Sihlabelelo 122
Umthandazo wekucela kuthula kweJerusalema
Ingoma yaDavide yekuya emikhosini.
1Ngajabula ngesikhatsi batsi kimi:
“Asambe siye endlini yaSimakadze.”
2Sesime emkhatsini
wemasango akho, Jerusalema!
3IJerusalema lidolobha
lelakheke kahle lavivaniswa.
4Ngulapho ikhuphukela khona
imindeni yaSimakadze,
iyewudvumisa Nkulunkulu,
njengobe yena ayala Israyeli.
5Ngulapho kuhlala khona
tihlalo tebukhosi tekwehlulela,
tihlalo tebukhosi tendlu yaDavide.
6Thandazelani kutsi
kube nekuthula eJerusalema:
“Shangatsi bangaphumelela
babe nenhlanhla,
bantfu labatsandza wena, Jerusalema.
7Akube nekuthula
ngekhatsi kwetindvonga takho,
kube nekuphepha etigodlweni takho.”
8Ngenca yebazalwane bami
nebangani bami ngitsi:
“Kuthula akwandze ngekhatsi kwakho.”
9Ngenca yendlu yaSimakadze,
Nkulunkulu wetfu,
ngikucelela inchubekelaphambili.
