Abakwa-Israyeli bayabizwa ukuba baphenduke
1 “Wozani sibuyele kuJehova,
ngokuba yena usidwengulile;
uyakusiphulukisa;
usishayile, uyakusibopha.
2Uyakusiphilisa ngezinsuku ezimbili,
asivuse ngosuku lwesithathu,
siphile phambi kwakhe.
3Masimazi, sijonge ukumazi uJehova;
ukuphuma kwakhe kuqinisekile njengokusa;
uyakufika kithi njengemvula,
njengemvula yamuva enethisa umhlaba.
4 “Ngiyakwenzani kuwe Efrayimi,
ngiyakwenzani kuwe Juda, na?
Uthando lwenu lunjengefu lokusa nanjengamazolo amuka ekuseni.
5Ngalokho ngiyabashaya ngabaprofethi,
ngibabulale ngamazwi omlomo wami,
ukwahlulelwa kwakho kuqhame ekukhanyeni.
6 Ngokuba ngifuna uthando,
hhayi umhlatshelo;
ngifuma ukumazi uNkulunkulu kuneminikelo yokushiswa.
7Kepha baseqile isivumelwano njengo-Adamu;
bangikhohlisa ngalokho.
8 IGileyadi lingumuzi wabenza okubi,
linemikhondo yegazi.
9Njengabaphangi beqamekela umuntu,
isigaba sabapristi siyabulala endleleni eya eShekemi,
yebo, benza okunengekayo.
10 Endlini yakwa-Israyeli ngibonile into eyesabekayo:
kukhona ubufebe kwa-Efrayimi,
u-Israyeli ungcolile.
11“Nawe Juda ulungiselwe ukuvunwa,
lapho ngibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami.
