Ingoma Yesivini
1 Ngizahlabelela lowo engimthandayo
ingoma ngesivini sakhe:
Othandwa yimi wayelesivini
eqaqeni oluvundileyo.
2 Wasigebha, wasusa amatshe kuso,
wahlanyela kuso amavini amahle.
Wakha umphotshongo ophakemeyo phakathi kwaso
njalo wagebha lesikhamelo sewayini kuso.
Walindela izithelo ezinhle,
kodwa amavini athela ezimbi kuphela.
3 "Manje-ke lina abahlala eJerusalema lani madoda akoJuda,
yahlulelani phakathi kwami lesivini sami.
4 Kuyini okudlula lapho okwakumele kwenziwe esivinini sami
engingakwenzanga kuso na?
Lapho ngangilindele izithelo ezinhle
kungani sona sathela ezimbi kuphela na?
5 Khathesi-ke sengizalitshela
engizakwenza esivinini sami:
Ngizasusa uthango lwaso;
sizadilizwa.
Ngizabhidliza umduli waso,
sizagxotshwa ngezinyawo.
6 Ngizasenza sibe liganga
kungabikho ukuthenwa kumbe ukuhlakulwa;
inkotha lameva kuzakhula kuso.
Ngizalaya amayezi
anganisi zulu kuso."
7 Isivini sikaThixo uSomandla
yindlu ka-Israyeli;
abantu bakoJuda
bayinsimu eligugu kuye.
Wayelindele okufaneleyo,
kodwa wabona ukuchitheka kwegazi;
endaweni yokulunga, wezwa ukukhala kosizi.
