U-Isaya 1
Isizwe sangesonto
1Umbono ka-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, awubonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda.
2Yizwani, mazulu, uzwe, wena mhlaba, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile, wathi: “Ngondlile ngakhulisa abantwana, kodwa bangihlubukile.
3Inkabi iyamazi umniniyo, nembongolo iyamazi umkhombe womnumzane wayo, kepha u-Israyeli akazi, abantu bami abalaleli.
4O sizwe esonayo, abantu abasindwa ngobubi, sizukulwane sabenzi bokubi, bantwana abonakele; bamshiyile uJehova, bamklolodela oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, bahlehla nyovane.
5Usalokhu ushaywa ngani? niyakudlubulunda ngokwandayo; lonke ikhanda liyagula, nenhliziyo yonke ibuthakathaka.
6Kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kufike ekhanda akukho muntu ophilayo kuwo; kodwa imivimbo nemivimbo namathumba abolayo;
7Izwe lakini liyincithakalo, imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo; izwe lenu abafokazi bayalidla phambi kwenu, liyincithakalo njengokuchithwa kwabafokazi.
8Indodakazi yaseSiyoni yashiywa njengendlwana esivinini, njengombhede ensimini yamakhukhamba, njengomuzi ovinjezelwe.
9Ukube uJehova Sebawoti ubengasishiyelanga insali encane, ngabe sifana neSodoma, sifana neGomora.
10Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina baphathi baseSodoma! lalelani umthetho kaNkulunkulu wethu, bantu baseGomora!
11Buyini ubuningi bemihlatshelo yenu kimi na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Ngigcwele iminikelo yokushiswa yezinqama namanoni ezinkomo ezikhuluphalisiweyo; futhi angithokozi ngegazi lezinkunzi nelewundlu noma lezimbuzi.
12Uma niza ukubonakala phambi kwami, ngubani okufunileyo lokhu ukuba ningene emagcekeni ami na?
13Ningabe nisaletha izipho eziyize; izithako ziyisinengiso kimi; ukwethwasa kwenyanga namasabatha, ukubiza imibuthano, anginakukuqeda; kungububi, ngitsho umkhosi.
14Ukwethwasa kwezinyanga zenu nemikhosi yenu kuyawuzonda umphefumulo wami; kulusizi kimi; Sengikhathele ukuwagqoka.
15Uma nelula izandla zenu, ngiyakuwafihla amehlo ami kini; yebo, uma nikhuleka kakhulu, angiyikuzwa; izandla zakho zigcwele igazi.
16Gezani, nihlanzeke; susani ububi bezenzo zenu phambi kwamehlo ami; yekani ukwenza okubi;
17Fundani ukwenza okuhle; funani ukwahlulelwa, nisize abacindezelweyo, yahluleleni intandane, nimele umfelokazi.
18Wozani manje siyilungise indaba, usho uJehova; noma izono zenu zibomvu kakhulu, ziyakuba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu njengokubomvu, ziyakuba njengoboya bezimvu.
19Uma nivuma, nilalela, niyakudla okuhle kwezwe;
20Kepha uma nala, nihlubuka, niyakuqedwa ngenkemba, ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.
21Yeka ukuthi umuzi othembekile usuphenduke kanjani isifebe! laligcwele ukwahlulela; ukulunga kwahlala khona; kodwa manje bangababulali.
22Isiliva lakho seliyigwebu, iwayini lakho lixutshwe namanzi;
23Izikhulu zakho ziyizihlubuki nabangane bamasela; wonke umuntu uthanda izipho futhi ujaha imivuzo; abahluleli izintandane, necala lomfelokazi alifiki kubo.
24Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uJehova Sebawoti, uMninimandla ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngiyakuzikhulula ezitheni zami, ngiziphindiselele ezitheni zami.
25Futhi ngiyobuyisela isandla sami phezu kwakho futhi ngigeze amabibi akho ngisuse wonke amathini akho.
26Ngiyakubuyisela abahluleli bakho njengasekuqaleni, nabeluleki bakho njengasekuqaleni; emva kwalokho uyakubizwa ngokuthi: Umuzi wokulunga, umuzi othembekileyo.
27IZiyoni lizahlengwa ngokulunga, labaphendukayo balo ngokulunga.
28Ukubhujiswa kwabaphambukayo nezoni kuyakuba kanyekanye, nabamshiyayo uJehova baphele.
29Ngoba bazakuba lenhloni ngezihlahla ze-okhi enizifisayo, njalo lizakuba lenhloni ngezivande enizikhethileyo.
30Ngoba lizakuba njengesihlahla se-okhi esibuna amahlamvu awo, lanjengensimu engelamanzi.
31Onamandla uyakuba njengentambo nomenzi wakho njengenhlansi, zivuthe zombili kanyekanye, kungabikho ocimayo.
