3 Hagi ko'ma zamagrite'ma eamama hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra Israeli vahera vagaore mevava navesi zanteti, zamavare nagrarega ante'noe hu'ne.

Ngizakwakha njalo uzakwakhiwa kutsha futhi, wena Israyeli Ntombi emsulwa. Uzathatha amagedla akho futhi uphume uyegida labathokozayo.
5 Hagi tamagra ko'ma nehazaza huta Sameriama me'nea agonaramimpina waini hoza kasefa antegahaze. Hagi waini hozama antesaza vahe'mo'za, ana hozafintira raga'a tagiza nene'za musena hugahaze.

6 Hagi mago kna ne-eankino ana knama esanige'za, kuma kvama nehaza vahe'mo'za, Efraemi agona kokampi manine'za, amanage hu'za kezan kea hugahaze. Otinketa Saioni agonare vuta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofona monora ome huntesanune hu'za hugahaze.
Kuzakuba losuku lapho abalindi bezamemeza phezu kwamaqaqa ako-Efrayimi bathi, ‘Wozani, kasiyeni eZiyoni, kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.’”
7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Jekopu nagakura ranke huta muse zagamera huzmanteho. Ana vahe'mo'za maka vahera zamagatere'naza vahe mani'naze. Hagi ranke huta Nagri nagima musema huta husgama hanazana amanage hiho, Ra Anumzamoka, Israeli vaheka'a osi'ama ofri mani'naza vahera zamagu vazinka zamavro huta hiho.
UThixo uthi: “Mhlabeleleni uJakhobe ngokuthokoza; nqongolozelani izizwe ezidumileyo. Yenzani ukudumisa kwenu kuzwakale, lisithi, ‘Awu Thixo, bahlenge abantu bakho, insalela ka-Israyeli.’

Khangelani, ngizababuyisa bevela elizweni lasenyakatho, ngibaqoqe emikhawulweni yomhlaba. Phakathi kwabo kuzakuba leziphofu labaqhulayo; abesifazane abazithweleyo labahelelwayo; ixuku elikhulu lizabuya.
9 Hagi zamavare'nama ne-esuge'za zamagra zavi nete'za Nagritega nunamuna nehanage'na, zamavare'na ete egahue. Hagi Nagra tinkenarega zamavare'na ne-e'na, knare huno pehe hu'nesia kante zamavare'na ne-esuge'za tanafara osugahaze. Na'ankure Nagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi nezmafana manugeno, Efraemi'a zage mofavreni'a mani'ne.
Bazabuya bekhala; bazakhuleka lapho ngibabuyisa. Ngizabaholela ezihotsheni zamanzi endleleni eyendlalekileyo lapho abangayikukhubeka khona, ngoba nginguyise ka-Israyeli, njalo u-Efrayimi yindodana yami elizibulo.
10 Hagi kokankoka vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo nanekea nentahinkeno, afete'ma hageri ankenaregama nemaniza vahe'mota amanage huta huama hiho, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri panani'ma hu'nemo ete zamavareno eteno sipisipi afute kva vahemo'ma sipisipi afutamima kegavama nehiaza huno kegava huzmantegahie huta hiho.
Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lina zizwe; limemezeleni emazweni angaselwandle khatshana lithi: ‘Yena owahlakaza u-Israyeli uzamqoqa njalo uzakwelusa umhlambi wakhe njengomelusi.’
11 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Jekopu nagara hankavenentake ha' vahe zamimofo zamazampintira ete zamagu vazino zamavaregahie.
Ngoba uThixo uzamhlenga uJakhobe, abakhulule ezandleni zalabo abalamandla kulabo.
12 Hagi zamagrama etesanu'za Saioni agonafi mareri'za manine'za ranke hu'za kezati'za zagamera nehu'za musenkasea hugahaze.

Ana hanigeno nomaniza zamimo'a mago'ma masaventretre'ma hu'nea hozagna hanige'za, mago'enena zamasunku zampina omanigahaze.
Bazakuza banqongoloze ngentokozo ezingqongeni zeZiyoni; bazathokoza ngokuphana kukaThixo, ngamabele, langewayini elitsha kanye lamafutha e-oliva, ngamazinyane ezimvu langamathole enkomo. Bazakuba njengesivande esithelelwa kuhle, njalo kabasayikuba losizi futhi.
13 Hagi ananknafina vene omase mofa'nemo'za musenkase hu'za avo nehagesage'za, nahezavemo'zane ranra vahe'mo'zanena ana zanke hu'za avo hagegahaze. Na'ankure zamasunku zampima mani'naza zana eri atresuge'za musenkase hugahaze. Nagra zamagu'a zamazeri hankaveneti'na zamasunku zana eri netre'na museza zamigahue.
Izintombi zizagida njalo futhi zithabe, enzenjalo amajaha labadala. Ngizaguqula ukukhala kwabo kube yikuthaba; ngizabapha induduzo lentokozo esikhundleni sosizi.
14 Hagi Nagra pristi vahe'mofo zamagu'afina museza antevite nezmante'na, knare'nare zantami vaheni'a antevite zamantesuge'za musenkase hugahaze, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Ngizasuthisa abaphristi ngokunengi, labantu bami bazasutha ngokuphana kwami,” kutsho uThixo.

Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ilizwi lizwakala eRama, lesililo lokukhala okukhulu, uRasheli ukhalela abantwabakhe njalo esala ukududuzwa, ngoba kabasekho.”
16 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Reseliga mofavre nagaka'agu'ma zavi krafama nehana zana atrenka kavunura eri amne huo. Na'ankure kagrama zavi'ma te'nana zamo'a amne zanknara osugahie. Mofavre nagakamo'za ha' vahe mopa atre'za ete kagritega egahaze.
Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Bamba ilizwi lakho ungakhali, lamehlo akho angehlisi inyembezi ngoba umsebenzi wakho uzathola umvuzo,” kutsho uThixo. “Bazabuya bevela elizweni lesitha.

Ngikuzwile impela ukukhala kuka-Efrayimi esithi: ‘Wangitshaya njengethole elingathambanga, njalo sengajeziseka. Ngibuyisa, njalo ngizabuya, ngoba unguThixo uNkulunkulu wami.
19 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka kagrira katreta vu'nonanagi, menina Kagrite eta tasunku eme nehune. Hagi tazeri fatgoma hanketa tagra'a kefozama keta antahitama nehuta, tagazegu huta kepri nehune. Na'ankure nehazavema manitama e'nontegatima hu'nona kefo avu'ava zankura tagazegu nehune.
Emva kokweduka kwami, ngaphenduka; emva kokuba sengizwisisile, ngazitshaya isifuba. Ngaba lenhloni ngadumazeka ngoba ngangilehlazo lasebutsheni bami.’
20 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Efraemina Nagra navesinentoa mofavre mani'ne. Nagra knazana amigahuanagi maka zupa nagesa antahinemua mofavreni'a mani'ne. Ana hu'neankino nagu'amo'a agrite me'negu Nagra tamagerfa hu'na nasunku huntegahue.
U-Efrayimi kasindodana yami ethandekayo, umntanami engithokoza ngaye na? Lanxa ngihlala ngikhuluma kubi ngaye ngisamkhumbula. Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyamlangatha; ngiyamzwela kakhulu, kutsho uThixo.

Beka izitshengiso zomgwaqo; umise lezinsika zeziqondiso. Nanzelela umgwaqo, indlela ozahamba ngayo. Phenduka, wena Ntombi egcweleyo Israyeli, buyela emadolobheni akho.

Koze kube nini ulokhu uzulazula, wena ndodakazi engathembekanga na? UThixo uzadala into entsha emhlabeni, owesifazane uzavikela indoda.”

UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, “Lapho ngibabuyisa bevela ekuthunjweni, abantu abaselizweni lakoJuda lasemadolobheni alo bazawasebenzisa futhi amazwi la athi, ‘UThixo akubusise wena ndawo yokuhlala elungileyo, wena ntaba engcwele.’

Abantu bazahlala ndawonye koJuda lasemadolobheni akhona wonke, abalimi kanye lalabo abazulazulayo lemihlambi yabo.
25 Hagi avesragu'ma hania vahera ete azeri kasefa nehu'na, hankave'ama omanesia vahera ete hankavea amigahue.

Njengoba ngabalinda ukusiphuna lokudiliza, ukuchitha lokubhubhisa kanye lokuletha umonakalo, ngokunjalo ngizabalinda ukwakha lokuhlanyela,” kutsho uThixo.
29 Hagi ana knafina amanahu fronka kea osugahaze. Zamafahe'za afu ore'nea waini raga nazageno, mofavre naga zamimofo zamagitera aka hu'ne hu'za osugahaze.

30 Hianagi anopa waini rgama negeno agite'ma akaheaza huno, mago'magomo'a agra'ama hu'nesia kumimofo kna'a erino fritere hugahie.

31 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Mago kna ne-eankino ana knama esanige'na, Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'enena kasefa huhagerafi huvempa kea zamagrane hu hagerafigahue.

Umuntu kasayikufundisa umakhelwane wakhe, kumbe umfowabo esithi, ‘Mazi uThixo,’ ngoba bonke bazangazi, kusukela komncinyane wabo kusiya komkhulu, kutsho uThixo. Ngoba ngizabathethelela ububi babo, njalo angiyikukhumbula izono zabo futhi.”
