Isililo ngokubhujiswa kweJerusalema
1Ngemiseleni yeBhabheli sahlala phasi,
salila lokha nasikhumbula iZiyoni.
2Phezu kwemithi yomdubi
saphanyeka amaharibhethu,
3ngombana abasithumbileko
bathi sibavumele ingoma;
iye abaphangi bethu
bafuna ingoma yethabo, bathi:
“Sivumelani yinye yeengoma zeZiyoni.”
4Sizayivuma njani ingoma kaSomnini
enarheni etjhili na?
5Nangikhohlwa wena Jerusalema,
asizikhohlwe isandla sami sesidla!
6Ilimu lami alinamathele kurhwalabhami,
nangabe angikukhumbuli,
iye, nakube angilibeki iJerusalema
ngaphezu kwesitlhori sokujabula kwami.
7Somnini, khumbula okwenziwe ma-Edomu
mhlana kuhlakazwa iJerusalema.
Athi: “Bhuruzani! Bhuruzani
bekube sesisekelweni salo!”
8Wena Bhabheli, ndodakazi ezakubhujiswa,
ubusisiwe ozakubuyisela kuwe,
lokho owakwenza kithi!
9Iye, ubusisiwe ohlwitha iinratjhana zakho,
aziphahlaze edwaleni!
