Ukukhala kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abathunjiweyo

137Emifuleni yeBhabhiloni sahlala phansi khona, yebo sakhala inyembezi, lapho sikhumbula iZiyoni. 2 Amachacho ethu sawaphanyeka eminyezaneni phakathi kwayoa. 3 Ngoba khonapho abasithumbayo basicela amazwi engoma, labasimotshayo bacela injabulo besithi: Sihlabeleleni enye yezingoma zeZiyoni.

4 Singahlabela njani ingoma yeNkosi elizweni lemzinib? 5 Uba ngikukhohlwa, Jerusalema, isandla sami sokunene kasikhohlwe ubungcitshic. 6 Ulimi lwami kalunamathele elwangeni lwami, uba ngingakukhumbuli, uba ngingaphakamisi iJerusalema phezu kwentokozo yami enkulud. 7 Khumbula, Nkosi, ngabantwana bakoEdoma, ngosuku lweJerusalema, abathi: Dilizani, dilizani1, kuze kube sesisekelweni sayoe. 8 Ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni, ozabhujiswaf, ubusisiwe ozaphindisela kuwe isenzo osenze kithigh. 9 Ubusisiwe ozabamba asakaze abantwana bakho edwalenii.
