Sililo 1:1-22
א [Aleph]*
1 Awu! IJerusalema beyigcwele bantfu,+ nyalo seyisele ikhala libhungane!
Asenilibuke nje lelidolobha lebelinebantfu labanyenti kunaletinye tive,+ nyalo selifana nemfelokati!
Lelidolobha lelike laba yindlovukazi emkhatsini wetifundza, seligucuke laba sigcili!+
ב [Beth]
2 Ebusuku iJerusalema ikhala ingathuli,+ nasetihlatsini tayo kugeleta tinyembeti.
Kute ngisho namunye kulabo labayitsandzako loyidvudvutako.+
Bonkhe bangani bayo sebayilahlile;+ sebagucuke baba titsa tayo.
ג [Gimel]
3 Juda utfunjiwe,+ uyahlushwa futsi ugcilateka kabuhlungu.+
Uhlala emkhatsini wetive;+ kodvwa akakutfoli kuphumula.
Bonkhe lebebamgijimisa* sebamkhandzile, bamkhandze acindzetelekile.
ד [Daleth]
4 Imigwaco leya eSiyoni iyalila, ngobe sekute bantfu labaya emikhosini.+
Onkhe emagede aseJerusalema ephukile;+ nebaphristi bakhona bayalila.
Tintfombi takhona tiyalila, futsi lelidolobha lisebuhlungwini lobukhulu.
ה [He]
5 Titsa tayo setigucuke taba baphatsi* bayo; kute nalokutikhatsatako.+
Jehova uletsele lelidolobha lusizi ngenca yetono talo letinyenti.+
Sitsa sitfumbe nebantfwana bakhona.+
ו [Waw]
6 Sebuphele bonkhe lobukhatikhati baseSiyoni.*+
Tindvuna tayo setifana netinyamatane letingawatfoli emadlelo,Futsi tiyatihudvula natihamba embikwaloyo lotitingelako.
ז [Zayin]
7 Ngemalanga ekuhlushwa kwayo nangemalanga ekundzindza kwayo, iJerusalema ikhumbulaTonkhe letintfo letiligugu lebeyinato kadzeni.+
Ngesikhatsi bantfu bayo bancotjwa sitsa futsi kuba bete loyisitako,+Titsa tayo tayibona, futsi tayihleka* ngenca yekuwa kwayo.+
ח [Heth]
8 IJerusalema yone kakhulu.+
Ngiko nje seyenyanyeka.
Nyalo bonkhe bantfu lebebayihlonipha sebayayedzelela ngobe sebabubonile bungcunu bayo.+
Ikhala kabuhlungu+ futsi iyafulatsela ngobe ihlazekile.
ט [Teth]
9 Timphahla tayo tingcolile;
Futsi ayizange icabangisise ngelikusasa layo.+
Kumangalise kakhulu kuwa kwalelidolobha; sekute nalongalidvudvuta.
Awu Jehova, buka indlela lengihlushwa ngayo, ngobe sitsa siyatigabatisa.+
י [Yod]
10 Sitsa sitsetse wonkhe umcebo waseJerusalema.+
Lelidolobha libone tive tingena endzaweni yalo lengcwele,+Ngisho nobe wena bewungakativumeli kutsi titihlanganise nebantfu bakho.
כ [Kaph]
11 Bonkhe bantfu bakhona bayalila; bafunana nekudla.+
Batsetse tintfo tabo letiligugu bashintjisa ngato kuze batfole kudla, batomane baphile.
Awu Jehova, ase ubuke nje, sengifana nemfati longasiti ngalutfo.*
ל [Lamed]
12 Anitsintseki yini nonkhe nine lenengca ngendlela?
Asenibuke nje!
Bukhona yini buhlungu lobufanana nanabu lengiviswe bona,Lobo Jehova langivise bona ngelilanga lentfukutselo yakhe levutsako?+
מ [Mem]
13 Yena utfumele umlilo losuka ezulwini kutsi ushise onkhe ematsambo ami.+
Wendlale linethi kuze abambe tinyawo tami; wangiphocelela kutsi ngijike.
Ungente ngaba ngumfati lolahliwe.
Ngigula onkhe malanga.
נ [Nun]
14 Tono tami tiboshelwe entsanyeni yami kuhle kwelijoka; yena utibophe ngesandla sakhe.
Setibekwe entsanyeni yami, futsi sengiphelelwe ngemandla.
Jehova sewunginikele kulabo lengingeke ngikhone kulwa nabo.+
ס [Samekh]
15 Jehova uwalahlele khashane nami onkhe emadvodza lanemandla lebenginawo.+
Ubite sicumbi sebantfu kutsi simelane nami, sihlasele emajaha lebenginawo.+
Jehova ugcobagcobe iJerusalema* etjeni lekuhlutela liwayini.+
ע [Ayin]
16 Letintfo tiyangikhalisa;+ kuhushuka tinyembeti emehlweni ami.
Kute lodvutane nami longangidvudvuta nome angicinise.
Emadvodzana ami aphelelwe litsemba ngobe sincotjwe sitsa.
פ [Pe]
17 ISiyoni iphakamise tandla tayo;+ kute longayidvudvuta.
Jehova uyale bonkhe labatungelete Jakobe kutsi babe titsa takhe.+
IJerusalema seyiyenyanyeka kubo.+
צ [Tsade]
18 Jehova wente kahle+ ngekungijezisa, ngobe angikayilaleli imitsetfo* yakhe.+
Lalelani nonkhe nine bantfu, nibuke nelusizi lengikulo.
Setitfunjiwe tintfombi takami kanye nemajaha akami.+
ק [Qoph]
19 Ngibite labo lebebangitsandza, kodvwa bangijikele.+
Baphristi bami nemadvodza lamadzala bafele edolobheni
Ngesikhatsi bafuna kudla, bentela kutsi baphile.+
ר [Resh]
20 Awu Jehova, mane ubonekutsi ngicindzeteleke kangakanani,Ngiva buhlungu lobukhulu ngekhatsi.*
Inhlitiyo yami yephukile ngobe angikakulaleli sanhlobo.+
Ngephandle, inkemba ibulele bantfwabami;+ nangekhatsi endlini bantfu bayafa.
ש [Shin]
21 Bantfu bangivile nangilila; kodvwa kute longidvudvutako.
Tonkhe titsa tami tivile ngenhlekelele lengehlele.
Tijabulile ngobe lenhlekelele ngiyehliselwe nguwe.+
Kodvwa utawulenta lifike lilanga lowakhuluma ngalo,+ lilanga lekutsi nato tifane nami.+
ת [Taw]
22 Shengatsi ungakubona konkhe lokubi letikwentile, futsi shengatsi ungatijezisa+
Njengobe nami ungijezisile ngenca yato tonkhe tono tami.
Sengilile kakhulu, nenhlitiyo yami yephukile.
