IHubo
Ezihlahleni zomphophula eBhabhiloni,
3 Ngoba abasithumbayo basicela ukuthi sibahlabelele ingoma,+
Labo ababesihleka babefuna sibathokozise besithi:
“Sihlabeleleni enye yezingoma zaseZiyoni.”
4 Singayihlabela njani ingoma kaJehova
Elizweni elingayisilo lethu?
5 Nxa ngingakukhohlwa wena Jerusalema,
Isandla sami sokudla asikhohlwe umsebenzi waso.+
6 Ulimi lwami alunamathele elwangeni lwami
Nxa ngingayekela ukukukhumbula Jerusalema,
Nxa ngingayekela ukukwenza
Ube yisizatho sami esikhulu sokuthokoza.+
7 Khumbula awu Jehova,
Ukuthi abako-Edomi babesithini ngelanga iJerusalema inqotshwa.
Babesithi, “Idilizeni! Lidilize konke lezisekelo zayo!”+
8 Ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni sekuseduze ukuthi utshabalale.+
Uyathokoza lowo ozaphindisela kuwe,
Akuphathe ngendlela osiphathe ngayo.+
9 Uyathokoza lowo ozabamba abantwabakho
Abataklazele emadwaleni.+
