Ukusindiswa kwendodakazi yaseSiyoni ekuthunjweni
1 Ngenxa yeSiyoni angiyikuthula,
nangenxa yeJerusalema angiyikuphumula,
ukulunga kwalo kungakaphumi njengokukhanya
nokusindiswa kwalo njengesibani esivuthayo.
2 Izizwe ziyakubona ukulunga kwakho,
namakhosi onke inkazimulo yakho;
uyakubizwa ngegama elisha
eliyakunqunywa ngumlomo kaJehova.
3Uyakuba ngumqhele wodumo esandleni sikaJehova,
neqhele lobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.
4 Awusayikuthiwa Oshiyiweyo,
nezwe lakini alisayikuthiwa iNcithakalo,
kepha uyakubizwa ngokuthi Ontokozo yami ikuye,
nezwe lakini ngokuthi Oganileyo,
ngokuba uJehova uyathokoza ngawe,
nezwe lakini lendile.
5 Ngokuba njengensizwa iganwa yintombi,
kanjalo amadodana akho ayakuganwa nguwe;
nanjengokuthokoza komyeni ngomakoti wakhe
uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthokoza ngawe.
6Ngimisile abalindi
phezu kwezingange zakho, Jerusalema;
abayikuthula nakanye imini nobusuku;
nina eningabakhumbuzi ngoJehova maningaphumuli,
7 futhi ningamniki ukuphumula,
aze akhe iJerusalema,
alibeke libe yindumiso emhlabeni.
8 UJehova ufungile ngesandla sakhe sokunene
nangengalo yamandla akhe, wathi:
“Impela angisayikuzinika izitha zakho
amabele akho abe ngukudla kwazo;
abezizwe abayikuliphuza iwayini lakho olikhandlekeleyo,
9kodwa abawaqoqileyo bayakuwadla,
bamdumise uJehova,
nabaliqoqileyo bayakuliphuza
emagcekeni endlu yami engcwele.”
10 Phumani, niphume ngamasango,
niyilungise indlela yabantu;
hlelani, niwuhlele umendo,
niwakhiphe amatshe;
niphakamisele izizwe ibhanela.*
11 Bhekani, uJehova uyezwakala
kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba, ethi:
“Yishoni kuyo indodakazi yaseSiyoni ukuthi:
‘Bheka, insindiso yakho iyeza.
Bheka, umvuzo wakhe unawo,
nenkokhelo yakhe iphambi kobuso bakhe.’ ”
12 Bayakubizwa ngokuthi abantu abangcwele,
abahlengiweyo bakaJehova;
wena uyakuthiwa Ofuniweyo,
uMuzi Ongashiyiwe.
