‏ Isaiah 66

INkosi izagweba izizwe; izabusisa iZiyoni

1Itsho njalo iNkosi: Amazulu ayisihlalo sami sobukhosi a, lomhlaba uyisenabelo senyawo zami b. Ingaphi leyondlu elizangakhela yona? Njalo ingaphi indawo yami yokuphumula? 2Ngoba zonke lezizinto isandla sami sazenza c, lazo zonke lezizinto zikhona, itsho iNkosi. Kodwa kulowo ngizakhangela d, kulowo ongumyanga lolomoya odabukileyo e, lothuthumela ngelizwi lami f.

3Ohlaba inkabi unjengobulala umuntu g; onikela umhlatshelo ngewundlu unjengowephula h intamo yenja i; onikela umnikelo wokudla unjengonikela igazi lengulube; otshisa impepha yesikhumbuzo unjengobusisa isithombe. Yebo, bona bakhethile izindlela zabo j, lomphefumulo wabo uthokoza ngezinengiso zabo. 4Lami ngizakhetha izigcono zabo k, ngibehlisele abakwesabayo; ngoba ngabiza, akwaphendula muntu l; ngakhuluma, akwalalela muntu m; kodwa benza okubi emehlweni ami n, bakhetha lokho engingathokozanga ngakho o. 5Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina elithuthumela ngelizwi layo p. Abafowenu abalizondayo q, abalixotsha ngenxa yebizo lami r, bathi: Kayidunyiswe iNkosi s; khona sizabona t intokozo yenu u; bona-ke bazayangeka. 6Ilizwi lomsindo elivela emzini v, ilizwi elivela ethempelini, ilizwi leNkosi elibuyisela izinzuzo ezitheni zayo.

7Ingakahelelwa w, yazala; kungakafiki ubuhlungu x bayo, yabeletha owesilisa. 8Ngubani owake wezwa okunje? Ngubani owake wabona izinto ezinje? Umhlaba uzakwenziwa uzale yini ngosuku olulodwa? Kumbe isizwe singabelethwa yini ngesikhathi sinye? Ngoba iZiyoni ithe ihelelwa, yazala abantwana bayo. 9Mina ngizasondeza ekuzalweni, ngingazalisi yini? itsho iNkosi. Ngizazalisa, besengivala yini y , z? utsho uNkulunkulu wakho.
