< Hosea 8 >
1 Hagi ufena tamagite anteta reho! Tumpa namamo nehiaza hu'za ha' vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo nona eme avazagi kanegize. Na'ankure zamagra huhagerafi huvempa keni'a ruha'nentagi'za, kasegeni'a ha'rente'nazagu anara hugahaze.
“Faka icilongo ezindebeni zakho! Ukhozi lungaphezu kwendlu kaThixo ngoba abantu basephule isivumelwano sami bahlamukela lomthetho wami.
2 Israeli vahe'mo'za nagritega amanage hu'za zavi krafagea hu'naze. Anumzamoka tagri Anumza mani'nanketa tagra keta antahita kagrira hu'none hu'za hu'naze.
U-Israyeli uyakhalaza kimi esithi, ‘Oh Nkulunkulu wethu, siyakwamukela!’
3 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za knare avu'ava zana zamagena humi'nazankino, ha' vahe'amo'za zamahe'za zamarotago hugahaze.
Kodwa u-Israyeli ukwalile okuhle; isitha sizaxotshana laye.
4 Hagi zamagra nagripintira hu izo kea e'orine'za, kini vahera zamazeri oti'naze. Nagra ke'na antahina osu'noge'za, kva vahera zamazeri oti'naze. Hagi silva zamireti'ene golireti'enena kaza osu havi anumzana tro hunte'nazanagi, ana zamo'a zamazeri haviza hugahie.
Babeka amakhosi kungekho mvumo yami; bakhetha ababusi kungekho mvumo yami. Ngesiliva sabo langegolide, bazenzela izithombe zibe yikubhujiswa kwabo.
5 Hagi Sameri'a vahe'mota bulimakao anenta'amofo amema'ama golire'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zankura, nagra tusiza hu'na narimpa ahenezmantoe. E'i ana zantera tusiza huno narimpa neheanki, nazupa kefo avu'ava zana atreta knarera huta manigahaze?
Lahla isithombe sakho sethole, wena Samariya! Ulaka lwami luyavutha ngawe. Koze kube nini bengelamandla okuhlambuluka na?
6 Hagi mago Israeliti eri'za vahe'mo ana havi anumzana azanteti tro hunte'neankino, e'i anumzana omanine. E'ina hu'negu ana zantamina erita ru tamanatamanu hutreho.
Bavela ko-Israyeli! Ithole leli labunjwa yingcwethi; kalisuye Nkulunkulu. Lizachobozwa libe yizicucu, ithole lelo laseSamariya.
7 Hagi tamagra menina zaho nehankrazankita henka ra zahokrerfa hamaregahaze. Hagi witia hankre'nageno marerigahianagi, raga reontegahie. Hagi marerino ragama rente'niana, ha' vahe'mo'za musufa emerigahaze.
Bahlanyela umoya bavune isavunguzane. Ihlanga kalilasikhwebu; kaliyikuthela ifulawa. Aluba belingathela amabele, abezizweni kade bezawamimiliza.
8 Hagi Israeli vahera zamasagahu nakarisige'za, haviza hu'nea kavo meaza hu'za kokankoka vahe amu'nompi mani fankanu haregahaze.
U-Israyeli useginyiwe; khathesi phakathi kwezizwe unjengento engelasizo.
9 Na'ankure zamagra afi donki afumo agra'a avesi'zante vano hiaza hu'za Asiria mareriza vu'naze. Hagi Efraemi'a zagore monko avu'avara huno vano hu'ne.
Ngoba sebeye e-Asiriya njengobabhemi weganga entula yedwa. U-Efrayimi uzithengisile kuzithandwa.
10 Hagi zamagra ru vahete zamavufaga zagore ome atre'nazanagi, Nagra zamazeri atru hu'na keaga huzmantegahue. Hanki hankave kini ne'mo knazana zamino zamazeri haviza hume nevanige'za, osi'a vahe manigahaze.
Lanxa bezithengisile phakathi kwezizwe, ngizabaqoqela ndawonye. Bazaqalisa ukucikizeka bengaphansi kwencindezelo yenkosi elamandla.
11 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za ofama hu ita rama'a tro hu'nazanagi, e'i ana itaramimo'a Nagri navurera kumima hu itarami efore nehie!
Lanxa u-Efrayimi wakha ama-alithare amanengi eminikelo yezono, asebe ngama-alithare okwenza izono.
12 Hagi Nagra rama'a kasege krezami'noanagi, zamagra ana kasegea kazageno amanezankna hige'za, tagri'zana omane'ne nehu'za, ana kasegeni'a amagera onte'naze.
Ngabalobela izinto ezinengi zomthetho wami kodwa bona bazithatha njengento engaziwayo.
13 Hagi zamagra nagritega ofa eme kresramana nevu'za, ana afu'mofo ame'a ne'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a ana ofagura musena nosue. Hagi menina kefo avu'avaza zamigura agesa nentahino, kumi'ma hu'naza zantera knazana zaminige'za, ete Isipi rukrahe hu'za vugahaze.
Banikela imihlatshelo njengezipho kimi babuye badle inyama yakhona, kodwa uThixo kathokozi ngabo. Khathesi usezakhumbula ukuxhwala kwabo abajezisele izono zabo: Bazabuyela eGibhithe.
14 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za tro'ma huzmante'nea Anumzana zamage kaninente'za, kini vahe'mokizmi nonkumazmi kinte'naze. Hagi Juda vahe'mo'za rankumamofo have kegina eri hankaveti'za tro hu'naze. Hianagi Nagra teve atresugeno rankumazmia tefanane nehina, vihu kumazminena tevemo tefanane hugahie.
U-Israyeli usemkhohliwe uMenzi wakhe wakha izindlu zamakhosi; uJuda usevikele amadolobho amanengi ngezinqaba. Kodwa ngizathumela umlilo emadolobheni abo ozaqothula izinqaba zabo.”
