IJerusalema lifaniswa nomfelokazi
1Yeka ukuthi umuzi owawugcwele abantu uhlezi wodwa kanjani! ukuthi waba kanjani njengomfelokazi! elalilikhulu phakathi kwezizwe nendodakazi yenkosi phakathi kwezifunda, yeka ukuthi libe ngumthelisi!
2Ukhala kakhulu ebusuku, izinyembezi zakhe zisezihlathini zakhe; phakathi kwazo zonke izithandwa zakhe akakho omduduzayo; bonke abangane balo bamkhohlisile, baba yizitha zalo.
3UJuda waya ekudingisweni ngenxa yosizi nangenxa yobugqila obukhulu; uhlala phakathi kwezizwe, kakutholi ukuphumula; bonke abashushisi balo balifica endaweni engenalutho.
4Izindlela zaseSiyoni ziyalila, ngokuba akukho muntu oza edilini; onke amasango awo ayincithakalo; abapristi balo bayabubula, izintombi zalo zilusizi, nalo linomunyu.
5Izitha zalo zinkulu, izitha zalo zinothile; ngokuba uJehova walicindezela ngenxa yobuningi beziphambeko zalo; abantwana bakhe bathunjwa phambi kwesitha.
6Bonke ubuhle bayo buphumile endodakazini yaseSiyoni;
7Ezinsukwini zosizi lwayo iJerusalema lakhumbula zonke izinto zalo ezithandekayo elalinakho ezinsukwini zasendulo, lapho abantu balo bewela esandleni sesitha, kungekho muntu owalisiza; izitha zayibona zayiklolodela. Ngamasabatha akhe.
8IJerusalema lonile kakhulu; ngalokho wasuswa; bonke ababelidumisa balidelela, ngokuba babone ubunqunu balo; yebo wabubula wabuyela emuva.
9Ukungcola kwakhe kusezigqokweni zakhe; akacabangi ngesiphetho sakhe sokugcina; ngakho lahamba ngokumangalisayo, lingelamduduzi. Jehova, bheka usizi lwami, ngokuba isitha sizikhulisile.
10Isitha selulele isandla saso phezu kwazo zonke izinto zalo ezithandekayo, ngoba libona ukuthi abezizwe babengena endlini yalo engcwele, owazilaya ukuthi bangangeni ebandleni lakho.
11Bonke abantu bakhe bayabubula, bafuna isinkwa; babanika okumnandi njengokudla kokunciphisa umphefumulo; bheka, Jehova, unake; ngoba sengikhohlakele.
12Akulutho yini kini nonke enidlulayo? bhekani, nibone, uma lukhona usizi olunjengosizi lwami engabuzwa ngalo uJehova wangicindezela ngalo ngosuku lwentukuthelo yakhe.
13Ephezulu wathumela umlilo emathanjeni ami, wawaqeda; Wenekela izinyawo zami inetha, wangibuyisela; Wangenza isichitho futhi ngikhathele usuku lonke.
14Ijoka leziphambeko zami liboshwe ngesandla sakhe; Uwisile amandla ami, uJehova unginikele esandleni sabo, engingenakusukuma kubo.
15UJehova uwanyathele phansi onke amaqhawe ami phakathi kwami; ungibizele umhlangano wokuchoboza izinsizwa zami; uJehova unyathele phansi intombi, indodakazi yakwaJuda, njengasesikhamweni sewayini.
16Ngenxa yalezi zinto ngiyakhala; iso lami, iso lami liyaconsa amanzi, ngokuba umduduzi oyakukhanyisela umphefumulo wami ukude nami; abantwana bami bayaphithizela, ngokuba isitha sinqobile.
17IZiyoni lelula izandla zalo, alikho oliduduzayo; UJehova wayala ngoJakobe ukuba izitha zakhe zibe nxazonke zakhe; IJerusalema linjengowesifazane osesikhathini phakathi kwabo.
18UJehova ulungile; ngokuba ngahlubuka emyalezweni wakhe.
19Ngabiza izithandwa zami, kodwa zangikhohlisa;
20Bheka, Jehova! ngokuba ngisosizini; amathumbu ami awaphumuli; inhliziyo yami iphendukile phakathi kwami; ngoba ngahlubuka kakhulu; ngaphandle uphanga inkemba, ekhaya kunjengokufa.
21Bezwa ukuthi ngiyabubula; akakho ongiduduzayo; zonke izitha zami zizwile ngosizi lwami; bayajabula ngokuthi ukwenzile; Uzoletha usuku owalubiza ngalo, futhi bayoba njengami.
22Mabufike bonke ububi babo phambi kwakho; wenze kubo njengalokho wenzile kimi ngenxa yazo zonke iziphambeko zami, ngokuba ukububula kwami kuningi, nenhliziyo yami ibuthuntu.
