U-Isaya 9:1-7

Kepha ukuhwelela akuyikuba khona kohluphekayo. Njengesikhathi esidlule senza ukuba kufiliswe izwe lakwaZebuloni nezwe lakwaNafetali, isikhathi esizayo siyakwenza ukuba ikhazimule indlela yolwandle ngaphesheya kweJordani, isifunda sabezizwe. Abantu abahamba ebumnyameni babona ukukhanya okukhulu; abahlezi ezweni lethunzi lokufa ukukhanya kuyabakhanyisela. Uyakwandisa isizwe, ukhulise intokozo yaso; bathokoza phambi kwakho njengokuthokoza ekuvuneni, njengalokhu abantu bethokoza ekwabeleni kwabo impango. Ngokuba ijoka lomthwalo wabo, nenduku yamahlombe abo, noswazi lomhluphi wabo uyakwaphula njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani. Ngokuba zonke izicathulo ezifakiweyo esiyaluyalwini sokulwa nezingubo ezigingqwe egazini ziyakuba ngezokushiswa, zidliwe ngumlilo. Ngokuba sizalelwa umntwana, siphiwa indodana; umbuso uyakuba semahlombe akhe, negama lakhe liyakuthiwa uMluleki omangalisayo, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uYise ongunaphakade, iNkosi yokuthula. Umbuso uyakuba mkhulu, ukuthula kungabi nakuphela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide nasembusweni wakhe, ukuze uqiniswe, usekelwe ngokwahlulela nangokulunga, kusukela manje kuze kube phakade. Ukushisekela kukaJehova Sebawoti kuyakwenza lokhu.
