Isaya
2 Naku lokwabonwa ngu-Isaya indvodzana ya-Amozi mayelana nesive sakaJuda neJerusalema:+
2 Encenyeni yekugcina yemalanga,*
Intsaba yendlu yaJehova
Iyawukuma icine ngetulu kweticongo tetintsaba,+
Iyawuphakanyiswa ibe ngetulu kwemagcuma,
Futsi tonkhe tive tiyawugeletela+ kuyo.
3 Bantfu labanyenti bayawuhamba batsi:
“Wotani sikhuphukele entsabeni yaJehova,
Endlini yaNkulunkulu waJakobe.+
Utasifundzisa tindlela takhe,
Futsi sitawuhamba etindleleni takhe.”+
Tiyawugucula tinkemba tato tibe ngemakhuba,
Tikhali tato titente tikelo tekutsena tihlahla.+
Sive ngeke siphindze silwe nalesinye sive,
Futsi ngeke tiphindze ticeceshelwe kulwa imphi.+
5 Awu wena ndlu yaJakobe buya,
Asihambe ekukhanyeni kwaJehova.+
6 Ngoba wena ubalahlile bantfu bakho, indlu yaJakobe,+
Ngobe lelive seligcwele tintfo taseMphumalanga;
Benta imilingo+ njengemaFilisti,
Futsi bagcwalise bantfwana baletinye tive.
7 Live labo ligcwele lisiliva neligolide,
Futsi banemcebo lomnyenti kakhulu.
Live labo ligcwele emahhashi,
Futsi tincola tabo tinyenti kakhulu.+
8 Live labo ligcwele tithico letingenamsebenti.+
Bakhotsamela imisebenti yetandla tabo,
Bakhotsamela loko iminwe yabo lekwakhile.
9 Ngako umuntfu uyaguca, futsi uyahlazeka,
Angeke ubacolele.
10 Ngenani emhumeni nitifihle emhlabatsini
Ngenca yekuba khona kwaJehova lokwesabekako
Kanye nebukhulu bakhe lobukhatimulako.+
11 Bantfu labatikhukhumetako batakwehliswa,
Bantfu labatatiko batawutfotjiswa.
NguJehova kuphela lotawudvunyiswa ngalelolanga.
12 Ngobe leli lilanga laJehova wemabutfo.+
Litawufikela wonkhe umuntfu lotigcabhako nalotiphakamisako,
Litawufikela wonkhe umuntfu, nome ngabe usesigabeni lesisetulu nobe lesiphansi,+
13 Litawufikela yonkhe imisedari yaseLebanoni lesetulu nalephakanyisiwe
Lifikele nato tonkhe tihlahla tem-okhi taseBhashani,
14 Litawufikela tonkhe tintsaba
Nawo onkhe emagcuma laphakeme,
15 Litawufikela yonkhe imibhoshongo lephakeme nalo lonkhe lubondza lolucinile,
16 Litawufikela yonkhe imikhumbi yaseThashishi+
Nato tonkhe tikebhe letitsandvwako.
17 Bantfu labatigcabhako batakwehliswa,
Bantfu labatatiko batawutfotjiswa.
NguJehova kuphela lotawuphakanyiswa ngalelolanga.
18 Bonkulunkulu labangenamsebenti batawunyamalala.+
19 Bantfu batawungena emihumeni yemadvwala
Nasemigodzini lesemhlabatsini,+
Ngenca yekuba khona kwaJehova lokwetfusako
Nangenca yebukhulu bakhe lobukhatimulako,+
Nakefika kuze abangele kutsi umhlaba utanyatanyiswe kwesaba.
20 Ngalelolanga bantfu bayawutsatsa bonkulunkulu babo labangenamsebenti belisiliva nebeligolide
Labo lababakhile kuze babakhotsamele
Futsi bayawubalahla lapho kunemagundvwane lashwabadzelako khona, nalapho kunemalulwane khona,+
21 Kuze bangene emigodzini lesemadvwaleni
Nasetimfeni temadvwala,
Ngenca yekuba khona kwaJehova lokwetfusako
Kanye nebukhulu bakhe lobukhatimulako,
Nakefika kuze ente umhlaba utanyatanyiswe kwesaba.
22 Kuze kusitakale nine, yekelani kubeka litsemba lenu kumuntfu,
Ufana nemoya nje lophuma emakhaleni akhe.
Kungani kufanele alandzise?
