U-Isaya 56
56
Ukusindiswa kungokwabezizwe
1 Usho kanje uJehova, uthi:
“Gcinani ukwahlulela,
nenze ukulunga,
ngokuba insindiso yami iseduze ukuba ifike,
nokulunga kwami ukuba kwambulwe.
2 Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza lokhu,
nendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho,
ogcina isabatha engaloni,
osibamba isandla sakhe
ukuba singenzi nakuphi okubi.”
3 Indodana yowezizwe ezihlanganise noJehova
mayingasho ukuthi:
“Impela uJehova uyakungahlukanisa
nabantu bakhe,”
nomthenwa angathi:
“Bheka, ngingumuthi owomileyo.”
4Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngabathenwa, uthi:
“Abagcina amasabatha ami,
nabakhetha engikuthandayo,
nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami
5 bona ngiyakubanika endlini yami
naphakathi kwezingange zami
isikhumbuzo negama elihle
kunamadodana namadodakazi;
ngiyakubanika igama eliphakade,
elingayikunqunywa.
6Nabezizwe abazihlanganisa noJehova
ukumkhonza uJehova nokulithanda igama likaJehova
ukuba babe yizinceku zakhe
bonke abaligcina isabatha, bangaloni,
nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami,
7 yebo, nabo ngiyakubayisa
entabeni yami engcwele,
ngibathokozise endlini yami yokukhuleka;
iminikelo yabo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo yabo
iyakwamukeleka e-altare lami,
ngokuba indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuthi
indlu yokukhuleka phakathi kwabantu bonke.”
8INkosi uJehova
ebutha abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli ithi:
“Ngisezakubuthela kuye nabanye
ngaphandle kwabase bebuthiwe.”
U-Israyeli wonakele
9Nonke nina zilwane zasendle,
wozani nidle,
nonke nina zilwane zasehlathini.
10Bonke abalindi bayizimpumputhe,
abanakwazi;
bonke bayizinja eziyizimungulu,
abakwazi ukukhonkotha,
balala bephupha,
bathanda ukozela.
11 Yebo, bayizinja ezihahayo,
abakwazi ukusutha;
yebo, laba bangabelusi abangenakuqonda,
baphendukela bonke ezindleleni zabo,
kube yilowo nalowo enzuzweni yakhe,
bonke kanyekanye.
12 Wozani, ngiyakuletha iwayini,
sizakuzigcwalisa ngophuzo olunamandla;
nengomuso liyakuba njenganamuhla,
libe likhulu kakhulu.
