UISAYA 62
IZiyon iya kuba lukhanyiso lwehlabathi liphela
1Ngenxa yeZiyon andiyi kuthi tu, ngenxa yeYerusalem andiyi kuzola, bude buphume njengokusa ubulungisa bayo, nosindiso lwayo njengesikhuni esidangazelayo; 2zibubone iintlanga ubulungsia bakho, nookumkani bonke babubone ubuqaqawuli bakho. Ùya kubizwa ngegama elitsha, eliya kuxelwa ngumlomo kaYehova; 3ube sisithsaba sokuhomba esandleni sikaYehova, nonkontsho lobukumkani entendeni yesandla soThixo wakho. 4Akuyi kuba sathiwa kuwe unguSishiywa, nelizwe lakho akuyi kuba sathiwa kulo, Kusenkangala; ukubizwa kwakho kuya kuthiwa unguNdimnanzileyo, nelizwe lakho kuthiwe nguNokwenda; ngokuba uYehova ekunanzile, nelizwe lakho lendile. 5Njengokuba indodana izeka intombi, oonyana bakho baya kuzeka wena; njengomyeni enemihlali ngomtshakazi, uThixo wakho uya kuba nemihlali ngawe.
6Phezu kweendonga zakho, Yerusalem, ndimisé abagcini; imini yonke nobusuku bonke abayi kuze bathi quthu; nina bakhumbuzi bakaYehova, musani ukuthi cwaka. 7Musani ukuvuma ukuba athi cwaka, ade ayizinzise, ade ayenze iYerusalem ibe yindumiso ehlabathini. 8UYehova ufungé isandla sakhe sokunene, nengalo yakhe eqinileyo, wathi, Inyaniso, ingqolowa yakhe andiyi kuba sayinika iintshaba zakho ziyidle, noonyana bolunye uhlanga bangaseli iwayini yakho entsha, owazixhamla ngayo. 9Kuba ngabayihlanganisileyo abaya kuyidla, badumise uYehova; ngabayibutháyo abaya kuyisela ezintendelezweni zengcwele yam.
10Phumani, phumani ngamasango; gecani indlela yabantu; fumbani, fumbani umendo, ncothulani amatye kuwo; nyusani ibhanile• phezu kwezizwe. 11Yabona, uYehova uvakalisile wesa eziphelweni zehlabathi, wathi, Yithini kwintombi enguZiyon, Yabona, usindiso lwakho luyeza; yabona, umvuzo wakhe únawo, nento ayisebenzileyo iphambi kwakhe. 12Ukubizwa kwabo kuya kuthiwa ngabantu abangcwele, ngabakhululwa bakaYehova ngokumiselwa; ukubizwa kwakho kuthiwe, ùngofuniweyo, ungumzi ongàshiyiweyo.
