IsiLilo 4
Kuzokwenzekani kubantu abangamaJuda?
1Yeka indlela igolide elibuthuntu ngayo! igolide elicwengekileyo liguqulwa kanjani! amatshe endlu engcwele achithekile eziqongweni zazo zonke izitaladi.
2Amadodana ayigugu aseSiyoni alingana negolide elihle, yeka ukuthi abhekwa njengezitsha zebumba, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!
3Ngisho nezilo zasolwandle zikhipha amabele azo, zincelise amazinyane azo; indodakazi yabantu bami isinonya njengezintshe zasogwadule.
4Ulimi lomunya lunamathela olwangeni lwakhe ngokoma; abantwana abancane bacela isinkwa, futhi akakho osihlephulayo.
5Abadlile kahle bangamaganga ezitaladini;
6Ngokuba isijeziso sobubi bendodakazi yabantu bami sikhulu kunesijeziso sesono saseSodoma elachithwa ngokuphazima kweso, kungasalanga zandla phezu kwalo.
7AmaNaziri alo ayehlanzekile kuneqhwa, ayemhlophe kunobisi, ebomvu ngomzimba kunamarubi, ukucwebeshwa kwawo kwakungokwesafire.
8Ubuso babo bumnyama kunelahle; abaziwa ezitaladini; isikhumba sabo sinamathela emathanjeni abo; yabuna, yaba njengenduku.
9Ababulewe ngenkemba bangcono kunababulawa yindlala, ngokuba laba bayabavula, benqotshiwe ngenxa yokuswela izithelo zensimu.
10Izandla zabesifazane abanomusa zaphuzisa abantwana babo; babe ngukudla kwabo ekubhujisweni kwendodakazi yabantu bami.
11UJehova ulugcwalisile ulaka lwakhe; Wathulula ukufutheka kwakhe, waphemba umlilo eSiyoni, waqeda izisekelo zalo.
12Amakhosi omhlaba kanye nabo bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni babengeke bakholwe ukuthi isitha nesitha kufanele bangene emasangweni eJerusalema.
13Ngenxa yezono zabaprofethi balo nobubi babapristi balo abachitha igazi labalungileyo phakathi kwalo;
14Bazulazula njengezimpumputhe ezitaladini, bazingcolisa ngegazi, ukuze abantu bangabe besathinta izingubo zabo.
15Basebememeza bathi: Hambani! ingcolile; sukani, sukani, ningathinti; lapho bebaleka bezulazula, bathi phakathi kwabezizwe: Kabayikugogobala khona;
16Intukuthelo kaJehova yabahlukanisa; akasayikubanaka; babengahloniphi ubuntu babapristi, babengawathandi amadoda amadala.
17Kepha thina, amehlo ethu asalokhu ephelile ukubheka usizo lwethu oluyize; ngokuqapha kwethu sibheke isizwe esingeke sisisindise.
18Bazingela izinyathelo zethu, ukuze singahambi ezitaladini zethu; ukuphela kwethu kuseduze, izinsuku zethu ziphelele; ngoba ukuphela kwethu sekufikile.
19Abasizingelayo banejubane kunezinkozi zezulu; basixosha ezintabeni, basilindela ehlane.
20Umoya wamakhala ethu, ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, wabanjwa emithonjeni yabo, esasho ngaye ukuthi: ‘Emthunzini wakhe siyakuhlala phakathi kwezizwe.
21Jabula, ujabule, ndodakazi yakwa-Edomi, ohlala ezweni lakithi; nendebe iyakudlula kuwe; uzodakwa futhi ube nqunu.
22Isijeziso sobubi bakho siphelele, ndodakazi yaseZiyoni! Akasayikukuyisa ekudingisweni; Uyakuhambela ububi bakho, ndodakazi yakwa-Edomi; uzakwambula izono zakho.
