Kuungudza kwaJeremia 5
1 Rangarirai Jehovha, zvakatiwira; tarirai, mugoona kunyadziswa kwedu.
Khumbula, Nkosi, ukuthi kwenzakaleni kithi; khangela, ubone ihlazo lethu.
2 Nhaka yedu yakapiwa kuvatorwa, misha yedu kumabvakure.
Ilifa lethu seliphendulelwe kwabezizwe, izindlu zethu kwabemzini.
3 Tava nherera, hatina vabereki, vanamai vedu sechirikadzi.
Siyizintandane, kungelababa; omama banjengabafelokazi.
4 Tinofanira kutenga mvura yatinonwa; huni dzedu dzinongowanikwa chete nomutengo.
Amanzi ethu siwanathile ngemali; inkuni zethu ziza ngentengo.
5 Avo vanotidzinganisa vari pedyo pedyo; taneta uye hatina zororo.
Sizingelwa ezintanyeni zethu, sidiniwe, kasilakuphumula.
6 Takazviisa pasi peIjipiti neAsiria, kuti tiwane chingwa chakakwana.
Sinike isandla sethu kwabeGibhithe, labeAsiriya, ukuze sisuthiswe ngesinkwa.
7 Madzibaba edu akatadza uye vakafa, uye tava kurangwa nokuda kwavo.
Obaba bona, kabasekho, njalo thina sithwele iziphambeko zabo.
8 Varanda vanotitonga, uye hapana angatisunungura kubva pamaoko avo.
Izigqili ziyasibusa, kakho ongasihluthuna esandleni sazo.
9 Tinowana chingwa chedu nokuisa upenyu hwedu munjodzi, nokuda kwomunondo murenje.
Sizuza isinkwa sethu ngengozi yempilo yethu, ngenxa yenkemba yenkangala.
10 Ganda redu rava kupisa sechoto, nokuda kwokupisa kwenzara.
Ijwabu lethu limnyama njengeziko ngenxa yokutshisa okukhulu kwendlala.
11 Vakachinya vakadzi muZioni, mhandara, mumaguta eJudha.
Badlova abesifazana eZiyoni, izintombi ezimsulwa emizini yakoJuda.
12 Machinda akasungirirwa namaoko avo; vakuru havakudzwi.
Iziphathamandla zaphanyekwa ngesandla sazo; ubuso babadala kabuhlonitshwanga.
13 Majaya anoshanda paguyo; vakomana vanotatarika vakatakura mitoro yehuni.
Amajaha athwala amatshe okuchola, labafana bakhubeka ngaphansi kwenkuni.
14 Vakuru vakabva pasuo reguta; majaya akarega kuimba kwavo.
Abadala baphelile esangweni, amajaha ekuhlabeleleni.
15 Mufaro mumwoyo medu waguma; kutamba kwedu kwapinduka kukava kuchema.
Intokozo yenhliziyo yethu iphelile, ukugida kwethu kwaphenduka ukulila.
16 Korona yawa kubva pamusoro wedu. Tine nhamo isu, nokuti takatadza!
Umqhele wekhanda lethu uwile; hawu, maye kithi, ngoba sonile!
17 Nokuda kwaizvozvi mwoyo yedu yapera simba, nokuda kwezvinhu izvi meso edu otadza kuona,
Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo yethu iphela amandla; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu afiphele.
18 nokuti Gomo reZioni rava dongo, makava ofambamo.
Ngenxa yentaba yeZiyoni elunxiwa, amakhanka ahamba phezu kwayo.
19 Imi Jehovha, munotonga nokusingaperi; chigaro chenyu choushe chiripo kuzvizvarwa zvose.
Wena, Nkosi, uhlezi kuze kube nininini, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sisuka esizukulwaneni sisiya esizukulwaneni.
20 Sei muchigara muchitikanganwa? Sei muchitikanganwa kwenguva yakareba kudai?
Usikhohlweleni njalonjalo, usidela okobude bezinsuku?
21 Tidzoserei kwamuri, Jehovha, kuti tigodzoka; vandudzai mazuva edu senguva yekare,
Siphendulele kuwe, Nkosi, sizaphenduka; yenza insuku zethu zibe zintsha njengasendulo.
22 kana musina kutiramba zvachose kana kutitsamwira zvikuru kwazvo.
Kodwa ususilahlile isibili; usithukuthelele kakhulukazi.
