U-Isaya
2 Umoya kaJehova uzahlala phezu kwakhe,+
Umoya wokuhlakanipha+ lowokuzwisisa,
Umoya wokweluleka lowamandla+
Umoya wolwazi lowokwesaba uJehova.
3 Ukwesaba uJehova kuzamthokozisa.+
Kasoze ahlulele ngalokho akubona ngamehlo akhe,
Kumbe akhuze kusiya ngalokho akuzwe ngendlebe zakhe.+
5 Ukulunga kuzakuba libhanti ekhalweni lwakhe,
Lokuthembeka lakho kube libhanti ekhalweni lwakhe.+
6 lzinyane lemvu leganyana kuzaphumula ndawonye,*+
Ingwe ilale ndawonye lezinyane lembuzi,
lsilwane lethole kanye lenyamazana enonileyo kuzakuba ndawonye,*+
Njalo kuzakhokhelwa ngumfana omncane.
7 Inkomo lebhere kuzakudla ndawonye,
Amathole enyamazana lezi alale ndawonye.
Isilwane sizakudla utshani njengenkunzi.+
8 Umntwana omunyayo uzadlalela lapho okulomlindi wephimpi khona,
Lomntwana okhutshwe ebeleni uzafaka isandla sakhe emlindini wenyoka eyingozi.
Loba kudilize kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele,+
Ngoba emhlabeni kuzagcwala ulwazi olumayelana loJehova
Njengamanzi agcwele ulwandle.+
10 Ngalelolanga impande kaJese+ izakuma ibe yisibonakaliso* ebantwini.+
11 Ngalelolanga uJehova uzakwelula isandla sakhe okwesibili ukuze abuyise abaseleyo bakhe abalokhu bese-Asiriya,+ eGibhithe,+ ePhatrosi,+ eKhushi,+ e-Elami,+ eShinari,* eHamathi kanye lasezihlengeni zolwandle.+ 12 Uzaphakamisela izizwe isibonakaliso, aqoqe abako-Israyeli+ abasabaleleyo njalo abuthanise abakoJuda abahlakazekileyo emagumbini amane omhlaba.+
13 Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uzaphela,+
Lalabo abamelana loJuda bazatshabalaliswa.
U-Efrayimi kasoze abe lomhawu ngoJuda,
LoJuda kasoze amelane lo-Efrayimi.+
14 Bazakwehla behwitha ezindaweni ezehlileyo zamaFilisti, ngasentshonalanga;
Bazabambana bathumbe impahla yabantu baseMpumalanga.
Uzatshaya izifudlana zawo eziyisikhombisa* ngomoya wakhe otshisa bhe,
Enze ukuthi abantu bachaphe begqoke amanyathela abo.
