Isaya Chapter 27

1. Ngalolo suku uJehova uyakuhambela ngenkemba yakhe elukhuni enkulu nenamandla uLeviyathani, inyoka esheshayo, uLeviyathani, inyoka ethandelayo, abulale udrako oselwandle.

2. Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona isivini esinxanelekayo. “Hlabelelani ngaso.

3. Mina Jehova ngingumlindi waso, ngiyakusinisela njalo; funa soniwe, ngiyakusilinda ubusuku nemini.

4. Ukufutheka akukho kimi; sengathi kungaba khona amakhakhasi nameva! Bengiyakuwasukela ngokulwa, ngiwashise kanyekanye,

5. noma abambelele emandleni ami ukuba enze ukuthula nami, enzelane ukuthula nami.”

6. Ngezinsuku ezizayo uJakobe uyakugxila, u-Israyeli akhahlele, aqhakaze, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngezithelo.

7. Ubashayile njengalokho ebashayile ababashayayo na? Babulewe njengokubulawa kwababulewe nguye na?

8. Ngokubamukisa nangokubaxosha uyabajezisa; wabasusa ngomoya wakhe olukhuni ngosuku lomoya wasempumalanga.

9. Ngakho ububi bukaJakobe buyakuhlangulwa ngalokhu, lokhu kube yisithelo sonke sokususa isono sakhe, lapho enza ukuba onke amatshe e-altare avithizeke njengamatshe omcako, kungabe kusamiswa o-Ashera nama-altare empepho.

10. Ngokuba umuzi obiyelweyo uyize, nekhaya limukelwe, lishiyiwe njengehlane; ithole liyakuklaba khona, libuthise khona, lidle, liqede amahlamvu awo.

11. Lapho amagatsha awo esebunile, ayakwaphulwa, kufike abesifazane, baphembe umlilo kuwo, ngokuba bangabantu abangenakuqonda; ngalokho owabenzayo akayikubahawukela, nowababumbayo akayikuba namusa kubo.

12. Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku uJehova avuthuze ezikhwetshini zasemfuleni kuze kube semfuleni waseGibithe, nibuthwe abanye ngabanye nina bantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

13. Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku libethwe icilongo elikhulu, kufike ababelahlekile ezweni lase-Asiriya nabaxoshiweyo ezweni laseGibithe, bakhuleke kuJehova entabeni engcwele eJerusalema.
