Usi­zi lwe­Je­ru­sa­le­ma echi­the­ki­le­yo

1Ye­kaa uku­hla­la ko­dwab ko­mu­zi owa­wu­gcwe­le aba­ntu! Usu­nje­ngo­mfe­lo­ka­zic owa­wu­mkhu­lu pha­ka­thi kwe­zi­zwe, owa­wu­yi­nko­si­ka­zid pha­ka­thi kwe­za­be­loe usu­yi­si­bha­lwaf!

2 Uya­kha­lag lo­ku­kha­la inye­mbe­zi ebu­su­kuh, le­zi­nye­mbe­zi za­wo zi­se­zi­hla­thi­ni za­wo. Ka­wu­la­mdu­du­zii pha­ka­thi kwa­zo zo­nke izi­tha­ndwa za­woj. Bo­nke aba­nga­ne ba­wo ba­wu­phe­thek nge­nko­hli­so, se­be­yi­zi­tha za­wo.

3 UJu­dal use­ye eku­thu­njwe­ni nge­nxa yo­ku­hlu­phe­ka la­nge­nxam yo­bu­khu­lu bo­bu­gqi­li; ye­na uhla­lan pha­ka­thi kwa­be­zi­zwe, ka­tho­lio uku­phu­mu­la; bo­nke aba­mzi­nge­la­yop ba­mfi­ca epha­ka­thi kwe­zi­mba­nde­ze­loq.

4 Indle­la ze­Zi­yo­ni zi­ya­li­la, ngo­ba ku­nge­kho oza­yo emkho­si­nir omi­si­we­yo; wo­nke ama­sa­ngos ayo anga­ma­nxi­wa; aba­pri­sti ba­yo ba­ya­bu­bu­lat, izi­nto­mbi za­yo ezi­msu­lwa zi­da­bu­ki­leu, la­yo ise­ku­ba­be­ni.

5 Aba­me­la­ni ba­yo se­be­yi­nhlo­kov, izi­tha za­yo zo­nwa­bi­lew; ngo­ba iNko­si iyi­da­bu­li­lex nge­nxay yo­bu­ne­ngi be­zi­pha­mbe­ko za­yo; aba­ntwa­na ba­yoz se­be­yea eku­thu­njwe­ni pha­mbi kwe­si­tha.

6 La­bo bo­nke ubu­hle ba­yo bu­su­ki­le ku­ndo­da­ka­zi ye­Zi­yo­ni. Izi­pha­tha­ma­ndla za­yo zi­nje­nge­zi­ndlu­ze­le e­zi­nga­tho­li idle­lo, nja­lo zi­ya­ha­mba zi­nge­la­ma­ndla pha­mbi ko­mzi­nge­lib.

7 E­zi­nsu­kwi­ni ze­nhlu­phe­ko ya­yo lo­ku­zu­la­zu­lac kwa­yo iJe­ru­sa­le­ma ya­khu­mbu­la zo­nke izi­nto za­yo ezi­lo­yi­se­ka­yod okwa­ku­kho­na ku­su­ke­lae ezi­nsu­kwi­ni za­se­ndu­lo, la­pho aba­ntu ba­yo ba­we­la esa­ndle­ni se­si­tha, nja­lo inge­la­msi­zi; izi­tha za­yi­bo­na, za­hle­ka usu­lu ama­sa­ba­tha ayof.

8 IJe­ru­sa­le­ma yo­ni­le ka­khu­lu, nga­kho-ke isi­ngco­li­le; bo­nke aba­be­yi­hlo­ni­pha ba­yi­de­le­la, ngo­ba se­be­bo­ni­leg ubu­ze ba­yo; yo­na isi­bu­bu­lah, ibu­ye­le emu­va.

9 Uku­ngco­la kwa­yo kwa­ku­se­mi­phe­thwe­ni ye­zi­gqo­koi za­yo; ka­yi­khu­mbu­la­ngaj uku­ci­na kwa­yo; nga­kho ye­hla ngo­ku­ma­nga­li­sa­yo, ya­yi­nge­la­mdu­du­zik.

Nko­si, bo­na inhlu­phe­ko ya­mi, ngo­ba isi­tha si­zi­khu­li­si­lel.

10 Isi­tha se­lu­le isa­ndla sa­so phe­zu kwa­zo zo­nke izi­nto za­yo ezi­lo­yi­se­ka­yom; ngo­ba ibo­ni­le izi­zwen zi­nge­na enda­we­ni ya­yo engcwe­le, owa­zi­la­ya uku­thi zi­nga­nge­nio pha­ka­thi kwe­ba­ndla la­kho.

11 Bo­nke aba­ntu ba­yo ba­ya­bu­bu­lap, be­di­ngaq isi­nkwa; ba­ni­ke izi­nto za­bor ezi­lo­yi­se­ka­yo ngo­ku­dla uku­this ba­vu­se­le­le umphe­fu­mu­lo.

