1Yeka a ukufiphala kwegolide, ukuphenduka kwegolide elihle b kakhulu! Amatshe endawo engcwele achithiwe ekuqaleni c kwazo zonke izitalada. 2Amadodana aligugu eZiyoni, alinganiswa legolide elihle d, yeka e ukuthiwa kwawo ayizitsha f zebumba g, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!

3Ngitsho amakhanka h ehlisa ibele, amunyise imidlwane yawo; kodwa indodakazi yabantu bami isilesihluku i, njengezintshe j enkangala. 4Ulimi lomunyayo lunamathela k olwangeni lwakhe ngenxa yokoma; abantwanyana l bacela isinkwa, kakho obahlephulelayo m.

5Ababesidla izibiliboco n baphundlekile ezitaladeni; abondliwa ngeziyibubende o , p bagona q inqumbi zomquba. 6Ngoba icala r , s lendodakazi yabantu bami likhulu t kulesono u seSodoma, eyachithwa v kwangathi ngomzuzwana, kungelazandla ezayonayo.

9Ababulawa ngenkemba bangcono kulababulawa yindlala; ngoba laba bayacikizeka ae behlatshwa af yikuswela izithelo zensimu. 10Izandla ag zabesifazana abalesihawu ah zapheka ai abantwana babo; baba yikudla kwabo ekwephukeni kwendodakazi yabantu bami.

11INkosi iphelelisile aj intukuthelo yayo, ithululile ak ukuvutha al kolaka lwayo, yaphemba am umlilo eZiyoni oqothule izisekelo zayo. 12Amakhosi omhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba babengayikukholwa ukuthi umcindezeli lesitha babengangena emasangweni eJerusalema.

13Kwakungenxa an yezono zabaprofethi bayo leziphambeko ao zabapristi bayo, abachitha ap igazi labalungileyo phakathi kwayo. 14Bazula njengeziphofu ezitaladeni, bangcoliswa aq ngegazi, kangangokuthi ar abantu kabangelakuthinta izembatho zabo.
