Isaiah 32

Umbuso Wokulunga

1 Khangelani, inkosi izabusa ngokulunga lababusi bazabusa ngemfanelo.

2 Umuntu ngamunye uzakuba njengesihonqo sokuvikela umoya, lesiphephelo sokucatshela isiphepho, njengomthunzi wedwala elikhulu elizweni elomileyo.

3 Lapho-ke amehlo alabo ababonayo kawasayikuvaleka, lezindlebe zalabo abezwayo zizalalela.

4 Ingqondo yowalazelayo izakwazi, iqedisise, ogagasayo ulimi lwakhe luzatshwaphuluka luzwakale kuhle.

5 Isithutha kasisayikuthiwa ngumhlonitshwa, lesigangi kasiyikuhlonitshwa.

6 Ngoba isithutha sikhuluma ubuwula, ingqondo yaso isebenza ububi: Senza imisebenzi yenkohlakalo, siqambe amanga ngoJehova; abalambayo kasibaniki lutho, abomileyo sibancitsha amanzi okunatha.

7 Izindlela zesigangi zimbi, senza amacebo amabi ukuba sichithe abayanga ngamanga, lanxa isikhalazo sabaswelayo siqotho.

8 Kodwa umuntu ohloniphekayo wenza amacebo ahloniphekayo, njalo uma ngezenzo ezihloniphekayo.
