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.
