Ubuqaqawuli beZiyon bangaphambili nokucinezelwa kwayo ngoku
1Yoo! Isuke igolide yaba mncumevu;
isuke ecikizekileyo, elungileyo, yaba yeyimbi;
Asuke aphalazwa amatye engcwele ekujikeni kwezitrato zonke.
2AbeZiyon abanqabileyo, ábamelwe yigolide engcwengiweyo,
Yoo! Babalelwa ekubeni yimiphanda yodongwe, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi.
3Kanti neempungutye ziyalirhola ibele, zanyise amathole azo;
Ke yona intombi yabantu bakowethu isuke yaba sisijorha, njengenciniba entlango.
4Ulwimi losebeleni lunamathela ekhuhlangubeni lakhe linxano;
Abantwana bacela isonka, akukho ubaphulelayo.
5Ababesidla ubuncwane baphanzile ezitratweni;
Ababephathwa ngeengubo ezibomvu bawola amazala.
6Bukhulile ubugwenxa bentombi yakowethu ngaphezu kwesono seSodom,
Yona yabhukuqwáyo ngephanyazo, kungasiwanga sandla kuyo.
7Babeqaqambile ababalulekileyo bayo ngaphezu kwekhephu; baye bemhlophe ngaphezu kwamasi;
Babeyingqombela imizimba ngaphezu kwekorale,• isibili sabo besinjengesafire;•
8Imbonakalo yabo imnyama ngaphezu kocolothi;
Abanakaneki ezitratweni; ulùsu lwabo lutshele emathanjeni abo; lomile, lwanjengokhuni.
9Baneyhweba ababulewe ngekrele kunababulewe yindlala,
Bona baphelayo ngokubulawa kukungabikho kweziqhamo zamasimi.
10Izandla zabafazi abanemfesane zipheke abantwanana babo,
Baba kukudla kwabo ekwaphukeni kwentombi yabantu bakowethu.
11Úbuphelelisile ubushushu bakhe uYehova, ukuphalazile ukuvutha komsindo wakhe;
Wafaka umlilo eZiyon, wazitshisa iziseko zayo.
12Bebengenakukholwa ookumkani behlabathi, nabemi bonke belimiweyo.
Ukuba ubengángenayo umbandezeli notshaba emasangweni aseYerusalem.
13Kungenxa yezono zabaprofeti bayo, nobugwenxa bababingeleli bayo,
Abaphalazé igazi lamalungisa phakathi kwayo.
14Baphamzela beziimfama ezitratweni, bedyobhekile ligazi,
Bada abantu ababa nakuchukumisa nezambatho zabo.
15Sukani, nantso inqambi! Kwatshiwo ukumenyezwa kubo. Sukani, sukani, musani ukuphatha!
Bakùsaba, baphamzela nalapho, kwathiwa phakathi kweentlanga,
Mabangaphindi baphambukele khona.
16Ubuso bukaYehova bubachithachithile, akasayi kubabheka;
Ubuso bababingeleli ababubhekanga, amadoda amakhulu abawababalanga.
17Thina, amehlo ethu ayaphela, ekhangele uncedo olungamampunge;
Ekuboniseleni kwethu sibonisela uhlanga olungayi kusisindisa.
18Bazingela amanyathela ethu, ukuze singabi nakuhamba ezitratweni zethu;
Kusondele ukuphela kwethu, izalisekile imihla yethu; ewe, kufikile ukuphela kwethu.
19Abasisukelayo banamendu ngaphezu kwamaxhalanga asezulwini;
Basisukela ezintabeni ngokushushu, basilalela entlango.
20Umoya wamathatha ethu, umthanjiswa kaYehova, ubanjisiwe emihadini yabo:
Lowo besisithi, Siya kuhlala phantsi komthunzi wakhe ezintlangeni.
21Yiba nemihlali uvuye kambe, ntombi yakwaEdom, ihleliyo ezweni lakwaUtse;
Iya kudlulela nakuwe indebe; ùya kunxila, uzihlube.
22Bugqityiwe ubugwenxa bakho, ntombi inguZiyon;
Akayi kuphinda akufuduse;
Ùya kubuvelela ubugwenxa bakho, ntombi yakwaEdom.
Ùya kuzityhila izono zakho.
