UIsaya

Isahluko 49

Phulaphulani kum, ziqithi; bazani indlebe, zizwe zikude; uYehova undibize kwasesizalweni, ulikhankanye kwasezibilinini zikama igama lam.
2 Wawenza umlomo wam wanjengekrele elibukhali, wandizimeza esithunzini sesandla sakhe, wandenza utolo olubaziweyo, wandisithelisa emphongolweni;
3 wathi kum, Ungumkhonzi wam, wena Sirayeli, endiya kuhomba ngaye.
4 Ndathi mna, Ndifumane ndazixhamla, ndawaphelisa amandla am ngochuku, nangento engento; noko ibango lam likuYehova, nomvuzo wam unoThixo wam.
5 Kaloku ke uthi uYehova, owandibumba kwasesizalweni, ukuba ndibe ngumkhonzi kuye wokubuyisela uYakobi kuye, uSirayeli ahlanganiselwe kuye (ndizukile emehlweni kaYehova, uThixo wam waba ngamandla am);
6 uthi ke, Kuyinto elula ukuba ube ngumkhonzi kum wokumisa izizwe zakwaYakobi, ubuyise abalondolozwa bakaSirayeli; kananjalo ndiya kukwenza isikhanyiso seentlanga, ukuba ube lusindiso lwam, ude uze eziphelweni zehlabathi.
7 Utsho uYehova, uMkhululi kaSirayeli, oyiNgcwele wakhe, komphefumlo udelekileyo, kongamasikizi ezintlangeni, kumkhonzi wezilawuli, ukuthi, Ookumkani baya kubona, basuke beme, nabathetheli babone, baqubude ngenxa kaYehova onyanisekileyo, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, ngokokuba ekunyule.
8 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngexesha elamkelekileyo ndikuphendule, ndakunceda ngemini yosindiso. Ndiya kukubumba, ndikunike ukuba ube ngumnqophiso wabantu, ukuba ulimise ilizwe, ukuba uwabe amafa angamanxuwa;
9 uthi kubabanjwa, Phumani; kwabasemnyameni, Velani. Baya kudla ngokomhlambi ezindleleni, amadlelo abo abekho naseluqayini lonke.
10 Abayi kulamba, abayi kunxanwa, abayikubethwa sisanga nalilanga; ngokuba onemfesane kubo uya kubaqhuba, abathundezele emanzini ampompozayo.
11 Ndiya kuzenza zonke iintaba zam zibe ziindlela, uphakame umendo wam.
12 Yabona, aba baya kuvela kude; yabona, aba baya kuvela kwelasentla naselwandle, aba bavele ezweni lamaSini.
13 Memelelani, mazulu; gcoba, hlabathi; gqabhukani nimemelele, zintaba; ngokuba uYehova ubathuthuzele abantu bakhe, unemfesane kwabaziintsizana zakhe.
14 Ke yathi iZiyon, UYehova undishiyile, iNkosi yandilibala.
15 Umfazi angalulibala yini na usana lwakhe, ukuba angabi namfesane kunyana wesizalo sakhe? Nokuba oonina abo bathe balibala, andiyi kukulibala mna.
16 Uyabona, ndikuvambile ezintendeni zezandla zam; iindonga zakho zihlala zimi phambi kwam.
17 Oonyana bakho bayakhawuleza, bayeza; abagungxuli bakho nabachithi bakho bayaphuma kuwe.
18 Phakamisa amehlo akho ngeenxa zonke, ubone; bonke bephela bayahlanganisana, beza kuwe. Ndihleli nje, utsho uYehova, uya kubanxiba bonke bephela njengezivatho, ubabhinqe ngokombhinqo womtshakazi.
19 Ngokuba amanxuwa akho la, neendawo zakho ezigungxuliweyo, nelizwe lakho elichithakeleyo-inene, ngoku uya kuxinana ngabemi kulo, babe kude abaginyi bakho.
20 Basaya kuthi ezindlebeni zakho oonyana bakho obubahluthiwe, Indawo ixinene kum, ndikhwelele, ndihlale;
21 uya kuthi entliziyweni yakho, Ngubani na lo undizalele aba? Mna bendihluthiwe abantwana nje, ndaba ludlolo, ndafuduswa, ndagxothwa; ke aba bakhuliswe ngubani na? Uyabona, mna bendisele ndedwa; aba babephi na?
22 Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uyabona, ndisiphakamisela ezintlangeni isandla sam, ndiyinyusele ezizweni ibhanile yam, zibazise ke oonyana bakho, zibawole ngeengalo, neentombi zakho zithwalwe ngamagxa,
23 Ookumkani baya kuba ngabondli bakho, namakhosikazi abo abe ngabanyisi bakho. Baya kuqubuda kuwe, bese ubuso emhlabeni, bakhothe uthuli lweenyawo zakho; wazi ke ukuba ndinguYehova, obathembi bakhe bangayi kudana.
24 Anokuthatyathwa na amaxhoba kwigorha, basinde na abathinjiweyo bengamulungisa?
25 Inene, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Nabathinjwe ligorha baya kuthatyathwa, namaxhoba omngcangcazelisi aya kusinda; ke obambana nawe, mna ndiya kubambana naye, ndibasindise mna oonyana bakho.
26 Abakuxinzelela phantsi ndobadlisa eyabo inyama, banxiliswe lelabo igazi ngathi kungewayini entsha; yazi inyama yonke, ukuba mna, Yehova, ndinguMsindisi wakho, ukuba uMkhululi wakho ngOnamandla kaYakobi.
