1 U-Efrayimi udla umoya;
2 Kulecala uThixo azalethesa uJuda;
3 Esiswini wabamba isithende sikamfowabo;
4 Wabindana lengilosi wayehlula;
5 uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla,
6 Kodwa kumele ubuyele kuNkulunkulu wakho;
7 Umthengisi usebenzisa izikali zenkohliso;
8 U-Efrayimi uyazincoma esithi,
9 “Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu
10 Ngakhuluma labaphrofethi,
11 IGiliyadi ixhwalile na?
12 UJakhobe wabalekela elizweni lase-Aramu;
13 UThixo wasebenzisa umphrofethi ekukhupheni u-Israyeli eGibhithe;
14 Kodwa u-Efrayimi umthukuthelise kabuhlungu;
