Isaya 52:1-15
52 Vuka! Vuka! Uzembathise ngamandla,+ wena Ziyoni!+
Mbatha izembatho zakho ezihle,+ wena Jerusalema, dorobho elicwengileko!
Ngombana ongakasoki nongakahlwengeki angekhe basangena kuwe.+
2 Thintitha ithuli, phakama uhlale endawenakho wena Jerusalema.
Tjhaphulula iintambo ezisentanyenakho, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni ethunjiweko.+
3 Ngilokhu uJehova akutjhoko:
“Nathengiswa ngaphandle kwemali,+Nizokuhlengwa ngaphandle kwemali.”+
4 Nakhu iKosi ePhakemeko uJehova ekutjhoko:
“Ekuthomeni abantu bami behlela eGibhide bayokuhlala khona bavela kwenye inarha;+Ngemva kwalokho ama-Asiriya abagandelela ngaphandle kwesizathu.”
5 “Yini ekufuze ngiyenze la?” kutjho uJehova.
“Ngombana abantu bami bathethwe ngelize.
Labo ababusa phezu kwabo basolo barhuwelela ngokuhlula,”+ kutjho uJehova,“Begodu qobe langa igama lami alihlonitjhwa.+
6 Ngebangelo abantu bami bazokwazi igama lami;+Ngebangelo bazokwazi mhlokho ukuthi ngimi okhulumako.
Qala, ngimi!”
7 Qala bona zihle kangangani eentabeni iinyawo zaloyo oletha iindaba ezimnandi,+Loyo omemezela ukuthula,+Loyo oletha iindaba ezimnandi zento engcono,Loyo omemezela isindiso,Loyo othi ngeZiyoni: “UZimakho sekayiKosi!”+
8 Lalela! Abonogada bakho baphakamisa amaphimbwabo.
Barhuwelela ngethabo kanyekanye,Ngombana bazokubona ngokukhanyako uJehova nakabuthelela iZiyoni.
9 Thabani, nirhuwelele ngethabo kanyekanye nina marubhi weJerusalema,+Ngombana uJehova ududuze abantu bakhe;+ uhlenge iJerusalema.+
10 UJehova ukhuphe umkhonwakhe ocwengileko phambi kwamehlo wazo zoke iintjhaba;+Woke amaphethelo wephasi azokubona izenzo zesindiso kaZimethu.+
11 Jikani, jikani, phumani lapho,+ ningathinti litho elingakahlwengeki!+
Phumani kilo,+ hlalani nihlwengekile,Nina enithwele ipahla kaJehova.+
12 Ngombana angekhe nikhambe nithukiwe,Begodu angekhe kutlhogeke nibaleke,Ngombana uJehova uzokukhamba phambi kwenu,+Begodu uZimu ka-Israyeli uzokukhamba ngemva kwenu.+
13 Qala! Incekwami+ izokwenza ngelemuko.
Izokunikelwa isabelo esiqakathekileko,Izokuphakanyiswa begodu iphakanyiswe khulu.+
14 Njengombana bebabanengi abayiqale bamangele,Indlela eqaleka ngayo beyitjhuguluke ukudlula nanyana ngubani omunye umuntuNendlela engayo beyingafani neyomunye umuntu.
15 Ngombana izokuthusa iintjhaba ezinengi.+
Amakhosi azokuvala imilomawo phambi kwayo,+Ngombana azokubona lokho angakhenge atjelwe ngakhoBegodu azokucabanga ngalokho angakakuzwa.+
