Hoseya 13

1Lapho u-Efrayimi ekhuluma ngokuthuthumela, waphakama kwa-Israyeli; kodwa lapho ona ngoBhali, wafa.

2Manje banezela ukona, bazenzela izithombe ezibunjiwe ngesiliva labo nezithombe njengokuqonda kwabo, konke lokhu kungumsebenzi wezingcweti; bathi ngazo: Abahlabayo mabanga amathole.

3Ngakho bayakuba njengefu lokusa, nanjengamazolo asekuseni adlula, namakhoba apheshulwa esibuyeni, nanjengomusi ophuma kushimula.

4Kepha mina nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kwasezweni laseGibithe, awazi nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, ngokuba akakho umsindisi ngaphandle kwami.

5Ngakwazi ehlane, ezweni elomileyo.

6Basutha ngokwamadlelo abo; bayasutha, nenhliziyo yabo iziphakamisile; ngalokho bangikhohlwa Mina.

7Ngakho ngizakuba njengengonyama kubo; njengengwe endleleni ngiyakubabona;

8Ngiyakuhlangana nabo njengebhere eliphucwe amawundlu alo, ngiklebhule ikhanda lenhliziyo yabo, ngibadle khona njengengonyama, isilo sasendle sibadwebe.

9O Israyeli, uzichithile; kodwa kimi kukhona usizo lwakho.

10Mina ngizakuba yinkosi yenu; uphi omunye ongakusindisa emizini yakho yonke na? nabahluleli bakho owasho ngabo ukuthi: ‘Nginike inkosi nezikhulu;

11Ngakunika inkosi ngolaka lwami, ngayisusa ngolaka lwami.

12Ububi buka-Efrayimi buboshiwe; isono sakhe sifihliwe.

13Izinhlungu zokubeletha ziyakumfica; uyindodana eyisiwula; ngoba akufanele ahlale isikhathi eside endaweni yokugqashuka kwabantwana.

14Ngizabahlenga emandleni eHayidese; ngiyakubakhulula ekufeni; Kufa, ngizakuba yinhlupho yakho;

15Noma ethela phakathi kwabafowabo, kuyofika umoya wasempumalanga, umoya kaJehova ukhuphuke uvela ehlane, nomthombo wakhe wome, nomthombo wakhe wome; Uyophanga ingcebo yazo zonke izinto ezithandekayo.

16ISamariya liyosala lishiyiwe; ngoba liyahlubuka kuNkulunkulu walo; bayakuwa ngenkemba; izinsana zabo ziyochotshozwa, futhi abesifazane babo abakhulelwe bayoklebhulwa.
