Isaya
27 Ngelangelo uJehova ngesabulakhe enelunya, ekulu neqinileko,+
Uzokujezisa uLeviyathani,* inyoka etjhelelako,
ULeviyathani inyoka ezisongasongako,
Uzokubulala isilwana esikhulu esisabekako esiselwandle.
2 Ngelangelo mbhineleni* nithi:
“Isimu yamadiribe yewayini elinamagwebu!+
3 Mina Jehova ngiyamvikela.+
Ngaso soke isikhathi ngiyamthelelela.+
Ngiyamvikela ubusuku nemini,
Bona kungabi nomuntu omlimazako.+
4 Angikamsilingekeli.+
Ngubani ozokuqalana nami ngemithi yameva nekhula epini?
Ngizobagadanga begodu ngizobatjhisa boke.
5 Nakungasinjalo, akakakarele esiphephelweni sami.
Akenze ukuthula nami;
Ukuthula akakwenze nami.”
6 Emalangeni azako uJakopo uzokuba nomrabhu,
U-Israyeli uzokuhluma, abe namathuthumbo,+
Begodu bazokuzalisa inarha ngomkhiqizo.+
7 Inga-kghani kufuze abethwe ngesijeziso saloyo ombethako?
Namkha kufuze abulawe ngokurhayilwa njengababuleweko bakhe?
8 Uzokuphikisana naye ngokulila okuthusako nawumqothako.
Uzomqotha ngelaka lakhe elivuthako ngelanga lomoya wepumalanga.+
9 Nje-ke umtjhapho kaJakopo uzokulitjalelwa ngendlela le,+
Begodu lesi kuzokuba
sithelo esipheleleko lokha isono sakhe nasisuswako:
Uzokwenza woke amatje we-aldareni
Afane namatje wetjhogo agayiweko,
Begodu azikho iingodo ezicwengileko* namkha ama-aldara wepepho azokusala.+
10 Ngombana idorobho elivikelekileko lizokulahlwa;
Amadlelo azokutjhiywa, alahlwe njengommango.+
Ikonyana lizokudla bese lilale lapho
Lizokurhiribidela neempande zalo.+
11 Lokha amahlumelalo nakomako,
Umfazi uzokuza bese awaphule,
Abase ngawo umlilo.
Ngombana isitjhabesi asizwisisi.+
Kungebangelo uMenzaso angekhe abe nesirhawu kiso,
Naloyo osenzileko angekhe abe nomusa kiso.+
12 Ngelangelo uJehova uzokubuthelela iinthelo kusukela emlanjaneni ogelezako woMlambo* ukuya emRhobeni* weGibhide+ begodu nina bantu bakwa-Israyeli nizokubuthelelwa omunye ngemva komunye.+ 13 Ngelangelo kuzokuvuthelwa iphondo elikhulu+ begodu labo abatjhabalalako enarheni ye-Asiriya+ nalabo abaphadlhaleleko enarheni yeGibhide,+ bazokuza bese bakhothame kuJehova entabeni ecwengileko yeJerusalema.+
