< Hosea 9 >
1 Israeli vahe'mota, ru kumate vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta musenkasea osiho. Na'ankure tamagra monkote huta vano nehuta Anumzamofona tamage huta avariri fatgoa nosaze. Hagi tamagra witi honama neharaza kumapima zagore savari monko avu'avazama huzanku tamave'nesie.
Ungathokozi, we Israyeli; ungajabuli njengezinye izizwe. Ngoba ube ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu wakho; uthanda umholo wesifebe ezizeni zonke zokubhulela.
2 E'ina hu'negu witi honama neharaza kumapintira vahe'mo'za witia e'orisageno, wainima regatati'ma nehaza kumapintira, waini tina e'origahaze. E'ina hanigeno kasefa wainima troma hu grepi raga omanegahie.
Iziza lezikhamelo zewayini kakuyikunika abantu ukudla; iwayini elitsha lizabehlulekisa.
3 Hagi tamagra Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo mopafina omanigahaze. Hianagi Efraemi vahe'mo'za Isipi mopafi ete rukrahe hu'za nevu'za, Asiria umani'neza agruma osu ne'zana negahaze.
Kabayikuhlala elizweni likaThixo; u-Efrayimi uzabuyela eGibhithe adle ukudla okungcolileyo e-Asiriya.
4 Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzamofontega waini ti ofa nosu'za, ofama Kresramanama vanaza zanku'enena Ra Anumzamo'a musena osugahie. Hagi ofama hanaza zamo'a vahe'ma frite'ma zavi'ma netazageno, nezmia bretigna hugahie. Anama ofama hu'zama nesamo'za zamagra'a zamazeri pehena hugahaze. Na'ankure ana bretima nesazana zamaga'ma tege'zama nenazankna hu'za negahazankino, ana ne'zana eri'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompina eofregahaze.
Kabayikuthululela iminikelo yewayini kuThixo, lemihlatshelo yabo kayiyikumthokozisa. Imihlatshelo enje kubo izakuba njengesinkwa sabalilayo; bonke abayidlayo bazangcola. Ukudla lokhu kuzakuba ngokwabo; akuyikufika ethempelini likaThixo.
5 Hagi ne'zama kreno neneno musenkasema hu knarera na'a hugahaze! Nezama kreno neneno Ra Anumzamofoma antahimi knarera na'a hugahaze?
Lizakwenzani ngosuku lwemikhosi yenu emisiweyo, ngensuku zamadili kaThixo na?
6 Hagi keho, hazenke zamofo korora fregahazanagi, Isipi vahe'mo'za tamazeri atru nehanage'za, Memfisi vahe'mo'za aseramantegahaze. Hagi silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza feno zantamimofo agofetura, traza nehagenigeno, ave'ave trazamo seli nontamia hageno refitegahie.
Lanxa bengaphunyuka ekubhujisweni, iGibhithe izababutha, njalo iMemfisi izabangcwaba. Ingcebo yabo yesiliva izathathwa yimbabazane, njalo ameva azagcwala emathenteni abo.
7 Hagi knazama tamino vahe'ma tamazeri havizahu kna hago ne-egeno, mizama eri knamo'a hago ama fore nehianki, Israeli vahe'mota keta antahita hiho. Na'ankure kumitamimo'a rankrerfa huno havizantfa hu'negeta, kasnampa vahekura neginagi vahere huta nehuta, Anumzamofo Avamumo'ma nanekema asmigeno'ma neramasmia vahekura tamavesra hunezmantaze.
Insuku zokujeziswa ziyeza, insuku zokwahlulelwa sezifikile. U-Israyeli kumele akwazi lokhu. Ngoba izono zenu zinengi kakhulu lenzondo yenu inkulu kakhulu, umphrofethi ubalwa njengesiwula umuntu oholwa ngomoya enziwe njengohlanya.
8 Hagi Anumzamo'a kasnampa vahe'a huntegeno Efraemi vahete'ma havizama fore'ma hu'zankura kegava hu'neanagi, kama vanoma hirega tamagra krifua anaginteta vano nehuta, Anumzamofo nompi manineta hara renenteta, knare osu avu'avara hunentaze.
Umphrofethi, ekanye loNkulunkulu wami, ungumuntu olinda u-Efrayimi, kodwa imijibila imlindele kuzozonke izindlela zakhe, kanye lenzondo endlini kaNkulunkulu.
