U-Isaya 64

₁Sengathi ungadabula amazulu, wehle,

zizamazame izintaba phambi kwakho

₂njengokuphenjwa komlilo ezinsabeni,

nalapho umlilo ubilisa amanzi,

ukuze wazise izitha zakho igama lakho,

izizwe zithuthumele phambi kwakho.

₃Ekwenzeni kwakho okwesabekayo esingakubhekanga wehla;

izintaba zathuthumela phambi kwakho.

₄Kusukela endulo abantu abezwanga,

abacoshanga nangendlebe,

futhi iso alibonanga uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho

osebenzela omhlalelayo.

₅Wahlangabeza labo ababethokoza ngokwenza ukulunga,

labo abakukhumbulayo ezindleleni zakho.

Wena wathukuthela, thina sona;

sahlala kukho nasendulo;

siyakusindiswa na?

₆Sonke saba njengongcolileyo,

nokulunga kwethu konke kwakunjengengubo enindiweyo;

sabuna sonke njengeqabunga,

nobubi bethu basisusa njengomoya.

₇Kwakungekho owalibiza igama lakho,

owazivusela ukubambelela kuwe,

ngokuba wabusitheza ubuso bakho kithi,

wasiqeda ngenxa yobubi bethu.

₈Kepha manje, Jehova, unguBaba;

thina siyibumba, wena ungumbumbi wethu,

singumsebenzi wesandla sakho sonke.

₉Ungathukutheli kakhulu, Jehova,

ungakhumbuli njalo ububi.

Bheka, mawubone ukuthi sonke singabantu bakho.

₁₀Imizi yakho engcwele iphendukile ihlane;

iSiyoni liphendukile ihlane,

neJerusalema liyincithakalo.

₁₁Indlu yethu engcwele nemangalisayo,

lapho obaba babekudumisa khona,

ishisiwe ngomlilo,

nazo zonke izindawo zethu ezithandekayo ziphendukile izincithakalo.

₁₂Ungazibamba kukho konke lokhu, Jehova?

Ungathula, uze usihluphe kangaka, na?
