1USomnini uthi: “Lokha u-Israyeli asesemntwana ngamthanda, godu indodanami ngayibiza ngayenyula eGibhide.

2Kodwana lokha aboBhali nabababizako bangifulathela, benzela aboBhali imihlabelo, batjhisela neenthombe ezibaziweko itjhwalo.

3Ngimi owafundisa u-Efrayimu ukutataya, ngambamba ngomkhono. Kodwana akhange bathande ukwazi bona ngimi owabahlengako.

4Ngababophela ngomutja womusa nethando. Ngasusa ijogi eentanyeni zabo begodu ngehlela kibo bona ngibondle.

5Bengingafuni bonyana babuyele enarheni yeGibhide, nokuthi i-Asiriya ibuse phezu kwabo. Kodwana bala ukuphenduka.

6Ngebangelo-ke zizokubenya emadorobhenabo, iinqabo zamasangwabo zipheliswe namaqhingabo atjhabalaliswe.

7Abantu bami bazakuhlonywa esigodweni ngombana bangifulathele. Abanye bazakuthwala ijogi lobukhoboka -- ijogi elingasoze lasuswa.

8“Ngizokuliselela njani, wena Efrayimu? Ngikulahleleni, wena Israyeli? Ngizokuphatha njani njenge-Adima? Ngikwenze njani ufane neTseboyimu? Ihliziywami ingiphendukele, isirhawu sami siyavutha.

9Angisazokuragela phambili nobukhali bami obesabekako no-Efrayimu angisoze ngisambhubhisa ngombana nginguZimu mina, angifani nomuntu. NgingoCwengileko phakathi kwenu. Angizokuza ngobukhali.”

10Bazakulandela uSomnini; abhodle njengengwenyama. Iye, lokha nabhodlako abantwabakhe bazakuza, bathuthumela bavela etjingalanga.

11Bazakuza bathuthumela njengeenyoni zivela eGibhide, nanjengamazuba avela enarheni ye-Asiriya. “Ngizabahlalisa eendlini zabo.” Kutjho uSomnini.

12USomnini uthi: “U-Efrayimu ungiphara ngamanga koke nje; indlu ka-Israyeli ingininda ngekohliso. UJuda akanaqiniso phambi koZimu, iye, ngitjho nakoCwengileko ongothembekileko.
