U-Isaya 53:1-12
53 Ngubani osekukholiwe lokho abakuzwa ngathi?*+
Ngubani osevezelwe+ ingalo kaJehova?+
2 Uzahluma njengogatsha+ phambi kwakhe,* lanjengempande elizweni elomileyo.
Kamangalisi njalo ubuhle bakhe abukhanyi,+Lanxa simbona, indlela akhangeleka ngayo ayisisondezi kuye.
3 Weyiswa waninelwa khatshana ngabantu,+
Waba ngumuntu obaziyo ubuhlungu, wajayelana lokugula.
Kwakungani sibufihlelwe ubuso bakhe.*
Weyiswa futhi samphatha njengento engelancedo.+
4 Yena ngokwakhe wakuthwala sibili ukugula kwethu,+Wathwala lobuhlungu bethu.+
Kodwa thina samthatha njengomuntu ojezisiweyo,* ohluphekileyo njalo otshaywe nguNkulunkulu.
5 Wagwazwa+ ngenxa yesiphambeko sethu,+Wahlupheka kabuhlungu ngenxa yamacala ethu.+
Wavuma ukujeziswa* ukuze sibe lokuthula,+Sasiliswa ngenxa yamanxeba akhe.+
6 Sonke sihlanhlathile njengezimvu ezilahlekileyo,+Umuntu ngamunye uphambukile wangena eyakhe indlela,Kodwa uJehova uthethe icala lethu sonke wamethesa lona.+
7 Wacindezelwa+ njalo wavuma ukuhlutshwa,+Kodwa kazange awuvule umlomo wakhe.
Walethwa njengemvu esisiyahlatshwa.+Wayenjengemvukazi ethuleyo phambi kwalabo abayigela uboya,Kazange awuvule umlomo wakhe.+
8 Wathathwa* ngenxa yokucindezelwa lokwahlulelwa kubi,Ngubani ozazihlupha ngezinto ezimayelana lesizukulwane sakhe?*
Watshaywa* ngenxa yesiphambeko sabantu bami,+Wasuswa elizweni labaphilayo.+
9 Waphiwa indawo yokungcwatshwa kanye labaxhwalileyo,+Ekufeni kwakhe wangcwatshwa lezinothi*+Lanxa kwakungelalutho olubi alwenzileyo,*Njalo kungazange kube lobuqili emlonyeni wakhe.+
10 Kodwa kwakuyikuthanda kukaJehova* ukumchoboza lokumvumela ukuthi agule.
Nxa unganikela ukuphila kwakhe kube ngumnikelo wecala,+Yena uzababona abantwabakhe* futhi andise izinsuku zakhe.+Ngaye intando kaJehova izaphumelela.*+
11 Ngemva kokuhlupheka kabuhlungu, uzabona akwenzileyo asuthiseke.
Inceku yami elungileyo izasebenzisa ulwazi lwayo,+Ukuze incede abanengi ukuthi babe ngabalungileyo+Njalo izathwala amacala abo.+
12 Ngenxa yalokho ngizayinika isabelo phakathi kwabanengi,Izakwabelana labalamandla impahla ethunjiweyo,Ngoba yanikela ngempilo yayo,*+Yabalwa ndawonye lezoni,+Yathwala isono sabantu abanengi,+Yancengela abantu abayizoni.+
