1 Celani kuJehova imvula ngesikhathi semvula yamuva,uJehova owenza imibani,abesebanika izihlambi zemvula,yilowo nalowo aphiwe utshani ezweni lakhe.
2 Ngokuba amatherafi* akhulumile okuyize,nababhuli babone okungamanga;bakhuluma amaphupho angelutho,baduduza ngeze;ngalokho bayasuka njengezimvu,bathotshisiwe,ngokuba kungekho umalusi.
3 “Intukuthelo yami ivuthele abelusi;ngiyakujezisa izimpongo,ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti uyakuhambela umhlambi wakhe,indlu yakwaJuda,abenze babe njengehhashi elinobukhosi ekulweni.
4 Kuyena kuyakuphuma itshe legumbi,kuyena isikhonkwane,kuyena umnsalo wempi,kuyena bonke ababusi kanyekanye.
5 Bayakuba njengamaqhaweanyathela udaka ezitaladini ekulweni;bayakulwa, ngokuba uJehova unabo,nezinkweli zamahhashi ziyakujabha.
6 “Ngiyakuqinisa indlu yakwaJuda,ngisindise indlu yakwaJosefa,ngibabuyise, ngokuba nginomusa kubo,babe kungathi angizange ngibalahle,ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo;ngiyakubezwa.
7 U-Efrayimi uyakuba njengeqhawe;inhliziyo yabo iyakuthokoza njengangewayini;abantwana babo bayakukubona, bathokoze;inhliziyo yabo iyakujabula kuJehova.
8 Ngiyakubahlabela ikhwelo,ngibabuthe,ngokuba ngibahlengile;bayakwanda njengalokho kade banda.
9 Nalapho ngibahlwanyela phakathi kwabantu,bayakungikhumbula ezindaweni ezikude,baphile kanye nabantwana babo,babuye.
10 Ngiyakubabuyisa ezweni laseGibithe,ngibabuthe e-Asiriya,ngibangenise ezweni lakwaGileyadi naseLebanoni,abayikutholelwa indawo.
11 Bayakudabula elwandle lokuhlupheka,kushaywe amaza olwandle,nezintwa zonke zeNayile ziyakoma,kwehliswe ukuziphakamisa kwe-Asiriya,isuke intonga yaseGibithe.
12 Ngiyakubaqinisa kuJehova,bahambe egameni lakhe,” usho uJehova.
