< Hosea 13 >
1 Hagi kora Efraemi naga'mozama kema hazage'za vahe'mo'za koro huza zmahirahiku nehazageno, Israeli vahepina zamagimo'a mareri'ne. Hianagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za Bali havi anumzante monora hunte'za kumira hu'nazagu fri'naze.
Lapho u-Efrayimi ekhuluma, abantu bathuthumela; wabatshazwa ko-Israyeli. Kodwa waba lecala lokukhonza uBhali wasesifa.
2 Hagi meninena Israeli vahe'mo'za mago'ane kumira huvava hu'za nevu'za, kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'a silvareti tro hunte'naze. Ana nehu'za ana zantera Kresramanama vunenteta agira antako hunteho hu'za nehaze.
Khathesi benza izono njalonjalo; bazenzela izithombe ngesiliva sabo, izifanekiso ezenziwe ngokuhlakanipha, zonke ziyimisebenzi yezingcitshi. Ngabantu laba kuthiwa, “Banikela imihlatshelo yabantu, bange izithombe zamathole.”
3 E'ina hu'nagu zamagra nantera hampomo fanane hiankna nehu'za, nantera zage rentegeno ata'mo fanane hiankna ana vahe'mo'za hugahaze. Ana nehu'za witi honama hare kumapinti zahomo witi hona eri hareno viankna nehu'za, tokima mareri kampinti teve tokimo atiramino ome vagareankna nehaze.
Ngakho bazakuba njengenkungu yekuseni, njengamazolo ekuseni anyamalalayo, njengamakhoba asuka ezizeni, njengentuthu iphuma ewindini.
4 Hianagi Nagra tamagri Anumzamo'na Isipitira tamavre'na e'noa Anumza mani'noe. Hagi tamagra ru anumzamofo agia ahentesga osiho. Na'ankure tamagu'ma vazi Anumzana magora omani'neanki, Nagrake'za mani'noe.
“Kodwa mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe. Kaliyikwamukela omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, hatshi omunye uMsindisi ngaphandle kwami.
5 Hagi hagege huno tima omane ka'ma kopina, Nagra kegava huramante'noe.
Ngalilondoloza enkangala, elizweni elilokutshisa okuvuthayo.
6 Hianagi Nagra ne'zana tamugeta neramu'ma nehuta, tamagra tamavufga erisaga nehuta, Nagrira tamage kaninante'naze.
Lapho ngibapha ukudla, basutha; sebesuthi, basuka bazigqaja; basebengikhohlwa.
7 E'ina hu'negu Nagra laionimo zagagafa aheaza hu'na neramahe'na, lepatimo karanka frakineno zagagafa aheno tagana vaziankna hugahue.
Ngizakwehlela phezu kwabo njengesilwane, ngizacathama ngasendleleni njengengwe.
8 Hagi Nagra a' beamo'ma anenta'a avre'nageno ha'hiankna hu'na zamahe'na zamimiza eri tapage hunetrena, laionimo zagagafa aheno neankna nehu'na, afi zagamo zagagafa aheno tagana vazinkna hu'na zamahena tagna taganu vazitregahue.
Njengebhele elithathelwe imidlwane yalo ngizabahlasela ngibaqhaqhe. Ngizabadla njengesilwane, inyamazana yeganga izabadabula.
9 Hagi Israeli vahe'mota tamagra havizantfa hugahaze. Na'ankure tamagra tamazama nehua Anumzamo'na ha' renante'naze.
Uchithiwe, wena Israyeli, ngoba umelane lami, umelane lomsizi wakho.
10 Hagi ranra kumatamifinti'ma tamagu'ma vazinia kini vahetamia iga mani'naze? Hagi kini vahe'ene kva vahetaminema tamio huta hu'naza kini vahe'tamine kva vahetaminena iga mani'naze?
Ingaphi inkosi yakho, ukuba ikusize na? Bangaphi ababusi bakho kuwo wonke amadolobho akho, bona owathi ngabo, ‘Ngipha inkosi lababusi’?
11 Anagema hazage'na narimpa aheneramante'na, kini vahera tamamite'na ete tusi narimpa ahe neramante'na, ana kini vahera zamavare atre'noe.
Ngakho ngakunika inkosi ngithukuthele, njalo ngolaka lwami ngayisusa.
12 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mokizmi kefo avu'ava zana kona anakintegeno me'negeno, kumizmia avompi krentegeno me'ne.
Icala lika-Efrayimi ligciniwe, izono zakhe zigcinwe emibhalweni.
13 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za anemo'zama mofavre antenaku'ma nehazageno nehiankna zamata erigahazanagi, ana mofavrea knare antahiza omane mofavre kasenteankna hugahaze. Hagi mofavrema kasente knarera, ana mofavremo'a nerera arimpafintira atioramigahie.
Ufikelwa yibuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ehelelwa, kodwa ungumntwana ongelalwazi; lapho isikhathi sifika, kabuyi ekuvulekeni kwesizalo.
14 Hagi Nagra fri vahe kumapintira (Seol) ete ozamavaregahufi? Hagi fri'zamofo hanavefintira ozmavregahufi? Hagi nagra ama ana vahekura nasunkura osugahue. (Sheol )
Ngizabahlenga emandleni engcwaba; ngizabasindisa ekufeni. Zingaphi, we kufa izifo zakho? Kungaphi, we ngcwaba, ukuchitha kwakho? Kangiyikuba lesihawu, (Sheol )
15 Hagi miko kafuhe'i amunompina Efraemiga knare'za hunka nehagenka tretre hunka mareri'nane. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a zage hanati kazigati zahora hunte'nigeno hagege kokampina zahora erino ne-eno, tinkeria eri neraneno, neonse tinena eri hagege nehuno, maka mareri zago fenozana emeri vagareno vugahie.
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 Hagi Sameria vahe'mo'za kumi'ma hu'nazarera knazana erigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Anumzamo'na ha'renante nazankino, kazinteti zamahe vaganere'za neone mofavreramina zamahe'za rutraga hunetre'za, amu'ene aneramina zamahe'za zamarimpa reraragu fegahaze.
Abantu baseSamariya kuzamela balithwale icala labo, ngoba bamhlamukele uNkulunkulu wabo. Bazabulawa ngenkemba; insane zabo zizasakazelwa phansi, abesifazane babo abazithweleyo baqhaqhwe.”
