1Xa ndifuna ukumphilisa uSirayeli, batyhileka ububi bukaEfrayim nobubi bakwaSamari; ngokuba bexoka; lingena isela, amatutu aphanga ngaphandle.

2Abatsho entliziyweni yabo ukuthi ndobukhumbula bonke ububi babo; ziphambi kobuso bam.

3Bamvuyisile ukumkani ngeento zabo ezimbi, nabathetheli ngobuxoki babo.

4Bonke bephela bangabakrexezi, njengeziko elibaswa ngumoji-zonka, oyekayo ukunyathela intlama, ide ifukuke.

5Ngemini yokumkani wethu abathetheli bamxhakamfule ngeendebe zewayini; wasolula isandla sakhe kunye nabagculeli.

6Bazilungisa iintliziyo zabo njengombumbi bebukele; umpheki wabo uhlala ubusuku bonke; kusasa uyavutha njengomlilo olenyayo.

7Bonke bephela bavutha njengeziko, batshisa abagwebi babo; bonke ookumkani babo bawa; akukho namnye kubo ondinqulayo.

8uEfrayim uxunelene nabantu; uEfrayim liqebengwana elingaguqukiyo.

9Abasemzini bawadle bawadla amandla akhe, ukanti yena akakwazi oko; Ewe, izimvi zilapha naphaya, kodwa akazi yena.

10Libonakala emehlweni akhe iqhayiya likaSirayeli; akabuyelanga kuYehova uThixo wawo, akamfunanga ngenxa yoko.

11uEfrayim unjengevukuthu elimathileyo, elingenantliziyo; babiza iYiputa, beza eAsiriya.

12Ekuhambeni kwabo ndiya kubabetha; ndiya kubahlisa njengeentaka zezulu; ndiya kubohlwaya ngokwentlanganiso yabo;

13Yeha ke bona! ngokuba babaleka kum, mabafikelwe kukutshabalala ngokuba bandingcatshile; Mna ndibakhulule, basuka bona bathetha ubuxoki ngam.

14Abandinqulanga ngentliziyo yabo, balililela ezililini zabo;

15Nangona ndibabophile ndaza ndatywina izandla zabo, kodwa bacinga ububi ngam.

16Baya kubuya, kungekhona kOsenyangweni; banjengesaphetha esityeketyeke; Baya kuwa likrele abathetheli babo, ngenxa yobulukhuni bolwimi lwabo; ibe yintlekisa kubo ezweni laseYiputa.
