UHoseya 7
1 Lapho engizakwelapha khona u-Israyeli, izono zika-Efrayimi ziyadalulwa lobubi beSamariya buyembulwa. Benza inkohliso, amasela agqekeza izindlu, izigebenga ziyaphanga emigwaqweni
ʻI he ʻeku tokanga ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe toki hā ʻae angahala ʻa ʻIfalemi, pea mo e angakovi ʻa Samēlia: he ʻoku nau fai kākā; pea ʻoku hū ki loto ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku maumau ʻituʻa ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.
2 kodwa kabananzeleli ukuthi mina ngiyazikhumbula zonke izenzo zabo ezimbi. Izono zabo ziyabaminza; zihlezi ziphambi kwami.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ʻi honau loto, ʻoku ou manatu ki heʻenau angakovi kotoa pē: ko eni, ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau faianga ʻanautolu; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ia.
3 Bathokozisa inkosi ngobuxhwali babo, lababusi ngamanga abo.
ʻOku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻenau angakovi, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi loi.
4 Bonke bayizifebe, batshisa njengeziko elimlilo walo akudingeki ukuba umpheki wezinkwa awukhwezele kusukela ekuvoxeni inhlama ize ikhukhumale.
Ko e kau feʻauaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu kuo fakaʻafu ʻe he tangata taʻo mā, ʻoku ne tuku ia hili ʻene natu ʻae mā, kaeʻoua ke tupu.
5 Ngosuku lomkhosi wenkosi yethu ababusi bathukutheliswa liwayini, inkosi izihlanganise labaklolodayo.
ʻI he ʻaho ʻo hotau tuʻi kuo fakakona ia ʻe he houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hina uaine; naʻa ne mafao hono nima mo e kau manuki.
6 Inhliziyo zabo zinjengeziko, inkosi bayilanda ngamacebo ensitha. Ukufutheka kwabo kuyadeda ubusuku bonke; ekuseni kuyavutha njengomlilo obhebhayo.
Kuo nau teuteu honau loto hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ʻi heʻenau kei lama: ʻoku mohe ʻi he pō kotoa ʻenau tangata taʻo mā; ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku vela ia hangē ko e afi ulo.
7 Bonke batshisa njengeziko; batshwabadele ababusi babo. Wonke amakhosi abo ayawa, kayikho ekhuleka kimi.
ʻOku nau vela kotoa pē hangē ko e ngotoʻumu; kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻenau kau fakamaau; kuo hinga honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ui kiate au.
8 U-Efrayimi uxubana lezizwe; u-Efrayimi ulikhekhe eliyisicecedu elingaphendulwanga.
Kuo fakataha ia mo e kakai ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko e foʻi mā taʻefokihi ʻa ʻIfalemi.
9 Abezizweni bacikiza amandla akhe, kodwa yena kakunanzeleli. Inwele zakhe sezilezimvu kodwa yena kakunanzeleli.
Kuo kai hono mālohi ʻe he kau muli, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo; ʻio, ko e louʻulu hinehina ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi heni mo ʻena, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia.
10 Ubuqholo buka-Israyeli bufakaza okubi ngaye, kodwa phezu kwakho konke lokhu kabuyeli kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe loba amdinge.
Pea ko e fielahi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku fakatōhifo ia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tafoki kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pe kumi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
11 U-Efrayimi unjengejuba, ukhohliseka lula kalangqondo ucela usizo eGibhithe, abuye alucele e-Asiriya.
“ʻOku hangē foki ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e lupe vale ʻoku ʻikai hano loto: ʻoku nau ui ki ʻIsipite, pea nau ʻalu ki ʻAsilia.
12 Lapho sebehamba, ngizaphosa umambule wami phezu kwabo; ngizabadonsela phansi njengezinyoni zasemoyeni. Ngizabezwa behamba bonke, ngizababamba.
ʻOka nau ka ʻalu te u fola hoku kupenga kiate kinautolu; te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo ʻo hangē ko e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi: te u tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fanongo ʻa ʻenau fakataha.
13 Maye kubo ngoba bedukile kimi! Akube lencithakalo kubo ngoba bangihlamukele! Ngiyafisa ukubahlenga kodwa bona bakhuluma amanga ngami.
Malaʻia kiate kinautolu! He kuo nau hola meiate au: fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu! Koeʻuhi kuo nau talangataʻa kiate au: neongo ʻa ʻeku huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau lea loi kiate au.
14 Kabakhalazi kimi ngezinhliziyo zabo kodwa bakhalela emibhedeni yabo. Babuthanela amabele lewayini elitsha kodwa mina basuka bangidele.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi kiate au, ʻaki honau loto ʻi heʻenau kaila ʻi honau mohenga: ʻoku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he koane mo e uaine, pea ʻoku nau angatuʻu kiate au.
15 Ngabafundisa ngabaqinisa, kodwa baceba okubi ngami.
Neongo ʻeku nonoʻo mo fakamālohi honau nima, ka ʻoku nau filioʻi kovi kiate au.
16 Kabaphendukeli koPhezukonke banjengedandili elisolekayo. Abakhokheli babo bazabulawa ngenkemba ngenxa yamazwi abo okweyisa. Ngalokhu bazahlekwa elizweni laseGibhithe.”
ʻOku nau tafoki, kae ʻikai ki he Fungani Māʻolunga: ʻoku nau hangē ko e kaufana kākā: ʻe tō ʻi he heletā honau houʻeiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻita ʻa honau ʻelelo; ko honau manuki eni ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
