UIsaya
Isahluko 55
Wenani! Nonke nina ninxaniweyo, yizani emanzini, nabangenamali; yizani, thengani nidle; yizani, thengani iwayini namasi, ningenani, ningenamali.
2 Yini na ukuba nilinganisele imali ngento engesonka, nokuxelenga kwenu ngento engahluthisiyo? Phulaphulani kum ninyameke, nidle okulungileyo, umphefumlo wenu uxhamle ukutyeba.
3 Thobani iindlebe zenu, nize kum; yivani, uphile umphefumlo wenu; ndenze umnqophiso ongunaphakade nani, iinceba zikaDavide ezinyanisekileyo.
4 Yabona, ndimenze ingqina ezizweni, inganga nomwisimethetho ezizweni.
5 Yabona, uya kubiza uhlanga ongalwaziyo, uhlanga olungakwaziyo wena lugidimele kuwe, ngenxa kaYehova uThixo wakho, ngenxa yoyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, kuba ekuhombisile.
6 Funani uYehova esenokufunyanwa; mbizeni esekufuphi.
7 Ongendawo makashiye indlela yakhe, indoda enobutshinga mayishiye iingcinga zayo, ibuyele kuYehova: woba nemfesane kuyo; ibuyele kuThixo wethu ngokuba woxolela ngokukhulu.
8 Kuba iingcinga zam asizizo iingcinga zenu, neendlela zenu asizizo iindlela zam, utsho uYehova.
9 Inene, njengokuba izulu liwuphakamele umhlaba, ngokunjalo iindlela zam ziziphakamele iindlela zenu, neengcinga zam ziziphakamele iingcinga zenu.
10 Kuba, njengokuba kusihla imvula nekhephu ezulwini, ingabuyeli kulo ingathanga iwunyakamise umhlaba uvunde, iwuhlumise, iwenze untshule, imnike imbewu umhlwayeli, imnike isonka odlayo:
11 liya kuba njalo ilizwi lam eliphuma emlonyeni wam; aliyi kubuyela kum lilambatha, lingakwenzanga endikuthandayo, lingakuphumelelisanga oko ndilithumela kuko.
12 Kuba niya kuphuma ninovuyo, nithundezwe ninoxolo. Iintaba neenduli ziya kugqabhuka zimemelele phambi kwenu, imithi yasendle ibethe izandla.
13 Esikhundleni somqaqoba kuya kuphuma imisedare, esikhundleni serhawu kuya kunyuka imimirtile; oko kube ligama kuYehova, nomqondiso ongunaphakade ongayi kunqanyulwa.
