1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
1 Wakati nitakapo kumponya Israeli, ndipo yafunuliwapo maovu ya Efraimu, na ubaya wa Samaria; maana wanatenda uongo, na mwivi huvunja nyumba za watu, na kundi la wanyang'anyi hushambulia nje.
