< Hosea 7 >
1 Nagra Israeli vahera zamazeri so'e hunaku huanagi, Efraemi vahe'mofo kefo avu'avazamo'a eama nehigeno, Sameria vahe'mofona havi zamavu'zamava zamo'a zamagripina avite'ne. Zamagra kefo zamavu'zamava nehazage'za, musufa vahe'mo'za nona tagna nevazizage'za, megia musufa vahe'mo'za vano nehu'za vahe'mofo zana musufa enerize.
Lapho bengingelapha uIsrayeli, khona isiphambeko sikaEfrayimi sembulwa, lobubi beSamariya; ngoba benza amanga, lesela liyangena, leviyo labaphangi liyaphanga ngaphandle.
2 Hianagi ana kumi'zamigu'ma nage'ma nokanua zana zamagra ke'za antahiza osu'naze. Kumima haza zamo'a maka kaziga megagi zmante'nege'na, Nagra ana maka kumizmi'a amate negoe.
Njalo kabangatsho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi ngiyabukhumbula bonke ububi babo. Khathesi izenzo zabo zibahanqile, ziphambi kobuso bami.
3 Hagi kefo avu'ava zanteti kini nera azeri muse nehu'za, havigema huzanteti ugagota kva vahe'zmia zamazeri musena nehaze.
Bayayithokozisa inkosi ngobubi babo, leziphathamandla ngamanga abo.
4 Hagi zamagra savri monko avu'avaza hu vahe mani'nazanki'za, breti krenaku'ma witi flaua'ma heneru'zama avenifima tevema hugrazageno tusi amuhoma nehiankna huno, monkozama hu zamagu'zamagesamo'a teve rukru nehie.
Bonke bayafeba; banjengeziko elibaselwa ngumphekizinkwa, oyekela ukukhwezela umlilo kusukela ekuxoveni inhlama kuze kube sekubileni kwayo.
5 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma ne'zama kreno neneno musema nehia knarera, ugagota kva vahe'mo'za hankave tina ne'za neginagi nehazageno kini ne'mo'a zamagri'enena kiza zokago kea nehie.
Kulusuku lwenkosi yethu; iziphathamandla ziyigulise ngokutshisa kwewayini; yelulela isandla sayo kanye labaklolodayo.
6 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma hu antahiza zamimo'a avenimo'ma tusi amuhoma nehiankna huno, amuho huteno kenagera amuhomo'a ome osi osi nehuno, nanterama segeno'a tevenefa'mo'ma nehiaza huno hagana hagana nehie.
Ngoba zalungisa inhliziyo yazo njengeziko ngokucathamela kwazo; umphekizinkwa wazo ulala ubusuku bonke; ekuseni libhebhe njengomlilo olelangabi.
7 Hagi zamagra avenimo'ma tusi amuhoma hiaza hute'za, kva vahe'zmia zamahe hana nehaze. Hagi miko kini vahezamia zamahe vaganere'za nagrama zamazama hanugura nagritega kea nosaze.
Zonke ziyatshisa njengeziko; zidle abehluleli bazo; amakhosi azo wonke awile; kakulamuntu phakathi kwazo ongibizayo.
8 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ru vahe'ene ruhavia hu'za nemaniza, te so'e osu'nea kekigna hu'naze.
UEfrayimi yena uzihlanganise lezizwe; uEfrayimi uliqebelengwana elingaphendulwanga.
9 Hagi ru vahe'mo'za hankavezamia eri amne nehazanagi, zamagra ana zana keza antahiza nosaze. Hagi tu'zamazokamo'a tusiza nehianagi, zamagra e'i ana zana ke'za antahiza nosaze.
Abezizwe badla amandla akhe, kodwa yena kazi. Yebo, inwele ezimpunga zihlakazekile phezu kwakhe, kodwa yena kazi.
10 Hagi Israeli vahe'mokizmi keontahi zamavu'zamava zamo'a eriama huno nezmasamianagi, zamagra rukrahe hu'za Ra Anumzana zamagra'a Anumzantera omege Agrikura hakegera nosaze.
Lokuzigqaja kukaIsrayeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe, kodwa kababuyeli eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo, kabayidingi ngakho konke lokhu.
11 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za mago antahi'zana omne maho namagna vahe mani'naze. Zamagra Isipi vaheku zamazama hanagura kezaneti'za, kegavama huzmante'sazegura Asiria vahekura kea hu'naze.
Njalo uEfrayimi unjengejuba eliyisiphukuphuku elingelangqondo; bakhalela iGibhithe, baye eAsiriya.
12 Hagi anantegama vanage'na namama hareno enevigeno, kukoma rutare ante'neno azeneriankna hu'na Nagra kukoni'a atrena zamazerite'na, knazana zamigahue.
Lapho behamba ngizakwendlala imbule lami phezu kwabo, ngibehlise njengenyoni zamazulu, ngibajezise njengokwezwakala ebandleni labo.
13 Zamagra ra hazenkefi manigahaze. Na'ankure nagrira zamefi hunami'za fre'nazankiza, zamagra haviza hugahaze. Hagi ete nagra zamavarenaku nehuanagi, zamagra havige hu'za renavatga nehaze.
Maye kubo, ngoba babalekile kimi! Incithakalo kubo, ngoba baphambukile bemelene lami. Lanxa mina bengingabahlenga, kube kanti bona baqamba amanga bemelene lami.
14 Hagi zamagra zamagu'aretira hu'za nagritega krafagea nosazanki, tafe'zamire mani'neza amne krafagea nehaze. Zamagra wainire'ene witire'ene ome eritru nehu'za, Nagrira zamefi hunami'naze.
Kabakhaleli-ke kimi ngenhliziyo yabo, lapho beqhinqa isililo emibhedeni yabo; babuthana ngenxa yamabele lewayini elitsha, bayaphambuka bemelene lami.
15 Hagi Nagra rempi huzami'na zamazeri hankaveti'noanagi, zamagra nazeri haviza hunaku oku'a kea anaki'naze!
Lanxa mina ngibalaya ngiqinisa izingalo zabo, kanti baceba okubi bemelene lami.
16 Hagi zamagra rukrahe hu'za e'nazanagi, Nagritera ome'nazanki haviza hu'nea atigna hu'naze. Hagi kva vahe'zamimo'zama knare osu kema hu'nazagu hu'za ha' vahe'mo'za kva vahera eme zamahe fri vagaregahaze. E'ina hanage'za Isipi vahe'mo'za zamagi'za regahaze.
Bayaphenduka kodwa kunge koPhezukonke; banjengedandili elikhohlisayo; iziphathamandla zabo ziwa ngenkemba ngenxa yentukuthelo yolimi lwabo. Lokhu kuzakuba yinhlekisa yabo elizweni leGibhithe.
