2. Nyana womntu, ngenxa enokuba iTire isithi ngeYerusalem, Tshotsho! lwaphukile ucango lwezizwe; luvulekele kum; ndiya kuchuma mna, ibe linxuwa yona!
3. ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Tire. Ndiya kukunyusela iintlanga ezininzi, njengokuba ulwandle lunyusa amaza alo;
4. ziziqhuqhe iindonga zaseTire, zizigungxule iinqaba zakho ezinde. Ndolutshayela uthuli lwayo kuyo, ndiyenze ibe yingxondorha ebalelelwe lilanga.
5. Iya kuba yindawo yokwanekela iminatha phakathi kolwandle; ngokuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uYehova; ibe lixhoba leentlanga.
6. Namagxamesi ayo asemaphandleni aya kubulawa ngekrele; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
7. Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, iTire ndiya kuyizisela uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, evela entla, ukumkani wookumkani, enamahashe neenqwelo zokulwa, nabakhweli, nesikhungu sabantu, nabantu abaninzi.
8. Amagxamesi akho asemaphandleni úya kuwabulala ngekrele, akumisele inqaba yokubonisela, afumbe kuwe udonga lokungqinga, akumisele ikhusi lamakhaka;
9. abhekise ezindongeni zakho iimpahla zakhe zokutyhomfa, azidilize iinqaba zakho ezinde ngeentsimbi zakhe.
10. Ngenxa yoninzi lwamahashe akhe, uthuli lwawo luya kukugubungela; iindonga zakho ziya kunyikima ngenxa yesandi sabakhweli, neseevili, neseenqwelo zokulwa, ekungeneni kwakhe ngamasango akho, njengabangena emzini oqhekezwayo.
11. Ngamanqina amahashe akhe úya kuzigqusha izitrato zakho zonke; úya kubabulala abantu bakho ngekrele, iintsika zakho ezinamandla aziwise emhlabeni.
12. Baya kubuthimba ubutyebi bakho, bayiphange into orhweba ngayo, bazigunguxule iindonga zakho, bazidilize izindlu zakho ezinqwenelekayo, bawatshonise emanzini amatye akho, nemithi yakho, nothuli lwakho.
13. Ndoluphelisa ulwandile lweengoma zakho, singabi saviwa isandi seehadi zakho.
14. Ndokwenza ube yingxondorha ebalelelwe lilanga; ùya kuba yindawo yokwaneka iminatha. Akusayi kuba sakhiwa; ngokuba mna Yehova ndithethile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
