Isaya Chapter 62

1. Ngenxa yeSiyoni angiyikuthula, nangenxa yeJerusalema angiyikuphumula, ukulunga kwalo kungakaphumi njengokukhanya nokusindiswa kwalo njengesibani esivuthayo.

2. Izizwe ziyakubona ukulunga kwakho, namakhosi onke inkazimulo yakho; uyakubizwa ngegama elisha eliyakunqunywa ngumlomo kaJehova.

3. Uyakuba ngumqhele wodumo esandleni sikaJehova, neqhele lobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.

4. Awusayikuthiwa Oshiyiweyo, nezwe lakini alisayikuthiwa iNcithakalo, kepha uyakubizwa ngokuthi Ontokozo yami ikuye, nezwe lakini ngokuthi Oganileyo, ngokuba uJehova uyathokoza ngawe, nezwe lakini lendile.

5. Ngokuba njengensizwa iganwa yintombi, kanjalo amadodana akho ayakuganwa nguwe; nanjengokuthokoza komyeni ngomakoti wakhe uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthokoza ngawe.

6. Ngimisile abalindi phezu kwezingange zakho, Jerusalema; abayikuthula nakanye imini nobusuku; nina eningabakhumbuzi ngoJehova maningaphumuli,

7. futhi ningamniki ukuphumula, aze akhe iJerusalema, alibeke libe yindumiso emhlabeni.

8. UJehova ufungile ngesandla sakhe sokunene nangengalo yamandla akhe, wathi: “Impela angisayikuzinika izitha zakho amabele akho abe ngukudla kwazo; abezizwe abayikuliphuza iwayini lakho olikhandlekeleyo,

9. kodwa abawaqoqileyo bayakuwadla, bamdumise uJehova, nabaliqoqileyo bayakuliphuza emagcekeni endlu yami engcwele.”

10. Phumani, niphume ngamasango, niyilungise indlela yabantu; hlelani, niwuhlele umendo, niwakhiphe amatshe; niphakamisele izizwe ibhanela.

11. Bhekani, uJehova uyezwakala kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba, ethi: “Yishoni kuyo indodakazi yaseSiyoni ukuthi: ‘Bheka, insindiso yakho iyeza. Bheka, umvuzo wakhe unawo, nenkokhelo yakhe iphambi kobuso bakhe.’ ”

12. Bayakubizwa ngokuthi abantu abangcwele, abahlengiweyo bakaJehova; wena uyakuthiwa Ofuniweyo, uMuzi Ongashiyiwe.
