1“Zwanini lokhu, lina baphristi!
2Abahlamuki batshonile ekubulaleni,
3Mina ngazi konke ngo-Efrayimi;
4Izenzo zabo kazibavumeli
5Ukuzigqaja kuka-Israyeli kufakaza okubi ngaye;
6Lapho behamba lemihlambi yezimvu zabo leyenkomo
7Kabathembekanga kuThixo*;
8Khalisani icilongo eGibhiya,
9U-Efrayimi uzachithwa
10Abakhokheli bakoJuda
11U-Efrayimi uncindezelwe,
12Mina nginjengenondo ku-Efrayimi,
13Kwathi u-Efrayimi ebona umkhuhlane wakhe,
14Ngoba ngizakuba njengesilwane ku-Efrayimi,
