8. Ndiboné ebusuku, nanko umntu ekhwele ehasheni elibomvu; waye ke emi phakathi kwemimirtile* ebisenyobeni, ngasemva kwakhe ingamahashe, abomvu, nangwevu, namhlophe.
9. Ndathi, Ngoobani na aba, nkosi yam? Sathi kum isithunywa ebesithetha nam, Ndokubonisa ukuba ngoobani na aba.
10. Waphendula umntu obemi phakathi kwemimirtile wathi, Aba ngabathunywe nguYehova, ukuba balihambahambe ihlabathi.
11. Basiphendula isithunywa sikaYehova ebesimi phakathi kwemimirtile, bathi, Silihambahambile ihlabathi, nalo lonke ihlabathi lihleli lizolile.
12. Saphendula ke isithunywa sikaYehova, sathi, Yehova wemikhosi, koba nini na ungàsikwa yimfesane wena, ngenxa yeYerusalem nemizi yakwaYuda, owayibhavumelayo le minyaka imashumi asixhenxe?
13. UYehova wasiphendula isithunywa esibe sithetha nam, ngamazwi alungileyo, ngamazwi athuthuzelayo.
14. Sathi kum isithunywa esibe sithetha nam, Memeza uthi, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ndinekhwele, ikhwele elikhulu, ngeYerusalem nangeZiyon.
15. Ndinoburhalarhume obukhulu kuzo iintlanga ezihleli ngokonwaba; ngokokuba bendinoburhalarhume mna umzuzwana, ke zona zongezelelela ububi.
16. Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ndiyibuyele iYerusalem ngemfesane; indlu yam iya kwakhelwa khona, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ulutya lokulinganisa luya kolulwa phezu kweYerusalem.
17. Buya umemeze, uthi, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Imizi yam isaya kuphalala okulungileyo; uYehova usaya kuyithuthuzela iZiyon, ayinyule iYerusalem.
18. Ndaphakamisa amehlo am, ndakhangela, nanzo iimpondo, ziné.
