Sono saseJerusalema nekutsetselelwa kwayo
1Nako kulelo dolobha lebacindzeteli,
labahlubukako nalabangcolile!
2 Alihloniphi muntfu,
alivumi kucondziswa.
Aletsembeli kuSimakadze.
alisondzeli kuNkulunkulu walo.
3 Tiphatsimandla talo tingemabhubesi labhodlako,
tikhulu talo titimphisi takusihlwa,
letingashiyi lutfo lwangakusasa ekuseni.
4 Baphrofethi balo bayatigcabha;
bangemadvodza labotulujane.
Baphristi balo bahlazisa indzawo lengcwele,
bephule umtsetfo waNkulunkulu.
5 Simakadze ulungile ekhatsi kwalelidolobha;
akenti lutfo lolungakalungi.
Kusa ngekusa bantfu bakhe ubaphatsa ngekungakhetsi,
kulelo nakulelo langa lelisha
akayekeli kwehlulela ngebucotfo,
noko labangakalungi abalati lihlazo.
6“Tive ngiticedzile,
tinqaba tato tibhidlitiwe.
Titaladi tato ngitishiye tikhala libhungane,
kute namunye lowendlula ngato.
Emadolobha ato abhujisiwe;
kute namunye lotawusala kulo,
kute namunye.
7Ngakhuluma kulelidolobha, ngatsi:
‘Impela, uyawungesaba uvume kucondziswa!’
Lendzawo yalo-ke ingeke icitfwe,
kantsi netijeziso tami tonkhe
tingeke tehliselwe etikwalo.
Kodvwa babesolo banenshisekelo
yekukwenta ngebubi konkhe labakwentako.”
8 Simakadze utsi:
“Ngako-ke ngimeleni,
ngalelo langa ngiyawuma ngifakaze.
Ngincume kuhlanganisa tive,
ngibutsele ndzawonye imibuso,
bese ngitfululela lulaka lwami etikwato,
yonkhe intfukutselo yami leyesabekako.
Umhlaba wonkhe uyawubhujiswa
ngemlilo wekukhweleta kwentfukutselo yami.
9 “Tindzebe tetive ngiyawube sengiyatihlambulula-ke,
kuze kutsi bonkhe lababite
libito laSimakadze, bacela lusito kuye,
bamkhonte bahlangene lihlombe ngelihlombe.
10“Kusukela ngesheya kwemifula yaseKushe tikhonti tami,
bantfu bami labasakatekile,
bayawungiletsela iminikelo.
11Ngalelo langa ungeke udliwe ngemahloni
ngako konkhe lokubi lokwentile kimi,
ngobe kulelidolobha ngiyawubesusa
labo labajabula ngeligcabho labo.
Ungeke uphindze utigcabhe
etikwaleligcuma lami lelingcwele.
12 Kodvwa ngiyawushiya ekhatsi kuwe
labamnene nalabatfobekile,
labetsembele kulo libito laSimakadze.
13 “Imisalela yaka-Israyeli ingeke ikwente lokubi;
ingeke iwakhulume emanga,
nenkhohlakalo ingeke itfolakale emilonyeni yayo.
Lemisalela iyakudla, icambalale phansi,
kute futsi umuntfu loyakuyesabisa.”
Ingoma yekujabula
14 Hlabela, Ndvodzakati yaseSiyoni;
memeta kakhulu, wena Israyeli!
Jabula utfokote ngayo yonkhe inhlitiyo yakho,
Ndvodzakati yaseJerusalema!
15 Simakadze usisusile sijeziso sakho,
watincandzekisa netitsa takho.
Simakadze, iNkhosi yaka-Israyeli, inawe;
ungeke uphindze wesabe nome nguyiphi ingoti.
16Ngalelo langa bayawusho kuyo iJerusalema, batsi:
“Ungesabi, Siyoni,
netandla takho ungatiyeketsisi.
17 Simakadze Nkulunkulu wakho unawe,
unemandla ekusindzisa.
Uyawukujabulela kakhulu wena,
uyawukupha kuthula ngelutsandvo lwakhe;
uyawukujabulela ngekuhlabela.”
18“Tinsizi temadzili labekiwe
ngiyakutisusa kuwe;
tingumtfwalo nelihlazo kuwe.
19 Ngaleso sikhatsi ngiyawubajezisa
bonkhe labo lababekucindzetela;
labachutako ngiyawubaphephisa,
ngibabutse bonkhe labo labebasakatiwe.
Ngiyawubadvumisa ngibatisise emhlabeni wonkhe
lapho bebahlazeke khona.
20 Ngaleso sikhatsi ngiyawunibutsa;
ngaleso sikhatsi ngiyawunibuyisela ekhaya.
Ngiyawuninika kuhlonipheka neludvumo
emkhatsini wato tonkhe tive temhlaba,
nase nginibuyisela tinhlanhla tenu
embikwemehlo enu nibuka,” kusho Simakadze.
