uEfrayim uya kutshatyalaliswa

1uSirayeli ngumdiliya onabileyo, wazixakathela iziqhamo ngokwawo; ngobuninzi beziqhamo zakhe, wándisa izibingelelo; ngokulunga kwelizwe lakhe benza imifanekiso emihle.

2Yaba buthelezi intliziyo yabo; ngoko ke baya kufunyanwa bebuthathaka; uya kuzidiliza izibingelelo zabo, ayitshabalalise izithixo zabo.

3Ngokuba ngoku baya kuthi, Asinakumkani, kuba asimoyikanga uYehova; uya kusenza ntoni na ukumkani?

4Bathetha amazwi yaye bafunga ngobuxoki ngokwenza umnqophiso;

5Abemi baseSamariya baya kutyhwatyhwa ngenxa yamathole eenkomo aseBhete-aven, ngenxa yokuba abantu bakhona baya kuzilela ngenxa yayo nababingeleli bayo abayenzela isijwili, ngenxa yozuko lwalo, ngenxa yokuba lumkile kulo.

6Liya kusiwa eAsiriya libe ngumnikelo kukumkani uYarebhi; uya kudana uEfrayim, abe neentloni uSirayeli ngenxa yecebo lakhe.

7Ke elakwaSamari, ukumkani walo udakile, njengegwebu phezu kwamanzi;

8Kananjalo iintaba zaseAfene, oko kukuthi, isono sikaSirayeli, ziya kuphanziswa; Kuya kukhula imithana enameva neenkunzane ezibingelelweni zabo; baya kuthi kwiintaba, Sigubungeleni; nakwiinduli, Masiwe.

9Kususela kwimihla yaseGibheha, Sirayeli wona; kulapho babemi khona;

10Ndiya kubathethisa ke ngokomnqweno wam; kwaye abantu baya kubahlanganisana ukuba bababophe ngeendlela zabo zombini.

11uEfrayim unjengethokazi lenkomo eliqeqeshiweyo, elithanda ukudla ingqolowa; ke ndayigqitha intamo yalo entle; Ndiya kukhwela phezu kwaEfrayim; uYuda uya kutyala, uYakobi uya kusiqhekeza isanda sakhe.

12Hlwayela ubulungisa, uvune inceba; limeni amasimi enu, ngokuba ilixesha lokumquqela uYehova, ade afike aninise ubulungisa.

13Nahlwayela ubugqwetha, navuna ubugqwetha; nadla iziqhamo zobuxoki, ngokuba ukholose ngendlela yenu, nangobuninzi bamagorha akho.

14Kuya kubakho isiphithiphithi phakathi kwabantu bakowenu, ziphangwe zonke iinqaba zakho, njengoko uSolomon wayibhulayo iBhete-arbhele, ngemini yemfazwe;

15Iya kwenjenjalo kuni iBheteli, ngenxa yobubi bezinto zenu ezimbi; ngomso uya kuqalekiswa ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
