U-Isaya
55 Wozani lina lonke elomileyo,+ wozani emanzini.+
Lina elingelamali wozani lizothenga lidle.
Wozani sibili lithenge iwayini lochago+ lingakhiphanga mali loba imbadalo.+
2 Kungani liqhubeka likhipha imali lithenga lokho okungasikudla?*
Kungani liqedela iholo lenu* entweni engasuthisiyo?
3 Thiyani indlebe libuye kimi.+
Lalelani liqhubeke liphila.
Ngizakwenza isivumelwano esingapheliyo lani,+
Esimayelana lothando oluqotho engalutshengisa uDavida, futhi sona sithembekile.+
5 Uzabiza isizwe ongasaziyo,
Labantu besizwe ebesingakwazi bazagijimela kuwe,
Ngenxa kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho,+ oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,
Ngoba uzakupha udumo.+
6 Dingani uJehova esatholakala.+
Mbizeni eseseduze.+
7 Owenza okubi katshiye indlela yakhe,+
Loxhwalileyo atshiye imicabango yakhe,
Kabuyele kuJehova, yena uzakuba lesihawu kuye,+
Abuyele kuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba uzamthethelela ngendlela enkulu.*+
8 “Imicabango yami kayifanani leyenu,+
Lezindlela zami zitshiyene lezenu,” kutsho uJehova.
9 “Njengoba amazulu ephakeme kulomhlaba,
Izindlela zami ziphakeme kulezenu,
Lemicabango yami iphakeme kuleyenu.+
10 Njengoba nje izulu longqwaqwane okwehla kuvela phezulu
Kungabuyeli kungazange kuwumanzise umhlaba, kwawenza wahluma futhi wathela,
Kwanika lomhlanyeli inhlanyelo kanye lokudla kulowo odlayo,
Kalisoze liphenduke kimi lingafezanga lutho,+
Kodwa lizakwenza loba yini engiyifunayo.*+
Loba sekutheni, ilizwi lami lizaphumelela kulokho engilithuma ukuthi likwenze.
Izintaba lamaqaqa kuzajabula phambi kwenu, kumemeze ngentokozo,+
Zonke izihlahla zeganga zizaqakeza izandla.+
13 Endaweni yezihlahla zameva kuzamila isihlahla somjunipha,+
Lalapho obekulokhula oluhlabayo kuzamila isihlahla sommethile.
Lokhu kuzakwenza uJehova athole udumo,+
Kube yisibonakaliso saphakade esingasoze sitshabalale.”
