Isaiah 53

1 Ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu, njalo amandla kaJehova abonakaliswe kubani na?

2 Wakhula phambi kwakhe njengehlumela, lanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo. Wayengelabuhle lobukhosi ukuba asikhange, kungelalutho esimeni sakhe olungenza simfune.

3 Weyiswa njalo waliwa ngabantu, umuntu wezinsizi, njalo ekujayele ukuhlupheka. Lowo abantu abangafuniyo ukukhangelana laye. Weyiswa, asimhloniphanga.

4 Ngempela wathatha ubucubi bethu wathwala izinsizi zethu, kodwa thina sathi utshaywe nguNkulunkulu, ebethwe nguye, njalo uhlutshiwe.

5 Kodwa wagwazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, wachobozwa ngenxa yokona kwethu, ukuhlutshwa kwakhe kwasilethela ukuthula, njalo sasiliswa ngamanxeba akhe.

6 Thina sonke njengezimvu, silahlekile, lowo lalowo wethu uphambukele endleleni yakhe; njalo uJehova ubeke phezu kwakhe ukona kwethu sonke.

7 Wacindezelwa wahlutshwa, kodwa kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe; wakhokhelwa ukuya bulawa njengewundlu, njalo njengemvu ithule phambi komgundi wayo, laye kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe.

8 Ngokucindezelwa langokwahlulela wathathwa. Ngubani ongakhuluma ngesizukulwane sakhe na? Ngoba wasuswa elizweni labaphilayo; watshaywa ngenxa yeziphambeko zabantu bami.

9 Wabelwa ingcwaba kanye lababi, kanye labanothileyo ekufeni kwakhe, lanxa kungeladlakela alwenzayo njalo kungekho inkohliso emlonyeni wakhe.

10 Ikanti kwakuyintando kaJehova ukumchoboza lokumenza ahlupheke, njalo lanxa uJehova esenza ukuphila kwakhe umnikelo wecala, uzabona inzalo yakhe, andise izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe, lentando kaJehova izaphumelela ngaye.

11 Emva kokuhlupheka komoya wakhe, uzabona ukukhanya kokuphila asuthiseke; ngokwazi kwayo inceku yami elungileyo izalungisa abanengi, ithwale izono zabo.

12 Ngakho-ke ngizamnika isabelo phakathi kwabakhulu, njalo uzakwabelana impango labalamandla ngoba wanikela ukuphila kwakhe ekufeni, wabalwa ndawonye lezoni; ngoba wathwala izono zabanengi, wancengela izoni.
