Isaya 45:1-25
45 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova kulogcotjiwe wakhe, lokunguKhuresi,+Loyo lengimbambe ngesandla sakhe sangesekudla+Kuze ancobe tive embikwakhe,+Kuze emuke emakhosi tikhali tawo,*Kuze avule iminyango lemikhulu lesembikwakhe lenetivalo letimbili,Kuze emagede angavalwa:
2 “Ngiyawuhamba embikwakho,+Futsi ngicondzise emagcuma,Ngephule iminyango yelitfusi ibe ticucu,Futsi ngijube tinsimbi ngitilahle phansi.+
3 Ngiyawukunika umcebo ebumnyameniNgikunike nemcebo lofihlwe etindzaweni letisemasitseleni,+Kuze wati kutsi mine nginguJehova,Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, lokubita ngelibito lakho.+
4 Ngenca yenceku yami Jakobe nangenca ya-Israyeli, lokhetsiwe wami,Ngikubita ngelibito lakho.
Ngikunika libito leludvumo, ngisho naloku bewungangati.
5 Mine nginguJehova futsi kute lomunye.
Kute lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.+
Ngitakucinisa, ngisho noma bewungangati,
6 Kuze bantfu batiKusukela ekuphumeni kwelilanga kuze kube sekushoneni kwalo,*Kutsi kute lomunye ngaphandle kwami.+
Mine nginguJehova futsi kute lomunye.+
7 Ngidala kukhanya+ ngidale nebumnyama,+Ngenta kuthula+ ngidale nenhlekelele;+Mine Jehova ngenta tonkhe letintfo.
8 Nine mazulu nisani imvula lesuka etulu;+Emafu awatfulule kulunga.
Umhlaba awuvuleke bese ukhicita insindziso,Futsi awubangele kutsi kulunga kuphuphume ngesikhatsi sinye.+
Mine Jehova ngikudalile loko.”
9 Maye kuloyo lomelana* neMenti wakhe,Ngobe umane nje ulucetu lolwentiwe ngelubumbaUlucetu emkhatsini waletinye tincetu letentiwe ngelubumba letisakake phansi.
Lubumba lungasho yini kuMbumbi lutsi: “Wakhani?”+
Nobe intfo loyakhile ingasho yini itsi: “Ute tandla”?*
10 Maye kuloyo lotsi kubabe wakhe: “Utalani nje?”
Nalotsi kumfati: “Yini lena loyitalako?”*
11 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova, Longcwele waka-Israyeli,+ Loyo lowamdala:
“Ungangibuta yini ngetintfo letisetaUphindze unginike umyalo ngalokufanele ngikwente emadvodzaneni ami+ nasemisebentini yetandla tami?
12 Umhlaba ngawenta+ ngaphindze ngadala umuntfu kuwo.+
Emazulu ngawelula ngetandla tami matfupha,+Futsi ngiwanika umtsetfo onkhe emabutfo awo.”+
13 “Ngiphakamise umuntfu ngekulunga,+Futsi ngitawenta tonkhe tindlela takhe ticondze.
Nguye lotawakha lidolobha lami+Aphindze akhulule bantfu bami labatfunjiwe,+ ngaphandle kwekubhadalwa nome kudizelwa,”+ kusho Jehova wemabutfo.
14 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova:
“Inzuzo* yeGibhithe netintfo letitsengiswako* taseTopiya netebantfu baseSeba, lokubantfu labadze,Tiyawufika kuwe futsi tibe takho.
Bayawukulandzela baboshwe ngetinketane.
Bayawufika bakukhotsamele.+
Bayawuthantaza batsi: ‘Nembala Nkulunkulu unawe,+Futsi kute lomunye; kute lomunye Nkulunkulu.’”
15 Wena unguNkulunkulu lotifihlako,Awu Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, Msindzisi.+
16 Bonkhe bayawuba nemahloni futsi batselwe ngelihlazo;Labakha tithico bayawuhamba bahlazekile.+
17 Kodvwa ema-Israyeli ayawusindziswa nguJehova ngensindziso yaphakadze.+
Angeke nitselwe ngelihlazo nobe nihlazeke kuze kube phakadze.+
18 Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguJehova,UMdali wemazulu+ longuNkulunkulu weliciniso,Loyo lowadala umhlaba, uMenti wawo lowawumisa,+Longazange awudalele lite nje,* kodvwa lawudalela kutsi kuhlalwe kuwo,+ utsi:
“Mine nginguJehova, kute lomunye.
19 Angizange ngikhulume ngisendzaweni lefihlekile,+ eveni lebumnyama;Angizange ngitsi entalelwaneni* yaJakobe,‘Ngifuneleni lite.’
Mine nginguJehova lokhuluma lokulungile futsi amemetele lokungiko.+
20 Hlanganani ndzawonye bese niyeta.
Sondzelani kanyekanye nine lenaphunyula etiveni.+
Abati lutfo labo labahambahamba betfwele tithico letibatiweBaphindze bathantaze kunkulunkulu longeke akhone kubasindzisa.+
21 Yetfulani umbiko wenu, letsani indzaba yenu.
Abakhulumisane ngebunye.
Ngubani lowakusho kadzeni lokuNalowakumemetela kusukela etikhatsini letengcile?
Akusimi yini, mine Jehova?
Kute lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami;Nkulunkulu lolungile neMsindzisi,+ kute lomunye ngaphandle kwami.+
22 Wotani kimi nisindziswe,+ nine mikhawulo yemhlaba,Ngobe mine nginguNkulunkulu futsi kute lomunye.+
23 Mine ngifungile;Sekuphume ligama emlonyeni wami ngekulunga,Futsi angeke libuyele emuva,+ litsi:
Onkhe emadvolo atawuguca embikwami,Tonkhe tilwimi titawufunga ngekwetsembeka+
24 Titawutsi: ‘Jehova unguNkulunkulu wekulunga nemandla.
Bonkhe labo labamtfukutselele bayokuta kuye bahlazekile.
25 Yonkhe intalelwane* ya-Israyeli itawubona kutsi yente kahle kukhonta Jehova,+Futsi itatigabatisa ngaye.’”
