Idorobho elitjhiyiweko
1Maye, linesizungu idorobho,
elalihlala liphithizela abantu!
Awu, sese lifana nomhlolokazi,
yena ebegade amkhulu phakathi kwezizwe!
Gade liyindlovukazi phakathi kweemfunda,
kwanjesi sele lisisembamgodi.
2Ebusuku likhihla isililo,
iinyembezi zehle emihlathinalo.
Phakathi kwazo zoke iinthandwa zalo,
asikho nesisodwa esiliduduzako.
Boke abangani balo balirhwalile,
baphenduke izitha zalo.
3UJuda uye ekuthunjweni ngeenhlungu
nangokusebenza nzima.
Gadesi uhlala hlangana nezizwe,
angafunyani indawo yokuphumula;
boke abamgijimisako bamthelekela
aseensizini zakhe.
4Iindlela eziya eZiyoni ziyalila
ngombana akakho oza eminyanyeni;
woke amasangwalo akanabantu,
abaphristi balo bayaquma,
amatlawanalo ayabubula,
nalo linobumunyu.
5Izitha zalo ziyihloko
amanabalo ayaphumelela
ngombana uSomnini ulihlunguphazile
ngeemphambeko zalo ezinenginengi.
Abantwabalo baye ekuthunjweni
baragwa sisitha.
6Boke ubukhosi balo
busukile endodakazini yeZiyoni.
Amakhosanalo afana neenhlangumataka
ezingafunyani amadlelo
zigijima zinganamandla
phambi kwabazigijimisako.
7Emihleni yokuhlunguphazwa nokundinda kwalo,
iJerusalema likhumbula zoke izinto ezihle
ebekungezalo emihleni yakade.
Lokha abantu balo nabawela ezandleni zezitha,
azange kwaba khona olisizako,
izitha zaliqala zahleka ukuwa kwalo.
8IJerusalema lone khulu,
nje-ke, sese liphenduke isihlekiso.
Boke ebebalihlonipha sele balidelela
ngombana balibonele.
Nalo ngokwalo liyaquma, lifulathele.
9Ukusilaphala kwalo bekuseemvunulweni zalo,
lokha nalonako azange licabange ngekusasa lalo.
Ukuwa kwalo bekuphazamisa khulu
ngombana belinganamduduzi.
Lathi: “Maye Somnini,
akhe uqale iinhlungu zami
ngombana isitha singihlulile!”
10Isitha selulele isandla saso
phezu kwawo woke amagugwalo
begodu libone izizwe
zizingenela endawenalo ecwengileko,
wena Somnini owayala
kobana zingangeni ehlanganwenakho.
11Boke abantu balo bayabubula
nabafunana nesikwa,
banana amagugwabo ngokugoma
ukuze bavuselele umphefumulo.
Qala Somnini, ubone
kobana angisenabubhadekelo.
12Noke nina enidlula ngendlela,
akutjho litho kini lokhu na?
Qalani nibone
nakube kunesizi elifana nelameli,
engapharwa ngalo,
iye, uSomnini angihlunguphaza ngalo
ngelanga letukuthelwakhe evuthako.
13Wathumela umlilo uvela phezulu,
wawehlisela emathanjenami,
wendlalela iinyawo zami inede,
wangibuyisela emuva.
Wangitjhiya nginganabuyo,
imini yoke ngibuthakathaka.
14Wangibophelela ijogi leemphambeko zami,
iye, ngesandla sakhe bezibotjhelelwe ndawonye.
Zabekwa entanyenami
ngaphelelwa mamandla.
USomandla wanginikela
kilabo engingeze ngajamelana nabo.
15USomandla ulahle abosaziwako bami
ngaphakathi kwami;
wamemezela isikhathi sokuvuna phezu kwami
kobana abhule amasokanami.
USomandla ugadange itlawu lakwaJuda,
njengebutlhodlhelweni bewayini.
16Ngiyalila ngezintwezi,
ilihlo, iye, ilihlo lami liwuluka iinyembezi;
mbala, umduduzi ukude nami,
okunguye ongavuselela umphefumulo.
Abantwabami abanabuyo
ngombana isitha sihlulile.
17IZiyoni likhongozele,
kodwana alinamduduzi.
USomnini uyale ngoJakopo
kobana abamzombileko babe zizitha;
iJerusalema sele lisinyenyiso
phakathi kwabo.
18USomnini ulungile
ngombana ngihlubuke ilizwi.
Lalelani noke nina zizwe,
niyelele isizi lami:
Amatlawu namasokanami
asiwe ekuthunjweni.
19Ngabiza iinthandwa zami
kodwana zona zangihlamuka.
Abaphristi nabaphathi bami
babhubhela ngedorobheni
nabasazifunela kokugoma
kobana bavuselele umphefumulwabo.
20Qala Somnini, ngisesizini!
Isisu sami siyasika
nehliziyo ngaphakathi kwami iwurubajekile
ngombana ngihlubuke khulu.
Endledlaneni isabula ingilobisele abantwana,
ngekumbeni kunokufa kwaphela!
21Somnini, yizwa ukububula kwami
ngombana anginamduduzi.
Zoke izitha zami zezwa ngamatshwenyekwami,
zajabula kobana nguwe owangehlisela wona.
Ilanga owalimemezelako ulilethile.
Nazo azibe njengami.
22Akuthi zoke izenzo zazo ezimbi
zibe phambi kwakho
nazo uzenze owasenza kimi
ngebanga lazo zoke iimphambeko zami.
Mbala, ukububula kwami kukhulu
nehliziywami idanile.
