Hoseya 12 - Siswati 1996 Bible

¹ Efrayimu utondla ngemoya, ucoshana nemoya wasemphumalanga lonkhe lilanga, wandzise emanga nebudlova. Wakha sivumelwane ne-Asiriya, atfumele emafutsa emncumo eGibhithe.

² Simakadze ubeka Juda licala, utawujezisa Jakobe njengekwetindlela takhe, amkhokhele ngangekwemisebenti yakhe.

³ Esiswini wabamba sitsendze semnakabo; asangumuntfu lomdzala walwa naNkulunkulu.

⁴ Walwa nengilosi, wayehlula. Wakhala ancenga sibusiso sakhe, wakhandzana naye eBetheli, wakhuluma naye khona lapho,

⁵ Simakadze Nkulunkulu longuSomandla, nguSimakadze Libito lakhe ladvume ngalo.

⁶ Kodvwa wena kufanele ubuyele kuNkulunkulu wakho, umtsandze, ulalele imitsetfo yakhe, wente intsandvo yakhe, ulindzele Nkulunkulu wakho ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi.

Lamanye futsi emavi ekwehlulela

⁷ Umhwebi usebentisa tikalo letingaketsembeki; uyakutsandza kukhwabanisa timali.

⁸ Efrayimu uyatigabatisa, utsi: “Nginjinge kakhulu; senginemfuyo lenyenti. Ngalobunjinga bami bonkhe bangeke bakutfole lokubi nome sono kimi.”

⁹ “Mine nginguSimakadze Nkulunkulu wakho, lowakukhipha eGibhithe; ngiyawuphindze ngikwente uhlale emathendeni, njengasetikhatsini temadzili akho lemisiwe.

¹⁰ Ngakhuluma kubaphrofethi, ngabanika imibono leminyenti, ngakhuluma imifanekiso ngabo.”

¹¹ Gileyadi ukhohlakele yini? Bantfu bakhe akusibantfu balutfo! Bayayenta imihlatjelo yetinkunzi eGilgali, ngako-ke emalati abo ayawufanana netincumbi tematje lasensimini lelinyiwe.

¹² Jakobe wabalekela eveni lase-Aramu; Israyeli wasebentela kutfola umfati, ngekwelusa timvu.

¹³ Simakadze wasebentisa umphrofethi kuze abuyise Israyeli amkhiphe eGibhithe, wamnakekela ngesandla semphrofethi.

¹⁴ Kodvwa Efrayimu sewucunule Simakadze kakhulu, wadzimate watfukutsela; Simakadze wakhe uyawumetfwesa licala lakhe lekucitsa ingati, amkhokhise ngaloko kumhlazisa kwakhe.
