← Isaiah (66/66) |
1. | I Nkosi ithi: Amazulu ayisihlalo sami sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisigcabha senyawo zami; ngenjani leyondlu ebelizangakhela yona, ngenjani lendawo yami yokuphumula? |
2. | Ngoba zonke lezizinto isandla sami sazenza, lazo zonke lezizinto zikhona, kutsho i Nkosi. Kodwa kulo ngizakhangela, kulowo othobekileyo, olomoya odabukileyo, lothuthumelayo elizwini lami. |
3. | Ohlaba inkabi unjengotshaya umuntu; onikela umhlatshelo ngewundlu unjengowephula intamo yenja; onikela umnikelo wokudla unjengonikela umnikelo ngegazi lengulube; otshisa impepha kube ngumnikelo wesikhumbuzo unjengobusisa isithombe. Konke lokhu kuyizenzo abantu abazikhethela zona, labo abazithokozisa ngezinengiso zabo. |
4. | Ngakho-ke ngizabakhethela inhlupheko, ngibehlisele lokho abakwesabayo; ngoba ekubizeni kwami kakho owasabelayo, lekukhulumeni kwami kabalalelanga; kodwa benza okubi emehlweni ami, bakhetha lokho engingakuthandiyo. |
5. | Zwanini ilizwi le Nkosi, lina elithuthumela ngelizwi layo elokuthi: Abafowenu abalizondayo, abalixotsha ngenxa yebizo lami, bathi: Kayibe lodumo i Nkosi, ukuze sibone intokozo yenu; kodwa-ke yibo abazayangeka. |
6. | Zwanini umsindo phakathi komuzi; umsindo ophuma ethempelini ngumsindo wokuphindisela kwe Nkosi ezitheni zayo. |
7. | IZiyoni ingahelelwanga yabeletha, ingakehlelwa yibuhlungu yabeletha indodana. |
8. | Ngubani owake wezwa okunje? Ngubani owake wabona okunje? Kambe ilizwe lingazalwa ngosuku olulodwa? Lesizwe singabelethwa ngesikhatshana yini? Ngoba iZiyoni ithe isahelelwa, yazala abantwana bayo. |
9. | Ngizavula isizalo kodwa ngingenzi, ukuthi kuzalwe yini? kutsho i Nkosi. Kuzakuthi mina engenza ukuthi kuzalwe, ngibuye ngivale isizalo yini? utsho uNkulunkulu wakho. |
10. | Thokozani kanye leJerusalema, liyithabele, lina lonke eliyithandayo; jabulani kanye layo khathesi, lina lonke eliyililelayo; |
11. | ukuze limunye, lisuthe emabeleni ayo anika induduzo, lokuze lithokoze ngochago lwayo olunengi. |
12. | Ngoba i Nkosi ithi: Khangelani, ngizalinika ukuthula okuzagelezela kini njengomfula, lenotho yezizwe enjengesifula esigcweleyo; lani lizamunya, liphathwe emathangazini alo, lidlaliswe emadolweni. |
13. | Njengonina eduduza umntwana wakhe, lami ngizaliduduza lina, liduduzeke eJerusalema. |
14. | Lizabona lokhu, lenhliziyo yenu ithokoze; lemizimba yenu ikhule iqine; kuzakwaziwa ukuthi isandla se Nkosi sesisencekwini zayo, izithukuthelele izitha zayo. |
15. | Ngoba khangela, i Nkosi izafika ngomlilo, izinqola zayo zibe njengesivunguzane, ukwehlisela intukuthelo yayo ngokufutheka, lokukhuza kwayo ngamalangabi omlilo. |
16. | Ngoba i Nkosi izakwehlulela ngomlilo langenkemba yayo yonke inyama, banengi ezababulala. |
17. | Labo abazehlukanisela ukungena ensimini yokukhonzela, bezihlambulula, belandelana, besidla inyama yezingulube, lesinengiso, lamagundwane, imisebenzi yabo lemicabango yabo izaphela, kutsho i Nkosi. |
18. | Ngiyeza ukubutha zonke izizwe lemihlobo yonke, kuzafika, kubone ubukhulu bami. |
19. | Ngizabeka isibonakaliso phakathi kwazo, ngithume abaseleyo ezizweni, eTarshishi, lePhuli, leLudi, badonsa idandili, leTubali, leJavani, kuzihlenge ezikhatshana ezingakezwa udumo lwami, ezingakaboni ubukhulu bami; bazalandisa ngodumo lwami phakathi kwezizwe. |
20. | Bazabuyisa bonke abafowenu bebakhupha kuzo zonke izizwe, babe yisipho e Nkosi ni; bazababuyisa ngamabhiza langezinqola, langamathala, langezimbongolo, langamakamela, entabeni yami engcwele iJerusalema, kutsho i Nkosi, njengabantwana bakoIsrayeli beletha iminikelo yabo yempuphu ngezitsha zabo ezihlambulukileyo endlini ye Nkosi. |
21. | Abanye babo ngizabenza babe ngabapristi lamaLevi, itsho i Nkosi. |
22. | Njengalokhu amazulu amatsha lomhlaba omutsha engizakwenza kuzakuma kokuphela phambi kwami, kutsho i Nkosi, ngokunjalo-ke inzalo yakho lebizo lakho kuzakuma kokuphela. |
23. | Inyanga ngenyanga ekuthwaseni kwenyanga, ngeviki ngeviki ngesabatha, yonke inyama izakuza, idumise phambi kwami, itsho i Nkosi. |
24. | Bazaphuma, babone izidumbu zabantu abangivukelayo; impethu edla izidumbu kayiyikufa, lomlilo ozitshisayo kawuyikucitsha; bazakuba yisinengiso kuyo yonke inyama. |
