Ibizo leZiyoni elitsha (1-12)
62 Angisoze ngiqhubeke ngithule ngenxa yeZiyoni,+Kangisoze ngiqhubeke ngigoqe izandla ngenxa yeJerusalema,Ukulunga kwayo kuze kukhanye njengokukhanya okukhulu,+Lensindiso yayo ibhebhe njengesibane.+
2 “Izizwe zizabona ukulunga kwakho wena Jerusalema,*+Lamakhosi wonke ayibone inkazimulo yakho.+
Uzabizwa ngebizo elitsha,+Ibizo elizaphuma emlonyeni kaJehova.
3 Uzakuba ngumqhele wobuhle esandleni sikaJehova,Ube yiqhiye yesikhosini esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.
4 Awusoze uphinde ubizwe ngokuthi ungowesifazana olahliweyo,+Lelizwe lakho kalisoze liphinde libizwe ngokuthi lunxiwa.+
Kodwa uzabizwa ngokuthi, iNjabulo Yami Ikuye,+Ilizwe lakho libizwe ngokuthi, Otshadileyo.
Ngoba uJehova uzajabula ngawe,Lelizwe lakho lizafanana lalowo otshadileyo.
5 Amadodana akho azatshada lawe,Njengejaha elitshada lentombi egcweleyo.
UNkulunkulu wakho uzathokoza ngawe,Njengomyeni ethabela umakoti wakhe.+
6 Sengifake abalindi emidulini yakho wena Jerusalema.
Imini yonke lobusuku bonke akumelanga bathule.
LingaphumuliLina elikhuluma ngoJehova.
7 Lingamphumuzi aze ayimise iqine iJerusalema,Aze enze ukuthi idunyiswe emhlabeni wonke.”+
8 UJehova usefunge ngesandla sakhe sokudla, ngayo kanye ingalo yakhe elamandla wathi:
“Angisoze ngiphinde nginike izitha zakho amabele akho ukuthi ziwadle,Abezinye izizwe kabasoze balinathe iwayini lakho elitsha olisebenzele nzima.+
9 Kodwa abavuna amabele yibo abazawadla futhi bazadumisa uJehova,Lalabo ababutha amagilebisi yibo abazanatha iwayini emagumeni ami angcwele.”+
10 Phumani, phumani emagedini.
Vulelani abantu indlela.+
Yakhani, yakhani umgwaqo omkhulu.
Susani amatshe kuwo.+
Phakamiselani izizwe uphawu.*+
11 UJehova usememezele lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba wathi:
“Tshelani indodakazi yaseZiyoni lithi,‘Khangela! Ukusindiswa kwakho kuyeza.+
Umvuzo awunikayo usesandleni sakhe,Lomholo awuholisayo uphambi kwakhe.’”+
12 Abahlengwe nguJehova bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantu abangcwele,+Wena ubizwe ngokuthi ungoDingiweyo, iDolobho Elingatshiywanga.+
