ISILILO 4

Ukuhlunguphazwa kweZiyoni
1Maye, igolide elidarhileko lifiphele,
iye, igolidembala!
Amatje acwengileko arhatjhekile
emajikeni wazo zoke iindledlana.
2Amadodana weZiyoni aligugu
ebegade alinganiswa negolidembala,
gadesi sele afaniswa nemijeka
okumsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!
3Ngitjho neempungutjha ziyehlisa
kobana zimunyise imindlwanazo,
kodwana amadodakazi wekhethu akanasirhawu
njengeenciliba erhalawumbeni.
4Ngebanga lokoma amalimu wamasana
anamathela kurhwalabha;
abantwana bakhombela isikwa
kodwana akunamuntu obahlephulelako.
5Labo abakhe bagoma iinkhanakhana
bagelagela eendledlaneni batlhaphile.
Iye, labo ebebembatha ezibubende
gadesi baphendla ezaleni.
6Isibetho secala labantu bami,
sikhulu kunesesono seSodoma
eyaketulwa ngomzuzwana
ngaphandle kwesandla somuntu.
7Amakhosana wakhona
gade adarhe ukwedlula iliqhwa,
amhlophe ukwedlula ibisi,
imizimbawo ikhanya ukwedlula amarubi,
ukuvela kwawo kunjengamasafaya.
8Kodwana kwanjesi sese anzima kunomsizi,
akasafaniseki eendledlaneni.
Isikhumba sawo sinamathele emathanjenawo,
sirhwatjhe inga sigodo.
9Abahlatjwe ngesabula bangcono khulu
kunababulawa yindlala;
baqedwe liphango, baphela amandla
ngokuswela umkhiqizo wemasimini.
10Izandla zabafazi abanesirhawu
zapheka abantwababo;
ababa kukudla kwabo
lokha abantu bami nabaphodlhekako.
11USomnini uphelelise itukuthelwakhe,
uthulule ilaka lakhe elivuthako:
Uvuthise umlilo eZiyoni
oqothule iinsekelo zalo.
12Amakhosi, ngitjho nabo boke abahlali bephasi,
azange bakholwe
kobana izitha namanaba angangena
emasangweni weJerusalema.
13Kwenzeka ngebanga lezono zabaphorofidi balo
namacala wabaphristi balo,
abathulula iingazi zabalungileko
ngaphakathi kwalo.
14Nje-ke bazulazula eendledlaneni,
njengabantu abangaboniko.
Basilaphazwe ziingazi
kangangobana akakho othinta ingubabo.
15“Sukani! Nisilaphele!”
Iye, abantu bathi kibo:
“Sukani! Sukani! Ningasithinti!”
Nje-ke basuka, bazulazula.
Hlangana nezizwe abantu bathi:
“Bangasakhonza lapha!”
16USomnini ngokwakhe ubahlakazile,
akasazobatjheja.
Abantu abasahloniphi abaphristi
begodu abasathandi abaphathi.
17Amehlwethu afiphele ngokurhuluphela isizo,
kodwana kulilize lakolize.
Siseenthaleni zethu saqala isizwe esingasiza,
kodwana azange sibe khona esingasindisa.
18Isitha sasihlala eenthendeni
besabhalelwa kukhamba eendledlaneni zethu.
Isiphetho sethu besele sitjhidele
namalangethu sele abaliwe,
iye, isiphetho sethu sifikile.
19Abasigijimisako bebanebelo
kunamakhozi emkayini,
basilandelela basikhweza iintaba,
basilalela erhalawumbeni.
20Ozesiweko kaSomnini, okuphila kwethu,
wabanjwa emgodini wezifu zabo;
iye, esadlumbana ngaye bona
emthunzinakhe sizakuhlala hlangana nezizwe.
21Jekezela uthabe ndodakazi ye-Edomu;
wena ohlala enarheni ye-Utsi.
Kodwana nakuwe ikapho izakufika;
uzakudakwa, uzihlubulise.
22Ndodakazi yeZiyoni,
isibetho secala lakho siphelele;
uSomnini akasazokwembula.
Kodwana wena ndodakazi ye-Edomu,
uSomnini uzakuhlunguphaza ngecala lakho,
embule isono sakho.
