Isaya 64:1-12
64 Ngathana bewuhlukanise izulu begodu wehlela phasi,Bona iintaba zihlengezele ngebanga lakho,
2 Njengalokha umlilo utjhisa ikhuni,Begodu umlilo wenza amanzi abile,Yeke amanabakho azokwazi igama lakho,Begodu iintjhaba zizokuhlengezela phambi kwakho!
3 Lokha nawenza izinto ezibabazekako ebesingakazilindeli,+Wehlela phasi begodu iintaba zahlengezela phambi kwakho.+
4 Kusukela kade akekho owezwa namkha walalela,Namkha wabona omunye uZimu ngaphandle kwakho,Othatha amagadango malungana nalabo abasolo bamlindele.+
5 Uhlangene nalabo abathabela ukwenza okulungileko,+Labo abakukhumbulako begodu balandele iindlela zakho.
Qala! Wasilingeka lokha nasisolo senza isono,+Senza isono isikhathi eside.
Kufuze sisindiswe na?
6 Soke sibe njengomuntu ongakahlwengeki,Begodu zoke izenzo zethu zokulunga zinjengetjhila elisilapheleko.*+
Sizokutjhwaba njengekari,Nemitjhaphwethu izosiphephula njengomoya.
7 Akunamuntu obiza igama lakho,Akunamuntu olinga ukufumana isizo lakho,Ngombana usifihlele ubuso bakho,+Begodu usibangele bona sitjhabalale ngebanga lemitjhaphwethu.
8 Kodwana wena Jehova unguBabethu.+
Simdaka begodu wena uMbumbethu;+Soke simsebenzi wesandla sakho.
9 Maye! Jehova, ungasilingeki khulu,+Begodu ungakhumbuli umtjhaphwethu unomphela.
Sibawa usiqale ngombana soke sibabantu bakho.
10 Amadorobhakho acwengileko abe mmango.
IZiyoni ibe mmango,IJerusalema ibe yinarha enganalitho.+
11 Indlwethu ecwengileko nephazimulako,Abokhokho bethu ebebakudumisa kiyo,Itjhiswe ngomlilo,+Begodu zoke izinto ebeziligugu kithi zitjhabalele.
12 Malungana nalokhu, usazozibamba Jehova?
Usazokuhlala uthulile begodu usilise sizwe ubuhlungu obungaka?+
