Ngoba isahlulelo sami siyikubuthelela izizweg, ukuze ngiqoqe imibusoh, ngithululele phezu kwabo intukuthelo yami, konke ukuvutha kolaka lwami; ngoba umhlaba wonke uzaqothulwa ngumlilo wobukhwele bamii. 9 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi ngizabuyisela ebantwini ulimi oluhlambulukileyoj, ukuze bonke babize ibizo leNkosi, ukuze bayikhonze ngahlombe linye. 10 Kusukela phetsheya kwemifulak yeEthiyophiyal abancengi bami, indodakazi yabahlakazekileyo bamim, bazalethan umnikelo wamio.
11 Ngalolosukup kawuyikuyangeka ngenxa yezenzo zakho zonkeq, ophambuke ngazo kimi, ngoba ngalesosikhathi ngizakhupha phakathi kwakho abathokoza ekuzikhukhumezeni kwakhor; futhi kawusayikubuya uziphakamise entabeni yami engcweles. 12 Njalo ngizatshiya phakathi kwakho abantu abahluphekileyo labangabayangat; bona bazathemba ebizweni likaJehovau. 13 Insali yakoIsrayeliv kayiyikwenza ububiw, kayiyikukhuluma amangax; njalo kakuyikufunyanwa ulimi olukhohlisayo emlonyeni wayoy; ngoba bona bazakudlaz balale phansiab, njalo kungekho obesabisayoc. 14 Hlabelelad, ndodakazi yeZiyonie; memeza, Israyelif; thokoza, ujabule ngenhliziyo yonke, ndodakazi yeJerusalema. 15 INkosi isusile izahlulelo zakho, isixotshile isitha sakho; inkosi yakoIsrayelig, uJehova, iphakathi kwakhoh; kawusayikubona okubii. 16 Ngalolosukuj kuzakuthiwa kuyo iJerusalema: Ungesabik; lawe Ziyoni, kazingadangalil izandla zakhom. 17 INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho phakathi kwakho ilamandlan, izasindisa; izajabula ngawe ngentokozoo; izathula othandweni lwayo, ithabe ngawe ngokuhlabelela.
18 Ngizababutha abadabuka ngenxap yenhlangano emisiweyo, bevela kuweq; ihlazo lingumthwalo kubo. 19 Khangela, ngalesosikhathi ngizakuba lokwenzar labo bonke abakuhluphayos; ngisindise oqhulayot, ngibutheu oxotshiweyov; ngibabeke babe yindumisowx lebizoy kulo lonke ilizwe lehlazo labo. 20 Ngalesosikhathiz ngizalingenisaa, langesikhathi engizalibuthelela ngaso; ngoba ngizalenza libe libizob lendumisocd phakathi kwabantu bonke bomhlaba, lapho sengibuyisae abathunjiweyo benu phambi kwamehlo enu, itsho iNkosi.
