U-Isaya 47 I-Babel iza entsha

¹ Yehla, uhlale othulini, ntombi, ndodakazi yaseBabele, hlala phansi; asikho isihlalo sobukhosi, ndodakazi yamaKaledi, ngokuba awusayikubizwa ngokuthi uthambile futhi uthambile.

² Thatha amatshe okugaya ugaye ufulawa; vula izingidi zakho, uveze umlenze, uveze isinqe, uwele imifula.

³ Ubunqunu bakho buyakwambulwa, yebo, nehlazo lakho liyobonakala;

⁴ UMhlengi wethu, igama lakhe nguJehova Sebawoti, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

⁵ Hlala uthule, ungene ebumnyameni, ndodakazi yamaKaledi, ngokuba awusayikubizwa ngokuthi umkamibuso.

⁶ Ngabathukuthelela abantu bami, ngalingcolisa ifa lami, ngabanikela esandleni sakho; endala wabeka ijoka lakho elinzima kakhulu.

⁷ Futhi wathi: Ngizakuba ngowesifazana kuze kube nininini, ukuze kawubekanga lezizinto enhliziyweni, futhi kawuzange ucabange ngesiphetho sazo.

⁸ Ngakho-ke zwanini lokhu nina enithanda ubumnandi, enihlala ninganaki, enithi enhliziyweni yenu: Yimi yimi, akakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; Ngeke ngihlale njengomfelokazi, futhi ngeke ngikwazi ukulahlekelwa abantwana;

⁹ Kepha lezi zinto ezimbili ziyakukwehlela ngokuphazima kweso, ngalusuku lunye, ukufelwa abantwana nobufelokazi;

¹⁰ Ngokuba wethemba ububi bakho; wathi: Akekho oNgibonayo. Ukuhlakanipha kwakho nokwazi kwakho kukombile; wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Nginguye, akakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.

¹¹ Ngakho-ke ububi buyakwehlela; ngeke wazi lapho kuvela khona, futhi ububi buyokwehlela; ngeke ukwazi ukukulibazisa, futhi kungazelelwe kuyofika incithakalo ongayikuyazi.

¹² Manje sukuma kanye nemilingo yakho nobuningi bobuthakathi bakho oye wakhathala ngabo kwasebusheni bakho; uma kunjalo, uzokwazi ukuzuza, uma kunjalo, unganqoba.

¹³ Ukhathele ngobuningi bamacebo akho. Manje mabasukume ababhula ngezinkanyezi, nababhuli benyanga, bakusindise kulezi zinto eziyakukwehlela.

¹⁴ Bheka, bayakuba njengamabibi; umlilo uyakubashisa; ngeke bazisindise emandleni elangabi;

¹⁵ Bayakuba njalo kuwe osebenza nabo, abehwebi bakho kwasebusheni bakho; akekho oyokusindisa.
