Isaya 27

₁Ngalelo langa Simakadze uyawujezisa

ngenkemba yakhe leyesabekako,

lenkhulu nalenemandla lamakhulu,

uyawujezisa Leviyathani, inyoka lenyelelako,

yebo, Leviyathani, inyoka letibutsako;

yena uyawubulala silo saselwandle.

₂Ngalelo langa: “Hlabelani ngesivini lesitselako.

₃Mine, longuSimakadze, ngiyaselusa,

ngisinisela njalo nje,

ngiselusa imini nebusuku,

kuze kutsi kubete muntfu losonako.

₄Angikatfukutseli.

Kube mane bekunetinchachabutane

nemanyeva langisukelako!

Bengitawushuca ngiyekuwahlasela emphini;

bengitawahloseka onkhe ngemlilo.

₅Nome-ke wona abaleke atewubhaca kimi,

akabuyisane nami, yebo, akabuyisane nami.”

₆Ngemalanga letako,

Jakobe uyawumila timphandze asime,

Israyeli uyawuhluma achakaze timbali,

agcwalise umhlaba wonkhe ngetitselo.

₇Kungabe kambe, Simakadze umgadlile,

njengaloku agadla labo labamgadlako?

Ngabe kambe sewubulewe yini

njengekubulawa kwalabo lababulala yena?

₈Kulwa kwakhe nebaseJerusalema

kugcina ngekutsi abadvungulule baye ekutfunjweni,

abakhiphe ngesikhahlo sakhe

njengekuhhusha kwemoya wasemphumalanga.

₉Ngaloku-ke licala lakaJakobe

liyawube selihlawulelwe,

loku kuyawuba sitselo lesiphelele

sekwesulwa kwesono sakhe:

Ngesikhatsi enta onkhe emalati ematje,

kutsi abe njengematje emcakaco,

aphushuke abe timvutfu,

kute nayinye insika ya-Ashera

nome lilati lemphepho leliyawusala limile.

₁₀Lidolobha leliyinqaba

lisala lite muntfu,

sabelo lesishiyiwe sisale sinjengelihlane,

lapho sekuyabe kudla khona ematfole, alale khona ahlabule,

aphundle emagala akhona aze abe mhlophe.

₁₁Kuyawutsi emagala akhona nasomile, ephulwe,

kufike bafati bawatfote, bayekuwabasa.

Ngobe lesi sive lesingeva emadlebeni,

ngako, uMenti waso akasenamunyu ngaso,

uMdali waso akasenasihawu ngaso.
