Ukuhlunguphazwa kweZiyoni

¹ Maye, igolide elidarhileko lifiphele, iye, igolidembala! Amatje acwengileko arhatjhekile emajikeni wazo zoke iindledlana.

² Amadodana weZiyoni aligugu ebegade alinganiswa negolidembala, gadesi sele afaniswa nemijeka okumsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!

³ Ngitjho neempungutjha ziyehlisa kobana zimunyise imindlwanazo, kodwana amadodakazi wekhethu akanasirhawu njengeenciliba erhalawumbeni.

⁴ Ngebanga lokoma amalimu wamasana anamathela kurhwalabha; abantwana bakhombela isikwa kodwana akunamuntu obahlephulelako.

⁵ Labo abakhe bagoma iinkhanakhana bagelagela eendledlaneni batlhaphile. Iye, labo ebebembatha ezibubende gadesi baphendla ezaleni.

⁶ Isibetho secala labantu bami, sikhulu kunesesono seSodoma eyaketulwa ngomzuzwana ngaphandle kwesandla somuntu.

⁷ Amakhosana wakhona gade adarhe ukwedlula iliqhwa, amhlophe ukwedlula ibisi, imizimbawo ikhanya ukwedlula amarubi, ukuvela kwawo kunjengamasafaya.

⁸ Kodwana kwanjesi sese anzima kunomsizi, akasafaniseki eendledlaneni. Isikhumba sawo sinamathele emathanjenawo, sirhwatjhe inga sigodo.

⁹ Abahlatjwe ngesabula bangcono khulu kunababulawa yindlala; baqedwe liphango, baphela amandla ngokuswela umkhiqizo wemasimini.

¹⁰ Izandla zabafazi abanesirhawu zapheka abantwababo; ababa kukudla kwabo lokha abantu bami nabaphodlhekako.

¹¹ USomnini uphelelise itukuthelwakhe, uthulule ilaka lakhe elivuthako: Uvuthise umlilo eZiyoni oqothule iinsekelo zalo.

¹² Amakhosi, ngitjho nabo boke abahlali bephasi, azange bakholwe kobana izitha namanaba angangena emasangweni weJerusalema.

¹³ Kwenzeka ngebanga lezono zabaphorofidi balo namacala wabaphristi balo, abathulula iingazi zabalungileko ngaphakathi kwalo.

¹⁴ Nje-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!”

¹⁶ USomnini ngokwakhe ubahlakazile, akasazobatjheja. Abantu abasahloniphi abaphristi begodu abasathandi abaphathi.

¹⁷ Amehlwethu afiphele ngokurhuluphela isizo, kodwana kulilize lakolize. Siseenthaleni zethu saqala isizwe esingasiza, kodwana azange sibe khona esingasindisa.

¹⁸ Isitha sasihlala eenthendeni besabhalelwa kukhamba eendledlaneni zethu. Isiphetho sethu besele sitjhidele namalangethu sele abaliwe, iye, isiphetho sethu sifikile.

¹⁹ Abasigijimisako bebanebelo kunamakhozi emkayini, basilandelela basikhweza iintaba, basilalela erhalawumbeni.

²⁰ Ozesiweko kaSomnini, okuphila kwethu, wabanjwa emgodini wezifu zabo; iye, esadlumbana ngaye bona emthunzinakhe sizakuhlala hlangana nezizwe.

²¹ Jekezela uthabe ndodakazi ye-Edomu; wena ohlala enarheni ye-Utsi. Kodwana nakuwe ikapho izakufika; uzakudakwa, uzihlubulise.

²² Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, isibetho secala lakho siphelele; uSomnini akasazokwembula. Kodwana wena ndodakazi ye-Edomu, uSomnini uzakuhlunguphaza ngecala lakho, embule isono sakho.
