Isaya
45 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova kulogcotjiwe wakhe, lokunguKhuresi,+
Loyo lengimbambe ngesandla sakhe sangesekudla+
Kuze ancobe tive embikwakhe,+
Kuze emuke emakhosi tikhali tawo,*
Kuze avule iminyango lemikhulu lesembikwakhe lenetivalo letimbili,
Kuze emagede angavalwa:
Futsi ngicondzise emagcuma,
Ngephule iminyango yelitfusi ibe ticucu,
Futsi ngijube tinsimbi ngitilahle phansi.+
3 Ngiyawukunika umcebo ebumnyameni
Ngikunike nemcebo lofihlwe etindzaweni letisemasitseleni,+
Kuze wati kutsi mine nginguJehova,
Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, lokubita ngelibito lakho.+
4 Ngenca yenceku yami Jakobe nangenca ya-Israyeli, lokhetsiwe wami,
Ngikubita ngelibito lakho.
Ngikunika libito leludvumo, ngisho naloku bewungangati.
5 Mine nginguJehova futsi kute lomunye.
Kute lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.+
Ngitakucinisa, ngisho noma bewungangati,
6 Kuze bantfu bati
Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelilanga kuze kube sekushoneni kwalo,*
Kutsi kute lomunye ngaphandle kwami.+
Mine nginguJehova futsi kute lomunye.+
7 Ngidala kukhanya+ ngidale nebumnyama,+
Ngenta kuthula+ ngidale nenhlekelele;+
Mine Jehova ngenta tonkhe letintfo.
8 Nine mazulu nisani imvula lesuka etulu;+
Emafu awatfulule kulunga.
Umhlaba awuvuleke bese ukhicita insindziso,
Futsi awubangele kutsi kulunga kuphuphume ngesikhatsi sinye.+
Mine Jehova ngikudalile loko.”
9 Maye kuloyo lomelana* neMenti wakhe,
Ngobe umane nje ulucetu lolwentiwe ngelubumba
Ulucetu emkhatsini waletinye tincetu letentiwe ngelubumba letisakake phansi.
Lubumba lungasho yini kuMbumbi lutsi: “Wakhani?”+
Nobe intfo loyakhile ingasho yini itsi: “Ute tandla”?*
10 Maye kuloyo lotsi kubabe wakhe: “Utalani nje?”
Nalotsi kumfati: “Yini lena loyitalako?”*
11 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova, Longcwele waka-Israyeli,+ Loyo lowamdala:
“Ungangibuta yini ngetintfo letiseta
Uphindze unginike umyalo ngalokufanele ngikwente emadvodzaneni ami+ nasemisebentini yetandla tami?
12 Umhlaba ngawenta+ ngaphindze ngadala umuntfu kuwo.+
13 “Ngiphakamise umuntfu ngekulunga,+
Futsi ngitawenta tonkhe tindlela takhe ticondze.
Nguye lotawakha lidolobha lami+
Aphindze akhulule bantfu bami labatfunjiwe,+ ngaphandle kwekubhadalwa nome kudizelwa,”+ kusho Jehova wemabutfo.
14 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova:
“Inzuzo* yeGibhithe netintfo letitsengiswako* taseTopiya netebantfu baseSeba, lokubantfu labadze,
Tiyawufika kuwe futsi tibe takho.
Bayawukulandzela baboshwe ngetinketane.
Bayawufika bakukhotsamele.+
Bayawuthantaza batsi: ‘Nembala Nkulunkulu unawe,+
Futsi kute lomunye; kute lomunye Nkulunkulu.’”
15 Wena unguNkulunkulu lotifihlako,
Awu Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, Msindzisi.+
16 Bonkhe bayawuba nemahloni futsi batselwe ngelihlazo;
Labakha tithico bayawuhamba bahlazekile.+
17 Kodvwa ema-Israyeli ayawusindziswa nguJehova ngensindziso yaphakadze.+
Angeke nitselwe ngelihlazo nobe nihlazeke kuze kube phakadze.+
18 Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguJehova,
UMdali wemazulu+ longuNkulunkulu weliciniso,
Loyo lowadala umhlaba, uMenti wawo lowawumisa,+
Longazange awudalele lite nje,* kodvwa lawudalela kutsi kuhlalwe kuwo,+ utsi:
“Mine nginguJehova, kute lomunye.
19 Angizange ngikhulume ngisendzaweni lefihlekile,+ eveni lebumnyama;
Angizange ngitsi entalelwaneni* yaJakobe,
‘Ngifuneleni lite.’
Mine nginguJehova lokhuluma lokulungile futsi amemetele lokungiko.+
20 Hlanganani ndzawonye bese niyeta.
Sondzelani kanyekanye nine lenaphunyula etiveni.+
Abati lutfo labo labahambahamba betfwele tithico letibatiwe
Baphindze bathantaze kunkulunkulu longeke akhone kubasindzisa.+
21 Yetfulani umbiko wenu, letsani indzaba yenu.
Abakhulumisane ngebunye.
Ngubani lowakusho kadzeni loku
Nalowakumemetela kusukela etikhatsini letengcile?
Akusimi yini, mine Jehova?
Kute lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami;
Nkulunkulu lolungile neMsindzisi,+ kute lomunye ngaphandle kwami.+
22 Wotani kimi nisindziswe,+ nine mikhawulo yemhlaba,
Ngobe mine nginguNkulunkulu futsi kute lomunye.+
Onkhe emadvolo atawuguca embikwami,
Tonkhe tilwimi titawufunga ngekwetsembeka+
24 Titawutsi: ‘Jehova unguNkulunkulu wekulunga nemandla.
Bonkhe labo labamtfukutselele bayokuta kuye bahlazekile.
