52Vuka, vukaa, wembathe amandla akho, Ziyoni! Yembatha izembatho zakho ezinhleb, Jerusalema, muzi ongcwelec! Ngoba kakusayikungena kuwe futhi ongasokanga longcolileyod. 2 Zithintithe usuke othulinie, sukuma, uhlale phansi, Jerusalema! Zikhululef kuzibopho zentamo yakho, ndodakazi ethunjiweyo yeZiyoni! 3 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Lathengiswag ngezeh; njalo lizahlengwa ngaphandle kwemalii. 4 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Abantu bamij behlela eGibhithe esikhathini sendulo ukuhlala njengabezizwe khona, njalo iAsiriya yabacindezela ngaphandle kwesizatho. 5 Khathesi-ke, ngilani lapha, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi abantu bami bathethwe ngeze? Labo abababusayo babenza baqhinqe isililo, itsho iNkosi, lebizo lamik liqhubeka lihlanjazwa lonke usukul. 6 Ngakho abantu bami bazalazi ibizo lami; ngakho ngalolosukum bazakwazi ukuthi yimi engikhulumayon; khangela, yimi.

9 Qhamukani ngentokozou, lihlabelele kanyekanye, lina manxiwa eJerusalemav, ngoba iNkosi isibaduduzile abantu bayow, iyihlengile iJerusalemax. 10 INkosi yembule ingalo yayo engcweley emehlweni azo zonke izizwe, njaloz imikhawulo yonke yomhlaba izabona usindiso lukaNkulunkulu wethu.

11 Sukani, sukania, liphume lapha, lingathinti okungcolileyo, phumani phakathi kwayo, banini ngabahlambulukileyo, lina elithwala izitsha zeNkosib. 12 Ngoba kaliyikuphumac ngokuphangisad, kumbe lihambe ngokubaleka, ngoba iNkosi izahamba phambi kwenue, loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli uzakuba ngumvikeli wenu ngasemuvaf.