9 Hagi korapa'ma Gibea kumate'ma hu'naza hu'za zamagra kefo avu'ava zana hu kasrikasri hu'za hu'naze. Hagi Anumzamo'a ana kefo avu'avaza zamigura ageranokanino, kumi avu'ava zamigura knazana zamino zamazeri haviza hugahie.
Batshone baphelela ekonakaleni, njengasezinsukwini zaseGibhiya. UNkulunkulu uzakukhumbula ukuxhwala kwabo abajezisele izono zabo.
10 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Israeli vahe'ma ese'ma zamage'na erifore'ma hu'noana, hagage kokampinti'ma grepi ragama tagiankna hu'noe. Hagi ese'ma zamagehe'ima ke'noana, fiki ragama rente'nefinti'ma ese'ma afuma re'nea ragagna hu'nazage'na zamage'noe. Hianagi zamagra Ba'al-Peori eme natre'za kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunente'za, zamagra'a zamazeri zamagazea hu'za himanage zama zamavesinenta zankna zamagra hu'naze.
“Ekufumaneni kwami u-Israyeli kwakunjengokuthola amagrebisi enkangala; ekuboneni kwami okhokho benu, kwakunjengokubona izithelo zakuqala zomkhiwa. Kodwa ekufikeni kwabo kuBhali-Pheyori, bazinikela kulesosithombe esihlazisayo benyanyeka njengaleyonto ababeyithanda.
11 Hagi Efraemi vahe'mo'zama ra zamagima e'neriza zamo'a namamo'ma hiaza huno hareno frenige'za, mofavrea kase ontege, zamu'enena osuge, zamarimpafina mofavrea forera osuge hugahie.
Udumo luka-Efrayimi luzaphapha luhambe njengenyoni, akuyikuba lokuzala, lokukhulelwa, lokuthatha izisu.
12 Hagi zamagra mofavrea kasente'za zamazeri ra hugahazanagi, Nagra ana maka hanare vagaregahue. Nagrama zamagri'ma zamatresuge'za zamagra ra hazenkefi manigahazanki, kva hiho.
Loba bangaze bondle abantwana, ngizabemuka bonke. Maye kubo, lapho sengibadelile!
13 Hagi Tairi vahe'mo'zama knare mopafima mani'nazankna hu'za kotera Efraemi vahe'mo'za knare kumapi mani'nazanagi, Efraemi vahe'mo'za mofavrezmia zamavare'za vanage'za, zamahe frigahaze.
Ngimbonile u-Efrayimi, njengeThire, ebekwe endaweni enhle. Kodwa u-Efrayimi uzakhuphela abantwana bakhe phandle kobulalayo.”
14 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka naza zamigahampi, amne zamio. Hagi nagrama kantahigenuana, mofavrema kase kuntra'ma hu zamarimpa nezminka, amina eri hagage huge'za mofavrea amina ozamiho.
Baphe, Oh Thixo uzabaphani na? Baphe izibeletho eziphunzayo lamabele angelalutho.
15 Hagi Gilgali kumateti eri agafa hu'za kefo avu'ava zana hazage'na, ananteti agafa hu'na navesra huzamante'noe. Kefo zamavu'zmava'ma haza zanku noniafintira zamahekasope netre'na, nagra ru'enena navesi ozmantegahue. Na'ankure kva vahe'zmimo'za ha' renenantaze.
“Ngenxa yokuxhwala kwabo konke eGiligali, ngabazonda khonale. Ngenxa yezenzo zabo eziyizono, ngizabaxotsha endlini yami. Kangisayikubathanda futhi; bonke abakhokheli babo bangabahlamuki.
16 Hagi zafa arafunama tasagi hiaza hu'na Efraemi vahera zamazeri haviza hanuge'za raga reontegahaze. Mofavrea kasente'za zamavesi zmante'gahazanagi, Nagra ana mofavrezmia zamahe frigahue.
U-Efrayimi udlekile, impande zabo zomile, kabatheli zithelo. Loba bengazala abantwana, ngizayibulala inzalo yabo abayithandayo.”
17 Hagi Nagri Anumzamo'a avresra huzmanteno zamatrenige'za, ru vahe mopafi kokankoka vano hugahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Anumzamofonkea antahi'za amagera onte'naze.
UNkulunkulu wami ubalile ngoba kabamlalelanga; bazakuba zinzulane phakathi kwezizwe.
