8 “Bethani umtshingo eGibeya necilongo eRama;hlabani umkhosi eBeti Aveni:basemva kwakho, Benjamini!
9 U-Efrayimi uyakuba yincithakalo ngosuku lokujeziswa,ngazisile izizwe zakwa-Israyeli okuqinisekileyo.
10 Izikhulu zakwaJuda zinjengabasusa imincele;ngiyakuthulula phezu kwazo intukuthelo yami njengamanzi.
11 U-Efrayimi ucindezelekile,uchotshoziwe ekwahlulelweni,ngokuba wavuma ukulandela umyalo oyize.
12 Mina-ke senginjengenundu ku-Efrayimi,nanjengokubola kuyo indlu yakwaJuda.
13 “Lapho u-Efrayimi abona isifo sakhenoJuda isilonda sakhe,u-Efrayimi waya e-Asiriya,wathumela enkosini uJarebi;kepha ingeniphulukise,ayinakusipholisa isilonda senu.
14 Ngokuba ngiyakuba njengengonyama ku-Efrayimi,nebhongo lengonyama kuyo indlu yakwaJuda;mina yebo, mina ngiyakudwengula,besengimuka;ngiyakususa, kungekho owophulayo.
