UIsaya

Isahluko 41

Yithini tu phambi kwam, ziqithi; izizwe mazihlaziye amandla; mazize zisondele, zandule zithethe; masiqubisane ematyaleni.
2 Ngubani na ovuse empumalanga lowo ukhawulelwa bubulungisa ezinyaweni zakhe? Unikela iintlanga phambi kwakhe, unyathela ookumkani, ubanikela ekreleni lakhe njengothuli, esaphetheni sakhe njengomququ ophetshethwayo.
3 Uyabasukela, udlula enoxolo ngomendo abengawuhambanga ngeenyawo zakhe.
4 Ngubani na okusebenzileyo wakwenza oko, obiza izizukulwana kwasentloko? Ndim, mna Yehova, ndingowokuqala; nakwabangasemva ndikwanguye.
5 Iziqithi zabona zoyika, iziphelo zehlabathi zagubha, zasondela, zeza.
6 Umntu wamnceda ummelwane wakhe, wathi kumzalwana wakhe, Yomelela.
7 Ingcibi yomeleza umnyibilikisi; ogudisayo ngesando womeleza obetha esikhandelweni, esithi, Kulungile; wasiqinisa ngezikhonkwane, ukuba singashukumi isithixo.
8 Ke wena Sirayeli, mkhonzi wam Yakobi, wena ndakunyulayo, mbewu ka-Abraham umthandi wam;
9 endakubambayo kwaseziphelweni zehlabathi, endakubizayo kwasemacaleni alo; endathi kuwe, Ungumkhonzi wam wena, ndikunyule, andikucekisile;
10 musa ukoyika, kuba ndinawe mna; musa ukubhekabheka, kuba ndinguThixo wakho; ndikukhaliphisile, ewe, ndikuncedile, ndikuxhasile ngesandla sam sokunene sobulungisa bam.
11 Yabona, baya kudana bahlazeke bonke abavutha umsindo ngawe; aya kuba yinto engento, adake amadoda abambana nawe.
12 Uya kuwafuna, ungawafumani, amadoda aphikisana nawe; aya kuba yinto engento, engekhoyo, amadoda alwa nawe.
13 Ngokuba mna, Yehova Thixo wakho, ndiya kusibamba isandla sakho sokunene; ndingothi kuwe, Musa ukoyika, ndiya kukunceda mna.
14 Musa ukoyika, mbungu Yakobi, bantu bambalwa bakwaSirayeli; ndiya kukunceda mna; utsho uYehova, uMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
15 Yabona, ndikwenze isisizilo esibukhali esitsha, esintlangothi mbini; uya kuzi bhula iintaba uzicole, iinduli uzixelise umququ.
16 Uya kuzela, umoya uzitha bathe, umoya ovuthuzayo uziphangalalise; ke wena ugcobe ngoYehova, uqhayise ngoyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
17 Ke abaziintsizana nabangamahlwempu baya kufuna amanzi, angabikho, ulwimi lwabo lome linxano; mna Yehova ndiya kubaphendula; mna, Thixo kaSirayeli, andiyi kubashiya.
18 Ndiya kuyivula imilambo eluqayini, nemithombo phakathi kweentili, ndenze intlango ibe lidike elinamanzi, nomhlaba ongumqwebedu ube ziindawo eziphuma amanzi.
19 Ndiya kutyala entlango imisedare, nemingampunzi, nemimirtile, neminquma yasendle, ndimise enkqantosini imisipres, nemipleyini, nemigalagala, ndawonye;
20 ukuze babone, bazi, bagqale ngentliziyo, baqiqe kunye, ukuba isandla sikaYehova sikwenzile oko, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli ukudalile oko.
21 Sondezani iindawo enibambene ngazo, utsho uYehova; zimiseni iziganeko zenu, utsho uKumkani kaYakobi.
22 Mabazizise, basixelele okuza kuhla; mabaxele izinto zangaphambili, ubunjani bazo, sizigqale ngeentliziyo, silazi ikamva lazo; nokuba zezizayo siviseni.
23 Xelani izinto ezizayo ngasemva, ukuze sazi ukuba ningoothixo; ewe, yenzani okulungileyo, nokuba kokubi, sikhwankqiswe, sibonisane ngako.
24 Yabonani, ningabento engento, nomsebenzi wenu awuni yani; ulisikizi oninyulayo.
25 Ndivuse owasentla, weza; owasempumalanga, onqula igama lam; uzifikela iirhuluneli njengodaka, njengombumbi exovula udongwe.
26 Ngubani na owakuxelayo oko kwasekuqaleni? makavele sazi; owakuxelayo ngenxa engaphambili makavele, sithi, Ulungisile. Hayi, akukho waxelayo; hayi, akukho wavakalisayo; hayi, akukho wazivayo iintetho zenu.
27 Ndim endaqala ndathi kwiZiyon, Yabona, nanzo; ndayinika iYerusalem umshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo.
28 Kuba ndakhangela, akwabakho bani; nakwaba akwabakho bacebisi ndingababuzayo, baphendule ngelizwi.
29 Yabona, bonke bephela bayinto engento, ziyinto engekhoyo izenzo zabo, imifanekiso yabo etyhidiweyo ingumoya nochuku.
