← Chapter 11 Jump to: Chapter 13 →

1Efrayimu utondla ngemoya, ucoshana nemoya wasemphumalanga lonkhe lilanga, wandzise emanga nebudlova. Wakha sivumelwane ne-Asiriya, atfumele emafutsa emncumo eGibhithe.

2Simakadze ubeka Juda licala, utawujezisa Jakobe njengekwetindlela takhe, amkhokhele ngangekwemisebenti yakhe.

3Esiswini wabamba sitsendze semnakabo; asangumuntfu lomdzala walwa naNkulunkulu.

4Walwa nengilosi, wayehlula. Wakhala ancenga sibusiso sakhe, wakhandzana naye eBetheli, wakhuluma naye khona lapho,

5Simakadze Nkulunkulu longuSomandla, nguSimakadze Libito lakhe ladvume ngalo.

6Kodvwa wena kufanele ubuyele kuNkulunkulu wakho, umtsandze, ulalele imitsetfo yakhe, wente intsandvo yakhe, ulindzele Nkulunkulu wakho ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi.

7Umhwebi usebentisa tikalo letingaketsembeki; uyakutsandza kukhwabanisa timali.

8Efrayimu uyatigabatisa, utsi: “Nginjinge kakhulu; senginemfuyo lenyenti. Ngalobunjinga bami bonkhe bangeke bakutfole lokubi nome sono kimi.”

9“Mine nginguSimakadze Nkulunkulu wakho, lowakukhipha eGibhithe; ngiyawuphindze ngikwente uhlale emathendeni, njengasetikhatsini temadzili akho lemisiwe.

10Ngakhuluma kubaphrofethi, ngabanika imibono leminyenti, ngakhuluma imifanekiso ngabo.”

11Gileyadi ukhohlakele yini? Bantfu bakhe akusibantfu balutfo! Bayayenta imihlatjelo yetinkunzi eGilgali, ngako-ke emalati abo ayawufanana netincumbi tematje lasensimini lelinyiwe.

12Jakobe wabalekela eveni lase-Aramu; Israyeli wasebentela kutfola umfati, ngekwelusa timvu.

13Simakadze wasebentisa umphrofethi kuze abuyise Israyeli amkhiphe eGibhithe, wamnakekela ngesandla semphrofethi.

14Kodvwa Efrayimu sewucunule Simakadze kakhulu, wadzimate watfukutsela; Simakadze wakhe uyawumetfwesa licala lakhe lekucitsa ingati, amkhokhise ngaloko kumhlazisa kwakhe.