Bo­na, Nko­si, ukha­nge­le, ngo­ba ngi­ya­de­le­lwa.

12 Ka­ku­si­lu­tho ki­ni yi­ni lo­nke eli­dlu­la­yot nge­ndle­la? Kha­nge­la­ni li­bo­ne ubau ku­kho­na yi­ni usi­zi nje­ngo­si­zi lwa­mi, olwe­nzi­wev ki­mi, iNko­si engi­da­bu­lew nga­lox osu­kwi­ni lo­ku­vu­tha ko­la­kay lwa­yo.

13 Iphe­zu­lu, ithu­me­lez umli­lo ema­tha­nje­ni ami, wa­we­hlu­la; ithi­ye­lea unya­wo lwa­mi imbu­le, ingi­bu­yi­se­le emu­va; inge­nze nga­ba lu­nxi­wa, nga­phe­la ama­ndlab usu­ku lo­nke.

14 Ijo­kwec le­zi­pha­mbe­ko za­mi li­bo­tshwe nge­sa­ndla sa­yo; ze­lu­ki­wed, ze­nyu­ke­lee enta­nye­ni ya­mi, iwi­si­le ama­ndla ami; iNko­si ingi­ni­ke­le eza­ndle­ni za­bo, ngi­nge­la­kho uku­vu­ka.

15 INko­si ye­yi­si­lef wo­nke ama­qha­we amig pha­ka­thi kwa­mi; ya­bi­za umhla­nga­no ome­le­ne la­mi uku­cho­bo­za ama­ja­ha ami; iNko­si inya­the­le­leh into­mbi emsu­lwa, indo­da­ka­zi ya­ko­Ju­da, isi­kha­me­lo se­wa­yi­ni.

16 Nge­nxa ya­le­zi­zi­nto ngi­ya­kha­la inye­mbe­zi; ili­hlo la­mi, ili­hlo la­mii le­hli­sa ama­nzi, ngo­ba umdu­du­zij obe­nga­vu­se­le­lak umphe­fu­mu­lo wa­mi ukha­tsha­na la­mi; aba­ntwa­na ba­mi ba­chi­tha­ke­le ngo­ba isi­tha si­nqo­bi­le.

17 IZi­yo­ni iye­lu­lal iza­ndla za­yo, ka­khom oyi­du­du­za­yo. INko­si ila­yi­le ngo­Ja­ko­be uku­thi aba­mzi­nge­le­ze­le­yo ba­be yi­zi­tha za­khe. IJe­ru­sa­le­ma inje­ngo­we­si­fa­za­nan ongco­li­le­yo pha­ka­thi kwa­bo.

18 INko­sio ilu­ngi­le, ngo­ba ngi­vu­ke­le umlo­mop wa­yo. Ake li­zwe, ba­ntu lo­nke, li­bo­ne usi­zi lwa­mi. Into­mbi za­mi ezi­msu­lwa la­ma­ja­ha ami ba­ye eku­thu­njwe­ni.

19 Nga­bi­za izi­tha­ndwa za­miq, ko­dwa zo­na za­ngi­kho­hli­sa. Aba­pri­sti ba­mi la­ba­da­la ba­mi ba­phe­fu­mu­la oko­ku­ci­na emzi­ni, be­sa­zi­di­nge­lar uku­dla uku­zes ba­vu­se­le­le umphe­fu­mu­lo wa­bo.

20 Bo­na, Nko­si, ngo­ba ngi­lu­si­zi; imi­bi­li­ni ya­mit idu­nge­ki­le, inhli­zi­yo ya­mi iphe­ndu­ki­le pha­ka­thi kwa­mi, ngo­ba nga­ba le­nka­ni ka­khu­lu. Nga­pha­ndleu inke­mbav iye­mu­ka aba­ntwa­na, endli­niw ku­nje­ngo­ku­fax.

21 Be­zwi­le uku­thi mi­na ngi­ya­bu­bu­lay; ka­ngi­lo­mdu­du­ziz; zo­nkea izi­tha za­mi zi­zwi­le ngo­bu­bi ba­mi; zi­ya­tho­ko­za ngo­ba we­na ukwe­nzi­le. Uza­lu­fi­ki­sa usu­ku osulu­me­me­zi­leb, kho­na zi­za­ku­bac nje­nga­mi.

22 Ka­bu­fi­ked bo­nke ubu­bi ba­zo pha­mbi kwa­kho, we­nzee ki­zo nje­nga­lo­khu we­nzi­le ki­mi nge­nxa ya­zo zo­nke izi­pha­mbe­ko za­mi; ngo­ba uku­bu­bu­laf kwa­mi ku­ne­ngi, le­nhli­zi­yo ya­mig iphe­la ama­ndla.

