1 Maye kowenyanyekayo longcolileyo, umuzi ocindezelayo ^a! 2 Kawulalelanga ilizwi ^b; kawemukelanga ukulaywa ^c; kawuthembelanga eNkosini; kawusondelanga kuNkulunkulu wawo ^d. 3 Iziphathamandla zawo phakathi kwawo ^{e
,} ^f ziyizilwane ezibhongayo ^g; abahluleli bawo ^h bazimpisi ⁱ zokuhlwa ^j; kazikhukhuzi ithambo ekuseni. 4 Abaprofethi bawo ^{k
,} ^l bangabangakhathaliyo, abantu abakhohlisayo ^m; abapristi bawo ⁿ sebengcolise indawo engcwele ^o, benze udlakela kumthetho ^p. 5 INkosi elungileyo ^q iphakathi kwawo ^r, kayiyikwenza ububi ^s; ukusa ngokusa ibeka isahlulelo sayo ekukhanyeni, kayiphuthi ^t; kodwa ongalunganga kazi inhloni ^u.

6 Ngiziqumile izizwe ^v, izingonsi zazo zingamanxiwa ^w, ngenzile izitalada zazo incithakalo, ukuze kungadluli muntu ^x; imizi yazo idiliziwe, kakusekho muntu, kakulamhlali ^y. 7 Ngathi: Isibili uzangesaba ^z, wemukele ukulaywa ^aa; ukuze indawo yakhe yokuhlala ingaqunywa, konke engimjezisa ngakho ^ab; sibili bavuka ngovivi ^ac, bazonakalise zonke izenzo zabo ^ad.

8 Ngakho ngilindelani, itsho iNkosi ^ae, kuze kube lusuku engizavukela impango ^af ngalo. Ngoba isahlulelo sami siyikubuthelela izizwe ^ag, ukuze ngiqoqe imibuso ^ah, ngithululele phezu kwabo intukuthelo yami, konke ukuvutha kolaka lwami; ngoba umhlaba wonke uzaqothulwa ngumlilo wobukhwele bami ^ai. 9 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi ngizabuyisela ebantwini ulimi oluhlambulukileyo ^aj, ukuze bonke babize ibizo leNkosi, ukuze bayikhonze ngahlombe linye. 10 Kusukela phetsheya kwemifula ^ak yeEthiyophiya ^al abancengi bami, indodakazi yabahlakazekileyo bami ^am, bazaletha ^an umnikelo wami ^ao.

11 Ngalolosuku ^ap kawuyikuyangeka ngenxa yezenzo zakho zonke ^aq, ophambuke ngazo kimi, ngoba ngalesosikhathi ngizakhupha phakathi kwakho abathokoza ekuzikhukhumezeni kwakho ^ar; futhi kawusayikubuya uziphakamise entabeni yami engcwele ^as. 12 Njalo ngizatshiya phakathi kwakho abantu abahluphekileyo labangabayanga ^at; bona bazathemba ebizweni likaJehova ^au. 13 Insali yakoIsrayeli ^av kayiyikwenza ububi ^aw, kayiyikukhuluma amanga ^ax; njalo kakuyikufunyanwa ulimi olukhohlisayo emlonyeni wayo ^ay; ngoba bona bazakudla ^az balale phansi ^{ba
,} ^bb, njalo kungekho obesabisayo ^bc. 14 Hlabelela ^bd, ndodakazi yeZiyoni ^be; memeza, Israyeli ^bf; thokoza, ujabule ngenhliziyo yonke, ndodakazi yeJerusalema. 15 INkosi isusile izahlulelo zakho, isixotshile isitha sakho; inkosi yakoIsrayeli ^bg, uJehova, iphakathi kwakho ^bh; kawusayikubona okubi ^bi. 16 Ngalolosuku ^bj kuzakuthiwa kuyo iJerusalema: Ungesabi ^bk; lawe Ziyoni, kazingadangali ^bl izandla zakho ^bm. 17 INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho phakathi kwakho ilamandla ^bn, izasindisa; izajabula ngawe ngentokozo ^bo; izathula othandweni lwayo, ithabe ngawe ngokuhlabelela.

18 Ngizababutha abadabuka ngenxa ^bp yenhlangano emisiweyo, bevela kuwe ^bq; ihlazo lingumthwalo kubo. 19 Khangela, ngalesosikhathi ngizakuba lokwenza ^br labo bonke abakuhluphayo ^bs; ngisindise oqhulayo ^bt, ngibuthe ^bu oxotshiweyo ^bv; ngibabeke babe yindumiso ^{bw
,} ^bx lebizo ^by kulo lonke ilizwe lehlazo labo. 20 Ngalesosikhathi ^bz ngizalingenisa ^ca, langesikhathi engizalibuthelela ngaso; ngoba ngizalenza libe libizo ^cb lendumiso ^{cc
,} ^cd phakathi kwabantu bonke bomhlaba, lapho sengibuyisa ^ce abathunjiweyo benu phambi kwamehlo enu, itsho iNkosi.
