U-Isaya 2

¹ Izwi u-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, alibonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema.

² Ekupheleni kwezinsuku intaba yendlu kaJehova iyakuma iqine esiqongweni sezintaba, iphakame kunamagquma; izizwe zonke ziyakubuthanela khona.

³ Futhi abantu abaningi bayohamba bathi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni yeNkosi, endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe; futhi uyosifundisa izindlela zakhe, futhi sizohamba emikhondweni yakhe; ngoba eSiyoni kuyakuphuma umthetho nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

⁴ Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe, asole abantu abaningi, bakhanda izinkemba zabo zibe ngocelemba, nemikhonto yabo ibe ngocelemba; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba, zingabe zisafunda ukulwa.

⁵ O ndlu kaJakobe, wozani sihambe ekukhanyeni kukaJehova.

⁶ Ngakho ubalahlile abantu bakho, indlu kaJakobe, ngoba bagcwele empumalanga, bangamadlozi njengamaFilisti, bajabulela abantwana bezizweni.

⁷ Izwe labo ligcwele isiliva negolide, ingcebo yabo ayipheli; izwe labo ligcwele amahhashi, nezinqola zabo azipheli.

⁸ Izwe labo ligcwele izithombe; bakhonza umsebenzi wezandla zabo, owenziwe yiminwe yabo;

⁹ Futhi umuntu ophansi uyakhothama, nomuntu omkhulu uyazithoba; ngakho ungabathetheleli.

¹⁰ Ngena edwaleni ucashe othulini ngokumesaba uJehova nangenxa yobukhosi bakhe.

¹¹ Amehlo omuntu aphakemeyo ayakuthotshiswa, nokuzidla kwabantu kuyakuthotshiswa, kube nguJehova yedwa ophakeme ngalolo suku.

¹² Ngokuba usuku lukaJehova Sebawoti luyakuba phezu kwabo bonke abazidlayo nabakhukhumeleyo, naphezu kwabo bonke abaziphakamisayo; futhi uyothotshiswa.

¹³ Naphezu kwayo yonke imisedari yaseLebanoni ephakemeyo nephakemeyo, naphezu kwawo wonke ama-oki aseBashani;

¹⁴ naphezu kwazo zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo naphezu kwawo wonke amagquma aphakemeyo;

¹⁵ Naphezu kwayo yonke imibhoshongo ephakeme naphezu kwazo zonke izindonga ezibiyelwe,

¹⁶ naphezu kwayo yonke imikhumbi yaseTharishishi naphezu kwazo zonke izithombe ezithandekayo.

¹⁷ Ukuphakama komuntu kuyakuthotshiswa, nokuphakama kwabantu kuyakuthotshiswa; uJehova yedwa oyakuba phezulu ngalolo suku.

¹⁸ Futhi uyochitha izithombe ngokuphelele.

¹⁹ Bayongena emihumeni yamadwala nasemihumeni yomhlaba ngenxa yokwesaba uJehova nangenxa yodumo lobukhosi bakhe, lapho esukuma ukuze unyakazise umhlaba.

²⁰ Ngalolo suku umuntu uyophonsa ezimvukuzaneni nasemalulwaneni izithombe zakhe zesiliva nezithombe zakhe zegolide abazenzele zona ukuze azikhulekele;

²¹ ukuze kungene emifantwini yamadwala naseziqongweni zamadwala adilikileyo ngenxa yokwesaba uJehova nangenxa yenkazimulo yobukhosi bakhe, lapho esukuma ukuba anyakazise umhlaba.

²² Yekani kumuntu omoya wakhe usemakhaleni akhe, ngokuba uyakubalwa ngani na?
