U-Isaya 35

₁Kuyakujabula ihlane nogwadule,

kuthokoze uqwathule,

lukhahlele njengentebe.

₂Luyakukhahlela kahle, luthokoze,

yebo, luthokoze, luhube;

luyakuphiwa udumo lweLebanoni,

nobukhosi beKarmeli nobeSharoni,

lubone inkazimulo kaJehova,

nobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu wethu.

₃Qinisani izandla ezibuthakathaka,

nimise amadolo axegayo.

₄Yishoni kwabanenhliziyo eyesabayo ukuthi:

“Qinani, ningesabi;

bhekani, uNkulunkulu wenu uyeza ngokuphindisela,

impindiselo ivela kuNkulunkulu;

nguye oza ukunisindisa.”

₅Khona amehlo ezimpumputhe ayakuvulwa,

zivuleke nezindlebe zezithulu.

₆Khona unyonga luyakutshekula njengendluzele,

nolimi lwesimungulu luyakuhuba,

ngokuba ehlane kuyakubhoboka amanzi,

nemifudlana kwahlongasibi.

₇Isihlabathi esibengezelayo siyakuba yichibi,

isigagadu sibe yimithombo yamanzi;

ekhaya lamakhanka lapho ayebuthisa khona

kuyakuba khona igceke lomhlanga nekhwani.

₈Kuyakuba khona umendo

nendlela eyakuthiwa iNdlela Yobungcwele;

ongcolileyo akayikuhamba ngayo,

kepha iyakuba ngeyabantu bakhe;

abahamba ngayo, noma beyiziwula,

abayikuduka kuyo.

₉Akuyikuba khona lapho ingonyama,

nesilwane esihahayo asiyikukhuphukela khona;

lokho akuyikufunyanwa khona,

kepha abakhululiweyo bayakuhamba ngayo.

₁₀Abahlengiweyo bakaJehova bayakubuya

baye eSiyoni ngokwethaba,

intokozo engunaphakade ibe phezu kwamakhanda abo;

bayakuthola ukujabula nokuthokoza,

kubaleke usizi nokububula.
