iYerusalem yatshatyalaliswa

1iNkosi iyigubungele intombi enguZiyon ngefu ngomsindo wayo, izikhuphe ezulwini ubuhle bukaSirayeli, yayisa emhlabeni; ayisayi kusikhumbula isihlalo seenyawo zayo ngemini yomsindo wayo.

2Wayiphanzisa yonke iminquba kaYakobi uYehova, akaba namfesane kuye; Ngomsindo wakhe wazibhukuqa iimboniselo zentombi enguYuda; Wawakhahlela phantsi; Wabenza inqambi ubukumkani nabathetheli babo.

3Ngomsindo wakhe wazitshabalalisa zonke iimpondo zikaSirayeli, Wasusa isandla sakhe sokunene elutshabeni, Wamtshisa uYakobi njengomlilo olenya ngeenxa zonke.

4Isityedile isaphetha sayo njengotshaba; Wema ngasekunene kwakhe, enjengombandezeli, wayibulala yonke into enayo emehlweni akhe, ententeni yentombi enguZiyon; Wawuphalaza njengomlilo umsindo wakhe.

5uYehova waba njengotshaba, esidla uSirayeli, ewaginya zonke iingxande zakhe ezinde;

6Wawuhluba umsimelelo wakhe ngogonyamelo, ngokungathi uphuma entsimini; wazitshabalalisa iindawo zakhe zokuhlangana; uYehova uyilibele imithendeleko neesabatha zaseZiyon, yaye ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe, uye wamcekisa ukumkani nombingeleli.

7iNkosi yam isilahlile isibingelelo sayo, iyisimbile ingcwele yayo, izinikele iindonga zeengxande zayo ezinde esandleni sotshaba; benza ingxolo endlwini kaYehova njengakwimini yomthendeleko.

8uYehova ucinge ukonakalisa udonga lwentombi enguZiyon; Wolula umsonto, asatyeka enzonzobileni isandla sakhe; ke ngoko, wenza iindonga zikhala; badanile kunye.

9Amasango akhe atshonile emhlabeni; Amazwi akhe atshabalalisa, ayaphula; ukumkani wayo nabathetheli bayo baphakathi kweentlanga; umthetho awusekho; nabaprofeti bayo ababuboni ubuso bukaYehova.

10Ahlala phantsi athi cwaka amadoda amakhulu entombi enguZiyon; bagalela uthuli entloko; banxibe iingubo ezimnyama; Iintombi zaseYerusalem zithobe iintloko zazo.

11Amehlo am azele zinyembezi, ziyabila isisu sam, intliziyo yam ibuhlungu ngenxa yokwaphuka kwentombi yabantu bakowethu; ngokuba besifa isiqaqa abantwana neentsana ezitratweni zomzi.

12Bathi koonina, Iphi na ingqolowa newayini? Baphakanyiswa njengabangxwelerhiweyo ezitratweni zomzi, Ekuziphalazeni kwemiphefumlo yabo ezifubeni zoonina.

13Ndiya kungqina ngantoni na kuwe? Ndikufanekise nantoni na, ntombi yaseYerusalem? Ndibona ntoni na kuwe, ukuze ndikuthuthuzele, ntombindini iyintombi, inguZiyon? ngokuba kukhulu ngangolwandle ixesha lakho; ngubani na onokukuphilisa?

14Abaprofeti bakho bakubonisa izinto ezililize nezibubudenge, yaye ababutyhilanga ububi bakho ukuze bakuthintele ukuthinjwa; ke ndanibona imithwalo ebuxoki, nokugxothwa.

15Bonke abadlulayo bancoma; Bavuthela umlozi, bahlunguzela iintloko ngentombi enguYerusalem, besithi, Ngulo mzi na lo, lo kuthiwa kuphela kwenzwakazi, yimihlali yehlabathi lonke?

16Zonke iintshaba zakho zikwakhamisela umlomo; babetha umlozi kwaye batshixizela amazinyo; bathi, Simdlile; ngenene le yimini ebesiyilindele; siyifumene, sayibona.

17Wenza ke uYehova njengoko wayecinga; Wasifeza isigwebo, awayesiwisele umthetho kwakudala, esithi, Wawa, akananceba; uluvuyisile utshaba lwakho, Luphakamise uphondo lwababandezeli bakho.

18Intliziyo yabo ikhala kuYehova, Ludonga lwentombi enguZiyon, maziphume iinyembezi njengomlambo imini nobusuku linganqabi iliso lakho.

19Vuka, ukhale ebusuku; yiphalaze njengamanzi intliziyo yakho phambi koYehova, ekuqaleni kwemilindo; ziphakamisele kuyo izandla zakho, ngenxa yomphefumlo wabantwana bakho, ababulawa yindlala emantloko ezitrato zonke.

20Khangela, Yehova, ubone ukuba wenze kubani na le nto. Ngaba abafazi baya kudla iziqhamo zabo nabantwana ixesha elide? Ngaba umbingeleli nomprofeti baya kubulawa engcweleni kaYehova?

21Balele phantsi emhlabeni amadoda amakhulu; Umthinjana wam namadodana am awile likrele; Wababulala ngemini yomsindo wakho; nabulala, akwacoleka.

22Nakubiza ukundoyika kwam ezindaweni zonke, ngokwemini yomthendeleko, akwabakho usindayo, usalayo, ngemini yomsindo kaYehova;
