Ndebele - Lamentations - 5

5:1  Khumbula, Nkosi, ukuthi kwenzakaleni kithi; khangela, ubone ihlazo lethu.

5:2  Ilifa lethu seliphendulelwe kwabezizwe, izindlu zethu kwabemzini.

5:3  Siyizintandane, kungelababa; omama banjengabafelokazi.

5:4  Amanzi ethu siwanathile ngemali; inkuni zethu ziza ngentengo.

5:5  Sizingelwa ezintanyeni zethu, sidiniwe, kasilakuphumula.

5:6  Sinike isandla sethu kwabeGibhithe, labeAsiriya, ukuze sisuthiswe ngesinkwa.

5:7  Obaba bona, kabasekho, njalo thina sithwele iziphambeko zabo.

5:8  Izigqili ziyasibusa, kakho ongasihluthuna esandleni sazo.

5:9  Sizuza isinkwa sethu ngengozi yempilo yethu, ngenxa yenkemba yenkangala.

5:10  Ijwabu lethu limnyama njengeziko ngenxa yokutshisa okukhulu kwendlala.

5:11  Badlova abesifazana eZiyoni, izintombi ezimsulwa emizini yakoJuda.

5:12  Iziphathamandla zaphanyekwa ngesandla sazo; ubuso babadala kabuhlonitshwanga.

5:13  Amajaha athwala amatshe okuchola, labafana bakhubeka ngaphansi kwenkuni.

5:14  Abadala baphelile esangweni, amajaha ekuhlabeleleni.

5:15  Intokozo yenhliziyo yethu iphelile, ukugida kwethu kwaphenduka ukulila.

5:16  Umqhele wekhanda lethu uwile; hawu, maye kithi, ngoba sonile!

5:17  Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo yethu iphela amandla; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu afiphele.

5:18  Ngenxa yentaba yeZiyoni elunxiwa, amakhanka ahamba phezu kwayo.

5:19  Wena, Nkosi, uhlezi kuze kube nininini, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sisuka esizukulwaneni sisiya esizukulwaneni.

5:20  Usikhohlweleni njalonjalo, usidela okobude bezinsuku?

5:21  Siphendulele kuwe, Nkosi, sizaphenduka; yenza insuku zethu zibe zintsha njengasendulo.

5:22  Kodwa ususilahlile isibili; usithukuthelele kakhulukazi.
