Isaya 48:1-22
48 Lalela lapha wenandlu yaJakobe,Wena lotibita ngekutsi ungu-Israyeli+Wena lochamuka emtfonjeni wakaJuda*Wena lofunga ngelibito laJehova,+Wena lobita Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli,Ngisho nome loko ungakwenti ngeliciniso nangekulunga.+
2 Ngobe batibita ngelidolobha lelingcwele+Futsi bafuna lusito lwaNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli,+Libito lakhe lelinguJehova wemabutfo.
3 “Nganitjela kadzeni tintfo letendlulile.*
Taphuma emlonyeni wami,Futsi nganitjela tona.+
Ngatsatsa sinyatselo ngekushesha futsi tenteka.+
4 Ngobe bengati kutsi unenkhani kangakananiBengati kutsi intsamo yakho ingumsipha wensimbi futsi libunti lakho lilitfusi,+
5 Ngakutjela kadzeni.
Ngakutjela kusengakenteki,Kuze ungakhulumi utsi: ‘Loku kwentiwa sithico sami;Sithico sami lesibatiwe nesithico sami sensimbi* ngito letatsi akwenteke loko.’
6 Ukuvile konkhe loku futsi wakubona.
Angeke yini ukumemetele?+
Kusukela nyalo kuchubeke, ngimemetela tintfo letinsha kuwe,+Timfihlo lebewungatati.
7 Tisadalwa nanyalo futsi atidalwanga kadzeni,Tintfo leningakaze nitive kuze kube ngulamuhla,Kuze ningasho nitsi: ‘Besengivele ngitati.’
8 Cha, awukaze utive letintfo+ futsi awutati,Futsi esikhatsini lesendlulile tindlebe takho betivalekile.
Ngobe ngiyati kutsi awuketsembeki,+Futsi bekusolo kutsiwa usoni kusukela watalwa.+
9 Kodvwa ngenca yelibito lami, ngitayibamba intfukutselo yami;+Kuze ngidvunyiswe, ngitatibamba nginganenti lutfoFutsi angeke nginicotfule.+
10 Ngikucwengile, kodvwa hhayi ngendlela lisiliva lelicwengwa ngayo.+
Ngikuvivinye* embawuleni lencibilikisako yetinhlupheko.+
11 Noma kanjani ngitawutsatsa sinyatselo ngenca yelibito lami,+Ngobe ngingakuvumela kanjani kutsi ngihlanjalatwe?+
Kute lengimnika inkhatimulo yami.*
12 Lalela wena Jakobe, wena Israyeli, lengikubitile.
Mine angishintji.+ Ngiwekucala futsi ngiwekugcina.+
13 Sandla sami lucobo lwaso lesabeka sisekelo semhlaba,+Futsi sandla sami sangesekudla sawendlala emazulu.+
Nangiwamemeta, ayasukuma kanye kanye.
14 Butsanani ndzawonye nonkhe nilalele.
Ngubani emkhatsini wabo lomemetele letintfo?
Jehova umtsandzile.+
Uyawukwenta loko Nkulunkulu latsandza kukwenta lokumelene neBhabhulona,+Futsi sandla sakhe siyawumelana nemaKhaledi.+
15 Mine lucobo lwami ngikhulumile futsi ngimbitile.+
Ngimletsile futsi indlela yakhe iyawuphumelela.+
16 Sondzela lapha kimi, ulalele naku.
Kusukela ekucaleni angikafihli lutfo.+
Ngesikhatsi kwenteka bengikhona.”
Nyalo iNkhosi Lephakeme Jehova, ingitfumile kanye nemoya wayo.
17 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova, uMhlengi wakho, Longcwele waka-Israyeli:+
“Mine Jehova, nginguNkulunkulu wakho,Loyo lokufundzisako kuze uzuze,*+Loyo lokucondzisa endleleni lokufanele uhambe ngayo.+
18 Kube mane bewungayilalela imiyalo yami!+
Kuthula kwakho bekutawufana nemfula+Nekulunga kwakho kufane nemagagasi elwandle.+
19 Bantfwana* bakho bayawuba banyenti ngangesihlabatsiNentalelwane yakho ibe ngangaso.+
Ligama laso litawuhlala likhona futsi angeke libhujiswe embikwami.”
20 Phumani eBhabhulona!+
Balekelani emaKhaledi!
Kumemeteleni ngenjabulo lenkhulu! Kumemeteleni!+
Kumemeteleni emikhawulweni yemhlaba.+
Tsanini: “Jehova uyihlengile inceku yakhe Jakobe.+
21 Abazange bome ngesikhatsi abahola etindzaweni letonakele.+
Wabangela kutsi emanti abo aphume edvwaleni;Washaya lidvwala, kwaphuma emanti lamanyenti.”+
22 Jehova utsi: “Kute kuthula kulababi.”+
