U-Isaya 42 Inceku ezoletha ukwahlulelwa kwabezizwe

¹ Bheka, inceku yami engiyisekelayo; abakhethiweyo bami othokoza ngabo umphefumulo wami; ngibekile uMoya wami phezu kwakhe: uyakuletha ukwahlulela kwabezizwe.

² Akayikukhala noma aphakamise, nezwi lakhe alizwakali ezitaladini.

³ Umhlanga owaphukileyo ngeke awuphule nefilakisi elithunqayo ngeke alicime;

⁴ Akayikuphelelwa amandla, noma aphele amandla, aze akhiphe isahlulelo emhlabeni; neziqhingi ziyolindela umthetho wakhe.

⁵ Usho kanje uNkulunkulu uJehova, owadala, oweneka izulu; owendlala umhlaba nokuphuma kuwo; onika abantu abakulo ukuphefumula, nabahamba kulo umoya;

⁶ Mina, Jehova, ngikubizile ngokulunga, ngiyakubamba isandla sakho, ngikugcine, ngikubeke ube yisivumelwano sezizwe, ube ngukukhanya kwabezizwe;

⁷ ukuze uvule amehlo ezimpumputhe, ukhiphe iziboshwa etilongweni nabahlezi ebumnyameni etilongweni.

⁸ NginguJehova, yilo igama lami; angiyikunika omunye udumo lwami, nezithombe ezibaziweyo udumo lwami.

⁹ Bhekani, izinto zakuqala sezifikile, ngimemezela izinto ezintsha; ngaphambi kokuba kuhlume, ngiyakutshela ngakho.

¹⁰ Hlabelelani kuJehova ihubo elisha nodumo lwakhe kusukela emikhawulweni yomhlaba, nina enehlela elwandle nakho konke okukulo; iziqhingi nabakhileyo kuzo.

¹¹ Ihlane nemizi yalo makuliphakamise izwi lako, imizi lapho iKedari ihlezi; abakhileyo edwaleni mabahube, bajabule esiqongweni sezintaba.

¹² Mabamdumise uJehova, bamemezele udumo lwakhe eziqhingini.

¹³ UJehova uyakuphuma njengeqhawe, avuse ukushisekela njengeqhawe; Uyakubiza, yebo, abhonge; uyakunqoba izitha zakhe.

¹⁴ Ngathula isikhathi eside; Ngathula ngazibamba; manje ngizokhala njengowesifazane onentshebe; ngiyakubhubhisa masinyane, ngishwabadele.

¹⁵ Ngiyakuchitha izintaba namagquma, ngomise zonke izitshalo zakho; ngiyakwenza imifula ibe yiziqhingi, ngomise namachibi.

¹⁶ Ngizahambisa izimpumputhe ngendlela ezingayaziyo; ngizabahola ngezindlela abangazaziyo; ngiyokwenza kube lula ubumnyama phambi kwabo, ngiqondise izinto eziyisigwegwe. Lezi zinto ngiyakuzenza kubo, ngingabashiyi.

¹⁷ Bazabuyiselwa emuva, bajabhe kakhulu abathembela ezithombeni ezibaziweyo, abathi ezithombeni ezibunjiweyo: Lingonkulunkulu bethu.

¹⁸ Lalelani nina abayizithulu! bhekani, zimpumputhe, ukuze nibone.

¹⁹ Ngubani oyimpumputhe ngaphandle kwenceku yami na? noma isithulu, njengesithunywa sami engisithumayo? Ngubani oyimpumputhe njengopheleleyo, oyimpumputhe njengenceku kaJehova na?

²⁰ nibona izinto eziningi, kepha aninaki; avule izindlebe zakhe, kodwa akezwa.

²¹ UJehova uyathokoza ngokulunga kwakhe; uyakuwukhulisa umthetho, awenze uhlonipheke.

²² Kepha lesi yisizwe esiphangiwe nesiphangiwe; bonke babhajwe emigodini, bafihlwe ematilongweni; bayimpango, akakho osindisayo; ngempango, akakho othi: ‘Ungabuyi.’

²³ Ngubani kini oyakulalela lokhu na? ngubani oyakulalela, ezwe esikhathini esizayo na?

²⁴ Ngubani owanikela uJakobe kube yimpango, no-Israyeli kubaphangi? Akusiye uJehova esone kuye na? ngoba abazange bahambe ezindleleni zakhe futhi abawulalelanga umthetho wakhe.

²⁵ Ngakho wathululela phezu kwakhe ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe namandla empi, kwamthungela inhlangothi zonke, kodwa yena engakwazi; wamshisa, kepha akakubekanga enhliziyweni.
