U-Isaya 54:1-17
54 “Memeza ngentokozo wena wesifazana oyinyumba, ongazalanga.+
Thaba umemeze ngenjabulo+ wena ongazange uhelelwe,+Ngoba abantwana balowo* otshiyiweyo banengi kakhuluUkwedlula abantwana bomfazi olendoda,”*+ kutsho uJehova.
2 “Qhelisa indawo yetende lakho ibe banzi kakhulu.+
Yelula amalembu etende lethabanikeli lakho elikhulu.
Ungami, qhubeka uselula intambo zetende lakho,Uqinise lezikhonkwane zalo.+
3 Ngoba uzaqhela uye kwesokudla lakwesenxele.
Abantwabakho bazabusa izizwe,Bazahlala emadolobheni ayesengamanxiwa.+
4 Ungesabi+ ngoba awusoze uyangiswe,+Ungabi lenhloni ngoba awusoze udaniswe.
Uzakukhohlwa ukuyangeka kobutsha bakho,Lehlazo lokuba ngumfelokazi awusoze uphinde ulikhumbule.”
5 “Ngoba uMenzi wakho Omkhulu+ unjengomyeni wakho,*+Ibizo lakhe nguJehova wamabutho,ONgcwele ka-Israyeli unguMhlengi wakho,+
Yena uzabizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.+
6 Lapho uJehova ekubiza wawungathi ungumfazi olahliweyo, ophakathi kosizi,*+Wawunjengomfazi owathathwa esesemncane waphinda waliwa,” kutsho uNkulunkulu wakho.
7 “Ngakutshiya okwesikhatshana,Kodwa ngizakubuyisela ngesihawu esikhulu.+
8 Ngakufihlela ubuso bami okwesikhatshana ngiphuphuma ngolaka,+Kodwa ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe,+ ngoba ngilothando oluqotho olungapheliyo,” kutsho uMhlengi wakho+ uJehova.
9 “Lokhu kunjengasezinsukwini zikaNowa.+
Njengoba nje ngafunga ukuthi amanzi kawasoze aphinde asibekele umhlaba njengasesikhathini sikaNowa,+Ngiyafunga ukuthi angisoze ngiphinde ngikuzondele kumbe ngikusole.+
10 Lanxa izintaba zingasuswa,Lamaqaqa anyikinywe,Uthando lwami oluqotho alusoze lususwe kuwe,+Lesivumelwano sami sokuthula kasisoze sinyikinywe,”+ kutsho uJehova, lowo olesihawu kuwe.+
11 “Awu wena wesifazana ohluphekileyo,+ ophoselwe le lale yisiphepho njalo ongaduduzwanga,+Sengikwakha ngamatshe lesamende esiqinileyo,Sengibeka isisekelo sakho ngamatshe esafire.+
12 Imithangala yakho ngizayenza ngamatshe abomvu aligugu,*Ngenze amagedi akho ngamatshe acazimulayo,Lemingcele yakho yonke ngamatshe aligugu.
13 Bonke abantwabakho bazafundiswa* nguJehova,+Lokuthula kwabantwabakho* kuzakuba kukhulu.+
14 Uzamiswa uqine ekulungeni.+
Ukucindezelwa kuzakuba khatshana lawe,+Awusoze wesabe lutho njalo awusoze ube lesizatho sokwethuka,Ngoba akulalutho olwesabekayo oluzasondela kuwe.+
15 Loba ngubani ozakuhlaselaUyabe engathunywanga yimi.
Loba ngubani ozakuhlasela kasoze aphumelele.”+
16 “Phela yimi engadala umkhandi wensimbi,Ovuthela amalahle omlilo,Alungise isikhali emsebenzini wakhe.
Yimi engadala indoda etshabalalisayo ukuze idilize.+
17 Akulasikhali esilungiselwe ukukuhlasela esizaphumelela,+Loba nguphi umuntu ozama ukukwahlulela uzambeka icala.*
Leli lilifa lezinceku zikaJehova,Lokulunga kwazo kuvela kimi,” kutsho uJehova.+
