UIsaya

Isahluko 59

Yabonani, isandla sikaYehova asisifutshane, ukuba singasindisi; nendlebe yakhe ayinzima, ukuba ingevi.
2 Bubugwenxa benu obunahlukanisileyo noThixo wenu, zizono zenu ezibusithelisileyo ubuso bakhe kuni, ukuba angevi.
3 Kuba izandla zenu zidyobhekile ligazi, neminwe yenu bubugwenxa; nomlomo wenu uthetha ubuxoki, ulwimi lwenu ludumzela ubugqwetha.
4 Akukho uvakalisa ilizwi elinobulungisa, akukho umangalelana nomnye enyanisile; bakholose ngochuku, bathethe inkohlakalo; bakhawula ububi, bazale ubutshinga.
5 Baqandusela amaqanda erhamba, baluka izindlu zesigcawu. Lowo udla amaqanda abo uya kufa; elinyathelweyo liqandulelwa inyushu.
6 Imisonto yabo ayiyi kuba yingubo, nemisebenzi yabo ayiyi kubagubungela. Izenzo zabo zizenzo zobutshinga; ukusebenza ngogonyamelo kusezandleni zabo.
7 Iinyawo zabo zigidimela ebubini, zikhawuleze ukuya kuphalaza igazi elimsulwa; iingcinga zabo ziingcinga zobutshinga; emendweni wabo kukubhuqa nokwaphula.
8 Abayazi indlela yoxolo, okusesikweni akukho emikhondweni yabo; bazijikajikile iindlela zabo; bonke abanyathela kuzo abalwazi uxolo.
9 Ngenxa yoko kukude kuthi okusesikweni, nobulungisa abufikeleli kuthi. Sithembe ukukhanya, nanku ke kumnyama; sithembe ukuba kube mhlophe, sihamba esithokothokweni.
10 Siya phuthaphutha njengeemfama eludongeni; siyaphuthaphutha njengabangenamehlo; sikhubeka emini enkulu ngathi kungongcwalazi; phakathi kwabaxhamla ubomi, ngathi thina singabafileyo.
11 Siyavungama njengebhere sonke siphela; sidumzela sidumzele njengamavukuthu; sithemba okusesikweni, kungabikho; sithemba usindiso, lube kude kuthi.
12 Kuba zininzi izikreqo zethu phambi kwakho, nezono zethu ziyangqina ngathi; kuba izikreqo zethu zinathi, nobugwenxa bethu siyabazi:
13 ukukreqa kuYehova, nokumkhanyela, nokubuya umva kuThixo wethu, ukuthetha okucudisayo, okutyekisayo, ukukhawula nokuphimisela ngentliziyo amazwi obuxoki.
14 Okusesikweni kubuyiswe umva, nobulungisa bumi kude; ngokuba inyaniso ikhubekile endaweni yembutho, akunakungena okuthe gca.
15 Yesuka yasweleka inyaniso, nocezayo ebubini wazibhunyulisa. Wabona ke uYehova, kwakubi emehlweni akhe, ukuba kungekho okusesikweni.
16 Wabona ukuba akukho mntu, wamangaliswa ukuba kungekho mthandazeli; yaza yamsindisela ingalo yakhe, nobulungisa bakhe bona bamxhasa.
17 Wanxiba ubulungisa ngokwengubo yentsimbi, wanxiba isigcina-ntloko sosindiso entloko; ukwambatha wambatha iingubo zempindezelo, wazithi wambu ngekhwele, kwanga kungengubo yokwaleka.
18 Ngokwempatho yabo leyo uya kubuyekeza ngokoko, ubushushu kubabandezeli bakhe, kwaimpatho yabo kwabaziintshaba zakhe; kwiziqithi uya kubuyekeza kwaimpatho yazo.
19 Baya kuloyika igama likaYehova entshonalanga, baboyike ubuqaqawuli bakhe empumalanga; kuba uya kuza njengomlambo oxineneyo, obalekiswa ngumoya kaYehova;
20 eze engumkhululi weZiyon, wababuyayo elukreqweni kwaYakobi; utsho uYehova.
21 Mna ke nguwo lo umnqophiso wam nabo, utsho uYehova; uMoya wam ophezu kwakho, nelizwi lam endilibeke emlonyeni wakho, aliyi kusuka emlonyeni wakho, nasemlonyeni wembewu yakho, nasemlonyeni wembewu yembewu yakho, utsho uYehova, kuthabathele kweli xesha kude kuse ephakadeni.
