Maye kulo idolobho labancindezeli, elihlamukayo lelingcolileyo!

2 Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za kea runetagre'za, zamavumro'ma anteankea antahi'za novaririze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzantera zamentintia nosu'za, Agritera erava'oa nosaze.

Kalilaleli muntu, kalivumi kukhuzwa. Kalithembeli kuThixo, kalisondeli kuNkulunkulu walo.

3 Jerusalemi kumate kva vahe'mo'za, laionimo ran krafa huno vano nehiankna nehazage'za, keagama refko'ma nehaza kva vahe'mo'za, kinagafima vanoma nehaza afi kramo'za kenage zagagafa ahe'za nevaga retazageno masa nehiankna nehaze.

Izikhulu zalo ziyizilwane ezibhongayo, ababusi balo bazimpisi zakusihlwa, ezingatshiyi lutho lwekuseni.

4 Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehu'za, tusi hazenke vahe mani'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasegea runetagare'za, Ra Anumzamofo Mono nona eri pehena hu'naze.

Abaphrofethi balo bayazazisa; bangabantu bamacebo amabi. Abaphristi balo bangcolisa indawo engcwele bephule lomthetho.

5 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi ran kumapina ko'ma nemanire mani'neankino, Agra mago havizana nosie. Knane knanena Agra fatgo huno vahera refko hunezamante'neanagi, vahe'mo'za Agrira keamara nosaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamagaze zana nomane.

UThixo phakathi kwalo ulungile; kenzi okubi, nsuku zonke ekuseni wenza ukulunga kwakhe njalo kaphambanisi ukusa kwamalanga wonke, ikanti abangalunganga kabalanhloni.

6 Nagra rama'a kumatamimpi vahera zamahe vagarogeno, mani'nezama kuma'ma kegavama nehaza zaza nozmimo'a haviza huno me'ne. Kuma zamifima vanoma nehaza ne'onse kantamina eri haviza huge'za vahera vano osazageno, ranra kumazmimo'a haviza huno megeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfaza hu'ne.

“Ngizichithile izizwe; izinqaba zazo zidiliziwe. Ngitshiye imigwaqo yazo ideliwe kungekho odlula khona. Amadolobho azo adiliziwe; kakho ozasala kakho lamunye.

7 Nagrama antahuana tamagerfa hu'za Nagri agoraga nemani'za, Nagrama zamavumro'ma antoanke'ma antahisage'na kumazmia eri haviza osugahue hu'na antahi'noe. Hianagi zamagra maka'zama hazafina, kazigazi hu'za havi avu'ava zana hu'za vu'naze.

Ngathi kulo idolobho, ‘Impela uzangesaba uvume ukukhuzwa!’ Lapho-ke indlu yalo yokuhlala yayingayikudilizwa loba isijeziso sami sehlele phezu kwalo. Kodwa babelokhu betshisekela izenzo zokuxhwala kukho konke abakwenzayo.

8 E'ina hu'negu akoheta Nagri navega anteta maniho huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Nagrama oti'na keagama huzmante'sanua knazupa, ko antahintahi retro hu'noanki'na kokankokama nemaniza vahe'ene kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri atru hute'na, narimpa ahe'zana zamagrite eri akaha hu atregahue. Nagrama kanivema rezamantesanua narimpa ahe'zamo'a, teve nefakna huno maka ama mopa teno eri fanane hugahie.

Ngakho ngilindela,” kutsho uThixo, “lolusuku engizasukuma ngalo ngifakaze. Sengimise ukubuthanisa izizwe, ngiqoqe imibuso, ngehlisele ulaka lwami phezu kwabo konke ukuthukuthela kwami okukhulu. Umhlaba wonke uzaqothulwa ngomlilo womona wentukuthelo yami.”

9 Ana zupa maka kokankoka vahera zamagerura eri agru hanuge'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na Nagia ahentesga hu'za monora hunante'gahaze.

“Lapho-ke ngizahlambulula izindebe zezizwe, ukuze zonke zikhuleke ebizweni likaThixo zimkhonze zimanyane.

10 Nagri'ma mono'ma hunenantaza vahe'nima zamahe panani'ma hazage'za Itiopia mopafima mane'nea timofo kantu kazigama umani'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagritega ofa eri'za egahaze.

Kusukela ngaphetsheya kwemifula yaseKhushi abakhonzi bami, abantu bami abahlakazekileyo, bazangilethela iminikelo.

11 Nagri kema nontahita veganokano'ma hu'naza zankura, e'i ana zupa tamagazegura osugahaze. Na'ankure ru'enena tamagra Nagrira hara reonantegahaze. Tamagri amu'nompintira zamavufaga rama nehu'za kema nontahiza vahera zamazeri atregahue. Ana hanugeno ruotage'ma hu'nea agona'nifina zamavufaga rama nehaza vahera omanigahaze.

