uHoseya: ukumkani wakwaSirayeli
1Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini ka-Ahazi ukumkani wakwaYuda, uHoseya, unyana kaEla, waba ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli eSamariya, iminyaka yasibhozo yedwa. 2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, kodwa kungekhona njengookumkani bakwaSirayeli ababengaphambi kwakhe. 3uShalemanesere ukumkani waseAsiriya walwa naye; uHoseya waba ngumkhonzi wakhe, wampha izipho. 4Yaye ukumkani waseAsiriya wabona icebo lesiphithiphithi kuHoseya, ngenxa yokuba wathumela abathunywa kukumkani waseYiputa yaye akazange azise isipho kukumkani waseAsiriya njengoko wayesenza minyaka le; ke ngoko, ukumkani waseAsiriya wamvalela entolongweni, waza wamkhonkxa entolongweni. 5Ukumkani waseAsiriya walityhutyha lonke ilizwe, wayihlasela iSamari, wayingqinga iminyaka emithathu. 6Ngonyaka wesithoba kaHoseya, ukumkani waseAsiriya wayithimba iSamariya waza wathimba oonyana bakaSirayeli wabasa eAsiriya, wababeka eHala naseHabhore entlanjeni yomlambo waseGoshan nakwizixeko zamaMedi. 7Ngokuba oonyana bakaSirayeli bonayo kuYehova uThixo wabo, owabakhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa ngesandla sikaFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, boyika thixo bambi; 8Waqhubeka ehamba ngokwemiyalelo emiselweyo yeentlanga ezo uYehova wazigxothayo phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli nangokwemithetho yookumkani bakwaSirayeli ababeyenzile. 9Oonyana bakaSirayeli benza ngasese izinto ezingafanelekanga kuYehova uThixo wabo, baza bazakhela iindawo eziphakamileyo kuzo zonke izixeko zabo, ukususela kwinqaba yokulinda ukusa kwisixeko esibiyelwe ngodonga. 10Bamisa imifanekiso neziqu zemithi engcwele kuzo zonke iinduli eziphakamileyo naphantsi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza. 11Baqhumisa umsi ezigangeni zonke, njengoko zenjenjalo iintlanga awazikhokelayo uYehova phambi kwabo; yaye benza izinto ezimbi ukuze bamcaphukise uYehova. 12Kuba bakhonza izithixo, awayethe uYehova kubo: Ize ningakwenzi oko. 13Waqononondisa uYehova kuSirayeli nakwaYuda, ngabaprofeti bonke nangemibono yonke, wathi, Buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, niyigcine imithetho yam nemithetho yam, ngokomyalelo wonke endawumisela ooyihlo, endawumiselayo kuni. Ndithunywe kuni ngabakhonzi bam, abaprofeti. 14Abaphulaphula, bazenza lukhuni iintamo zooyise abangakholwanga kuYehova uThixo wabo. 15Bayigatya imithetho yakhe nomnqophiso awawenzayo nookhokho babo, nobungqina bakhe awayebungqinele kubo; balandela ilize, aba nto, balandela iintlanga ezibangqongileyo, awabawiselayo umthetho uYehova ukuba bangenzi. 16Bayishiya yonke imiyalelo kaYehova uThixo wabo baza bazenzela imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, amathole amabini eenkomo baza benza netyholo baqubuda kuzo zonke izidalwa zasezulwini baza bakhonza uBhahali. 17Batshisa oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni, bekhafula, nangokukhafula, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ukuba bamqumbise. 18uYehova wavutha kunene ngumsindo ngakumaSirayeli, wawasusa ebusweni bakhe; akusekho bani, sisizwe sakwaYuda sodwa. 19KwanamaYuda akazange ayigcine imiyalelo kaYehova uThixo wawo, kodwa aqhubeka elandela imiyalelo emiselweyo kaSirayeli awayeyenzile. 