1HAI ukusibekelelwa kwentombi yase‐Ziyone yinkosi ngengqumbo yayo! ibute kahla kwa sezulwini kude kube semhlabeni ubuhle buka‐Sirayeli, ingakumbulanga ngesitulo senyawo zayo emhleni wengqumbo yayo.

2Inkosi izigqibile zonke intlalo zika‐Yakobi, ingabanga nanceba kuzo; ngomsindo wayo iziwisile inqaba zentombi ka‐Juda; izihlisele emhlabeni: inco̔lisile ubukumkani nenkosana zabo.

3Izinqumlile ngobushushu bengqumbo yayo zonke impondo zika‐Sirayeli; ibuyisile esokunene isandla sayo ebusweni botshaba: utshisile kwa‐Yakobi njengomlilo odangazelayo, o dlayo ngokungqonga.

4Isipeta sayo isityedile njengotshaba; isixatisile isandla sayo sokunene njengoyimpi; yabulala bonke abanqwenelekayo kwiliso ententeni yentombi yase‐Ziyone: yatulula ubuṙalaṙume bayo njengomlilo.

5Inkosi yaba njengotshaba; iyigqibile i‐Sirayeli: izigqibile zonke indlukazi zayo; izitshabalalisile inqaba zayo: kanjalo ikwandisile entombini ka‐Juda ukulila nosizi.

6Ilucitile ubiyo lwayo, njengolwentsimi: itshabalalisile indawo yayo yokuhlangana: umtendeleko nesabata uyehova uzenzile zilityalwe e‐Ziyone, wabadela ngokuṙala kwengqumbo yake ukumkani nomperisite.

7Inkosi ilahlile isibingelo sayo, itiyile indawo yayo eyingcwele; izinikele esandleni sotshaba indonga zendlukazi zayo; benzile intsholo endlwini kayehova, njengasemhleni womtendeleko.

8Ucingile uyehova, ukutshabalalisa udonga lwentombi yase‐Ziyone; uyolule intambo, akasibuyisanga isandla sake ekugqibeni; wenza ngoko ukuba kulilwe yindawo enqatyisiweyo nodonga; zicubukile kunye.

9Amasango ayo atshonile emhlabeni; wonakalisile imivalo yayo, wayapula: ukumkani wayo nenkosana zayo bapakati kwabaheyideni: akuseko umteto; kanjalo abaprofite bayo abazuzi umboniso kuyehova.

10Abadala bentombi yase‐Ziyone bahleli pantsi emhlabeni, bati tu; baposile utuli pezu kwentloko zabo, bazibinqile ngentlakantlaka: intombi zipela zase‐Yerusaleme ziyatokombisa ngasemhlabeni intloko zazo.

11Amehlo am ayapela zinyembezi, amatumbu am axapazele, isibindi sam sipalele ngasemhlabeni, ngenxa yokwapuka kwentombi yabantu bam; ngokuba intsatshana nentsana zisiwa ezitarateni zesixeko.

12Ziti konina: Ipina inqolowa neveyine? nxa zisiwa njengenxweleṙa ezitarateni zesixeko; nxa umpefumlo wazo utululelwa esifubeni sonina.

13Ndokunqi̔nela nto nina? ndokufanisa nanto nina, ntombi yase‐Yerusaleme? ndokulinganisa nanto nina, ukuba ndikututuzele, wena ntombi ipela yase‐Ziyone? ngokuba isapuko sako sikulu njengolwandle; ngubanina ongakupolisayo?

14Abaprofite bako bakubonele okungendawo nobudenge: abatyilanga inkohlakalo yako, ukuba kubuyiswe ukutinjwa kwako: kodwa bakubonele imitwalo ebuxoki nezigxotiso.

15Bonke abadlula endleleni bayenza intlombe ngezandla pezu kwako; bayenza amakwelo, bayahlunguzela intloko, pezu kwentombi yase‐Yerusaleme, besiti: Sisixeko esi na ekutiwe sikupela kwobuhle, siluvuyo kuwo wonke umhlaba?

16Zonke intshaba zako ziyakwakamela ngomlomo wazo; ziyenza amakwelo, ziyatshixiza ngamazinyo; ziti: Si yi gqibile; okunene lo ungumhla siwukangeleyo; sesifumene, sesibonile.

17Wenzile uyehova oko wakuqingayo; ufezile ilizwi lake, elo walixelayo kwa semihleni yakudala; uwisile, engabanga nanceba; notshaba uluvuyisile pezu kwako; ulupakamisile upondo lwabayimpi kuwe.

18Intliziyo yabo yakala kwinkosi, isiti: Ludonga lwentombi yase‐Ziyone! yenza inyembezi zityityizele njengomsinga imini nobusuku; ungaziniki ukupumla; malungapezi ukozo lweliso lako.

19Suka, danduluka ebusuku, ekuqaleni kwamavaṙasho; palaza intliziyo yako njengamanzi pambi kwobuso benkosi; pakamisela ngakuyo izandla zako ngenxa yobomi bentsatshana zako, eziwayo ngokulamba encameni yezitarate zonke.

20Bona, Yehova! ukangele lowo ungubanina wenje njalo kuye: abafazi baya kudla isixakato sabo na, intsatshana zokutwalwa ezandleni? umperisite nomprofite baya kubulawa na endaweni engcwele yenkosi?

21Abafana namaxego balele pezu kwomhlaba ezitarateni; ziwile ngeṙele intombi zipela zam, namadodana am: usikile ngomhla wengqumbo yako; ubulele ke, ungabanga nanceba.

22Ubizile njengasemhleni womtendeleko izoyiko zam eziṙaulayo; kwaza kwati ngomhla wengqumbo kayehova, akwabiko osindileyo noseleyo: abo ndibasingatileyo nendibakulisileyo lubagqibele utshaba lwam.
