Kuungudza kwaJeremia 5
1 Rangarirai Jehovha, zvakatiwira; tarirai, mugoona kunyadziswa kwedu.
Oh Thixo, khumbula okusehleleyo khangela ubone ukuyangeka kwethu.
2 Nhaka yedu yakapiwa kuvatorwa, misha yedu kumabvakure.
Ilifa lethu seliphiwe abezizweni, imizi yethu yathathwa ngabemzini.
3 Tava nherera, hatina vabereki, vanamai vedu sechirikadzi.
Sesizintandane ezingelaboyise, omama sebenjengabafelokazi.
4 Tinofanira kutenga mvura yatinonwa; huni dzedu dzinongowanikwa chete nomutengo.
Amanzi okunatha siyawathenga; inkuni zethu zikhutshelwa imali.
5 Avo vanotidzinganisa vari pedyo pedyo; taneta uye hatina zororo.
Labo abasixotshayo basihlezi ezithende; sikhathele asilakuphumula.
6 Takazviisa pasi peIjipiti neAsiria, kuti tiwane chingwa chakakwana.
Sazinikela kwabeGibhithe labe-Asiriya ukuze sizuze isinkwa.
7 Madzibaba edu akatadza uye vakafa, uye tava kurangwa nokuda kwavo.
Okhokho benza isono kodwa kabasekho, thina yithi esesijeziswa.
8 Varanda vanotitonga, uye hapana angatisunungura kubva pamaoko avo.
Sibuswa yizigqili, kakho osikhululayo ezandleni zazo.
9 Tinowana chingwa chedu nokuisa upenyu hwedu munjodzi, nokuda kwomunondo murenje.
Isinkwa sisithola ngendlela eyingozi ngenxa yenkemba ekhona enkangala.
10 Ganda redu rava kupisa sechoto, nokuda kwokupisa kwenzara.
Isikhumba sethu sitshisa njengeziko, silomkhuhlane wendlala.
11 Vakachinya vakadzi muZioni, mhandara, mumaguta eJudha.
Abesifazane bayahlukuluzwa eZiyoni kanye lezintombi ezigcweleyo emadolobheni akoJuda.
12 Machinda akasungirirwa namaoko avo; vakuru havakudzwi.
Amakhosi alengisiwe ngezandla zawo; abadala abasahlonitshwa.
13 Majaya anoshanda paguyo; vakomana vanotatarika vakatakura mitoro yehuni.
Izinsizwa ziyahoqiswa ematsheni okuchola; abafana babhensiswa yimithwalo yenkuni.
14 Vakuru vakabva pasuo reguta; majaya akarega kuimba kwavo.
Abadala sebesukile esangweni lomuzi; izinsizwa sezithule ukuhlabelela.
15 Mufaro mumwoyo medu waguma; kutamba kwedu kwapinduka kukava kuchema.
Ukuthokoza akusekho ezinhliziyweni zethu; ukugida kwethu sekuphenduke ukukhala.
16 Korona yawa kubva pamusoro wedu. Tine nhamo isu, nokuti takatadza!
Umqhele usuwile ekhanda lethu. Maye thina, ngoba sonile!
17 Nokuda kwaizvozvi mwoyo yedu yapera simba, nokuda kwezvinhu izvi meso edu otadza kuona,
Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo zethu zibuthakathaka; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu ayafiphala,
18 nokuti Gomo reZioni rava dongo, makava ofambamo.
ngoba intaba iZiyoni silugwadule, sekucathama amakhanka kuyo.
19 Imi Jehovha, munotonga nokusingaperi; chigaro chenyu choushe chiripo kuzvizvarwa zvose.
Wena, Oh Thixo, busa nini lanini; ubukhosi bakho buhlezi kuzozonke izizukulwane.
20 Sei muchigara muchitikanganwa? Sei muchitikanganwa kwenguva yakareba kudai?
Kungani uhlezi usikhohlwa? Usifulathelelani isikhathi eside kangaka na?
21 Tidzoserei kwamuri, Jehovha, kuti tigodzoka; vandudzai mazuva edu senguva yekare,
Sibuyisele kuwe, Oh Thixo, ukuze siphenduke; buyisa kabutsha insuku zethu njengezakudala,
22 kana musina kutiramba zvachose kana kutitsamwira zvikuru kwazvo.
ngaphandle kokuba nxa ususilahle kokuphela wasizondela ngokungalinganisekiyo.
