3 Mna ndiyamazi uEfrayim, noSirayeli àkagushiwe kum; ngokuba ùhenyuzile ngoku, wena Efrayim, uSirayeli uzenzé inqambi.
4 Izenzo zabo azivumi ukuba babuyele kuThixo wabo; kuba umoya wobuhenyu ukubo, àbamazi uYehova.
5 Iqhayiya likaSirayeli liyangqina ebusweni bakhe; bokhubeka noSirayeli noEfrayim ngobugwenxa babo; wokhubeka nabo kwanoYuda.
6 Baya kuya kumfuna uYehova, benempahla yabo emfutshane neenkomo zabo, bangamfumani; urhoxile kubo.
7 Bánginiza kuYehova, kuba bezele oonyana abangengabo; ngoku ke ukuthwasa kwenyanga kuyabadla, kunye nezahlulo zabo zomhlaba.
8 Vuthelani izigodlo eGibheha, nexilongo eRama; wuhlabeni eBhetaven, nithi, Emva kwakho, Bhenjamin.
9 Kuya kuba senkangala kwelakwaEfrayim ngemini yokohlwaya; ezizweni zakwaSirayeli ndisazisile isimakade sesibetho.
