku zokuhanjelwa sezifikile, izinsuku zokuphindisela sezifikile; U-Israyeli uyakukwazi lokhu: Umprofethi uyisiwula, nomuntu ongokomoya uyahlanya, ngenxa yobuningi bobubi bakho nenzondo enkulu.

⁸ Umlindi ka-Efrayimi wayenoNkulunkulu wami, kepha umprofethi ulugibe lomcuphi wezinyoni ezindleleni zakhe zonke, nenzondo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakhe.

⁹ Bazonakalisa ngokujulile njengasezinsukwini zaseGibeya; ngalokho uyakukhumbula ububi babo, ahambele izono zabo.

¹⁰ Ngafumana u-Israyeli enjengezithelo zomvini ehlane; Ngabona oyihlo njengezithwathwa zokuqala emkhiwaneni ekuqaleni kwawo; kepha baya eBali Peyori, bazihlukanisela ihlazo; nezinengiso zabo zazinjengokuthanda kwabo.

¹¹ Kepha u-Efrayimi, udumo lwakhe luyondiza lumuke njengenyoni, ekuzalweni nasesiswini nasekukhulelweni.

¹² Noma bekhulisa abantwana babo, nokho ngiyakubaphanga, kungabikho muntu; yebo, maye kubo futhi lapho ngisuka kubo!

¹³ U-Efrayimi, njengalokho ngabona iTire, litshalwe endaweni emnandi, kepha u-Efrayimi uyakukhiphela umbulali abantwana bakhe.

¹⁴ Baphe, Jehova, uzabanikani? abakhiphe isisu futhi ome amabele.

¹⁵ Bonke ububi babo buseGiligali, ngokuba ngabazonda khona; ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zabo ngiyakubaxosha endlini yami, angisayikubathanda; zonke izikhulu zabo ziyizihlubuki.

¹⁶ U-Efrayimi ushayiwe, impande yabo yomile, abayikuthela; noma bezala, nokho ngiyakubulala isithelo esithandekayo sesisu sabo.

¹⁷ UNkulunkulu wami uyakubalahla, ngokuba abamlalelanga, bayakuba yizihambi phakathi kwezizwe.
