Isaya
13 Nasi simemetelo lesimayelana neBhabhulona,+ lesabonwa ngu-Isaya+ indvodzana ya-Amozi embonweni:
2 “Phakamisa luphawu+ entsabeni lenemadvwala kuphela.
Bamemete, ujikitise sandla sakho,
Kuze bete batewungena emagedeni etitatanyiswa.
3 Ngikhiphe umyalo kulabo lengibakhetsile.*+
Ngitjele emasotja ami latingwazi kutsi avete intfukutselo yami,
Lawo lajabule kakhulu.
4 Lalela! Sicumbi lesisetintsabeni;
Umsindvo waso uvakala njengewesicumbi sebantfu labanyenti!
Lalela! Kubhodla kwemibuso,
Kubhodla kwetive letibutsene ndzawonye!+
Jehova wemabutfo uhlanganisa libutfo kute lilungele imphi.+
5 Basuka endzaweni lekhashane,+
Basuka emikhawulweni yemazulu,
Jehova uta kanye netikhali tentfukutselo yakhe,
Kuze baletse imbhubhiso kuwo wonkhe umhlaba.+
6 Lilani ngobe lilanga laJehova lisondzele!
Litawufika njengembhubhiso levela kuSomandla.+
7 Kungako nje tonkhe tandla tiyawukhubateka,
Futsi tonkhe tinhlitiyo tebantfu tiyawukwesaba.+
8 Bantfu betfuke kakhulu.+
Babanjwe kuvevetela netinhlungu,
Njengemfati lophetfwe ngumhelo.
Babukana bodvwana ngekwesaba,
Buso babo bugcwele lusizi.
9 Lilanga laJehova liyeta,
Linesibhuku lesihambisana nelulaka lolukhulu kanye nentfukutselo lenkhulu,
Kuze lente lelive libe yintfo lebangela kwesaba+
Futsi kucotfulwe toni letihlala kulo.
10 Ngobe tinkhanyeti temazulu nemitsala yato+
Ngeke kukhanyise;
Lilanga litawuba mnyama naliphuma,
Nenyeti angeke ikhanyise.
11 Ngitawenta bantfu labahlala emhlabeni kutsi balandzise ngebubi babo,+
Nebantfu lababi ngitabenta balandzise ngetono tabo.
Ngitakucedza kutikhukhumeta kwalabo labenta tintfo labete lilungelo lekutenta,
Futsi ngitawutfobisa kutati kwebabusi labacindzetelako.+
12 Ngitawubangela kutsi umuntfu abe yindlala kwendlula ligolide lelicwengisisiwe,+
Nebantfu batawuba yindlala kwendlula ligolide lase-Ofiri.+
13 Kungako ngitawubangela kutsi emazulu achachatele,
Nemhlaba utawutamatama ususwe endzaweni yawo+
Loko kutawubangelwa yintfukutselo lenkhulu yaJehova wemabutfo ngelilanga lelulaka lwakhe.
14 Njengenyamatane letingelwako nanjengemhlambi lote umelusi,
Nguloyo naloyo utawubuyela kubantfu bakubo;
Nguloyo naloyo utawubalekela eveni lakubo.+
15 Noma ngubani lotawutfolakala utawugwazwa,
Futsi noma ngubani lotawubanjwa utawubulawa ngenkemba.+
16 Bantfwababo batawufihlitwa babe ticucu embikwabo babukile,+
Tindlu tabo titawugcekezwa,
Nebafati babo batawudlwengulwa.
17 Ngitawuvusa emaMede kutsi amelane nabo,+
Lawo latsatsa lisiliva njengelite
Futsi langajatjuliswa naligolide.
18 Butjoki bawo butawubulala emajaha;+
Angeke abe nesihawu esitselweni sesibeletfo
Futsi angeke abe nemusa kubantfwana.
19 IBhabhulona, inkhatimulo* yemibuso,+
Buhle neligcabho lemaKhaledi,+
Itawufana neSodoma neGomora ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu akuketula.+
20 Angeke kuphindze kuhlale muntfu kuyo,
Futsi angeke isaba yindzawo yekuhlala, titukulwane ngetitukulwane.+
Um-Arabu angeke akhe lithende lakhe khona,
Kute nebelusi labatakwelusela imihlambi yabo khona.
21 Tilwane taselugwadvule titawuhlala khona;
Tindlu tabo titawugcwala tikhova.
22 Tilwane letishaya umkhulungwane, titawushayela emibhoshongweni yayo
Bojakalazi batawukhala etigodlweni tayo takanokusho.
Sikhatsi sayo sisondzele futsi emalanga ayo angeke elulwe.”+
