Yena a ku: “Ndzi ya pima muti wa Yerusalema, ndzi ta tiva ku anama ni ku leha ka wona.”+

3 Ntsumi leyi a yi vulavula na mina yi suka eka mina, kutani ku ta ntsumi yin’wana yi ya yi hlanganisa. 4 Hiloko yi ku eka yona: “Tsutsuma u ya byela jaha leriya u ku, ‘“Muti wa Yerusalema wu ta va ni vaaki+ kambe wu nga ri na makhumbi yo wu biyelela hikwalaho ka vanhu hinkwavo ni swifuwo swa wona.+ 5 Kutani eka wona,” ku vula Yehovha, “ndzi ta va khumbi ra ndzilo leri wu rhendzeleke,+ ndzi ta va ku vangama ka mina exikarhi ka wona.”’”+

“Hikuva ndzi mi hangalasele ematlhelweni ya timheho ta mune ta tilo,”+ ku vula Yehovha.

Baleka, wena loyi a tshamaka ni nhwanyana wa Babilona.+ 8 Hikuva Yehovha wa mavuthu, loyi endzhaku ko vangamisiwa a ndzi rhumeke ematikweni lama phangeke nhundzu ya wena u ri:+ ‘Loyi a ku khumbaka u khumba ndzololo ya tihlo ra mina.+ 9 Hikuva ndzi ta ma xungeta, kutani mahlonga ya wona ma ta ma tekela swilo swa wona.’+ Kunene mi ta swi tiva leswaku Yehovha wa mavuthu u ndzi rhumile.

10 “Bana nkulungwana, wena nhwanyana wa Siyoni;+ hikuva ndza ta,+ ndzi ta tshama na wena,”+ ku vula Yehovha. 11 “Hi siku rero matiko yo tala ma ta namarhela Yehovha,+ ma ta va vanhu va mina; kutani ndzi ta tshama na n’wina.” Mi ta swi tiva leswaku Yehovha wa mavuthu hi yena loyi a ndzi rhumeke eka n’wina. 12 Yehovha u ta teka Yuda ri va nhundzu yakwe etikweni ro kwetsima, wa ha ta tlhela a hlawula Yerusalema.+ 13 Miyelani, n’wina vanhu hinkwenu emahlweni ka Yehovha, hikuva u teka goza a ri endhawini yakwe yo kwetsima.
