1Ekumphiliseni kwam uSirayeli, kusuke kutyhileke ubugwenxa bukaEfrayim nobubi bakwaSamari; kuba besebenza ubuxoki, isela lingene, amatutu abhunyule ngaphandle.

2Abatsho entliziyweni yabo ukuthi ndobukhumbula bonke ububi babo; ngoku zibangqongile iintlondi zabo, zabakho phambi kobuso bam.

3Bamvuyisile ukumkani ngeento zabo ezimbi, nabathetheli ngokuxoka kwabo.

4Bonke bephela bangabakrexezi; banjengeziko lezonka elibaselwe ngumoji-zonka, okha ayeke ukukhwezela, lo gama axovula intlama, ide ifukuke.

5Ngemini yokumkani wethu abathetheli bazixhayele isifo ngobushushu bewayini; uthabathene nabagxeki.

6Ngokuba bayisondeze intliziyo yabo emlaleni wabo, ngathi kusezikweni lezonka; bonke ubusuku ulele umoji-zonka wabo;kusasa lona livutha njengomlilo olenyayo.

7Bonke bephela bashushu njengeziko lezonka, bayabadla abagwebi babo; bonke ookumkani babo bawile; akukho namnye kubo undinqulayo.

8UEfrayim yena uzekazekana nezizwe; uEfrayim uliqebengwana lesonka elingaguqulwanga.

9Abasemzini bawadlile amandla akhe, ukanti yena akazi;nezimvi zithe saa kuye, noko akazi yena.

10Iqhayiya likaSirayeli liyangqina ebusweni bakhe; noko ababuyeli kuYehova uThixo wabo, abamfuni kuko konke oku.

11UEfrayim unjengevukuthu elimathileyo, elingenantliziyo;babiza iYiputa, baya eAsiriya.

12Ndothi, bakubon ukuba bayaya, ndiwutwabulule phezu kwabo umnatha wam, ndibathobe njengeentaka zezulu; ndiya kubathethisa ngokweendaba endazivakalisayo ebandleni labo.

13Yeha ke bona! kuba babalekile kum. Yimbubho kubo! kuba bakreqile kum. Mna ngendibakhulule, basuka bona bathetha amanga ngam.

14Abakhalanga kum ngeentliziyo zabo, basuka bamana bebhomboloza ezililini zabo; baqukana ngenxa yengqolowa newayini entsha, baphambuka, bandichasa.

15Mna ndiziqeqeshile, ndazomeleza, iingalo zabo; ke bona bacinga ububi ngam.

16Bayabuya, kodwa ababuyeli phezulu; banjengesaphetha esityeketyeke. Baya kuwa likrele abathetheli babo, ngenxa yobhavumo lolwimi lwabo. Oko kukugculelwa kwabo ezweni laseYiputa.
