UISAYA 2

₂Ke kaloku ngemihla yokugqibela

intaba emi kuyo indlu *kaNdikhoyo

iya kuba yeyona ibalaseleyo,

izikrobele zonke iinduli;

nezizwe zonke ziya kugxalathelana ukuya kuyo.

₃Ewe, abantu abaninzi baya kuza, bathi:

“Yizani siye entabeni kaNdikhoyo,

endlwini kaThixo kaYakobi.

Yena wosifundisa iindlela zakhe,

ukuze thina sihambe ngazo.”

Kaloku umthetho wophuma eZiyon,

liphume eJerusalem ilizwi likaNdikhoyo.

₄Nguye oya kugweba phakathi kwezizwe,

abe ngumlamli phakathi kweentlanga ngeentlanga,

wona amakrele azo ziwenze amakhuba,

yona imikhonto ibe zizitshetshe zokuthena imithi.

Kaloku izizwe soze ziphinde ziqulelane ngamakrele,

zingasayi kuze ziphinde ziyiqeqeshelwe imfazwe.

₅Ngoko ke, nzala kaYakobi,

yizani sihambe ngokukhanya okuvela kuNdikhoyo!

₆Kambe ke wena, Thixo wethu,

ubalahlile abantu bakho,

nditsho indlu kaSirayeli!

Kaloku bathene nca nezangoma –

ezasempuma nezo zaseFilistiya –

bayavumisa batsho ngehlombe bekunye neentlanga.

₇Nelizwe labo liphuphum' isiliva negolide;

ubutyebi babo abunambaliso.

Nomhlaba wabo uzele ngamahashe;

yinyambalala iinqwelo zabo zemfazwe.

₈Awu! Asiyomifanekiso kwilizwe labo!

Kaloku bakhahlela kwaizinto ezenziwe kwangabo;

banqula umsebenzi wezandla zabo.

₉Ewe, uluntu luphuthile,

ngenene abantu bahlazekile.

Ngoko ke ungaze ubaxolele!

₁₀Ke bona baya kuzifaka emaweni,

bazimele baziqhusheke nasemhlabeni,

kuba besoyika ingqumbo *kaNdikhoyo,

bebaleka ukukhazimla kobungangamsha bakhe.

₁₁Ikratshi lomntu lihlalele ukuphuthiswa,

nokukhukhumala kwakhe kuthotywe.

Ngaloo mini ke nguNdikhoyo yedwa oya kubalasela.

₁₂Kaloku uNdikhoyo onamandla onke uwumisile umhla wembubho;

baya kuthi shuu abanekratshi nabaziphakamisayo,

nditsho abaqwanyileyo nabaqhoshayo.

₁₃Uya kuyincothula naloo misedare mide yaseLebhanon,

ayitoncule naloo mioki yaseBhashan.

₁₄Uya kuzibhukuqa neenkaba-nkaba zeentaba,

azilebele neencochoyi zeenduli.

₁₅Andisathethi ke ngeemboniselo eziziinkelekethe.

Koba njalo ke nakuzo zonke iinqaba.

₁₆Iinqanawa zokurhweba wozitshonisa,

ade antywilisele nezakhiwe ngobugcisa.

₁₇Ewe, ikratshi lomntu liya kuphuthiswa,

nokukhukhumala kwakhe kuthotywe,

ngaloo mini ibe nguNdikhoyo yedwa obalaseleyo.

₁₈Ngenene ke yona imifanekiso iya kubhujiswa!

₁₉Ke bona abantu baya kungena emiqolombeni,

baziqhusheke nditsho nasemingxunyeni,

bezimela ubuqaqawuli bobungangamsha bakhe

ekufikeni kwakhe eze kuwurhwaqelisa umhlaba.

₂₀Ngaloo mini abantu baya kuyilahla imifanekiso yabo yesiliva neyegolide,

nditsho leyo bayenzele ukuyinqula.

Ewe, yoba lixhoba leempuku namalulwane.

₂₁Ke bona baya kungena emiqolombeni,

bazifake ezimfanteni ezawaneni,

bebaleka ingqumbo kaNdikhoyo,

bezimela ubuqaqawuli bakhe

ekufikeni kwakhe eze kuwurhwaqelisa umhlaba.

₂₂Ngoko ke musa ukukholosa ngomntu;

kuxa engubani ekrobo-krobo nje!
