Isaya

11 Isetyana+ liza kuhluma esikhondweni sikaYese,+

Yaye ihlumelo+ elintshula kwiingcambu zakhe liza kuba nesiqhamo.

 2 Kwaye umoya kaYehova uza kuhlala phezu kwakhe,+

Umoya wobulumko+ nowokuqonda,

Umoya wokucebisa nowamandla,+

Umoya wokwazi nowokoyika uYehova.

Akazukugweba ngenxa nje yento ayibonayo,

Engazukohlwaya ngenxa nje yento ayive ngeendlebe.+

 4 Uza kumgweba ngobulungisa* ongenanto,

Abohlwaye ngobulungisa abalulamileyo bomhlaba.

Uza kuwubetha umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe+

Abulale umenzi-bubi ngomoya wemilebe yakhe.+

 5 Ubulungisa buza kuba libhanti esinqeni sakhe,

Nokuthembeka kube libhanti lesinqe sakhe.+

 6 Ingcuka iza kukhe ihlale netakane legusha,+

Ihlosi libuthe netakane lebhokhwe,

Kubuthe ndawonye ithole lenkomo nengonyama,* nesilwanyana esondlekileyo, zonke zihlale kunye;*+

Zikhokelwe yinkwenkwana.

 7 Imazi yenkomo nebhere ziza kutya kunye,

Amathole azo alale kunye.

 8 Usana luza kudlala emngxunyeni wephimpi,

Nomntwana olunyulweyo abeke isandla sakhe emngxunyeni wenyoka enobuhlungu.

 9 Azizukwenzakalisa+

Zingazukonakalisa kuyo yonke intaba yam engcwele,+

Kuba umhlaba ngokuqinisekileyo uza kugcwaliswa kukwazi uYehova

Njengokuba nolwandle lugcwele ngamanzi.+

Iintlanga ziza kucela icebiso kuye,*+

Nendawo yakhe yokuphumla iza kuba nozuko.

13 Umona kaEfrayim uza kuthi shwaka,+

Nabo baziintshaba zikaYuda baza kutshatyalaliswa.

UEfrayim akazummonela uYuda,

NoYuda akazukuba lutshaba lukaEfrayim.+

14 Baza kwehlela kumathambeka amaFilisti* ngasentshona;

Boxuthe izinto zabantu baseMpuma.

Baza kumoyisa uEdom+ noMowabhi,*+

Nama-Amoni aza kuba phantsi kwabo.+

15 UYehova uza kuyahlula phakathi* inyoba* yolwandle lwaseYiputa+

Aze aphekuze ngesandla sakhe phezu koMlambo.*+

Ngomoya wakhe otshisayo, uza kubetha imisinga yawo esixhenxe,

Yaye uza kubenza abantu banqumle kuwo benxibe iimbadada.

16 Kuza kubakho uhola wendlela+ ophuma eAsiriya abaza kuhamba kuwo abantu bakhe abashiyekileyo,+

Njengoko kwaba njalo kumaSirayeli ngemini awaphuma ngayo ezweni laseYiputa.
