Amadoda akwaEfrayim aya kulwa

1Ahlanganisana amadoda akwaEfrayim, aya entla, athi kuYafete, Yini na ukuba ubaxabele oonyana baka-Amon, ungasibizanga sihambe nawe? siya kuyitshisa indlu yakho phezu kwakho ngomlilo.

2Wathi uYafete kubo, Mna nabantu bam sasibambene kakhulu noonyana baka-Amon; ndakubiza, anandihlangula esandleni sabo.

3Ndithe ndakubona ukuba anindisindisi, ndawunikela umphefumlo wam esandleni sam, ndawela ndaya koonyana baka-Amon, uYehova wabanikela esandleni sam; kungenxa yoko le nto nize kum namhlanje ukuba nilwe. Mna?

4Wawahlanganisa ke uYafete onke amadoda aseGiliyadi, walwa noEfrayim; amadoda aseGiliyadi amoyisa uEfrayim, ngokuba ebesithi, Nina, madoda aseGiliyadi, nasabayo ezweni lakwaEfrayim, naphakathi kwamaEfrayim namaManase.

5AmaGiliyadi athabatha inxalenye yeYordan phambi koonyana bakaEfrayim; Athi kuye amadoda aseGiliyadi, UngumEfrayim na? Ukuba uthe: Hayi!

6Bathi kuye, Yithi, Sibholete, wathi, Sibholete, ngokuba engakwazi ukuthetha kakuhle. Bandula ke bambamba baza bambulalela eYordan, yaye ngelo xesha kwakukho amashumi amane anesibini amawaka akwaEfrayim.

7uYafete wawakhokela amaSirayeli iminyaka emithandathu. Wafa uYafete waseGiliyadi, wangcwatyelwa komnye umzi waseGiliyadi.

8Emva kwakhe uIbhesan waseBhetelehem wakhokela amaSirayeli.

9Wayenoonyana abamashumi mathathu neentombi ezimashumi mathathu; Yaye wawakhokela amaSirayeli iminyaka esixhenxe.

10Wafa ke uIbhesan, wangcwatyelwa eBhetelehem.

11Emva kwakhe uElon umZebhulon wayekhokela oonyana bakaSirayeli; waba neminyaka elishumi engukumkani kwaSirayeli.

12Wafa uElon wakwaZebhulon, wangcwatyelwa eAyalon ezweni lakwaZebhulon.

13Emva kwakhe uAbhedon unyana kaHileli wasePiraton wayekhokela oonyana bakaSirayeli.

14Wayenoonyana abamashumi mane, nabazukulwana abamashumi mathathu, ababekhwele iimazi zamaesile ezimashumi mathandathu; yaye wabakhokela oonyana bakaSirayeli iminyaka esibhozo.

15Wafa ke uAbhedon unyana kaHileli, wasePiraton, wangcwatyelwa ePiraton, ezweni lakwaEfrayim, kweleentaba lama-Amaleki.
