Chapter 11

1 Oko uSirayeli ebemncinane, ndamthanda, ndambiza unyana wam ukuba aphume eYiputa.
2 Bababiza, kwaba kukhona bemkayo ebusweni babo; babingelela kooBhahali, baqhumisela kwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo.
3 Mna ke ndamfundisa uEfrayim ukuhamba, ndibaphatha ngeengalo zam; abazanga noko, ukuba ndabaphilisa.
4 Ndabatsala ngezintya zomntu, ngeentsontelo zothando; kubo ndaba njengomnyinyisi wedyokhwe emihlathini yabo, ndathantamisa ukumnika ukudla.
5 Akayi kubuyela ezweni laseYiputa; nguAsiriya ukumkani wakhe; kuba abavumanga ukubuya.
6 Ikrele liya kuyijikeleza imizi yakhe, liyigqibele imivalo yakhe, liyidle, ngenxa yamacebo abo.
7 Abantu bam baphikele ukubuya umva kum; nakuba bebizelwa phezulu, abaziphakamisi mpela.
8 Ndingathini na ukukulahla, Efrayim? ndikuncame, Sirayeli? Ndingathini na ukukulahla njengeAdama, ndikwenze ube njengeTsebhoyim? Intliziyo yam iphethukile phakathi kwam, ububele bam buvuthile kunye.
9 Andiyi kukwenza ukuvutha komsindo wam, andiyi kubuya ndimonakalise uEfrayim; ngokuba ndinguThixo, andimntu; ndingoyiNgcwele phakathi kwakho; andizi ndishushu ngamsindo.
10 Baya kumlandela uYehova; uya kubharhula njengengonyama; kuba yena uya kubharhula, bavele entshonalanga oonyana, begubha.
11 Baya kuvela eYiputa, begubha njengeentaka, bavele ezweni laseAsiriya njengamavukuthu, ndibabeke ezindlwini zabo; utsho uYehova.
12 UEfrayim undirhawule ngobuxoki, indlu kaSirayeli ngenkohliso; noYuda usengumqhathu kuThixo, koyiNgcwele, onyanisileyo.
