Hoseya 4
Izwe liyolila
1Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina bantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba uJehova unokuphikisana nabakhileyo ezweni, ngokuba akukho qiniso, akukho umusa, akukho kwazi uNkulunkulu ezweni.
2Ngokuthuka, nokuqamba amanga, nokubulala, nokweba, nokuphinga, bayafohla, igazi lithinta igazi.
3Ngalokho izwe liyakukhala, bonke abakhileyo kulo badangale, nezilwane zasendle nezinyoni zezulu; yebo, ngisho nezinhlanzi zolwandle ziyosuswa.
4Kodwa kakungabi lamuntu ophikisayo kumbe okhuza omunye, ngoba abantu bakini banjengalabo abaphikisana lomphristi.
5Ngalokho uyakuwa emini, nomprofethi awe kanye nawe ebusuku, ngichithe unyoko.
6Abantu bami babhubha ngokuswela ukwazi; ngokuba ukulahlile ukwazi, nami ngiyakukulahla, ungabi ngumpristi wami; ngoba ukhohliwe umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakho, lami ngizakhohlwa abantwana bakho.
7Njengoba banda, kanjalo bona kimi; ngalokho ngiyakuphendula udumo lwabo lube yihlazo.
8Badla isono sabantu bami, babeka inhliziyo yabo ebubini babo.
9Futhi njengabantu kuyakuba khona njengabapristi, futhi ngiyobahambela ngenxa yezindlela zabo futhi ngibuyisele kubo izenzo zabo.
10Ngokuba bayakudla, bangasuthi; bayofeba, bangande, ngokuba bayekile ukumlalela uJehova.
11Ubufebe newayini newayini elisha kususa inhliziyo.
12Abantu bami babuza enqoleni yabo, udondolo lwabo luyabatshela, ngokuba umoya wobufebe ubadukisile, baphingile phansi kukaNkulunkulu wabo.
13Bahlabela eziqongweni zezintaba, benyusa impepho emagqumeni, phansi kwama-oki, nemipopulari, nemifembe, ngokuba umthunzi wawo muhle; ngalokho amadodakazi enu ayaphinga, nabayeni benu bayaphinga.
14Angiyikuhambela amadodakazi enu, uma efeba, nabafelokazi benu, uma bephinga; ngoba bahlukene nezifebe, bahlabela nezifebe; ngakho-ke abantu abangaqondi bayakuwa.
15Noma ufeba, Israyeli, uJuda makangakhubeki; ningezi eGiligali, ningakhuphukeli eBeti Aveni, ningafungi: Kuphila kukaJehova!
16Ngokuba u-Israyeli uwile njengethokazi elinhlanhlathayo; manje uJehova uyakuzalusa njengewundlu endaweni ebanzi.
17U-Efrayimi uhlangene nezithombe; makasukume.
18Isiphuzo sabo simuncu; baphinga njalo; abaphathi bakhe bathanda ngamahloni, bakunike.
19Umoya umbophile ngamaphiko akhe, futhi bayoba namahloni ngemihlatshelo yabo.