Usi­zi lwe­Je­ru­sa­le­ma lu­ve­la eNko­si­ni

2INko­si iyi­gu­bu­ze­le ka­nga­ka­na­nia indo­da­ka­zi ye­Zi­yo­ni nge­ye­zi entu­ku­the­lwe­ni ya­yo, ya­pho­sab ubu­hlec bu­kaI­sra­ye­li bu­su­ka ema­zu­lwi­ni bu­si­ya e­mhla­beni; nja­lo ka­yi­si­khu­mbu­la­nga ise­na­be­lo se­nya­wod za­yo ngo­su­ku lwe­ntu­ku­the­lo ya­yo!

2 INko­si igi­nyi­lee zo­nke inda­wo zo­ku­hla­laf zi­ka­Ja­ko­be, inga­ha­wu­ke­lig; eku­thu­ku­the­le­ni kwa­yo idi­li­zi­leh izi­nqa­ba ze­ndo­da­ka­zi ya­ko­Ju­da, ya­zi­sai emhla­ba­thi­nij; ya­ngco­li­sakl umbu­so le­zi­pha­tha­ma­ndlam za­wo.

3 Iqu­mi­le ngo­ku­vu­than ko­la­ka lwa­yo lo­nke upho­ndoo lwa­koI­sra­ye­li; ya­bu­yi­se­lap emu­va isa­ndla sa­yo so­ku­ne­ne pha­mbi kwe­si­tha; ya­tshi­saq ime­le­ne lo­Ja­ko­be nje­ngo­mli­lo we­la­nga­bi oqo­thu­la inhla­ngo­thi zo­nke.

4 Igo­bi­si­ler ida­ndi­li la­yo nje­nge­si­thas; ye­ma nge­sa­ndla sa­yo nje­nge­si­tha; ya­bu­la­lat zo­nkeu izi­nto ezi­lo­yi­se­ka­yo za­me­hlo ethe­nte­ni le­ndo­da­ka­zi ye­Zi­yo­ni; ya­thu­lu­la ula­ka lwa­yo nje­ngo­mli­lo.

5 INko­siv ya­ba nje­nge­si­tha; ya­gi­nyaw uI­sra­ye­li, ya­gi­nyaxy zo­nke izi­go­dlo za­khe, ya­chi­tha inqa­ba za­khe; ya­ndi­sa uku­li­laz le­si­li­lo ku­ndo­da­ka­zi ya­ko­Ju­da.

6 Ithe­thea ngo­dla­ke­la idu­mbab la­yo nje­nge­si­va­nde; ya­chi­tha inda­woc ya­khe yo­ku­hla­nga­nye­la; uJe­ho­va we­nza uku­thi ku­kho­hla­ka­le eZi­yo­ni umkho­sid omi­si­we­yo le­sa­ba­thae; wa­de­le­laf inko­si lo­mpri­sti ngo­ku­vu­tha ko­la­ka lwa­khe.

7 INko­si ila­hli­leg ila­thi la­yo; ya­de­le­lah inda­wo ya­yo engcwe­le; ya­ni­ke­lai esa­ndle­ni se­si­tha imi­du­li ye­zi­go­dlo za­yo. Za­khu­phaj umsi­ndo endli­ni ye­Nko­si nje­ngo­su­kwi­ni lo­mkho­si omi­si­we­yo.

8 INko­sik ya­ca­ba­nga uku­chi­tha umdu­lil we­ndo­da­ka­zi ye­Zi­yo­ni; ye­lu­li­lem inta­mbo yo­ku­li­nga­ni­sa; ka­yi­bu­yi­sa­nga isa­ndla sa­yo eku­gi­nye­nin; nga­kho ye­nza uku­thi ku­li­le umtha­nga­lao lo­mdu­li, ka­nye­ka­nye ku­phe­lep ama­ndla.

9 Ama­sa­ngo ayo atsho­ni­leq emhla­ba­thi­ni; ya­bhu­bhi­sa ye­phu­lar imi­go­qo ya­yo; inko­si ya­yos le­zi­pha­tha­ma­ndla za­yo zi­pha­ka­thi kwa­be­zi­zwe; ka­ku­la­mthe­thot; la­ba­pro­fe­thi ba­you ka­ba­tho­li umbo­no uve­la eNko­si­ni.

10 Aba­da­la be­ndo­da­ka­zi ye­Zi­yo­ni ba­hle­zivw emhla­ba­thi­ni, ba­thu­lex, ba­the­ley uthu­li ekha­nda la­bo, ba­bhi­ncez ama­sa­ka; izi­nto­mbi ze­Je­ru­sa­le­ma zi­kho­tha­mi­se­le emhla­ba­thi­ni ama­kha­nda azo.
