U-Isaya 61:1-11
61 Umoya weNkosi Enkulu uJehova uphezu kwami,+Ngoba uJehova ungigcobile ukuthi ngitshumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabamnene.+
Ungithume ukuthi ngibophe inhliziyo zabadabukileyo,Ngimemezele ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo,Lokuvulwa kwamehlo ezibotshwa.+
2 Ukuthi ngimemezele umnyaka womusa kaJehova,Losuku lokuphindisela kukaNkulunkulu wethu,+Ngiduduze bonke abalilayo,+
3 Lokuthi ngincede labo abakhalela iZiyoni,Ngibanike iqhiye yentokozo esikhundleni somlotha,Ngibaphe lamafutha enjabulo esikhundleni sokulila,Lesigqoko sokudumisa esikhundleni sokudana.
Bazabizwa ngokuthi bayizihlahla ezinkulu zokulunga,Izihlahla ezihlanyelwe nguJehova ukuze akhazinyuliswe.+
4 Bazakwakha kutsha amanxiwa akudala,Bavuse izindawo zakudala ezasezidilikile.+Bazavuselela amadolobho ayedilikile,+Izindawo ezasezingamanxiwa okweminyaka eminengi.+
5 “Abemzini bazasukuma beluse imihlambi yenu,Abezinye izizwe+ bazakuba ngabalimi benu, basebenze lasemasimini enu amagilebisi.+
6 Kodwa lina lizabizwa ngokuthi lingabaphristi bakaJehova,+Bazalibiza ngokuthi lizinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu.
Lizakudla impahla yezinye izizwe,+Liziqhenye ngenkazimulo* yazo.
7 Kulokuthi libe lehlazo lizathola isabelo esiphindwe kabili.
Kulokuthi babe lenhloni bazamemeza ngentokozo ngenxa yesabelo sabo.
Bazasithola sibili isabelo esiphindwe kabili elizweni labo.+
Intokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngeyabo,+
8 Ngoba mina Jehova ngithanda ukwahlulela kuhle,+Ngiyabuzonda ubugebenga lakho konke okungalunganga.+
Ngizabanika umvuzo wabo* ngoba ngithembekile,Ngizakwenza labo isivumelwano esingapheliyo.+
9 Abantwababo bazakwaziwa* phakathi kwezizwe+Lezizukulwane zabo zaziwe phakathi kwabantu.
Bonke abababonayo bazananzelelaUkuthi bangabantwana ababusiswe* nguJehova.”+
10 Ngizathokoza kakhulu ngoJehova.
Umphefumulo wami uzajabula* ngoNkulunkulu wami,+
Ngoba usengigqokise izigqoko zensindiso.+Usengigoqele ngejazi* lokulunga,Njengomyeni ogqoke iqhiye enjengeyomphristi,+Lanjengomakoti ogqoke imiceciso yakhe.
11 Njengoba nje umhlabathi usenza ukuthi izinto zihlume,Lengadi isenza okuhlanyelwe kuyo kuhlume,INkosi Enkulu uJehovaLayo izakwenza ukulunga+ lokudumisa kuhlume+ phambi kwazo zonke izizwe.
