UHoseya 12
1 UEfrayimi udla umoya, axotshane lomoya wempumalanga; usuku lonke wandisa amanga lencithakalo; benza isivumelwano leAsiriya, lamafutha athwalelwa eGibhithe.
Efulayimu alya mpewo; agoba empewo ez’ebuvanjuba olunaku lwonna, era bongera ku bulimba ne ku ttemu. Bakola endagaano n’Obwasuli, n’aweereza n’amafuta e Misiri.
2 INkosi layo ilengxabano loJuda, izahambela uJakobe ngokwendlela zakhe, imphindisele ngokwezenzo zakhe.
Mukama alina ensonga ne Yuda, era alibonereza Yakobo ng’engeri ze bwe ziri. Amusasule ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
3 Esiswini wabamba umfowabo ngesithende, langamandla akhe wabindana loNkulunkulu.
Bwe yali mu lubuto lwa nnyina yakwata muganda we ku kisinziiro, ne mu bukulu bwe n’ameggana ne Katonda.
4 Yebo, waba lamandla phezu kwengilosi, wanqoba, wakhala inyembezi wayincenga; eBhetheli wamthola, lalapho wakhuluma lathi.
Yameggana ne malayika n’amuwangula, n’akaaba n’amwegayirira. Yamusisinkana e Beseri, n’ayogera naye.
5 Ngitsho iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, iNkosi iyisikhumbuzo sayo.
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, Mukama ly’erinnya lye erijjukirwa.
6 Ngakho wena, phendukela kuNkulunkulu wakho, gcina umusa lokulunga, ulindele uNkulunkulu wakho njalonjalo.
Naye oteekwa okudda eri Katonda wo; kuuma okwagala n’obwenkanya, olindirirenga Katonda wo ennaku zonna.
7 Ungumthengisi, izilinganiso ezikhohlisayo zisesandleni sakhe, uthanda ukucindezela.
Omusuubuzi akozesa ebipimo eby’obulimba, era anyumirwa okukumpanya.
8 LoEfrayimi uthi: Kanti nginothile, sengizitholele inotho; kuyo yonke imitshikatshika yami kabayikuthola ububi kimi, obuyisono.
Efulayimu yeewaana ng’ayogera nti, “Ndi mugagga nnyo, nfunye ebintu bingi. Mu bugagga bwange bwonna, tebayinza kundabamu kibi wadde okwonoona kwonna.”
9 Kodwa ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, kusukela elizweni leGibhithe; ngisezakuhlalisa emathenteni njengensukwini zomkhosi omisiweyo.
Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu Misiri; ndikuzzaayo n’obeera mu weema nate, nga mu nnaku ez’embaga ezaalagirwa.
10 Ngizakhuluma futhi labaprofethi, mina ngandise umbono, ngisebenzise imifanekiso ngesandla sabaprofethi.
Nayogera eri bannabbi, ne mbawa okwolesebwa kungi, ne mbagerera engero nga mpita mu bo.
11 Bukhona yini ububi eGileyadi? Isibili bayize, bahlaba izinkunzi eGiligali; yebo, amalathi abo anjengenqumbi emiseleni yamasimu.
Gireyaadi butali butuukirivu era n’abantu baamu butaliimu. Mu Gireyaadi basalirayo ente ennume ne baziwaayo nga ssaddaaka, era ebyoto byabwe binaaba ng’entuumo ey’amayinja mu nnimiro ennime.
12 Kanti uJakobe wabalekela elizweni leSiriya, loIsrayeli wasebenzela umfazi, welusa izimvu ngenxa yomfazi.
Yakobo yaddukira mu nsi ya Alamu; Isirayiri yaweereza okufuna omukazi, era okumufuna yalundanga ndiga.
13 Langomprofethi iNkosi yamenyusa uIsrayeli eGibhithe, langomprofethi walondolozwa.
Mukama yakozesa nnabbi okuggya Isirayiri mu Misiri, era n’akozesa nnabbi okumukuuma.
14 UEfrayimi uyicunule ngobuhlungu obukhulu; ngakho izayekela igazi lakhe phezu kwakhe, leNkosi yakhe ilibuyisele kuye ihlazo lakhe.
Naye Efulayimu amusoomoozezza era amusunguwazizza, Mukama we kyaliva amutekako omusango olw’omusaayi gwe yayiwa, n’amusasula olw’obunyoomi bwe.
