Ithole lakwaSamari liya kutyunyuzwa

1Faka isigodlo emlonyeni wakho. Uyihlasele njengexhalanga indlu kaYehova, ngenxa yokuba bawaphule umnqophiso wam, bawaphule umyalelo wam.

2Wondibiza uSirayeli, athi, Thixo wam, siyakwazi, Thixo wethu;

3Ulahlile uSirayeli izinto ezilungileyo; utshaba malumsukele.

4Bamise ookumkani, kungengam; Bamise abathetheli, ndingazi mna; isilivere yabo negolide yabo bazenzele izithixo, ukuze batshatyalaliswe.

5Ithole lakho, elakwaSamari, likulahlile; Umsindo wam uyavutha; Kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuba bafezekise ubumsulwa?

6Kuba nalo laliphuma kwaSirayeli: lalisenziwa ngomsebénzi; ngoko ke, asinguThixo, kodwa lithole laseSamariya eliya kutyunyuzwa.

7Ngokuba babehlwayele umoya, bavuna umoya osisaqhwithi; ihlumelo aliyi kuvelisa umgubo; ukuba kunjalo, boyidla abasemzini.

8Utshabalale uSirayeli; ngoku baya kuba phakathi kweentlanga njengesenzo sobubi.

9Kuba bona banyuke baya eAsiriya, njengeesile lasendle; uEfrayim waqesha izithandwa.

10Ewe, nakuba beqeshwa ezintlangeni, ndiya kubabutha ngoku, bambambazele kancinane ngenxa yomthwalo wokumkani wabathetheli.

11Kuba uEfrayim uzandisile izibingelelo zesono;

12Ndambhalela izinto ezinkulu zomyalelo wam;

13Babingelela inyama, badla; ke uYehova akakholiswa ngabo; ngoku niya kubukhumbula ububi babo, nizohlwaye ngenxa yezono zabo; baya kubuyela eYiputa.

14Ngokuba uSirayeli wamlibala uMenzi wakhe, wakha iitempile; noYuda uzandisile izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo, kodwa mna ndiya kuphosa umlilo kwizixeko zakhe, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuzitshisa iinqaba zakhe ezinde.
