UISAYA 60

₁Khawuvuke! Vuka, Jerusalem!

Khanya! Ukhanyiso lwakho luthwasile;

isihomo *sikaNdikhoyo sikujikelezile.

₂Nâbo ubumnyama phezu kwehlabathi;

umnyam' ombonde-mbonde uvalel' izizwe.

Kodwa ke uNdikhoyo uyakukhanyisela;

ukukhanya kwesihomo sakhe kuphezu kwakho.

₃Oko kukhanya kotsala neentlanga,

nezikumkani ngokwazo uzikhange loo mso.

₄Khawubheka-bheke ude uqwalasele;

bonke bayaqokelelana, bayeza!

Oonyana beza bevel' ekudeni;

iintombi zona ziza zisingathiwe.

₅Wothi ungabona, utsho ube nemihlali;

uya kutsho uhlasimle kukuchulumacha.

Kaloku ubutyebi bezizwe boza kuwe;

ubutyebi bothi gqi naphesheya kweelwandle.

₆Ilizwe lozala yimihlambi yeenkamela

namankonyane aseMidiyan naseHefa.

NabaseShebha baya kuza begxalathelana,

bepheth' igolide kunye nesiqhumiso,

bebhengeza bedumisa uNdikhoyo.

₇Zonke iigusha zakwaKedare zoba zezakho;

wosebenzisa iinkunzi zeegusha zakwaNebhayoti.

Zona ziya kutsho ngamadini amkelekileyo eqongeni lam;

ndoyihombisa indlu yam enesihomo.

₈Zinto zini ezi zibhabha njengamafu,

ezi zingathi ngamahobe egoduka?

₉Ziinqanawe ezivela emazweni,

kukhokel' ezaseTashishe –

nâzo zigodusa abantu bakaThixo.

Beza bepheth' igolide nesiliva;

ngazo badumisa igama likaNdikhoyo.

Lowo ke nguThixo oyedwa kaSirayeli,

yena unithe jize ngesihomo nesithozela.

₁₀KwiJerusalem ke uNdikhoyo uthi:

“Iindonga zakho zokwakhiwa ziintlanga,

izikumkani zazo ke zona zikuququzelele.

Kuba kaloku ndanohlwaya ngomsindo,

ke ngoku ndiyimvuze-mvuze ngobubele.

₁₁Amasango akho ohlala evulwe ng'aa!

Imini nobusuku wona soze avalwe,

ukuze abantu bakuzisele ubutyebi bezizwe,

izikumkani zazo ziluludwe,

zona zingumngcelele wabathinjwa.

₁₂Ke sona isizwe ndawonye nookumkani

bonke abangakubusiyo botshabalala;

baya kuvuthululwa baphele tu.

₁₃“Iqhayiya lamahlathi aseLebhanon loza kuwe,

imithi yesipresi, umpleyini, nompayini,

yoziswa kuhonjiswe ngayo indlu kaThixo,

ukuze umzi wakhe undiliseke.

₁₄Baya kuza abo babekade bekucinezela,

bafike bakhahlele babuse kuwe.

Nabo bonke abebekade bekudelile baya kuwisa kuwe bekhahlela,

besithi wena usisixeko sikaNdikhoyo,

iZiyon kaYedwa kaSirayeli.

₁₅“Nangona ushiyiwe uthiyiwe,

kungasekho bani udlulayo,

ndiya kukwenza iqhayiya laphakade,

uvuyo lwezizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

₁₆Izizwe nezikumkani ziya kukuququzelela,

zifane nomfazi okhulisa usana lwakhe.

Nawe ke uya kutsho uqonde ukuba ndim mna Ndikhoyo okusindisileyo,

wazi ukuba ngenene ukhululwe yiNgangalala enguThixo kaYakobi.

₁₇Ndaweni yobhedu ndokunika igolide,

ndaweni yentsimbi ndikunike isiliva;

esikhundleni somthi ibe lubhedu,

ndikunike intsimbi endaweni yelitye.

Uya kuphathwa luxolo,

ulawulwe bubulungisa.

₁₈Ubundlobongela buya kuba yintsomi,

imbubho nentshabalalo ziphele emideni yakho.

Uya kubiyelwa ngosindiso,

uvalwe ngendumiso.

₁₉Emini awusayi kukhanyiselwa lilanga;

ebusuku alisayi kubakho ilitha lenyanga;

koko wokhanyiselwa bubungangamsha bam;

mna Ndikhoyo ndokukhanyisela ngonaphakade.

₂₀Awusayi kuphinda utshonelwe langa,

nenyanga ayisayi kubuya iphele;

uNdikhoyo wokukhanyisela nanini-nanini,

ingaze ibuye ibekho imihla yesingqala.

₂₁Abantu bakho boba ngabalungileyo,

umhlaba bawume kude kube ngunaphakade.

Bona basisithole esimiliselwe ndim;

ewe, bangumsebenzi wezandla zam,

ukuze babhengeze udumo lwam jikelele.

₂₂Noyena ungathangani uya kuba njengomkhosi,

kanti noyena ungazelwe nto woba sisizwe esomeleleyo.

Lakufika ixesha le nto ndoyenza ngesiquphe,

kuba kaloku mna ndinguNdikhoyo.”
