Ukungazisoli Kuka-Israyeli
1“Lapho nje ngimphulukisa u-Israyeli,
kuyakuhlala obala isiphambeko sika-Efrayimi
nobubi beSamariya,
ngokuba benza inkohliso,
kwagqekeza amasela,
neqembu labaphangi lahlasela emigwaqweni.
2Abacabangi emiqondweni yabo
ukuthi ngibukhumbula bonke ububi babo.
Manje sebehaqwe yizenzo zabo,
eziphambi kobuso bami.
3“Bathokozisa inkosi ngobubi babo,
nezikhulu ngamanga abo.
4Bonke bayiziphingi,
banjengeziko elibaswe ngumbhaki,
oyekela ukukhwezela
kusukela ekuxoveni inhlama ize ikhukhumale.
5Ngosuku lwenkosi yethu
izikhulu zazigulisa ngokushisa kwewayini;
yona yelula isandla sayo nezigebengu.
6Impela bashisisa izinhliziyo zabo
ngamacebo abo njengeziko,
umbhaki wabo ulala ubusuku bonke;
ekuseni livutha njengomlilo wamalangabi.
7Bonke bashisa njengeziko,
bashwabadela ababusi babo.
Wonke amakhosi abo awile,
akukho namunye phakathi kwabo ongibizayo.
8“U-Efrayimi uzihlanganisa nezizwe,
usephunduke iqebelengwana lesinkwa elingaphendulwanga.
9Abafokazi badle amandla akhe,
kodwa yena akazi;
izinwele zakhe seziyaqhakaza,
kepha yena akazi.
10Ukuzigqaja kuka-Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe,
kodwa ababuyelanga kuSimakade uNkulunkulu wabo,
abamfunanga kukho konke lokho.
11“U-Efrayimi usenjengejuba elingenangqondo;
babize iGibhithe, baya e-Asiriya.
12Kuyakuthi lapho sebehamba,
ngiphonse inetha lami phezu kwabo,
ngibathele othulini njengezinyoni zezulu,
ngibabambe lapho ngizwa umbiko
ngokuhlangana kwabo.
13Maye kubo, ngokuba bangibalekele!
Bazokwehlelwa yinhlekelele,
ngokuba bangihlubukile.
Bengiyakubahlenga Mina,
kodwa bakhulume amanga ngami.
14Abakhalanga kimi ngenhliziyo yabo,
kodwa bahhewula emibhedeni yabo;
babuthana ngenxa yokusahlamvu
newayini elisha,
bangifulathela Mina.
15Mina ngabaqeqesha,
ngaqinisa izandla zabo,
kodwa bangakhela uzungu.
16Babuya, kodwa hhayi koPhezukonke,
babanjengomnsalo oxegayo;
abaholi babo bayakufa ngenkemba
ngenxa yokugxibha kolimi lwabo.
Bayakuba yinhlekisa eGibhithe.”
