Izililo 1
iYerusalem ifaniswa nomhlolokazi
1Hayi, ukuma komzi obemi khona! hayi indlela awayefana ngayo nomhlolokazi! Oyena mkhulu phakathi kweentlanga nokumkanikazi esahlukweni, utheni na ukuba abe ngumgwebi! 2Ulila kakhulu ebusuku, iinyembezi zakhe zisezidleleni zakhe; kuzo zonke izithandwa zakhe akukho mthuthuzeli; Bonke abahlobo bakhe bamngcatshile baza baba ziintshaba zakhe. 3uYuda wathinjwa ngenxa yokubandezeleka nangenxa yobukhoboka obuninzi; uhleli ezintlangeni, akabuboni ukuphumla; bonke abasukeli bakhe bambamba enyanyeni. 4Izitrato zaseZiyon ziyakhala, ngokuba akukho namnye uzayo emithendelekweni; onke amasango ayo aludaka; ababingeleli bakhe bayancwina, Iintombi zakhe zinosizi, yena ebuhlungu. 5Abachasi bakhe baninzi, ababandezeli bakhe banempumelelo; ngokuba uYehova wamxina ngenxa yezikreqo zakhe ezininzi; oonyana bakhe bathinjwa phambi kweentshaba. 6Bonke ubuhle bayo buphumile entombini enguZiyon; 7iYerusalem yazikhumbula, ngexesha leshwangusha layo neentsizi zayo, zonke izinto zayo ezinqwenelekayo ebinazo kwamandulo, Ekuweni kwabantu bayo phambi kotshaba, akwabakho mncedi; Abachasi bambona baza bahlekisa ngaye ngeesabatha zakhe. 8iYerusalem yenze isono esikhulu; wasuswa ke ngoko; Bonke ababelihlonela babelidela, kuba bebona ukungcola kwalo; ewe wancwina wajonga ngasemva. 9Ubunqambi bakhe busezingutyeni zakhe; akacingi ngekamva lakhe lokugqibela; ke ngoko, wemka ngendlela engaqhelekanga, engenamncedi. Yehova yibone inkxwaleko yam, ngokuba utshaba luzizukisile. 10Utshaba lwesa isandla salo phezu kwezinto zalo zonke ezizithandayo, ngenxa enokuba libona iintlanga zingena engcweleni yakhe, owuwise umthetho wena, ukuba zingangeni ebandleni lakho. 11Bonke abantu bakhe bayancwina, befuna isonka; babanika iilekese njengokutya kokuhlaziya umoya; yabona, Yehova, zigcine; ngokuba ndisuke ndaba ngongendawo. 12Akunto na kuni nonke nina nidlula ngendlela? Khangelani nibone, ukuba kukho na umvandedwa onjengam, wenziweyo kum, andicinezele ngawo uYehova ngemini yomsindo wakhe. 13Ephezulu, wathumela umlilo emathanjeni am, wawagubungela; Uzithiyele iinyawo zam, wandiguqula; Ebendiphethe kakubi ndidiniwe imini yonke. 14Idyokhwe yezikreqo zam ibotshwe sisandla sakhe; Uwaphule amandla am, uYehova undinikele esandleni sabo, endingenakusuka kubo. 15uYehova uwanyhashe onke amagorha phakathi kwam; Umeme ibandla ukuba laphule amadodana am; iNkosi yam ixovule intombi enguYuda, njengesixovulelo sewayini. 16Ndiyazilela ezi zinto; iliso lam, iliso lam liphalaza amanzi, Ngokuba ekude kum umthuthuzeli owenza umphefumlo wam; Babhidekile abantwana bam, ngokuba utshaba loyisile. 17iZiyon iyazolula izandla zayo, ayinamthuthuzeli; uYehova wawisa umthetho ngoYakobi, ukuba bamtyelele ngaphakathi; iYerusalem injengomfazi osexesheni phakathi kwabo. 18uYehova ulilungisa; ngokuba bendiphikise umlomo wakhe. 19Ndibabizile abandithandayo, basuka bandixokisa; ababingeleli bam namadoda amakhulu am bazinikele kuwo umzi, xa babefuna ukudla kwabo, ukuba bawubuyise umphefumlo wabo. 20Khangela, Yehova! ngokuba ndibandezelekile; isisu sam asiphumli; Intliziyo yam iguqukile phakathi kwam; ngokuba bendiqhayisa kakhulu; ngaphandle baphanga umkhonto, Endlwini kukufa njengokufa. 21Bandivile ukuba ndiyancwina; akukho bani undithuthuzelayo; Zonke iintshaba zam zibuvile ububi bam; bayavuya kuba eyenzile; Uya kuyizisa imini oyimemileyo, ziya kuba njengam ke. 22Mabufike phambi kwakho bonke ububi bazo; uze wenze kuzo kanye njengoko undenze ngako ngenxa yokunxaxha kwam konke, ngenxa yokuba zininzi izono zam nentliziyo yam ivaliwe.
