U-Isaya 56 - IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE

Ukusindiswa kungokwabezizwe

¹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Gcinani ukwahlulela, nenze ukulunga, ngokuba insindiso yami iseduze ukuba ifike, nokulunga kwami ukuba kwambulwe.

² Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza lokhu, nendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho, ogcina isabatha engaloni, osibamba isandla sakhe ukuba singenzi nakuphi okubi.”

³ Indodana yowezizwe ezihlanganise noJehova mayingasho ukuthi: “Impela uJehova uyakungahlukanisa nabantu bakhe,” nomthenwa angathi: “Bheka, ngingumuthi owomileyo.”

⁴ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngabathenwa, uthi: “Abagcina amasabatha ami, nabakhetha engikuthandayo, nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami

⁵ bona ngiyakubanika endlini yami naphakathi kwezingange zami isikhumbuzo negama elihle kunamadodana namadodakazi; ngiyakubanika igama eliphakade, elingayikunqunywa.

⁶ Nabezizwe abazihlanganisa noJehova ukumkhonza uJehova nokulithanda igama likaJehova ukuba babe yizinceku zakhe bonke abaligcina isabatha, bangaloni, nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami,

⁷ yebo, nabo ngiyakubayisa entabeni yami engcwele, ngibathokozise endlini yami yokukhuleka; iminikelo yabo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yabo iyakwamukeleka e-altare lami, ngokuba indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuthi indlu yokukhuleka phakathi kwabantu bonke.”

⁸ INkosi uJehova ebutha abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli ithi: “Ngisezakubuthela kuye nabanye ngaphandle kwabase bebuthiwe.”

¹² Wozani, ngiyakuletha iwayini, sizakuzigcwalisa ngophuzo olunamandla; nengomuso liyakuba njenganamuhla, libe likhulu kakhulu.
