2 Isibuya nesikhamo sewayini akuyikubafunza,iwayini elisha liyakumkhohlisa.
3 Abayikuhlala ezweni likaJehova;u-Efrayimi uyakubuyela eGibithe,nase-Asiriya bayakudla okungcolileyo.
4 Abayikuthululela uJehova iwayini;imihlatshelo yabo ayiyikuba mihle kuye,isinkwa sabo sibe njengesinkwa sabalilayo;bonke abasidlayo bayakungcola,ngokuba isinkwa sabo siyakuba ngesephango,singangeni endlini kaJehova.
5 Niyakwenze njani ngosuku lomhlanganonangosuku lomkhosi kaJehova na?
6 Bhekani,ngokuba bemukile ekuchithweniiGibithe liyakubabutha,iMofi libembele;izinto zabo zamagugu zesiliva ziyakudliwa yizimbabazane,kube ngameva ematendeni abo.
7 Ziyafika izinsuku zokuhanjelwa,izinsuku zempindiselo zisondele;u-Israyeli uyakukwazi.Umprofethi uyakuba njengesiwula,umuntu onomoya ahlanye ngenxa yobuningi bobubi bakhonangobutha obukhulu;
8 umprofethi engumlindi ka-Efrayimi kanye noNkulunkulu wami,ugibe lomthiyi wezinyoni lukuzo zonke izindlela zakhe,nobutha busendlini kaNkulunkulu wakhe.
