Hosea 13
1 like/as to speak: speak Ephraim trembling to lift: exalt he/she/it in/on/with Israel and be guilty in/on/with Baal and to die
Lapho u-Efrayimi ekhuluma, abantu bathuthumela; wabatshazwa ko-Israyeli. Kodwa waba lecala lokukhonza uBhali wasesifa.
2 and now to add to/for to sin and to make to/for them liquid from silver: money their like/as understanding their idol deed: work artificer all his to/for them they(masc.) to say to sacrifice man calf to kiss [emph?]
Khathesi benza izono njalonjalo; bazenzela izithombe ngesiliva sabo, izifanekiso ezenziwe ngokuhlakanipha, zonke ziyimisebenzi yezingcitshi. Ngabantu laba kuthiwa, “Banikela imihlatshelo yabantu, bange izithombe zamathole.”
3 to/for so to be like/as cloud morning and like/as dew to rise to go: went like/as chaff to rage from threshing floor and like/as smoke from window
Ngakho bazakuba njengenkungu yekuseni, njengamazolo ekuseni anyamalalayo, njengamakhoba asuka ezizeni, njengentuthu iphuma ewindini.
4 and I LORD God your from land: country/planet Egypt and God exception me not to know and to save nothing lest me
“Kodwa mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe. Kaliyikwamukela omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, hatshi omunye uMsindisi ngaphandle kwami.
5 I to know you in/on/with wilderness in/on/with land: country/planet drought
Ngalilondoloza enkangala, elizweni elilokutshisa okuvuthayo.
6 like/as pasturing their and to satisfy to satisfy and to exalt heart their upon so to forget me
Lapho ngibapha ukudla, basutha; sebesuthi, basuka bazigqaja; basebengikhohlwa.
7 and to be to/for them like lion like/as leopard upon way: journey to see
Ngizakwehlela phezu kwabo njengesilwane, ngizacathama ngasendleleni njengengwe.
8 to meet them like/as bear childless and to tear enclosure heart their and to eat them there like/as lion living thing [the] land: wildlife to break up/open them
Njengebhele elithathelwe imidlwane yalo ngizabahlasela ngibaqhaqhe. Ngizabadla njengesilwane, inyamazana yeganga izabadabula.
9 to ruin you Israel for in/on/with me in/on/with helper your
Uchithiwe, wena Israyeli, ngoba umelane lami, umelane lomsizi wakho.
10 where? king your then and to save you in/on/with all city your and to judge you which to say to give: give [emph?] to/for me king and ruler
Ingaphi inkosi yakho, ukuba ikusize na? Bangaphi ababusi bakho kuwo wonke amadolobho akho, bona owathi ngabo, ‘Ngipha inkosi lababusi’?
11 to give: give to/for you king in/on/with face: anger my and to take: take in/on/with fury my
Ngakho ngakunika inkosi ngithukuthele, njalo ngolaka lwami ngayisusa.
12 to constrain iniquity: crime Ephraim to treasure sin his
Icala lika-Efrayimi ligciniwe, izono zakhe zigcinwe emibhalweni.
13 pain to beget to come (in): come to/for him he/she/it son: child not wise for time not to stand: stand in/on/with birth son: child
Ufikelwa yibuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ehelelwa, kodwa ungumntwana ongelalwazi; lapho isikhathi sifika, kabuyi ekuvulekeni kwesizalo.
14 from hand: power hell: Sheol to ransom them from death to redeem: redeem them where? pestilence your death where? destruction your hell: Sheol repentance to hide from eye my (Sheol h7585)
Ngizabahlenga emandleni engcwaba; ngizabasindisa ekufeni. Zingaphi, we kufa izifo zakho? Kungaphi, we ngcwaba, ukuchitha kwakho? Kangiyikuba lesihawu, (Sheol h7585)
15 for he/she/it son: descendant/people brother: male-sibling be fruitful to come (in): come east spirit: breath LORD from wilderness to ascend: rise and to wither fountain his and to dry spring his he/she/it to plunder treasure all article/utensil desire
lanxa ekhula phakathi kwabafowabo. Umoya wasempumalanga ovela kuThixo uzafika, uphephetha uvela enkangala; intwasa yakhe izakwehluleka, lemithombo yakhe itshe. Indlu yakhe yokugcinela izaphangwa yonke ingcebo yayo.
16 be guilty Samaria for to rebel in/on/with God her in/on/with sword to fall: kill infant their to dash in pieces and pregnant his to break up/open
Abantu baseSamariya kuzamela balithwale icala labo, ngoba bamhlamukele uNkulunkulu wabo. Bazabulawa ngenkemba; insane zabo zizasakazelwa phansi, abesifazane babo abazithweleyo baqhaqhwe.”
