1Hayi, ukuba mfiliba kwegolide! Hayi, ukuguquguquka kwegolide ecikizekileyo! amatye engcwele aphalazwe ezitratweni zonke.

2Zintanda, Ziyon, xa kuthelekiswa negolide engcwengiweyo, Hayi, ukubalelwa ekuthini zizitya zodongwe, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!

3Kwaneemlonya ziwarhola amabele, Zanyise amathole azo; Ke yona intombi yabantu bam isuke yaba sisijorha njengenciniba entlango.

4Ulwimi losana lunamathela ekhuhlangubeni lakhe linxano; Abantwana bacela isonka, akukho ubakhathaleleyo.

5Ababedlile babonakala ezitratweni;

6Kuba isohlwayo sobubi bentombi yabantu bam sikhulu kunesohlwayo sesono seSodom, eyabhukuqwayo ngephanyazo, akwabikho zandla ziseleyo kuyo.

7Babeqaqambile abaNaziri bakhe ngaphezu kwekhephu, bemhlophe ngaphezu kobisi, beyingqombela kuneerubhi emzimbeni, ukubengezela kwabo kunjengesafire.

8Ubuso babo bumnyama ngaphezu kwamalahle; Abanakwa ezitratweni; ulusu lwabo lutshele emathanjeni abo; yoma yanjengentonga.

9Abo babulewe ngekrele balunge ngakumbi kunabo babulawa yindlala, ngenxa yokuba ngabo baluvulayo ucango, boyisiwe ngenxa yokunqongophala kweziqhamo zelizwe.

10Izandla zomfazi onenceba ziseza abantwana; kukudla kwabo ekubhujisweni kwentombi yabantu bam.

11uYehova uwufezile umsindo wakhe; Uwuphalazile umsindo wakhe waza wafaka umlilo eZiyon, wazitshisa neziseko zayo.

12Bebengayi kukholwa ookumkani belimiweyo, nabemi bonke belimiweyo, ukuba amasango aseYerusalem alutshaba;

13ngenxa yezono zabaprofeti bakhe, nangenxa yezinto ezimbi zababingeleli bakhe, abaphalaza igazi lamalungisa kuyo;

14Babebhadula ezitalatweni njengeemfama, bedyobhekile ligazi, ukuze abantu bangabi nakuchukumisa neempahla zabo.

15Bathi kuwo, Hambani; ayicocekanga; mkani, mkani, musani ukuphatha; ekubalekeni kwabo, babhadula ezintlangeni, bathi, Abayi kubuya baphambukele khona.

16Umsindo kaYehova wabahlula; akasayi kuba sabakhangela; abakhange babe nesimilo sababingeleli, bengawathandi amadoda amakhulu.

17Thina, amehlo ethu akhangele uncedo lwethu olungamampunge; ngokuqaphela kwethu sasilindele isizwe esingenako ukusigcina.

18Bazingela amanyathela ethu, ukuba singahambi ezitratweni zethu; ngokuba kufikile ukuphela kwethu.

19Abasisukelayo banamendu ngaphezu kwexhalanga lezulu;

20Umoya wamathatha ethu, umthanjiswa kaYehova, ubambeke equleni labo, ebesithi ngaye, Siya kuhlala emthunzini wakhe ezintlangeni.

21Yiba nemihlali ugcobe, ntombi yakwaEdom, uhleliyo ezweni lakowethu; idlule phezu kwakho indebe; uya kunxila ukhulule.

22Isohlwayo sobungendawo bakho sigqityiwe, ntombi yaseZiyon! Akayi kuphinda athimbe; Ubuvelelele ububi bakho, ntombi yakwaEdom! uya kuzityhila izono zakho.
