U-Izaya 54

IJerusalema Elisha

1“Memeza ngokujabula wena nyumba,

wena ongazalanga, qhumuka,

umemeze ngokuthokoza,

dazuluka wena ongakaze uhelelwe;

ngokuba abantwana boyisikhwebu baningi

kunabantwana bonendoda,” kusho uSimakade.

2Yenze ibe banzi, indawo yethende lakho;

mabazelule izihenqo zezindlu zenu, ungazibambezeli;

yelula izintambo zakho,

uziqinise izikhonkwane zakho.

3Ngokuba uyakusabalalela ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo;

nabozalo lwakho bayakubusa izizwe,

bakhe imizi echithekileyo.

4“Ungesabi, ngokuba awuyukujabha;

ungapheli amandla,

ngokuba awuyukuthelwa ngehlazo;

uyakukhohlwa yihlazo lobusha bakho,

ungabe usawakhumbula

amahloni obufelokazi bakho.

5Ngokuba uMenzi wakho ungumyeni wakho,

nguSimakade Wamabandla, igama lakhe;

oNgcwele ka-Israyeli onguMhlengi wakho,

obizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.

6USimakade ukubizile njengomfazi oshiyiweyo

nodabukileyo emoyeni;

umfazi wobusha ukhona olahliweyo.”

kusho uNkulunkulu wakho.

7“Ngakushiya okwesikhashana,

kodwa ngomusa omkhulu ngizokuqoqa.

8Ngentukuthelo echichimayo,

ngabusitheza ubuso bami kuwe isikhashana,

kepha ngesihawu esingapheliyo, ngiyokuhawukela,”

kusho uSimakade uMhlengi wakho.

9“Lokho kimi kufana namanzi

ezinsukwini zikaNowa:

njengalokho ngafunga

ukuthi amanzi kaNowa

awasayukubuye awemboze umhlaba,

kanjalo sengifungile

ukuthi ngeke ngisakuthukuthelela,

futhi ngeke ngikusole.

10Yebo, izintaba zingasuswa,

namagquma azanyazanyiswe,

kodwa umusa wami awuyukusuka kuwe,

nesivumelwano sami sokuthula asiyukususwa,”

kusho uSimakade okuhawukelayo.

11“Wena ohluphekayo,

ohlukunyeziwe, ongaduduzwanga,

bheka, ngizokufaka amatshe esiliva,

izisekelo zakho zibe ngamasafire.

12Imibhoshongo yakho ngiyoyenza ngamarubhi,

amasango akho ngekhristalo,

nayo yonke imingcele yakho

ibe ngamatshe ayigugu.

13Bonke abantwana bakho bayakufundiswa nguSimakade,

kube nokuthula okukhulu kubantwana bakho.

14Uyakumiswa ngokulunga;

ube kude nokucindezelwa,

ngokuba awuyukwesaba,

novalo luyoba kude nawe.

15Uma kukhona okuqalayo,

kuyobe kungaveli kimi lokho;

noma ngubani okuqalayo

uyakuwa ngenxa yakho.

16“Mina ngidale umkhandi

ovuthela amalahle emlilweni,

akhiqize izikhali ezilungele umsebenzi wakhe;

Mina ngidalile futhi umbhubhisi,

ukuba abhubhise.

17Asikho isikhali esenzelwa wena esiyakuphumelela;

uyakumisa lonke ulimi olukuvukelayo ekwehlulelweni;

lokhu kuyifa lezinceku zikaSimakade

nokumelwa kwazo okuvela kimi,”

kusho uSimakade.
