Ukuhlutshwa kweJerusalema sekuphelele
4Yekaa ukufiphala kwegolide, ukuphenduka kwegolide elihleb kakhulu! Amatshe endawo engcwele achithiwe ekuqalenic kwazo zonke izitalada. 2 Amadodana aligugu eZiyoni, alinganiswa legolide elihled, yekae ukuthiwa kwawo ayizitshaf zebumbag, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!
3 Ngitsho amakhankah ehlisa ibele, amunyise imidlwane yawo; kodwa indodakazi yabantu bami isilesihlukui, njengezintshej enkangala. 4 Ulimi lomunyayo lunamathelak olwangeni lwakhe ngenxa yokoma; abantwanyanal bacela isinkwa, kakho obahlephulelayom.
5 Ababesidla izibilibocon baphundlekile ezitaladeni; abondliwa ngeziyibubendeop bagonaq inqumbi zomquba. 6 Ngoba icalars lendodakazi yabantu bami likhulut kulesonou seSodoma, eyachithwav kwangathi ngomzuzwana, kungelazandla ezayonayo.
7 AmaNazariw ayo ayehlambulukile kuleliqhwa elikhithikileyo, emhlophe kulochago, ebomvana ngomzimbax kulamakorali*y, isimoz sawo sasingesesafire*ab. 8 Ukubonakala kwawo sekumnyama kulomsizic, kawaziwa ezitaladeni; isikhumba sawod sinamathele emathanjeni awo, somile, saba njengogodo.
9 Ababulawa ngenkemba bangcono kulababulawa yindlala; ngoba laba bayacikizekae behlatshwaf yikuswela izithelo zensimu. 10 Izandlag zabesifazana abalesihawuh zaphekai abantwana babo; baba yikudla kwabo ekwephukeni kwendodakazi yabantu bami.
11 INkosi iphelelisilej intukuthelo yayo, ithululilek ukuvuthal kolaka lwayo, yaphembam umlilo eZiyoni oqothule izisekelo zayo. 12 Amakhosi omhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba babengayikukholwa ukuthi umcindezeli lesitha babengangena emasangweni eJerusalema.
13 Kwakungenxan yezono zabaprofethi bayo leziphambekoo zabapristi bayo, abachithap igazi labalungileyo phakathi kwayo. 14 Bazula njengeziphofu ezitaladeni, bangcoliswaq ngegazi, kangangokuthir abantu kabangelakuthinta izembatho zabo.
15 Bamemeza kubo bathi: Sukani, kungcolilest, sukani, sukani, lingathinti! Lapho bebaleka njalo bezula, bathi phakathi kwabezizwe: Kabasayikuhlala njengabezizwe. 16 Ubusouv beNkosi bubahlakazile, kayisayikubananza; kabahloniphangaw ubuso babapristi, kababanga lomusa kubadala.
17 Thinax, amehlo ethuy asaphela kusizoz lwethu oluyize; ekulindeleni kwethu salindela isizwea esingelakusisindisa. 18 Bazingelab izinyathelo zethu ukuze singahambi ezitaladeni zethu; isiphetho sethu sisondele, insuku zethuc zigcwalisekile, ngoba isiphetho sethud sesifikile.
19 Abasizingelayo balejubanee kulamanqe amazulu; baxotshanaf lathi ngokutshiseka ezintabeni; basicathamela enkangala. 20 Umoyag wamakhala ethu, ogcotshiweyoh weNkosi, wabanjwai emigodinij yabo, esathi ngaye: Ngaphansik komthunzi wakhe sizaphila phakathi kwezizwe.
21 Jabulal uthokoze, ndodakazi yeEdoma, ohlala elizweni leUzim; inkezon izadlulela lakuweo, uzadakwa, uzinqunulep. 22 Ububiqr bakho buphelile, ndodakazi yeZiyoni; kasayikukuthumba; uzahambelas ububi bakho, ndodakazi yeEdoma; uzakwembulat izono zakho.
