U-Isaya 44

¹ Kodwa lalela manje, nceku yami Jakobe! no-Israyeli engimkhethileyo.

² Usho kanje uJehova owakudalayo, wakubumba kwasesiswini, yena oyakusiza; Ungesabi, Jakobe, nceku yami; nawe Jeshuruni, engikukhethileyo.

³ Ngokuba ngiyakuthela amanzi phezu kowomileyo, nemifudlana emhlabathini owomileyo; ngiyakuthulula uMoya wami enzalweni yakho nesibusiso sami phezu kwenzalo yakho.

⁴ Bayakuhluma phakathi kotshani, njengeminyezane ngasemifuleni yamanzi.

⁵ Omunye uyakuthi: “NgingokaJehova; omunye uzambiza ngebizo likaJakobe; futhi omunye kumelwe asayine uJehova ngesandla sakhe futhi ambize ngegama lika-Israyeli.

⁶ Usho kanje uJehova, iNkosi ka-Israyeli, noMhlengi wakhe, uJehova Sebawoti; Mina ngingowokuqala, futhi ngingowokugcina; futhi akakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.

⁷ Ngubani onjengami oyakumemeza, akumemezele, angiqinisele khona, selokhu ngamisa abantu abadala na? futhi izinto ezizayo nezizofika, makwazeke kubo.

⁸ Ningesabi futhi nesabe; ningofakazi bami. Ukhona yini uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami? yebo, akekho uNkulunkulu; Angazi lutho.

⁹ Abenza izithombe ezibaziweyo bayize; nezinto zabo ezimnandi ngeke zisize; futhi bangofakazi babo; ababoni futhi abazi; ukuze babe lenhloni.

¹⁰ Ngubani owenze unkulunkulu noma obumbile isithombe esibaziweyo esingasizi lutho na?

¹¹ Bheka, bonke abangane bakhe bajabhile, nezisebenzi zingabantu; mabahlangane bonke, basukume; nokho bayakwesaba, bajabhe kanyekanye.

¹² Umkhandi wensimbi wenza amalahle ngodlawu, awasebenze ngezando, awasebenze ngamandla ezingalo zakhe; yebo, ulambile, namandla akhe anda; akaphuzi manzi udiniwe.

¹³ Umbazi uyelula ukubusa kwakhe; uyimaketha ngomugqa; uyawulungisa ngezinga, awuthengise ngekhampasi, awenze ube nomfanekiso womuntu, njengobuhle bomuntu; ukuthi ingahlala endlini.

¹⁴ Uyazigawulela imisedari, athathe umsayipuresi aziqinisela khona phakathi kwemithi yehlathi; utshala umlotha, imvula iyawunothisa.

¹⁵ Khona-ke kuyakuba ngokomuntu ukuba ashise, ngokuba athathe kuwo, othe; yebo, uyabasa, abhake isinkwa; yebo, wenza unkulunkulu, akhuleke kuye; wenza umfanekiso obaziweyo ngawo, awele phezu kwawo.

¹⁶ Ingxenye yawo uyishisa ngomlilo; ngenxenye yawo udla inyama; uyosa asuthe; yebo, uyotha, athi: “Ashila, ngiyafudumala, ngabona umlilo.

¹⁷ Okuseleyo kuwo uwenza unkulunkulu, umfanekiso wakhe obaziweyo; aguqe phezu kwayo ayikhonze akhuleke kuyo athi: Ngikhulule! ngoba wena ungunkulunkulu wami.

¹⁸ Kabazanga futhi kabaqedisisa, ngoba wayevale amehlo abo ukuze bangaboni; nezinhliziyo zabo, ukuze bangakwazi ukuqonda.

¹⁹ Akakho ophakamisa enhliziyweni yakhe, kungekho kwazi nokuqonda ukuba athi: Ingxenye yawo ngiyishisile ngomlilo; yebo, ngabhaka isinkwa phezu kwamalahle alo; ngosiwe inyama, ngayidla, nensali yakhona ngiyenze isinengiso na? ngizowela esiqwini sesihlahla?

²⁰ Ukhuphula umlotha; inhliziyo ekhohlisayo imjikisile, ukuze angakwazi ukusindisa umphefumulo wakhe futhi angasho ukuthi: Akukho manga esandleni sami sokunene na?

²¹ Cabanga ngakho, Jakobe nawe Israyeli! ngoba uyinceku yami; ngakubumba; uyinceku yami; O Israyeli, ngeke ukukhohlwa yimi.

²² Ngesula iziphambeko zakho njengefu, nezono zakho njengefu; buyela Kimi; ngoba ngikuhlengile.

²³ Hlabelelani nina mazulu! ngokuba uJehova ukwenzile; thokozani nina zingxenye eziphansi zomhlaba. Jabulani nina zintaba, hlathi, nemithi yonke ekulo, ngokuba uJehova umhlengile uJakobe, wamkhazimulisa kwa-Israyeli.

²⁴ Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi wakho, owakubumba kwasesiswini sikanina: NginguJehova owenza konke; owelula isibhakabhaka yedwa; okuyiyona yodwa eyandisa umhlaba;

²⁵ echitha izibonakaliso zabaqamba amanga, ehlanyisa abahlola imihlola; ababuyisela emuva abahlakaniphileyo, benze ulwazi lwabo lube buthutha;

²⁶ oqinisa izwi lenceku yakhe nofeza icebo lezithunywa zakhe; othi kulo iJerusalema: Liyakuhlalwa; nasemizini yakwaJuda: Niyakwakhiwa, ngivuse izindawo zayo ezidilikileyo.

²⁷ Othi kulo utwa: Yitshani, ngikomise imifula yakho.

²⁸ Othi ngoKoresi: Ungumalusi wami; nasethempelini: Isisekelo sakho siyakubekwa.
