Hoseya 8

Ithole laseSamariya liyochotshozwa

1Faka icilongo emlonyeni wakho. Uyofika njengokhozi ngokumelene nendlu kaJehova, ngoba bephule isivumelwano sami futhi beqa umthetho wami.

2U-Israyeli uyakungibiza ngokuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, siyakwazi wena.

3U-Israyeli walahla okuhle; isitha siyakumxosha.

4Babeka amakhosi, kodwa kungengami; benza izikhulu, mina ngingazi; ngesiliva labo nangegolide labo bazenzele izithombe, ukuze babhujiswe.

5Ithole lakho, Samariya, likwalile; intukuthelo yami iyabavuthela; kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi bathole ubumsulwa?

6Ngokuba nalo liphuma kwa-Israyeli; ngalokho akusiye uNkulunkulu, kepha ithole laseSamariya liyakuchotshozwa.

7Ngokuba bahlwanyele umoya, bavune isivunguvungu; ihlumela ngeke liveze ufulawa; uma kunjalo, abafokazi bayakuwudla.

8U-Israyeli uyadliwa; manje bayoba phakathi kwabeZizwe njengento engenanjabulo.

9Ngoba bakhuphukela e-Asiriya, imbongolo yasendle iyodwa; U-Efrayimi waqasha izithandwa.

10Yebo, nakuba beqashile phakathi kwezizwe, manje ngizobabutha, futhi bayolila kancane ngenxa yomthwalo wenkosi yezikhulu.

11Ngokuba u-Efrayimi wandisa ama-altare ukuba one, ama-altare ayakuba ngezono ngawo.

12Ngamlobela izinto ezinkulu zomthetho wami, kodwa kwathiwa uyisimangaliso.

13Bahlabela inyama yemihlatshelo yami, bayidle; kepha uJehova akabemukeli; manje uyakukhumbula ukona kwabo, ahambele izono zabo; bayakubuyela eGibithe.

14Ngokuba u-Israyeli wamkhohlwa uMenzi wakhe, wakha amathempeli; uJuda uyandise imizi enezivikelo eziqinile, kepha ngiyakuphonsa umlilo emizini yakhe, uqede izindlu zakhe zobukhosi.
