Isaya 47:1-15
47 Yehla uhlale elutfulini,Wena ntfombi ntfo yaseBhabhulona.+
Hlala phansi lapho kute khona sihlalo sebukhosi,+Wena ndvodzakati yemaKhaledi,Ngobe bantfu ngeke baphindze batsi uyincelencele futsi ngeke baphindze batsi bewutototiswa.
2 Tsatsa litje lekusila, usile fulaha.
Khumula iveyili yakho.
Khumula ingubo yakho, uvete imilente.
Yewela imifula.
3 Bungcunu bakho angeke bufihleke.
Lihlazo lakho liyawuba sebaleni.
Ngiyawuphindzisela+ futsi kute umuntfu loyongivimba.*
4 “Loyo lositsenga kabusha,Libito lakhe nguJehova wemabutfo,UnguLongcwele waka-Israyeli.”+
5 Hlala lapho ubindze bese uyahamba uya ebumnyameni,Wena ndvodzakati yemaKhaledi;+Ngeke baphindze bakubite ngekutsi uyiNdlovukazi yeMibuso.+
6 Ngabatfukutselela bantfu bami.+
Ngalilahla lifa lami,+Ngabanikela esandleni sakho.+
Kodvwa awuzange ube nemusa kubo.+
Ngisho nalabagugile wabetfwesa lijoka lelesindzako.+
7 Watsi: “Ngiyawuhlala ngiyiNdlovukazi kuze kube phakadze.”+
Awuzange utinake letintfo;Awuzange ucabange kutsi siyawuba yini siphetfo saloko.
8 Nyalo lalela la, wena lotsandza injabulo,+Wena lohlala endzaweni lephephile, lotsi enhlitiyweni yakho:
“Ngimi kuphela, kute lomunye.+
Angeke ngibe ngumfelokati.
Angiyuze ngifelwe bantfwana.”+
9 Kodvwa letintfo letimbili tiyokufikela ngekutumeka lokukhulu, tikufikele ngelilanga linye:+
Uyawufelwa bantfwana uphindze ube ngumfelokati.
Letintfo tiyokufikela ngemandla lamkhulu,+Ngenca yekutsakatsa kwakho kakhulu nangenca yayo yonkhe imilingo yakho lenemandla.+
10 Wetsembele ebubini bakho.
Utsite: “Kute longibonako.”
Kuhlakanipha kwakho nelwati lwakho, ngiko lokukuphambukisile,Futsi utsi enhlitiyweni yakho: “Ngimi kuphela, kute lomunye.”
11 Kodvwa uyawufikelwa yinhlekelele,Futsi tintfo takho lotigabako lotetsembile, angeke tiyivimbe.
Uyawufikelwa bumatima; angeke ukhone kubuvimba.
Uyawufikelwa yimbhubhiso ngekutumeka lokukhulu.+
12 Chubeka-ke nalokusebentisa kwakho imilingo nekutsakatsa kakhulu,+Lobewusolo ukwenta ngekutimisela kusukela ebusheni bakho.
Mhlawumbe ungalutfola lusito;Mhlawumbe ungamangalisa bantfu.
13 Beluleki bakho labanyenti sebakukhatsalisile.
Abasukume nyalo bakusindzise,Labo labakhonta emazulu,* lababukisisa tinkhanyeti,+Labo labakutjela njalo nakwetfwasa inyangaMayelana netintfo letitakwehlela.
14 Bafanana netinhlanga.
Bayawushiswa ngumlilo.
Angeke bakhone kutisindzisa* kulelilangabi.
Lawa akusiwo emalahle ekotsa,Futsi lona akusiwo nje umlilo longawotsa.
15 Bayawukwenta njalo-ke kuwe,Labo losebente nabo kamatima kusukela ebusheni bakho.
Bayawunhlanhlatsa, nguloyo naloyo abheke lapho atsandza khona.*
Kute loyokusindzisa.+
