U-Isaya 9

1Nokho, ubumnyama abuyikuba njengokucasuka kwayo, lapho eqala ukuhlupha izwe lakwaZebuloni nezwe lakwaNafetali, kamuva walihlupha kakhulu endleleni yolwandle, ngaphesheya kweJordani, eGalile labezizwe.

2Abantu abahamba ebumnyameni babone ukukhanya okukhulu; abahlala ezweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya kubakhanyisele.

3Wandisa isizwe, awukhulisanga intokozo;

4Ngokuba wephulile ijoka lomthwalo wabo nodondolo lwamahlombe abo, nozime lomcindezeli wabo, njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani.

5Ngokuba konke ukulwa kweqhawe kunomsindo ophithizelayo, nezingubo ezigingqelwe egazini; kodwa kuyakuba ngumlilo nezinkuni zomlilo.

6Ngokuba sizalelwe umntwana, siphiwe indodana, nombuso uyakuba sehlombe lakhe, negama lakhe liyakuthiwa oMangalisayo, uMluleki, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uYise ongunaphakade, iNkosi yokuthula.

7Ukwanda kokubusa nokuthula akuyikuphela, esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide naphezu kombuso wakhe, ukuze umiswe futhi uqiniswe ngokulunga nangobulungisa kusukela manje kuze kube phakade. Ukushisekela kukaJehova Sebawoti kuyakukwenza.

8INkosi yathumela izwi kuJakobe, lamkhanyisela u-Israyeli.

9Bonke abantu bayokwazi, okungukuthi u-Efrayimi nabakhileyo eSamariya, abathi ngenhliziyo ezidlayo nenamandla:

10Izitini ziwile, kepha siyakwakha ngamatshe abaziweyo;

11Ngalokho uJehova uyakumvusela abamelene noResini, aqoqele ndawonye izitha zakhe;

12ama-Aramu ngaphambili namaFilisti ngasemuva; futhi bayodla u-Israyeli ngemilomo evulekile. Kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe alubuyanga, kodwa isandla sakhe sisaluliwe.

13Ngokuba abantu abaphendukeli kuye obashayayo, futhi abamfunanga uJehova Sebawoti.

14Ngalokho uJehova uyakunquma kwa-Israyeli ikhanda nomsila, igatsha, nesikela ngalusuku lunye.

15Omdala nohloniphekileyo uyinhloko; nomprofethi ofundisa amanga ungumsila.

16Ngokuba abaholi balaba bantu babayeke baduke; futhi labo abaholwa yibo bayabhujiswa.

17Ngakho iNkosi ayiyikuthokoza ngezinsizwa zabo, ingabahawukeli bona nabafelokazi, ngokuba bonke bangabazenzisi nabenza okubi, nayo yonke imilomo ikhuluma ubuwula. Kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe alubuyanga, kodwa isandla sakhe sisaluliwe.

18Ngokuba ububi buvutha njengomlilo, buqothula ikhakhasi nameva, buthungele ezihlahleni, bukhuphuke njengomusi.

19Ngentukuthelo kaJehova Sebawoti izwe libe mnyama, izizwe zibe njengokudla komlilo; akakho oyakuhawukela umfowabo.

20Futhi uyodwengula ngakwesokunene futhi alambe; uyakudla ngakwesokhohlo, kepha bangasuthi; bayakudla yilowo nalowo inyama yengalo yakhe.

21UManase, uEfrayimi; futhi u-Efrayimi, uManase, futhi bona ndawonye bayomelana noJuda. Kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe alubuyanga, kodwa isandla sakhe sisaluliwe.