20Wayilahla ke uYehova yonke indlu kaSirayeli, wabacudisa, wabanikela esandleni sabatshabalalisa, wada wabasusa ebusweni bakhe. 21Ngokuba wawakrazula amaSirayeli endlwini kaDavide; bamenza ukumkani uYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati; uYarobheham wawagxotha amaSirayeli ekumlandeleni uYehova, wawonisa ngesono esikhulu. 22Bahamba oonyana bakaSirayeli ezonweni zonke zikaYarobheham, awazenzayo; abazange baphambuke; 23wada uYehova wamsusa amaSirayeli kuye, njengoko wakuthethayo ngabakhonzi bakhe bonke, abaprofeti. Bafuduselwa ke oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni labo, basiwa eAsiriya unanamhla. 24Wandula ke ukumkani waseAsiriya wazisa amadoda avela eBhabhiloni naseKuta naseAwa naseHamati naseSefarvayim waza wawabeka kwizixeko zaseSamariya endaweni yoonyana bakaSirayeli; bayithimba iSamariya baza bahlala kuyo izixeko ezikhoyo. 25Kwathi ekuhlaleni kwabo khona abamoyika uYehova; uYehova wathumela iingonyama phakathi kwabo, zababulala abanye kubo. 26Bathetha ngoko kukumkani waseAsiriya, bathi, Izizwe owazigqogqayo, wazinikela ukuba zime emizini yakwaSamari, zona aziyazi indlela yoThixo welo lizwe ke ngoko, wathumela iingonyama phakathi kwabo, zababulala, ngenxa yokuba bengayazi indlela yoThixo wehlabathi. 27Wawisa umthetho ukumkani waseAsiriya wathi, Thabatha abe mnye kubabingeleli enabakhuphayo khona; mabahambe, bahlale khona, babafundise indlela yoThixo wehlabathi. 28Weza omnye wababingeleli, ababebafudusile kwaSamari, wahlala eBheteli, wabafundisa ukumoyika uYehova. 29Luhlanga lwazenzela olwalo uthixo, lwaza lwambeka ezindlwini zezindlu eziphakamileyo, ezo abezakhiwe ngamaSamariya, uhlanga ngohlanga emizini yalo, apho beluhlala khona. 30Amadoda aseBhabheli enza iSukoti-bhenoti, amadoda aseKuti enza uNergali, amadoda aseHamati enza uAshima. 31IiAve zenza uNibhas noTartake, yaye amaFarvayim atshisa oonyana bawo emlilweni ngenxa ka-Adrameleki noAnameleki, oothixo baseSefarvayim. 32Bayamoyika uYehova, babamisele ababingeleli abakhulu abaphuma phantsi kwabo, babaqhumisele ezindlwini eziphakamileyo. 33uYehova ayemoyika, oothixo bawo ebakhonza njengeentlanga ababefuduse kuzo. 34Unanamhla asaqhubeka esenza ngokwezithethe zawo, akamhloneli uYehova, angenzi ngokwemithetho yawo, namasiko awo, nomthetho nomthetho, abewise umthetho ngawo uYehova koonyana bakaYakobi, ababewuwisela umthetho lowo wambiza ngokuba nguSirayeli. 35uYehova wenza umnqophiso nabo, wabawisela umthetho, wathi, Ize ningaboyiki thixo bambi, ningabakhonzi, ningabakhonzi, ningabingeleli kubo. 36Ke yena uYehova, owanikhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa ngamandla amakhulu, nangesandla esolukileyo, yena yedwa eniya kumoyika, nithandaze kuye, nibingelele kuye; 37Imithetho nezigwebo nomyalelo nomyalelo anibhalele wona, niwenze ngenyameko kude kuse ephakadeni; nize ningaboyiki thixo bambi; 38umnqophiso endawenza nani, ize ningawulibali; ningaboyiki thixo bambi. 39Kodwa moyike uYehova uThixo wakho; anisindise esandleni seentshaba zenu zonke. 40Kodwa abaphulaphulanga kubo, benza njengangaphambili. 41Ezi ntlanga zazimoyika uYehova, zikhonza nemifanekiso yazo eqingqiweyo, oonyana bazo noonyana boonyana bazo; njengoko benza ngako ooyise, baseyenza nanamhla.
