Hosea 4

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki Israeli vahe'mota antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno ama mopafima mani'naza vahera keaga huramanteanki antahiho, Tamagra avariri fatgo nosuta, avesi ante'zana omanegeno, Anumzamofoma keno antahino'ma hu'zana ama mopafina omanene.

Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lina bako-Israyeli ngoba kulecala uThixo alethesa lina elihlala elizweni: “Akulakwethembeka, akulathando, akukho ukumamukela uNkulunkulu elizweni.

2 Hagi tamagripina vahe'ma sifna hunte'zanki, havigema huzanki, hazenkezmi omane vahe zamahe fri'zanki, kumzafa zane, monko avu'avazane, mika kaziga ha' frama hu'zane, vahe'ma aheno korama eri tagi'zamo avite'ne.

Kulokuthuka kuphela, lokuqamba amanga lokubulala, lokuntshontsha kanye lobufebe; benza ububi bonke, njalo ukuchithwa kwegazi kulandela ukuchithwa kwegazi.

3 E'i ana agafare mopatamifina zavi krafagemo'a avitegeno, mopafina tina omaneno hagege nehigeno, monafima hare'za vano nehaza namaramine, hagerimpi nozameramine, afi' zagagafamozanena fri vagare'naze.

Ilizwe liyalila ngenxa yalokhu, njalo bonke abahlala kulo bayacikizeka; izinyamazana zeganga lezinyoni zasemoyeni kanye lenhlanzi zasolwandle kuyafa.

4 Hagi mago vahe'mo'a mago vahekura huno kagri hazenke me'ne huno osino. Na'ankure ama hazenkea pristi vahe'mota eri fore hu'nagu keaga huneramantoe.

Kodwa akungabi lamuntu omangalayo, akungabi lomuntu owethesa omunye icala ngoba abantu bakho bafana lalabo abamangalela umphristi.

5 Hu'negu tamagra zage ferupina tanafa huta nemasesage'za, havige kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena hanimpina tanafa hugahaze. Hagi anta'tamimofo Israelina azeri haviza hugahue.

Liyakhubeka emini lebusuku, labaphrofethi bakhubeka kanye lani. Ngakho unyoko ngizamchitha,

6 Hagi vahe'nima zamazeri havizama hanuana, na'ankure Nagrira nage'za antahiza zamagra osu'nazagu anara hugahue. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'za Nagrira nagenira osu'nagu, zamagri'enena antahi nozamue. Hagi tamagra Nagri kasegea tamagekanizagu, tamagrira tamagekani neramante'na mofavretamia asomura huozmantegahue.

abantu bami bachithwa yikungabi lolwazi. Njengoba likwalile ukwazi, lami ngiyalala njengabaphristi bami; ngoba kaliwunakanga umthetho kaNkulunkulu wenu, lami angiyikubanaka abantwana benu.

7 Hagi rama'a pristi vahe'ma fore'ma nehu'za, rama'a kumi hu'naze. Hagi ra zamagima eneriza zana zamazeri zamagaze hugahue.

Ngokwanda kwabaphristi, kwanda kanjalo lokona kwabo kimi, benanisa uDumo lwabo ngento elihlazo.

8 Hagi vahe'mo'zama kumizmire'ma ofama hunaku'ma eri'za aza ofa pristi vahe'mo'za ne'naze. E'ina hu'negu vahe'mo'zama kumima nehazage'za, pristi vahe'mo'za rama'a muse nehaze.

Badla izono zabantu bami bajabuliswe yikuxhwala kwabo.

9 Hagi nazano pristi vahe'mo'zama haza zamavu zamavara vahe'mo'zanena ana zamavu zamava avaririza kefo zamavu zamavara nehaze. Ana hu'nazagu pristi vahe'ene amne vahe'enena ana zamavu'zmava hu'naza zante zamazeri haviza hugahue.

Njalo kuzakuba kanje: Njengabantu, njengabaphristi. Bonke ngizabajezisela izindlela zabo, ngiphindisele kubo lezenzo zabo.

10 Hagi rama'a ne'zana negahazanagi, zamura osugahie. Hagi savri monko avu'ava zana hugahazanagi, mofavrea kase hakarea osugahaze. Na'ankure tamagra Nagrira Ra Anumzana natreta ru anumzamofo amage ante'nazagu anara hugahaze.

