1 Ukuba ùthe wabuya, Sirayeli, utsho uYehova, wabuyela kum; wawasusa amazothe akho phambi kwam, àkwaphalaphala;
2 wafunga wathi, Ehleli nje uYehova, ngokwenyaniso, ngokusesikweni, nangobulungisa; zózisikelela ngaye iintlanga, ziqhayise ngaye.
3 Ngokuba uthi uYehova kumadoda akwaYuda nakwiYerusalem, Zikhubeleleni intsinde, ningahlwayeli emithaneni enameva.
4 Zaluseleni kuYehova, nisuse ukungaluki kwentliziyo yenu, madoda akwaYuda, bemi baseYerusalem; hleze buphume ubushushu bam njengomlilo, buvuthe kungabikho ucimayo, ngenxa yobubi beentlondi zenu.
5 Xelani kwaYuda, nivakalise eYerusalem, nithi, Vuthelani isigodlo elizweni; dandulukani, nithi, Hlanganisanani, singene emizini enqatyisiweyo.
6 Phakamisani ibhanile* ngaseZiyon, sabani, ningemi; kuba entla ndizisa ububi, nembubhiso enkulu.
