uHoseya uHoseya 9 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Musa ukuvuya, Sirayeli, ngokuvuya kweentlanga; ngokuba ukrexezile, umshiyile uThixo wakho, wawuthanda umvuzo wazo zonke izithungu zengqolowa.

2Isixovulelo sewayini nesixovulelo sewayini asiyi kubondla, nobulembu buya kutshabalala kubo.

3Abahlali ezweni likaYehova; kodwa uEfrayim uya kubuyela eYiputa, yaye baya kudla izinto ezingahlambulukanga eAsiriya.

4Abayi kuzisa iwayini kuYehova, yaye abayi kumkholisa; basuke ababuleweyo babe njengesonka sosizi kubo; Bonke abayidlayo boba ziinqambi; ngokuba ukudla kwabo akuyi kungena endlwini kaYehova ngenxa yomphefumlo wabo.

5Niya kwenza ntoni na ngemini yomthendeleko nangemini yomthendeleko kaYehova?

6Kuba, yabonani, bemkile ngenxa yembuqo; iYiputa iya kubabutha, iMofi iya kubangcwaba; ziya kudla ilifa iimbovane zabo zesilivere; kukho ameva ezintenteni zabo.

7Kufike iimini zokuvelela, kufike iimini zempindezelo; Uya kwazi ke uSirayeli ukuthi: Umprofeti usisidenge, uyageza indoda enomoya, ngenxa yobuninzi bobubi bakho, nangenxa yentiyo yakho eninzi.

8Ngumboniseli uEfrayim ngakuThixo wam; umprofeti ngumgibe womthiyeli ezindleleni zakhe zonke, ulizothe endlwini yoThixo wakhe.

9Bacikidekile, njengokuba bekunjalo ngemihla yaseGibheha; ke ngoko, uya kuyikhumbula inkohlakalo yabo kwaye abohlwaye ngenxa yezono zabo.

10Ndamfumana uSirayeli enjengediliya entlango; Ndabubona uyihlo njengeqabaka kuwokuqala umkhiwane; Ke bona baya eBhahali-pehore, bazahlula beneentloni; namadlavu awo asala ngokokuthanda kwawo.

11uEfrayim, uzuko lwakhe luya kuphaphazela njengentaka;

12Nokuba bathe bakhulisa oonyana, ndobaphanga, kungabikho usalayo; ewe, yeha nabo xa ndibashiya!

13Njengoko ndayibonayo iTire, uEfrayim uzinzile ekriweni, kodwa uEfrayim uya kubakhokelela kumbulali oonyana bakhe.

14Yehova, banike; wobanika ntoni na? banike izisu ezomileyo namabele.

15Bonke ububi babo buseGiligali, kuba ndabathiya khona; ngenxa yobubi beentlondi zabo, ndiya kubagxotha endlwini yam, ndingabi sabathanda;

16Ubethiwe uEfrayim, ingcambu yabo yomile, abayi kuxakatha siqhamo; nokuba bathe bazala, ndosibulala nesiqhamo esinqwenelekayo sesizalo sabo.

17uThixo wam uya kubashiya, ngenxa yokuba bengakuphulaphulanga, yaye baya kuphalaphala ezintlangeni.
