U-Isaya
60 “Vuka wena wesifazana;+ khanyisa ngoba ukukhanya kwakho sekufikile.
Inkazimulo kaJehova isikhanya kuwe.+
2 Ngoba ubumnyama buzagubuzela umhlaba,
Umnyama wempisi ugubuzele izizwe,
Kodwa uJehova uzakhanya phezu kwakho,
Inkazimulo yakhe izabonakala kuwe.
4 Vusa amehlo akho ukhangele kuyo yonke indawo eduze kwakho.
Bonke sebebuthanisiwe, sebesiza kuwe.
5 Ngalesosikhathi uzakubona lokhu ujabule,+
Inhliziyo yakho ichelese iphuphume ngentokozo,
Ngoba inotho yaselwandle izalethwa kuwe,
Lempahla yezizwe izabuya kuwe.+
6 Elizweni lakho kuzagcwala imihlambi yamakamela,
Amakamela alamandla avela eMidiyani lase-Efa.+
Bonke abantu abavela eShebha bazabuya,
Bazabuya bethwele igolide kanye lenhlaka yokwenza impepha.
Bazamemezela izindumiso zikaJehova.+
7 Yonke imihlambi yaseKhedari+ izabuthelwa kuwe.
Inqama zaseNebhayothi+ zizakusiza.
Zizabuya e-alithareni lami zamukelwe ngazo zombili,+
Ngizakwenza indlu yami ekhazimulayo ibenhle kakhulu.+
8 Ngobani laba abeza begijima njengamayezi,
Abaphapha njengamajuba aya ezidlekeni zawo?
9 Izihlenge zizathembela kimi,+
Imikhumbi yeThashishi iyakhokhela,
Izoletha abantwabakho abavela khatshana,+
Baphethe isiliva legolide labo
Ukuze bazodumisa ibizo likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,
10 Abantu bezinye izizwe bazakwakha imiduli yakho,
Amakhosi abo azakusebenzela.+
Lanxa ngakutshaya ngithukuthele,
Ngomusa wami ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe.+
11 Amagedi akho azahlala evuliwe kokuphela;+
Kawasoze avalwe emini lebusuku,
Ukuze kulethwe kuwe impahla evela ezizweni,
Njalo amakhosi azo azakhokhela phambili.+
12 Loba yisiphi isizwe, loba yiwuphi umbuso ongasoze ukusebenzele uzatshabalala,
Lezozizwe zizabhujiswa ziphele nya.+
13 Inkazimulo yaseLebhanoni izafika kuwe,+
Isihlahla somjunipha lesom-ashi lesomsayiphresi zizabuya zindawonye,+
Ukuze zenze indawo yami engcwele ibenhle,
Ngizayikhazimulisa indawo yezinyawo zami.+
14 Abantwana balabo ababekuhlukuluza bazabuya bakhothame phambi kwakho,
Bonke ababekudelela kumele bazokhothama enyaweni zakho,
Kuzamele bakubize ngokuthi ulidolobho likaJehova,
IZiyoni yoNgcwele ka-Israyeli.+
15 Lanxa ubudeliwe futhi uzondwa, kungelamuntu obedabula phakathi kwakho,+
Ngizakwenza ube yilokho abantu abazaziqhenya ngakho kuze kube nini lanini,
Ube yisizatho sokuthokoza kuzo zonke izizukulwane.+
16 Uzalunatha sibili uchago lwezizwe,+
Umunye ebeleni lamakhosi,+
Uzakwazi mhlophe ukuthi mina Jehova nginguMsindisi wakho,
Lokuthi uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe olamandla unguMhlengi wakho.+
17 Esikhundleni sekhopha ngizaletha igolide,
Esikhundleni sensimbi ngilethe isiliva,
Esikhundleni sesigodo ngizaletha ikhopha,
Esikhundleni samatshe ngilethe insimbi,
Ngizabeka ukuthula kube ngababonisi bakho,
Ngibeke ukulunga kube ngofolomane bakho.+
18 Udlakela alusoze luphinde luzwakale elizweni lakho,
Lasemingceleni yakho akusoze kuphinde kube lokutshabalalisa lokubhidliza.+
Imiduli yakho uzayibiza ngokuthi yiNsindiso,+ amagedi akho uwabize ngokuthi yiNdumiso.
19 Ilanga alisoze liphinde likukhanyisele emini,
Lokukhazimula kwenyanga akusoze kukukhanyisele,
Ngoba uJehova uzakuba yikukhanya okungapheliyo kuwe,+
UNkulunkulu wakho uzakuba yibuhle bakho.+
20 Ilanga lakho kalisoze liphinde litshone,
Lenyanga yakho kayisoze ifiphale,
Ngoba uJehova uzakuba yikukhanya okungapheliyo kuwe,+
Izinsuku zokulila kwakho zizabe seziphelile.+
21 Bonke abantu bakho bazakuba ngabalungileyo,
Ilizwe lizakuba ngelabo kuze kube nini lanini.
Mina Jehova ngizakuphangisisa lokhu ngesikhathi sakho.”
