1 Ngalolo suku abesifazane abayisikhombisa bayakubamba indoda inye, bathi: “Siyakudla isinkwa sethu, sembathe izingubo zethu. Masibizwe kuphela ngegama lakho, ususe ihlazo lethu.”
2 Ngalolo suku ihlumela likaJehova liyakuba lihle, libe nenkazimulo, nezithelo zomhlaba ziyakuba nodumo nobuhle kwabaphunyukileyo bakwa-Israyeli.
3 Kuyakuthi yena oshiyiwe eSiyoni naye osele eJerusalema, bathiwe bangcwele, bonke abalotshelwe ukuphila eJerusalema,
4 lapho iNkosi igezile insila yamadodakazi aseJerusalema, nalapho isihlanzile igazi laseJerusalema phakathi kwalo ngomoya wokwahlulela nangomoya wokushisa.
5 UJehova uyakudala phezu kwayo yonke indawo yentaba yaseSiyoni naphezu kwemihlangano yayo ifu nomusi emini nokukhanya kwelangabi lomlilo ebusuku, ngokuba phezu kwayo yonke inkazimulo kuyakuba khona isivikelo.
6 Kuyakuba khona idokodo, libe ngumthunzi ekushiseni kwemini nesiphephelo nesivikelo esivunguvungwini nasemvuleni.
