UISAYA 33

₁Kunyembelekile kuwe, mtshabalalisi;

wena ungatshatyalaliswanga!

Yeha ke, wena tshijolondini;

ke wena siqu awuqhathwa mntu!

Uya kuze upheze ukutshabalalisa,

ibe nguwe otshatyalaliswayo.

Boze bupheze ubuqhophololo bakho,

nawe ke ube lixhoba lokuqhathwa.

₂*Ndikhoyo, khawube nenceba kuthi;

asisakulangazeleli ngako!

Ntsasa zonke yiba ngamandla ethu;

sihlangule sakungena enkathazweni.

₃Lakuzongoma izwi lakho batsho basabe;

wakuphakama ziyasarhaka izizwe.

₄Izizwe zojika zibe ngamaxhoba,

zixhatshazwe ngathi zingenelwe ziinkumbi.

₅Mkhulu kambe uNdikhoyo,

yena umi kweliphezulu!

IJerusalem woyizalisa ngolungelelwano nobulungisa.

₆Maxa onke uya kuba sisiseko esingahexiyo,

isisele sosindiso, ubulumko, nolwazi.

Umthombo wale ndyebo kukuhlonela uNdikhoyo.

₇Nango amagorha abo ezibika;

oonozaku-zaku abaphath' uxolo nâbo besitsho ngesikrakra.

₈Ngoku koohola sekuthe bhe;

abahambi abavakali ndawo konke.

Izivumelwano ziyakrotyozwa;

ke izixeko zideliwe,

akusekho mntu uhlonitshwayo.

₉Umhlaba ulele, ngamafusi nje,

amahlathi aseLebhanon atshazile;

ngoku iSharon ifana nentili yasentlango,

imithi ibunile eBhashan naseKarmele.

₁₀*UNdikhoyo uthi:

“Ngoku ke ndosuka ndiphakame;

niza kububona ubungangamsha bam;

ewe kaloku, ndiza kuzimaseka.

₁₁Nikhawul' umququ, nizal' inkintshi-nkintshi;

kaloku nizitshabalalisa kwangokwenu.

₁₂Izizwe ziya kutshiswa okwamatye ekalika;

ziya kufakwa umlilo okwezihlahla zameva.

₁₃Nina bantu bakude, phulaphulani;

ewe, yiveni into endiyenzileyo;

nina bakufuphi, wavumeni amandla am.”

₁₄Aboni baseZiyon bayagubha liphaphu,

abangakhathalele Thixo bayangcangcazela.

“Ngubani ke kuthi ongamelana nomlilo olenyayo?

Ngubani onganyamezela umlilo ongacimekiyo?”

₁₅Ngondlela zithe ngqo nothetha kakuhle,

nongafuni kungenelwa ngengcinezelo,

noyingcathu ongazamkeliyo izicengo,

ongahambisaniyo nabafutha amayelenqe,

umntu ongafunaniyo nezinto ezimbi.

₁₆Onjalo ke uza noloyiso;

ukhuseleke ngathi usemqolombeni

apho ukutya namanzi kuhlala kuhleli.

₁₇Ke amehlo enu oze ambone ukumkani

ethiwe jize ngesihomo nesithozela;

owakhe umhlaba uthe gabalala.

₁₈Ngeenkumbulo nocamanga ngehambo-nzima yamandulo:

“Waya phi umphicothi-ncukacha;

ephi ke yena umvavanyi?

Kanti uphi yena umhloli weenqaba?”

₁₉Ezo ntlanga zidelelayo zophel' emehlweni,

abantu abantetho ingacacanga,

abapitiliza ulwimi eningaluqondiyo.

₂₀Khangelani iZiyon, isixeko samatheko amisiweyo;

zisuka nje nokhangwa yiJerusalem,

ikhaya lenzolo, umzi ongashukumiyo;

ezawo izikhonkwane soze zancothuka,

neentsontelo zawo soze ziqhawuke.

₂₁Apho ke uNdikhoyo woba nguThixo wethu onamandla,

soba ngathi siphakathi kweentlambo nemilambo;

kodwa akukho sikhephe siya kuhamba khona,

kungekho nanqanawa ingangcambaza apho.

₂₂Kaloku umgwebi wethu nguNdikhoyo;

ewe, uNdikhoyo yena uyasilawula.

Ikumkani yethu nguNdikhoyo;

nguye oya kusisindisa.

₂₃Zona iintambo zenqanawa ziyeke-yeke;

azisenako ukuyibamba intsika yayo,

zingenako ukuyiqinisa neseyile.

Boxhaphaz' amaxhoba bazanelise;

kuya kuhlomla nesiqhwala esi sembala.

₂₄EZiyon akusayi kubakho ugulayo;

zonke izono zabemi bayo ziya kuxolelwa.
