1U-Efrayimi uyadla umoya, ulandela umoya wasempumalanga; uyandisa imihla yonke amanga nencithakalo; benza isivumelwano ne-Asiriya, namafutha ayiswa eGibithe.

2UJehova unokuphikisana noJuda futhi; uyakuhambela uJakobe ngenxa yezindlela zakhe, ambuyisele ngokwezenzo zakhe.

3Esiswini wabamba umfowabo ngesithende, nasebudodeni bakhe walwa noNkulunkulu;

4walwa nengelosi, wanqoba; wakhala, wanxusa kuyo; yamfumana eBethele, yakhuluma naye lapho.

5NguJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, nguJehova igama lakhe lodumo.

6Ngalokho buyela wena kuNkulunkulu wakho, ugcine umusa nokulunga, ulindele uNkulunkulu wakho njalonjalo.

7IKhanani linesilinganiso esikhohlisayo esandleni salo, lithanda ukukhahlameza.

8U-Efrayimi uthi: “Impela ngicebile, ngithole imfuyo; kukho konke ukuzuza kwami abayikufumana bubi obuyisono.”

9“Kepha mina nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kwasezweni laseGibithe; ngisezakukuhlalisa ematendeni njengasezinsukwini zemikhosi emisiweyo.

10Ngikhulumile kubaprofethi, ngandisile imibono, ngifanekisile ngesandla sabaprofethi.”

11Uma iGileyadi linobubi, impela bayakuba ngabachithiwe; uma behlabela izinkunzi eGiligali, ama-altare abo ayakuba njengezinqwaba ngasemiseleni yamasimu.

12UJakobe wabalekela ezweni lase-Aramu, u-Israyeli wakhonzela umfazi, walusa umhlambi ngenxa yomfazi.

13UJehova wakhuphula u-Israyeli eGibithe ngomprofethi, wagcinwa ngomprofethi.

14U-Efrayimi ucunulile ngokubabisayo; icala lakhe legazi liyakuphonswa phezu kwakhe; iNkosi yakhe ibuyisele kuye ihlazo lakhe.
