UJEREMIYA 47

Bheka, amanzi ayenyuka enyakatho,

abe-ngumfula okhukhulayo,

akhukhule izwe nokugcwala kwalo,

umuzi nabakhileyo kuwo;

abantu bayakukhala,

bonke abakhileyo ezweni bahewule.

₃Ngomsindo wokudubhuza kwezinselo zamahashi akhe anamandla,

nangokuduma kwezinqola zakhe,

nangodumo lwamasondo akhe

oyise ababheki emuva kubantwana ngenxa yobuthakathaka bezandla zabo

₄ngenxa yosuku olufika ukuchitha onke amaFilisti

nokunquma eTire naseSidoni bonke abasizi abaseleyo,

ngokuba uJehova uyakuwachitha amaFilisti,

insali yesiqhingi saseKafitori.

₅Ubumpandla bulehlele iGaza;

iAshikeloni liphelile, insali yesigodi sabo;

₆Awu wena-nkemba kaJehova,

koze kube-nini ungathuli na?

Buyela emgodleni wakho,

uthule, uzole.

₇Ingathula kanjani, lapho iyalezwé nguJehova, na?

Uyinqumele iAshikeloni nogu lolwandle.
