U-Isaya 49 Inceku yeNkosi

¹ Ngilaleleni nina ziqhingi; lalelani nina zizwe ezikude. UJehova wangibiza kwasesiswini; ezibilinini zikamama wabiza igama lami.

² Wawenza umlomo wami waba njengenkemba ebukhali; ethunzini lesandla sakhe wangithukusa, wangenza isiqu esiphucuziweyo; wangithukusa emgodleni wakhe;

³ wathi kimi: Uyinceku yami, Israyeli, engizodunyiswa ngayo.

⁴ Ngase ngithi: “Ngishiyile, ngichithe amandla ami, ngazikhandla ngeze; nokho ilungelo lami likuJehova, nomsebenzi wami ukuNkulunkulu wami.

⁵ Manje, usho uJehova, owangibumba kwasesiswini ukuba ngibe yinceku yakhe, ukuze ngibuyisele uJakobe kuye: Noma u-Israyeli engaqoqwa, nokho ngiyoba yinkazimulo emehlweni kaJehova, futhi uNkulunkulu wami uyakuba amandla ami.

⁶ Wathi: “Kuyinto elula ukuba ube yinceku yami ukuvusa izizwe zakwaJakobe nokubuyisela abalindi bakwa-Israyeli; ngizakukunika ube ngukukhanya kwabezizwe, ukuze ube yinsindiso yami. Ekupheleni komhlaba.

⁷ Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi ka-Israyeli, noNgcwele wakhe, kuye odelela umuntu, kuye isizwe esimenyanyayo, encekwini yezikhulu: Amakhosi ayakubona lokhu, asukume, nezikhulu zikhuleke ngenxa yalokho. KaJehova othembekileyo noNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uyakunikhetha.

⁸ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngesikhathi sokuthokoza ngakuzwa, nangosuku lwensindiso ngakusiza; amafa alahliwe;

⁹ ukuze uthi kuzo izibotshwa: Phumani; kwabasebumnyameni zibonakaliseni. Bayoklaba emigwaqweni emikhulu, namadlelo abo ayoba phezu kwazo zonke izindawo eziphakemeyo.

¹⁰ Abayikulamba, noma bome; futhi ukushisa nelanga ngeke kubashaye; ngokuba lowo onomusa kubo uyakubahola, abahole ngasemithonjeni yamanzi.

¹¹ Ngiyakwenza zonke izintaba zami zibe umgwaqo, nezindlela zami ezinkulu ziphakame.

¹² Bheka, bayakuza bevela kude, bheka, bavela enyakatho nasentshonalanga; nokuthi kuvela ezweni laseSinimi.

¹³ Hlabelelani nina mazulu! futhi jabula, O mhlaba! niqhume ngokujabula, zintaba; ngokuba uJehova wabaduduza abantu bakhe, waba nomusa kwabampofu bakhe.

¹⁴ Kodwa iZiyoni yathi: INkosi ingitshiyile, leNkosi yami ingikhohliwe.

¹⁵ Owesifazane angamkhohlwa yini umntanakhe osancela, angayihawukeli indodana yesizalo sakhe? yebo, bangakhohlwa, kepha mina angiyikukukhohlwa wena.

¹⁶ Bheka, ngikubhalile ezintendeni zezandla zami; izingange zakho ziphambi kwami njalo.

¹⁷ Abantwana bakho bayakushesha; abachithi bakho nabakuchithayo bayakuphuma kuwe.

¹⁸ Phakamisa amehlo akho nxazonke, ubone: bonke bayabuthana, beza kuwe. Kuphila kwami,” usho uJehova, “ufanele ugqokise bonke njengemvunulo, uzibophe kuwe njengomlobokazi.

¹⁹ Ngoba incithakalo yakho nezindawo zakho eziyincithakalo nezwe lakho eliyincithakalo liyoba ncane kakhulu ngisho namanje ngenxa yabakhileyo, nalabo abakushwabadelayo bayoba kude.

²⁰ Abantwana oyakuba nabo, emva kokuba ulahlekelwe ngomunye, bayophinde bathi phambi kwezindlebe zakho: Indawo incane kakhulu kimi; nginike indawo yokuhlala.

²¹ Uzakuthi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngubani ongizalele lokhu, mina ngilahlekelwe ngabantwana bami, ngilahliwe, ngiyisibotshwa njalo ngizulazula? futhi ubani oveze lokhu? Bheka, ngisele ngedwa; laba, bebekuphi na?

²² Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngiyakuphakamisela isandla sami kwabezizwe, ngiphakamisele abantu ibhanela lami, balethe amadodana enu ezingalweni zabo, namadodakazi enu athwalwe emahlombe abo.

²³ Amakhosi ayakuba ngoyise, nezindlovukazi zabo zibe ngonyoko; bayakukhothama phambi kwakho ubuso babo bubheke phansi, bakhothe uthuli ezinyaweni zakho; futhi niyokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngoba abalindele kimi ngeke babe namahloni.

²⁴ Impango iyothathwa yini kwabanamandla, noma isiboshwa esisemthethweni sisindiswe?

²⁵ Kodwa isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Ngisho nabathunjwa babanamandla bayothathwa, futhi impango yowesabekayo iyosindiswa;

²⁶ Abanicindezelayo ngiyakudlisa eyabo inyama; futhi bayodakwa yigazi labo siqu ngokungathi kungewayini elimnandi, futhi yonke inyama iyokwazi ukuthi mina, Jehova, nginguMhlengi wakho kanye noMhlengi wakho, uMninimandla kaJakobe.