Ngalolosuku kaliyikuyangiswa ngobubi bonke elabenza kimi, ngoba ngizabasusa kulelidolobho abathokoziswa yikuzigqaja kwabo. Kaliyikuzikhukhumeza futhi entabeni yami engcwele.

12 Hianagi akohe'zama nemani'za, zamavufagama anteramiza nemaniza vaheke zamatrenuge'za manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi frakiza nemaniza vahe mani'naze.

Kodwa ngizatshiya phakathi kwenu abathambileyo labathobekileyo, abathembele ebizweni likaThixo.

13 Israeli naga'ma osi'ama manisaza vahe'mo'za mago hazenkea nosu'za, mago havigea nosu'za, magore hu'za havigea huza vahera rezamataga osugahaze. Ana nehu'za zamagra ne'zana nezamu nehu'za, mani fru hu'za nemani'nageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamazeri korora osugahie.

Kabayikwenza okubi; kabayikuqamba amanga, loba kube lenkohliso emilonyeni yabo. Bazakudla balale phansi, kakho ozabenza besabe.”

14 Hagi Saioni mofamoka zagamera nehuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za rankea hu'za kezati'za zagamera hiho. Jerusalemi mofa'moka maka kagu'areti hunka musenkasea nehugeno, karimpamo'a so'e hino.

Hlabela wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, klabalala kakhulu, wena Israyeli! Thaba uthokoze ngenhliziyo yakho yonke wena ndodakazi yaseJerusalema!

15 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma keaga huneramante'no tamazeri haviza hugahuema huno hu'nea zana eri netreno, tamagri ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahera zamaretufege'za vu'naze. Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzana Agra'a Israeli vahe'mota Kinimo tamagri amu'nompina manigahie. Ana hanigeta hazenke'zama e'zankura korora osugahaze.

UThixo usesisusile isijeziso sakho, usesixotshile isitha sakho. UThixo, iNkosi ka-Israyeli, ulawe; akulangozi ozaphinda uyesabe futhi.

16 Ana kna zupa Jerusalemi kumakura hu'za, Saioni agonamoka korora nehunka atregeno kazamo'a arage oramino hu'za hugahaze.

Ngalolosuku bazakuthi kulo iJerusalema, “Ungesabi, wena Ziyoni; ungavumeli ukuba izandla zakho zibe buthakathaka.

17 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo kagri amu'nompina mani'ne. Agra hankavenentake harafa ne' mani'ne. Agra kagrikura tusi muse hugahiankino, avesi zama'areti koroma nehana zana maka eri amne hugahie. Kagrikura ranke huno zagamera nehuno, Agra musenkasea hugahie.

UThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ulawe, ulamandla okusindisa. Uzathokoza kakhulu ngawe, uzakududuza ngothando lwakhe, uzakuthokozela ngokuhlabelela.”

18 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, musenkasema nehaza knare'ma musema osu'naza zanku'ma tamasunku'ma nehaza vahera zamavare atru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena tamazeri tamagazea hanageta tamagazegura osugahaze.

“Insizi zemikhosi emisiweyo ngizazisusa kuwe; zingumthwalo lehlazo kuwe.

19 Tamagri'ma knazama tamiza tamazeri havizama hu'naza vahera, ana knazupa hazenke zamigahue. Hanki zamagama havizama hu'nea vahera zamagu'nevazi'na, vahe'mo'zama zamahe'za zamarotago'ma hazage'zama fre'naza vahera ete magopi zamavare tru hugahue. Ru kumategama vuta kinama ome hutama mani'nage'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za kiza zokago ke huneramante'za huhaviza huramante'naze. Hianagi menina ete zamagu'a eri rukrahe hanuge'za, tamagrira husga huramantegahaze.

Ngalesosikhathi ngizababona bonke abalincindezelayo; ngizahlenga abaqhulayo ngibuthe lalabo abahlakazwayo, ngizabapha udumo lenhlonipho kuwo wonke amazwe lapho abahlaziswa khona.

20 Ana kna zupa tamagrira magopi tamavre tru hute'na, tamavre'na nonkuma tamire ete egahue. Ama mopafima mani'naza vahe amu'nompintira, tamagrira knare tamagi tamisuge'za tamagesga hugahaze. Tamagra'a tamavufinti negesage'na tamazeri so'e hugahue. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama nanekea hue!

Ngalesosikhathi ngizalibutha; ngalesosikhathi ngizalisa ekhaya. Ngizalipha inhlonipho lodumo phakathi kwezizwe zonke zasemhlabeni lapho sengiliphumelelisa futhi phambi kwamehlo enu uqobo,” kutsho uThixo.
