U-Isaya 27:1-13
27 Ngalelolanga uJehova uzathatha inkemba yakhe enkulu,+ eqinileyo leyesabekayo,Ajezise uLeviyathani* inyoka ehubayo,ULeviyathani inyoka egoqanayo.
Uzasibulala isilo saselwandle.
2 Mhlabeleleni* ngalelolanga lithi:
“Insimu yewayini eliphuphumayo!+
3 Mina Jehova, yimi engimlindayo.+
Ngiyamthelela ngaso sonke isikhathi,+
Ngimlinda ubusuku lemini,Ukuze kungabi khona omlimazayo.+
4 Angisamzondelanga.+
Nxa umuntu angafaka izihlahla zameva lokhula phambi kwami empini,
Ngizakugxobagxoba konke ngikutshise ngomlilo futhi ngizakulwa laye.
5 Yena angakwenza yikubambelela enqabeni yami.
Kenze ukuthi mina laye sibe lokuthula,Enze kube lokuthula phakathi kwami laye.”
6 Ezinsukwini ezizayo uJakhobe uzakuba lempande,Abako-Israyeli bazahluma baqhakaze,+Bazagcwalisa ilizwe ngezithelo.+
7 Kumele atshaywe ngulowo omtshayayo yini?
Kumele abulawe ngendlela ababuleweyo bakhe ababulawa ngayo yini?
8 Uzathi usumxotsha ulwisane laye ngomsindo owethusayo.
Uzamsusa ngomoya wakho owesabekayo ngosuku lomoya wempumalanga.+
9 Ngakho icala likaJakhobe lizahlawulelwa kanje,+Futhi lesi yiso sonke isithelo esizakuba khona nxa isono sakhe sesisusiwe:
Wonke amatshe e-alithareUzawenza abe njengamatshoko acholiweyo,Akusoze kusale izithombe zika-Ashera* loba ama-alithare empepha.*+
10 Idolobho elivikelweyo lizasala lingaselamuntu;Amadlelo alo azatshiywa asale engelalutho njengenkangala.+
Ithole lizakudla khona futhi lilale khona,Lidle liqede ingatsha zezihlahla.+
11 Ingatsha zakhe zizathi sezomile,Abesifazana babuye baziqamuqamule,Babase ngazo umlilo.
Phela abantu laba kabazwisisi.+
Yikho uMenzi wabo engasoze abazwele isihawu,Lowo owababumbayo kasoze abe lomusa kubo.+
12 Ngalelolanga uJehova uzabhula izithelo kusukela emfuleni* ogelezayo kusiya esihotsheni* seGibhithe,+ njalo lina bantu bako-Israyeli lizabuthwa munye ngamunye wenu. +
13 Ngalelolanga kuzatshaywa uphondo olukhulu,+ futhi labo asebefana lofileyo elizweni le-Asiriya+ labasabaleleyo eGibhithe+ bazabuya bezokhothamela uJehova entabeni engcwele eJerusalema.+
