7. Ndolisusa igazi lemibingelelo yawo emlonyeni wawo, nezinto zawo ezinezothe emazinyweni awo; kwanawo aya kusalela uThixo wethu, abe njengenkosana kwaYuda, ne-Ekron ibe njengomYebhusi.
8. Ndoyinqabisa indlu yam kumkhosi, kodlulayo nakobuyayo, kungabi sacanda mkhandanisi kubo; ngokuba ngoku ndibonile ngamehlo am.
9. Gcoba kunene, ntombi inguZiyon; duma, ntombi inguYerusalem; yabona, uKumkani wakho uza kuwe, elilùngisa, enosindiso, enentobeko, ekhwele e-esileni, exhamxweni, etholeni lemazi yeesile.
10. Ndozinqumla iinqwelo zokulwa kwaEfrayim namahashe eYerusalem, sinqunyulwe isaphetha sokulwa; athethe uxolo kwiintlanga; ulawulo lwakhe luthabathele elwandle luse elwandle, luthabathele kuwo uMlambo* luse eziphelweni zehlabathi.
11. Nawe, ngenxa yegazi lomnqophiso wakho, ndiyabandulula ababanjiweyo bakho, baphume emhadini ongenamanzi.
12. Buyelani enqabeni, babanjwandini banethemba; nanamhla ndiyaxela, ndithi, Ndiya kukubuyisela ngokuphindiweyo.
13. Ngokuba ndimgobile uYuda, isaphetha sam; ndimfakile uEfrayim, utolo lwam; ndiya kubaxhokonxa oonyana bakho, Ziyon, koonyana bakho, Yavan,* ndikwenze ube njengekrele legorha.
14. UYehova uya kubonakala phezu kwabo, luphume njengombane utolo lwakhe; iNkosi uYehova iya kuvuthela isigodlo, ihambe ngemimoya evuthuzayo yasezantsi.
15. UYehova wemikhosi uya kubakhusela ngaphezulu, badle, banyathele amatye okusawula, basele, baxokozele ngokwasewayinini; bazale ngokweengqayi, ngokweembombo zesibingelelo.
16. Wóbasindisa abantu bakhe uYehova uThixo wabo ngaloo mini, njengomhlambi; ngokuba bengamatye esithsaba, abengezela emhlabeni wakhe.
17. Kuba kungakanani na ukulunga kwabo, bungakanani na ubuhle babo! Ingqolowa iya konwabisa umlisela, iwayini entsha iwonwabise umthinjana.
