1 Ihubo lika-Asafi Oh Nkulunkulu, izizwe sezilingenele ilifa lakho; sezilingcolisile ithempeli lakho eligcwele, iJerusalema isibhidliziwe yaba luthuli.
Nkunga Asafi. A Nzambi! Makanda mabulumukini kuika kiaku, Masumuna nzoꞌaku yinlongo, makitula Yelusalemi kunza ki matadi.
2 Izidumbu zezinceku zakho sebezilahlile ukuba yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni, inyama yabangcwele bakho yaba yikudla kwezilo zelizwe.
Bavana zinitu zifua zi bisadi biaku banga bidia kuidi zinuni zi diyilu minsuni mi banlongo baku kuidi bibulu bi ntoto;
3 Balichithile igazi njengamanzi bahonqolozela ngalo iJerusalema, kasekho ozangcwaba abafileyo.
Batengudi menga banga nlangu mu yendila Yelusalemi ayi kusia monika ko mutu mu zika.
4 Siyizinto zokuchothozwa kubomakhelwane bethu, inhlekisa lokweyiswa yibo bonke esihlala labo.
Tuyikidi bila ki lusembo kuidi bafikimini yeto; mvuezolo ayi kisekonono kuidi bobo batuzungididi.
5 Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzazonda kuze kube nininini na? Koze kube nini ubukhwele bakho butshisa njengomlilo na?
Nate thangu mbi, a Yave? Wela fueminanga mu zithangu zioso e? Nate thangu mbi kiphala kiaku kiela leminanga banga mbazu e?
6 Thululela intukuthelo yakho kulezozizwe ezingakunanziyo, ezingalibiziyo ibizo lakho
Dukula miangu miaku kuidi makanda momo masia kuzaba ko, kuidi bipfumu biobi kabi telanga ko dizina diaku.
7 ngoba zimchithile uJakhobe zalibhidliza ilizwe lakibo.
Bila bameni dia Yakobi, ayi bamana tiolumuna tsi andi yikabutukila.
8 Ungawethesi thina umlandu wabokhokho; sengathi isihawu sakho singeza masinyane ukuzasivikela, ngoba sesisebunzimeni obubi.
Kadi kututangila masumu ma bakulu! Bika kiadi kiaku kiza nsualu kuidi beto bila tueka mu mabienga makambulu diana.
9 Sisize, awu Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ngenxa yobukhosi bebizo lakho; sikhulule uthethelele izono zethu, ngenxa yebizo lakho.
Wutusadila, a Nzambi Mvulusi eto mu diambu di nkembo wu dizina diaku! Wutukuidi ayi wutulemvukila masumu meto mu diambu di dizina diaku!
10 Kungani izizwe zisithi, “Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wabo?” Yenza emehlweni ethu, kwaziwe phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi uyaliphindisela igazi lezinceku zakho elachithwayo.
Bila mbi makanda meti tubila: “Kuevi kuidi Nzambi e?” va ntuala meso meto, zabikisa va khatitsika makanda ti ngeyo weti vutula landi mu menga matenguka ma bisadi biaku,
11 Sengathi ukububula kwezibotshwa kungafinyelela kuwe; ngamandla engalo yakho sindisa labo abagwetshelwe ukufa.
Bika kunga ku batu badi mu nloko kutula va ntualꞌaku. Mu zingolo zi koko kuaku, tanina bobo bazengolo nkanu wu lufua.
12 Baphindisele kasikhombisa omakhelwane bethu ngezinhlamba ababekuchaphaza ngazo, Thixo.
Vutudila mu zikhumbu tsambuadi bifingu bi bobo batufikimini; tsembolo yoyi bawobudila ngeyo Yave.
13 Kuzakuthi-ke thina abantu bakho, izimvu zedlelo lakho, sikudumise laphakade; kusuka esizukulwaneni kusiya esizukulwaneni sizabalisa udumo lwakho.
Buna beto batu baku, nkangu aku wu mamemi weti dikila; tuela kuzitisa mu zithangu zioso; mu tsungi ka tsungi, tuela yolukila minzitusu miaku.
