IHubo 137:1-9
137 Sahlala phansi eceleni kwemifula yeBhabhiloni,+Sakhala sikhumbula iZiyoni.+
2 Salengisa amahabhu* ethu+Ezihlahleni zomphophula eBhabhiloni,
3 Ngoba abasithumbayo basicela ukuthi sibahlabelele ingoma,+Labo ababesihleka babefuna sibathokozise besithi:
“Sihlabeleleni enye yezingoma zaseZiyoni.”
4 Singayihlabela njani ingoma kaJehovaElizweni elingayisilo lethu?
5 Nxa ngingakukhohlwa wena Jerusalema,Isandla sami sokudla asikhohlwe umsebenzi waso.+
6 Ulimi lwami alunamathele elwangeni lwamiNxa ngingayekela ukukukhumbula Jerusalema,Nxa ngingayekela ukukwenzaUbe yisizatho sami esikhulu sokuthokoza.+
7 Khumbula awu Jehova,Ukuthi abako-Edomi babesithini ngelanga iJerusalema inqotshwa.
Babesithi, “Idilizeni! Lidilize konke lezisekelo zayo!”+
8 Ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni sekuseduze ukuthi utshabalale.+
Uyathokoza lowo ozaphindisela kuwe,Akuphathe ngendlela osiphathe ngayo.+
9 Uyathokoza lowo ozabamba abantwabakhoAbataklazele emadwaleni.+
