1Yekaa ukuhlala kodwab komuzi owawugcwele abantu! Usunjengomfelokazic owawumkhulu phakathi kwezizwe, owawuyinkosikazid phakathi kwezabeloe usuyisibhalwaf! 2 Uyakhalag lokukhala inyembezi ebusukuh, lezinyembezi zawo zisezihlathini zawo. Kawulamduduzii phakathi kwazo zonke izithandwa zawoj. Bonke abangane bawo bawuphethek ngenkohliso, sebeyizitha zawo. 3 UJudal useye ekuthunjweni ngenxa yokuhlupheka langenxam yobukhulu bobugqili; yena uhlalan phakathi kwabezizwe, katholio ukuphumula; bonke abamzingelayop bamfica ephakathi kwezimbandezeloq. 4 Indlela zeZiyoni ziyalila, ngoba kungekho ozayo emkhosinir omisiweyo; wonke amasangos ayo angamanxiwa; abapristi bayo bayabubulat, izintombi zayo ezimsulwa zidabukileu, layo isekubabeni. 5 Abamelani bayo sebeyinhlokov, izitha zayo zonwabilew; ngoba iNkosi iyidabulilex ngenxay yobunengi beziphambeko zayo; abantwana bayoz sebeyea ekuthunjweni phambi kwesitha. 6 Labo bonke ubuhle bayo busukile kundodakazi yeZiyoni. Iziphathamandla zayo zinjengezindluzele ezingatholi idlelo, njalo ziyahamba zingelamandla phambi komzingelib. 7 Ezinsukwini zenhlupheko yayo lokuzulazulac kwayo iJerusalema yakhumbula zonke izinto zayo eziloyisekayod okwakukhona kusukelae ezinsukwini zasendulo, lapho abantu bayo bawela esandleni sesitha, njalo ingelamsizi; izitha zayibona, zahleka usulu amasabatha ayof. 8 IJerusalema yonile kakhulu, ngakho-ke isingcolile; bonke ababeyihlonipha bayidelela, ngoba sebebonileg ubuze bayo; yona isibubulah, ibuyele emuva. 9 Ukungcola kwayo kwakusemiphethweni yezigqokoi zayo; kayikhumbulangaj ukucina kwayo; ngakho yehla ngokumangalisayo, yayingelamduduzik. Nkosi, bona inhlupheko yami, ngoba isitha sizikhulisilel.

10 Isitha selule isandla saso phezu kwazo zonke izinto zayo eziloyisekayom; ngoba ibonile izizwen zingena endaweni yayo engcwele, owazilaya ukuthi zingangenio phakathi kwebandla lakho. 11 Bonke abantu bayo bayabubulap, bedingaq isinkwa; banike izinto zabor eziloyisekayo ngokudla ukuthis bavuselele umphefumulo. Bona, Nkosi, ukhangele, ngoba ngiyadelelwa. 12 Kakusilutho kini yini lonke elidlulayot ngendlela? Khangelani libone ubau kukhona yini usizi njengosizi lwami, olwenziwev kimi, iNkosi engidabulew ngalox osukwini lokuvutha kolakay lwayo. 13 Iphezulu, ithumelez umlilo emathanjeni ami, wawehlula; ithiyelea unyawo lwami imbule, ingibuyisele emuva; ingenze ngaba lunxiwa, ngaphela amandlab usuku lonke. 14 Ijokwec leziphambeko zami libotshwe ngesandla sayo; zelukiwed, zenyukelee entanyeni yami, iwisile amandla ami; iNkosi inginikele ezandleni zabo, ngingelakho ukuvuka. 15 INkosi yeyisilef wonke amaqhawe amig phakathi kwami; yabiza umhlangano omelene lami ukuchoboza amajaha ami; iNkosi inyatheleleh intombi emsulwa, indodakazi yakoJuda, isikhamelo sewayini. 16 Ngenxa yalezizinto ngiyakhala inyembezi; ilihlo lami, ilihlo lamii lehlisa amanzi, ngoba umduduzij obengavuselelak umphefumulo wami ukhatshana lami; abantwana bami bachithakele ngoba isitha sinqobile. 17 IZiyoni iyelulal izandla zayo, kakhom oyiduduzayo. INkosi ilayile ngoJakobe ukuthi abamzingelezeleyo babe yizitha zakhe. IJerusalema injengowesifazanan ongcolileyo phakathi kwabo.

18 INkosio ilungile, ngoba ngivukele umlomop wayo. Ake lizwe, bantu lonke, libone usizi lwami. Intombi zami ezimsulwa lamajaha ami baye ekuthunjweni. 19 Ngabiza izithandwa zamiq, kodwa zona zangikhohlisa. Abapristi bami labadala bami baphefumula okokucina emzini, besazidingelar ukudla ukuzes bavuselele umphefumulo wabo. 20 Bona, Nkosi, ngoba ngilusizi; imibilini yamit idungekile, inhliziyo yami iphendukile phakathi kwami, ngoba ngaba lenkani kakhulu. Ngaphandleu inkembav iyemuka abantwana, endliniw kunjengokufax. 21 Bezwile ukuthi mina ngiyabubulay; kangilamduduziz; zonkea izitha zami zizwile ngobubi bami; ziyathokoza ngoba wena ukwenzile.
