Hosea Redeems His Wife

¹Wathi uYehova kum, Phinda, uye uthande umfazi, ethandwa nguwabo, ekrexeza; njengoko uYehova abathandayo oonyana bakaSirayeli, bebheka thixweni bambi nje, bethanda izicumba zeerasintyisi."

²Ndamthenga wangowam ngeshumi elinesihlanu lesilivere, nehomere yerhasi, neleteke yerhasi."

³Ndathi kuye, Uze uhlalele mna imihla emininzi, ungahenyuzi, ungabi wandoda yimbi; nam ndenjenjalo kuwe."

⁴Ngokuba oonyana bakaSirayeli baya kuhlala imihla emininzi bengenakumkani, bengenamthetheli, bengenambingelelo, bengenasimiso samatye, bengenaefodi namilonde-khaya."

⁵Emveni koko baya kubuya oonyana bakaSirayeli, bamquqele uYehova uThixo wabo, noDavide ukumkani wabo; baye benkwantya kuYehova, nasekulungeni kwakhe ekupheleni kwemihla."