Bazakudla kodwa bangasuthi; bazakwenza ubufebe kodwa bangandi, ngoba bamdelile uThixo ukuba bazinikele

11 Hagi waini tine, kasefa waini tine, savri monko avu'ava'ma hu'zamo, antahi ama'ma hu'zana Nagri vahepintira eri netre.

ebufebeni, lewayini elidala kanye lelitsha elisusa ukuqedisisa kwabantu bami.

12 Hagi Nagri vahe'mo'za zafare'ma kaza osu havi anumzama antre'za tro hunte'naza havi anumzane, rampa zante'ma tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzana antahinegaze. Hagi zamagra savri monko avu'avazama hazazamo zamazeri havia hige'za zamagra Anumzamofontera mani fatgo hu'za nomaniza monora huonte'naze.

Badinga izeluleko esithombeni sesigodo baphendulwe yiluthi lwesigodo. Umoya wobufebe uyabedukisa; kabathembekanga kuNkulunkulu wabo.

13 Hagi zamagra agonaramimpi mareriza kaza osu havi anumzantera kresramana vunentaze. Hagi knare tona'ma hu'nea oki zafane, popra zafane, terebinti zafa agafafi kre manavu ofa hunte'naze. E'ina agafare mofa'netamimo'za ana zanke hu'za monkote hu'za vano nehazageno, tamanoferehe'za ana zanke hu'za savri hu'za monkote vano nehaze.

Banikela imihlatshelo ezingqongweni zezintaba batshise iminikelo phezu kwamaqaqa, ngaphansi komʼokhi, lomphophila kanye lomtherebhinti, lapho okulomthunzi omnandi. Ngakho amadodakazi enu enza ubuwule, labomalukazana benu benze ubufebe.

14 Hianagi monkozama hu'za vanoma nehaza mofa'netamine, tamanoferehe'inena Nagra knazana zami'na zamazeri havizana osugahue. Na'ankure tamagra vene'nemotanena ana zanke huta zagore'ma monkoza nehaza a'nanene monkozana ome nehuta, havi anumzamofo mono nompi savri'ma nehaza a'nene ofa ome Kresramana nevaze. E'ina hu'negu ama' antahi'zana omanenigeta haviza hugahaze.

Angiyikuwajezisa amadodakazi enu lapho esenza ubuwule loba omalukazana benu lapho besenza ubufebe, ngoba amadoda uqobo azwana lezifebe anikele imihlatshelo lezifebe ezisezindaweni zokukhonzela abantu abangelakuqedisisa bazabhubha.

15 Hagi Israeli vahe'mota monko a'negna huta mani fatgo huta nomanizanki, Juda vahe'motanema ana zama huzankura kva hiho. Hagi havige anumzante'ma Gilgalima mono'ma hunentaza zankura kva nehuta, kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifima huvempa nehaza zankura kva hiho.

Lanxa ufeba, we Israyeli, uJuda kangabi lecala. Lingayi eGiligali; lingayi eBhethi-Aveni. Njalo lingafungi lisithi, ‘Ngeqiniso njengoba uThixo ekhona!’

16 Hagi Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamasenimo'a hankavetigege huno keontahi bulimakao afu'mofo asenimo'ma hiaza hu'ne. Hianagi inankna hu'na e'inahu vahera sipisipi afu anentama avare'noma vanoma nehigeno tra'zama nenea knara hu'na kegava huzmantegahue.

Abako-Israyeli bayiziqholo, njengethokazi eliyisiqholo. Pho uThixo angabelusela njani emadlelweni njengezimvu na?

17 Hagi Israeli vahera zamatrenke'za zamagra'a zamavesi'za avaririza kaza osu havi anumzantera viho.

U-Efrayimi uhlangene lezithombe; myekeleni enjalo!

18 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za aka tima nete'za monko a'negu ome hake'za ana a'nene monkoza ome nehaze. Hagi ranra kva vahe'mo'za zamagima eri'zana netre'za zamagazema hu avu'ava zanku zamave'nesie.

Lalapho okunathwayo kwabo sekuphelile, bayaqhubeka ngobufebe babo; ababusi babo bazithanda kakhulu izindlela ezilihlazo.

19 Hagi hanave zaho'mo mikaza eme eri hareno freankna hu'na zamavare atregahue. Na'ankure zamagrama havi anumzantema kresramnama vunte'nazagu anara hanuge'za zamagazegu hugahaze.

Isavunguzane sizabakhukhula, lemihlatshelo yabo izabalethela ihlazo.”
