IsiLilo 2 IJerusalema liyabhujiswa

¹ Yeka indlela uJehova amboza ngayo indodakazi yaseSiyoni ngokuthukuthela kwakhe ngefu, wawisa ubuhle buka-Israyeli emhlabeni busuka ezulwini, futhi akasikhumbulanga isenabelo sezinyawo zakhe ngosuku lwentukuthelo yakhe!

² UJehova wagwinya zonke izindlu zikaJakobe, akaba namusa kuye; ngentukuthelo yakhe yadiliza izinqaba zendodakazi yakwaJuda; Wabayisa emhlabathini; Wangcolisa umbuso nezikhulu zawo.

³ Ngokufutheka kwayo yachitha lonke uphondo luka-Israyeli, yasibuyisa isandla sayo sokunene esitheni sayo, yashisa phezu kukaJakobe njengomlilo ovuthayo odla inhlangothi zonke.

⁴ Wansala umnsalo wakhe njengesitha; Wema ngesandla sakhe sokunene njengesitha, wabulala konke okubonakala emehlweni etendeni lendodakazi yaseSiyoni; Wathulula ulaka lwakhe njengomlilo.

⁵ UJehova unjengesitha, wadla u-Israyeli, wadla zonke izindlu zakhe zobukhosi;

⁶ Wasusa itabernakele lakhe ngamandla, kungathi lingaphandle kwensimu; wachitha izindawo zakhe zokubuthana; UJehova ukhohliwe imikhosi namasabatha eZiyoni, nangokuvutha kolaka lwakhe udelele inkosi nompristi.

⁷ INkosi ililahlile i-altare layo, yanengwa yindlu yayo engcwele, yanikela izingange zezindlu zayo zamakhosi esandleni sesitha; babanga umsindo endlini kaJehova njengosuku lomkhosi.

⁸ UJehova wahlosa ukudiliza ugange lwendodakazi yaseSiyoni; Welula umucu wokulinganisa, isandla sakhe asihlehlanga ukubhubhisa; ngalokho wenza ukuba kukhale imiduli nogange; baphelelwa amandla kanyekanye.

⁹ Amasango alo acwile emhlabathini; imigoqo yakhe wayichitha, wayiphula; inkosi yalo nezikhulu zalo baphakathi kwezizwe; umthetho awusekho; abaprofethi bawo ababufumani ubuso bukaJehova.

¹⁰ Amalunga endodakazi yaseSiyoni ahlezi emhlabathini, athule; bazithela ngothuli emakhanda abo; babhinca izingubo zokulila; izintombi zaseJerusalema zilengisa amakhanda azo emhlabathini.

¹¹ Amehlo ami ayaphela izinyembezi, izibilini zami ziyathuthumela, isibindi sami silahlwe emhlabeni ngenxa yokuchithwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami; ngokuba abantwana nabancane bayaquleka emigwaqweni yomuzi.

¹² Bathi konina: “Uphi ukolweni newayini na?” lapho bedangala njengabalimele ezitaladini zomuzi, lapho umphefumulo wabo uthululelwa ezifubeni zonina.

¹³ Kufanele ngithatheni ukuze ngifakaze kini? Ngingafanisa nani ndodakazi yaseJerusalema na? ngiyakubonani kuwe, ukuze ngikududuze, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni na? ngoba ukufohla kwakho kukhulu njengolwandle; ngubani ongakuphilisa?

¹⁴ Abaprofethi bakho babone izinto eziyize neziwubuwula ngawe, futhi ababubonakalisanga ububi bakho ukuze banqande ukuthunjwa kwakho; kodwa ngakubona imithwalo yamanga lezinto zokudingiswa.

¹⁵ Bonke abadlulayo bashaya ihlombe; bashaya ikhwelo, benqekuzisa amakhanda endodakazini yaseJerusalema, bathi: “Yiwo lo muzi abantu abawubiza ngokuthi ngobuhle obuphelele, intokozo yomhlaba wonke na?

¹⁶ Zonke izitha zakho zikuvulele imilomo yazo; bashaya ikhwelo bagedle amazinyo; bathi: Sayidla; impela lolu wusuku ebesilulindile; sayithola, sayibona.

¹⁷ UJehova wenza njengokucabanga kwakhe; Wafeza izwi lakhe ayala ngalo ezinsukwini zasendulo: Wawisa, akabanga namusa; futhi Wenza isitha senu sajabula ngani, waphakamisa uphondo lwezitha zenu.

¹⁸ Izinhliziyo zabo zakhala eNkosini, wena ludonga lwendodakazi yaseSiyoni, izinyembezi mazigeleze imini nobusuku njengomfula; ungayeki inhlamvu yeso lakho.

¹⁹ Vuka, ukhale ebusuku; thulula inhliziyo yakho njengamanzi phambi kukaJehova ekuqaleni kwemilindo; phakamisela kuye izandla zakho ngenxa yokuphila kwabantwana bakho abafa yindlala ezingqongeni zonke zemigwaqo.

²⁰ Bheka, Jehova, ubone ukuthi wenze kubani lokhu. Ingabe abesifazane bazodla izithelo zabo kanye nezingane isikhathi eside? umpristi nomprofethi bayakubulawa endlini engcwele kaJehova na?

²¹ Abancane nabadala balele phansi emigwaqweni; izintombi zami nezinsizwa zami ziwile ngenkemba; Wababulala ngosuku lwentukuthelo yakho; wabulala, wangabi nazwelo.

²² Wabiza izesaba zami nxazonke njengosuku lomkhosi, kwaze kwathi ngosuku lolaka lukaJehova akubangakho owaphunyukayo noma owasalayo;
