IJerusalema liyabhujiswa
1Yeka indlela uJehova amboza ngayo indodakazi yaseSiyoni ngokuthukuthela kwakhe ngefu, wawisa ubuhle buka-Israyeli emhlabeni busuka ezulwini, futhi akasikhumbulanga isenabelo sezinyawo zakhe ngosuku lwentukuthelo yakhe!
2UJehova wagwinya zonke izindlu zikaJakobe, akaba namusa kuye; ngentukuthelo yakhe yadiliza izinqaba zendodakazi yakwaJuda; Wabayisa emhlabathini; Wangcolisa umbuso nezikhulu zawo.
3Ngokufutheka kwayo yachitha lonke uphondo luka-Israyeli, yasibuyisa isandla sayo sokunene esitheni sayo, yashisa phezu kukaJakobe njengomlilo ovuthayo odla inhlangothi zonke.
4Wansala umnsalo wakhe njengesitha; Wema ngesandla sakhe sokunene njengesitha, wabulala konke okubonakala emehlweni etendeni lendodakazi yaseSiyoni; Wathulula ulaka lwakhe njengomlilo.
5UJehova unjengesitha, wadla u-Israyeli, wadla zonke izindlu zakhe zobukhosi;
6Wasusa itabernakele lakhe ngamandla, kungathi lingaphandle kwensimu; wachitha izindawo zakhe zokubuthana; UJehova ukhohliwe imikhosi namasabatha eZiyoni, nangokuvutha kolaka lwakhe udelele inkosi nompristi.
7INkosi ililahlile i-altare layo, yanengwa yindlu yayo engcwele, yanikela izingange zezindlu zayo zamakhosi esandleni sesitha; babanga umsindo endlini kaJehova njengosuku lomkhosi.
8UJehova wahlosa ukudiliza ugange lwendodakazi yaseSiyoni; Welula umucu wokulinganisa, isandla sakhe asihlehlanga ukubhubhisa; ngalokho wenza ukuba kukhale imiduli nogange; baphelelwa amandla kanyekanye.
9Amasango alo acwile emhlabathini; imigoqo yakhe wayichitha, wayiphula; inkosi yalo nezikhulu zalo baphakathi kwezizwe; umthetho awusekho; abaprofethi bawo ababufumani ubuso bukaJehova.
10Amalunga endodakazi yaseSiyoni ahlezi emhlabathini, athule; bazithela ngothuli emakhanda abo; babhinca izingubo zokulila; izintombi zaseJerusalema zilengisa amakhanda azo emhlabathini.
11Amehlo ami ayaphela izinyembezi, izibilini zami ziyathuthumela, isibindi sami silahlwe emhlabeni ngenxa yokuchithwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami; ngokuba abantwana nabancane bayaquleka emigwaqweni yomuzi.
12Bathi konina: “Uphi ukolweni newayini na?” lapho bedangala njengabalimele ezitaladini zomuzi, lapho umphefumulo wabo uthululelwa ezifubeni zonina.
13Kufanele ngithatheni ukuze ngifakaze kini? Ngingafanisa nani ndodakazi yaseJerusalema na? ngiyakubonani kuwe, ukuze ngikududuze, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni na? ngoba ukufohla kwakho kukhulu njengolwandle; ngubani ongakuphilisa?
14Abaprofethi bakho babone izinto eziyize neziwubuwula ngawe, futhi ababubonakalisanga ububi bakho ukuze banqande ukuthunjwa kwakho; kodwa ngakubona imithwalo yamanga lezinto zokudingiswa.
15Bonke abadlulayo bashaya ihlombe; bashaya ikhwelo, benqekuzisa amakhanda endodakazini yaseJerusalema, bathi: “Yiwo lo muzi abantu abawubiza ngokuthi ngobuhle obuphelele, intokozo yomhlaba wonke na?
16Zonke izitha zakho zikuvulele imilomo yazo; bashaya ikhwelo bagedle amazinyo; bathi: Sayidla; impela lolu wusuku ebesilulindile; sayithola, sayibona.
17UJehova wenza njengokucabanga kwakhe; Wafeza izwi lakhe ayala ngalo ezinsukwini zasendulo: Wawisa, akabanga namusa; futhi Wenza isitha senu sajabula ngani, waphakamisa uphondo lwezitha zenu.
18Izinhliziyo zabo zakhala eNkosini, wena ludonga lwendodakazi yaseSiyoni, izinyembezi mazigeleze imini nobusuku njengomfula; ungayeki inhlamvu yeso lakho.
19Vuka, ukhale ebusuku; thulula inhliziyo yakho njengamanzi phambi kukaJehova ekuqaleni kwemilindo; phakamisela kuye izandla zakho ngenxa yokuphila kwabantwana bakho abafa yindlala ezingqongeni zonke zemigwaqo.
20Bheka, Jehova, ubone ukuthi wenze kubani lokhu. Ingabe abesifazane bazodla izithelo zabo kanye nezingane isikhathi eside? umpristi nomprofethi bayakubulawa endlini engcwele kaJehova na?
21Abancane nabadala balele phansi emigwaqweni; izintombi zami nezinsizwa zami ziwile ngenkemba; Wababulala ngosuku lwentukuthelo yakho; wabulala, wangabi nazwelo.
22Wabiza izesaba zami nxazonke njengosuku lomkhosi, kwaze kwathi ngosuku lolaka lukaJehova akubangakho owaphunyukayo noma owasalayo;
