Hosiya 8:1-14
8 “Vuthela iphondo!+
Kukhona oza njengekhozi uzokulwa nendlu kaJehova,+Ngombana baphule isivumelwano+ sami begodu bonile malungana nomthethwami.+
2 Balila kimi bathi, ‘Zimethu, thina Israyeli, siyakwazi!’+
3 U-Israyeli wale okulungileko.+
Akagijinyiswe linaba.
4 Babeke amakhosi kodwana ingasi ngemvumo yami.
Babeke amakhosana kodwana akhenge ngiwazi.
Ngesiliva labo negolide labo benze iinthombe,+Kwaba kutjhatjalaliswa kwabo.+
5 Ikonyana lakho laliwe, Samariya.+
Ilaka lami liyavutha malungana nabo.+
Kuzabe kube kunini bangakghoni ukuba msulwa?
6 Ngombana livela ku-Israyeli.
Lenziwe sisebenzi sobukghwari begodu alisinguZimu,Ikonyana leSamariya lizokuphulwa libe ziinquqwana.
7 Ngombana batjala umoya,Bazokuvuna isiwuruwuru.+
Alikho ihlanga eliveza ikoroyi evuthiweko,+Nanyana yini emilako ayivezi iflowuru.
Nakungenzeka ivele, abantu abavela kwenye inarha bazoyirhiribidela.+
8 U-Israyeli uzokurhiribidelwa.+
Bazokuba hlangana neentjhaba,+Njengesitja esingafunwako.
9 Ngombana bakhuphukele e-Asiriya,+ njengodumbana wommango oyikom’edla yodwa.
U-Efrayimu uqatjhe iinthandwa.+
10 Ngitjho nanyana baziqatjha hlangana neentjhaba,Ngizokubangela ukubuthelelwa,Uzokutlhaga+ ngebanga lomthwalo obekwe yikosi namakhosana.
11 Ngombana u-Efrayimu wandise ama-aldara bona one.+
Abe ma-aldarakhe wokona.+
12 Ngimtlolele okunengi ngomthethwami,*Kodwana akhenge abe nendaba nakho.+
13 Bangenzela imihlatjelo yezipho, badla inyamayo,Kodwana uJehova akathabi ngabo.+
Nje-ke uzokukhumbula umtjhaphwabo begodu abajezise ngebanga lezono zabo.+
Babuyele* eGibhide.+
14 U-Israyeli ukhohlwe uMenzakhe+ begodu wakhe amathempeli,+NoJuda wandise amadorobho avikelekileko.+
Kodwana ngizokuthumela umlilo emadorobhenakhe,Uzokutjhabalalisa imibhotjhongo yedorobho ngalinye.”+
