U-Isaya 66
1Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, nomhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami. Iphi indlu oNgakhela yona? iphi indawo yami yokuphumula na?
2Ngokuba zonke lezi zinto zenziwe yisandla sami, futhi zonke lezi zinto zenzekile, kusho uJehova; kepha lo ngiyakumbheka ompofu nobuthakathaka emoyeni, othuthumela ngezwi lami.
3Ohlaba inkomo unjengobulala umuntu; onikela ngewundlu unjengonquma intamo yenja; onikela ngomnikelo wempuphu unjengonikela ngegazi lezingulube; onyusa impepho njengobusisa isithombe. Yebo, bazikhethele izindlela zabo, futhi umphefumulo wabo ujabulela izinengiso zabo.
4Futhi ngiyokhetha iziphambeko zabo ngehlisele phezu kwabo usizi lwabo; ngokuba lapho ngibiza, akwaphendula muntu; lapho ngikhuluma, abalalelanga, kodwa benza okubi emehlweni ami, bakhetha lokho engingathokozi ngakho.
5Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina enithuthumela ngezwi lakhe! Abafowenu abanizondayo, abanixosha ngenxa yegama lami, bathi: “Makadunyiswe uJehova, kepha uyakubonakala ngokujabula kwenu, bajabhe.
6Yizwi lomsindo elivela emzini, yizwi elivela ethempelini, izwi likaJehova ephindisela ezitheni zakhe.
7Ngaphambi kokuba abelethe, wabeletha; zingakafiki ubuhlungu wabeletha umntwana wesilisa.
8Ngubani oke wezwa into enje? Ubani owabona izinto ezinjalo? Ingabe ngolunye usuku umhlaba uyoveza? kumbe isizwe sizazalwa masinyane? ngoba lapho nje iSiyoni selizala, lizala abantwana balo.
9Ngibelethe ngingazali na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Ngiyakwenza ukuba isisu sikanina sizale, ngisivale na? usho uNkulunkulu wakho.
10Thokozani kanye neJerusalema, nithokoze kanye nalo, nina nonke enilithandayo; jabulani kanye nalo, nonke abalilelayo.
11Ukuze nincele, nisuthe emabeleni enduduzo yalo; ukuze nisenge, nithokoze ngokuchichima kwenkazimulo yalo.
12Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakulinika ukuthula njengomfula, nenkazimulo yabezizwe njengomfula ogobhozayo; khona-ke uyakuncela, uthwalwe emaceleni akhe, uphonseke emadolweni akhe.
13Njengoduduza unina, kanjalo ngiyakuniduduza; futhi niyoduduzwa eJerusalema.
14Lapho ubona, inhliziyo yakho iyojabula, namathambo akho ayoqhakaza njengesitshalo; futhi isandla sikaJehova sizokwaziwa ezincekwini zakhe nolaka lwakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.
15Ngokuba bhekani, uJehova uyakuza ngomlilo nezinqola zakhe njengesivunguvungu, ukuze abekezelele ulaka lwakhe ngolaka nokusola kwakhe ngamalangabi omlilo.
16Ngoba ngomlilo nangenkemba yakhe uJehova uyolwa nayo yonke inyama, futhi labo abanqotshwa uJehova bayoba baningi.
17Labo abazingcwelisayo, bazihlambulule ezivandeni emva kwesihlahla esiphakathi, badle ingulube, nesinengiso, negundane, bayakuqedwa kanyekanye,” usho uJehova.
18Ngokuba ngiyazazi izenzo zabo nemicabango yabo; kuyofika lapho ngiyobutha zonke izizwe nezilimi; futhi bazakuza babone inkazimulo yami.
19Ngiyakwenza isibonakaliso phakathi kwabo, ngibathume abaphunyukileyo kubo ezizweni, eTharishishi, nasePhuli, naseLudi, abansala umnsalo, eThubali naseJavani, eziqhingini ezikude, ezingazange zibe khona. Wezwa amahemuhemu ami, akabonanga inkazimulo yami; bayakumemezela inkazimulo yami phakathi kwezizwe.
20Bayakuletha bonke abafowenu kube ngumhlatshelo kuJehova bevela ezizweni zonke begibele amahhashi, nangezinqola, nangezikebhe, naphezu kweminyuzi, nangezilwane ezinejubane, entabeni yami engcwele eJerusalema,” usho uJehova, “njengalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli beletha. “Umnikelo ngesitsha esihlambulukileyo endlini kaJehova.
21Futhi ngizothatha kubo babe ngabapristi namaLevi,” kusho uJehova.
22Ngokuba njengalokhu izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha engiyakuwenza kuyakuma phambi kwami, usho uJehova, kanjalo kuyakuma inzalo yenu negama lenu.
23Kusukela ekwethwaseni kwenyanga kuye kwenye, kusukela kwelinye isabatha kuye kwelinye, yonke inyama iyakuza ukukhuleka phambi kwami,” usho uJehova.
24Bayakuphuma babone izidumbu zamadoda aphambuke kimi; ngoba impethu yabo kayiyikufa, lomlilo wabo kawuyikucitsha; bayakuba yisinengiso kuyo yonke inyama.
