“Go away! Unclean!” men shouted at them. “Away, away! Do not touch us!” So they fled and wandered. Among the nations it was said, “They can stay here no longer.”
Context
13Lakini hili lilitokea kwa sababu ya dhambi za manabii wake,
na maovu ya makuhani wake,
waliomwaga ndani yake
damu ya wenye haki. 14Sasa wanapapasa papasa barabarani
kama watu ambao ni vipofu.
Wamenajisiwa kabisa kwa damu,
hata hakuna anayethubutu kugusa mavazi yao. 15Watu wanawapigia kelele, “Ondokeni! Ninyi ni najisi!
Ondokeni! Ondokeni! Msituguse!”
Wanapokimbia na kutangatanga huku na huko,
watu miongoni mwa mataifa wanasema,
“Hawawezi kukaa hapa zaidi.” 16Bwana mwenyewe amewatawanya;
hawaangalii tena.
Makuhani hawaonyeshwi heshima,
wazee hawakubaliki. 17Zaidi ya hayo, macho yetu yalichoka,
kwa kutazamia bure msaada;
tuliangalia kutoka minara yetu
kwa taifa lisiloweza kutuokoa.
