U-Isaya 46

₁UBeli uyaguqa, uNebo uyakhothama;

izithombe zabo zingezezilwane nezezinkomo;

enibathweleyo bangumthwalo,

banzima ezilwaneni eziyethileyo.

₂Ziyakhothama, ziguqa kanyekanye,

azinakuwukhulula umthwalo;

nabo uqobo baya ekuthunjweni.

₃“Ngilalele wena ndlu kaJakobe,

yonke insali yendlu yakwa-Israyeli

engiyithwesiweyo kwasesiswini,

yabekwa phezu kwami kwasesizalweni.

₄Noze niguge, nginguye,

yebo, noze nibe yizimpunga,

ngiyakunithwala;

ngikwenzile lokhu,

futhi ngiyakunetshatha,

yebo, ngiyakunithwala, nginikhulule.

₅“Niyakungifanisa,

ningilinganise nobani,

ningiqathanise nobani ukuba sifanane na?

₆Abathulula igolide esikhwameni yini,

balinganise isiliva esilinganisweni,

baqashe umkhandi wesiliva ukuba enze unkulunkulu,

bese bekhothama, bakhuleke, na?

₇Bamthwala ehlombe, bametshathe,

bambeke endaweni yakhe ukuba eme khona,

angabe esasuka endaweni yakhe;

kepha uma umuntu ekhala kuye,

akayikumphendula,

angamsindisi osizini lwakhe.

₈“Khumbulani lokhu, nime niqinile,

nibuye nicabange ezinhliziyweni zenu nina benzi bokubi.

₉Khumbulani izinto zakuqala zamandulo,

ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu,

akakho omunye,

yebo, nginguNkulunkulu,

akakho onjengami,

₁₀engimemezela ngaphambili okuyakuza,

nasendulo izinto ezingakenziwa, ngokuthi:

Icebo lami liyakuma,

ngiyakwenza yonke intando yami,

₁₁mina engibiza inqe empumalanga

nomuntu wecebo lami ezweni elikude;

yebo, ngikhulumile, ngiyakukufikisa;

nginqumile, ngiyakukwenza.

₁₂Ngilaleleni nina enilukhuni ngenhliziyo,

enikude nokulunga.

₁₃Ngiyakusondeza ukulunga kwami, akukude,

insindiso yami ayiyikulibala;

ngibeka insindiso eSiyoni

nodumo lwami kwa-Israyeli.
