Ukuqala kwelizwi leNkosi ngoHoseya. INkosi yasisithi kuHoseya: Hamba uzithathele umfazi wobuwule, labantwana bobuwule; ngoba ilizwe liyawula kakhulu ngokungayilandeli iNkosi.
3 Ana higeno Hosea'a Diblaimi'e nehaza ne'mofo mofa Goma ara omerigeno, Goma'a amu'ene huno mago ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
Wasehamba wathatha uGomeri indodakazi kaDibilayimi; wasekhulelwa, wamzalela indodana.
4 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Hoseana asamino, Ana mofavremofona Jesrili'e hunka agi'a antemio. Na'ankure Nagra kofta hu'na Jesrili agupofima vahe'ma aheno'ma korama eri tagi'nea zantera, Jehu nagara knazana nezmi'na, Jehu nagapinti'ma kinima mani'za neaza zana eri atregahue.
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguJizereyeli, ngoba kuseseyisikhatshana ngizaphindisela icala legazi leJizereyeli phezu kwendlu kaJehu, ngiwuqede umbuso wendlu kaIsrayeli.
5 Hagi ana knazupa Israeli vahe'mokizmi ati zamia Jesrili agupofi ruhantagi atregahue.
Kuzakuthi ngalolosuku ngephule idandili likaIsrayeli esigodini seJizereyeli.
6 Hagi Goma'a mago'ane amu'ene huno mago mofa kasentegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Hoseana asamino, Mofaka'amofo agia, Lo-Ruhama'e, nasunkura huozmantegahue hunka antemio. Na'ankure Nagra mago'enena Israeli vahera nasunkura huozmante'na kumizmi'a apase ozmantegahue.
Wasebuya ekhulelwa, wazala indodakazi. UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguLo-Ruhama, ngoba kangisayikubuya ngihawukele indlu kaIsrayeli, kodwa ngizabasusa lokubasusa.
7 Hianagi Nagra Juda vahe'mokizmia nasunkura hunezmante'na, zamagu'ma vazinuana atiretiro, bainati kazintetiro, ha'ma hu'zantetiro, hosine, hosi afu agumpima mani'neza ha'ma nehaza vaheteti'enena hu'na zamagura ovazigosuanki, Nagra Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamo'na zamagu'vazigahue.
Kodwa ngizayihawukela indlu yakoJuda, ngibasindise ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo; njalo kangiyikubasindisa ngedandili, loba ngenkemba, loba ngempi, ngamabhiza, kumbe ngabagadi bamabhiza.
8 Hagi Lo-Ruhama'a ome rama huno amima netregeno'a, Goma'a mago'ane amu'ene huno mago ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
Esemlumulile uLo-Ruhama, wakhulelwa, wazala indodana.
9 Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Agi'a Lo-Ami'e, nagri vahera omani'naze hunka antemio. Na'ankure zamagra nagri vahera omani'nage'na, Nagra zamagri Anumzana omanigahue.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Biza ibizo layo uthi nguLo-Ami; ngoba kalisibo abantu bami, ngakho mina kangisuye owenu.
10 Ana hugahianagi henka'a Israeli vahe'mo'za hageri anke'nafi kahepankna hu'za rama'a vahe fore hanageno, vahe'mo'a hamprigara osugahie. Ana hanigeno, Nagri vahera omani'naze huno'ma hu'nea kerera, ete rukrahe hu'za Agra kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofo mofavrerami mani'naze hu'za hugahaze.
Kube kanti inani labantwana bakoIsrayeli lizakuba ngangetshebetshebe lolwandle elingeke lilinganiswe elingeke libalwe. Njalo kuzakuthi, endaweni yokuthi kuthiwe kubo: Kalisibo abantu bami; kuzakuthiwa kubo: Lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
11 Ana hanigeno Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'mo'zanena eri mago hu'za mago vahe nemaniza, magoke kva ne' azeri otite'za, ana mopafintira atre'za marerigahaze. Na'ankure Jesrili mopafina rankna fore hugahie.
Ngakho abantwana bakoJuda labantwana bakoIsrayeli bazabuthaniswa ndawonye, bazimisele inhloko eyodwa, benyuke baphume elizweni. Ngoba luzakuba lukhulu usuku lweJizereyeli.
