U-Isaya 66

¹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, nomhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami. Iphi indlu oNgakhela yona? iphi indawo yami yokuphumula na?

² Ngokuba zonke lezi zinto zenziwe yisandla sami, futhi zonke lezi zinto zenzekile, kusho uJehova; kepha lo ngiyakumbheka ompofu nobuthakathaka emoyeni, othuthumela ngezwi lami.

³ Ohlaba inkomo unjengobulala umuntu; onikela ngewundlu unjengonquma intamo yenja; onikela ngomnikelo wempuphu unjengonikela ngegazi lezingulube; onyusa impepho njengobusisa isithombe. Yebo, bazikhethele izindlela zabo, futhi umphefumulo wabo ujabulela izinengiso zabo.

⁴ Futhi ngiyokhetha iziphambeko zabo ngehlisele phezu kwabo usizi lwabo; ngokuba lapho ngibiza, akwaphendula muntu; lapho ngikhuluma, abalalelanga, kodwa benza okubi emehlweni ami, bakhetha lokho engingathokozi ngakho.

⁵ Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina enithuthumela ngezwi lakhe! Abafowenu abanizondayo, abanixosha ngenxa yegama lami, bathi: “Makadunyiswe uJehova, kepha uyakubonakala ngokujabula kwenu, bajabhe.

⁶ Yizwi lomsindo elivela emzini, yizwi elivela ethempelini, izwi likaJehova ephindisela ezitheni zakhe.

⁷ Ngaphambi kokuba abelethe, wabeletha; zingakafiki ubuhlungu wabeletha umntwana wesilisa.

⁸ Ngubani oke wezwa into enje? Ubani owabona izinto ezinjalo? Ingabe ngolunye usuku umhlaba uyoveza? kumbe isizwe sizazalwa masinyane? ngoba lapho nje iSiyoni selizala, lizala abantwana balo.

⁹ Ngibelethe ngingazali na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Ngiyakwenza ukuba isisu sikanina sizale, ngisivale na? usho uNkulunkulu wakho.

¹⁰ Thokozani kanye neJerusalema, nithokoze kanye nalo, nina nonke enilithandayo; jabulani kanye nalo, nonke abalilelayo.

¹¹ Ukuze nincele, nisuthe emabeleni enduduzo yalo; ukuze nisenge, nithokoze ngokuchichima kwenkazimulo yalo.

¹² Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakulinika ukuthula njengomfula, nenkazimulo yabezizwe njengomfula ogobhozayo; khona-ke uyakuncela, uthwalwe emaceleni akhe, uphonseke emadolweni akhe.

¹³ Njengoduduza unina, kanjalo ngiyakuniduduza; futhi niyoduduzwa eJerusalema.

¹⁴ Lapho ubona, inhliziyo yakho iyojabula, namathambo akho ayoqhakaza njengesitshalo; futhi isandla sikaJehova sizokwaziwa ezincekwini zakhe nolaka lwakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.

¹⁵ Ngokuba bhekani, uJehova uyakuza ngomlilo nezinqola zakhe njengesivunguvungu, ukuze abekezelele ulaka lwakhe ngolaka nokusola kwakhe ngamalangabi omlilo.

¹⁶ Ngoba ngomlilo nangenkemba yakhe uJehova uyolwa nayo yonke inyama, futhi labo abanqotshwa uJehova bayoba baningi.

¹⁷ Labo abazingcwelisayo, bazihlambulule ezivandeni emva kwesihlahla esiphakathi, badle ingulube, nesinengiso, negundane, bayakuqedwa kanyekanye,” usho uJehova.

¹⁸ Ngokuba ngiyazazi izenzo zabo nemicabango yabo; kuyofika lapho ngiyobutha zonke izizwe nezilimi; futhi bazakuza babone inkazimulo yami.

¹⁹ Ngiyakwenza isibonakaliso phakathi kwabo, ngibathume abaphunyukileyo kubo ezizweni, eTharishishi, nasePhuli, naseLudi, abansala umnsalo, eThubali naseJavani, eziqhingini ezikude, ezingazange zibe khona. Wezwa amahemuhemu ami, akabonanga inkazimulo yami; bayakumemezela inkazimulo yami phakathi kwezizwe.

²⁰ Bayakuletha bonke abafowenu kube ngumhlatshelo kuJehova bevela ezizweni zonke begibele amahhashi, nangezinqola, nangezikebhe, naphezu kweminyuzi, nangezilwane ezinejubane, entabeni yami engcwele eJerusalema,” usho uJehova, “njengalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli beletha. “Umnikelo ngesitsha esihlambulukileyo endlini kaJehova.

²¹ Futhi ngizothatha kubo babe ngabapristi namaLevi,” kusho uJehova.

²² Ngokuba njengalokhu izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha engiyakuwenza kuyakuma phambi kwami, usho uJehova, kanjalo kuyakuma inzalo yenu negama lenu.

²³ Kusukela ekwethwaseni kwenyanga kuye kwenye, kusukela kwelinye isabatha kuye kwelinye, yonke inyama iyakuza ukukhuleka phambi kwami,” usho uJehova.

²⁴ Bayakuphuma babone izidumbu zamadoda aphambuke kimi; ngoba impethu yabo kayiyikufa, lomlilo wabo kawuyikucitsha; bayakuba yisinengiso kuyo yonke inyama.
