U-Isaya 55

Ukunxusa Kwabomileyo

1“Wozani, lonke lina abomileyo,

wozani emanzini,

lani lina elingelamali,

wozani, lithenge, lidle!

Wozani, thengani iwayini lochago

ingekho imali lendleko.

2Lichithelani imali kokungasikho kudla,

lokusebenza kwenu kulokho okungasuthisiyo na?

Lalelani, lalelani kimi, lidle okuhle,

umoya wenu uzathokoziswa yizibiliboco.

3Lalelani, lize kimi;

lingilalele ukuze umphefumulo wenu uphile.

Ngizakwenza isivumelwano esingapheliyo lani,

uthando lwami oluqotho olwathenjiswa uDavida.

4Khangelani, ngimenze waba ngufakazi ebantwini,

umkhokheli lomlawuli wabantu.

5Ngeqiniso lizabiza izizwe elingazaziyo,

lezizwe ezingalaziyo zizagijimela kini,

ngenxa kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,

oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,

ngoba uselinike inkazimulo.”

6Mdingeni uThixo esatholakala,

mbizeni eseseduzane.

7Omubi kayekele indlela yakhe

loxhwalileyo alahle imicabango yakhe.

Kaphendukele kuThixo, uzakuba lesihawu kuye,

lakuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba uzamthethelela ngesihle.

8“Ngoba imicabango yami kayisiyo eyenu,

lezindlela zenu kayisizo ezami,”

kutsho uThixo.

9“Njengomkhathi uphakeme kulomhlaba,

ngokunjalo izindlela zami ziphakeme kulezindlela zenu,

lemicabango yami iphakeme kulemicabango yenu.

10Njengoba izulu longqwaqwane

kusehla kuvela phezulu,

kungaphindi kubuyele khonale

kungathambisanga umhlaba

kuwenze ununkule ube lamahlumela,

ukuze unike umhlanyeli inhlanyelo, lodlayo umnike ukudla,

11linjalo lelizwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami:

kaliyikubuya kimi lize,

kodwa lizafeza engikufunayo

liphumelelise lokho engilithume khona.

12Lina lizaphuma ngokuthokoza

likhokhelwe ngokuthula;

izintaba lamaqaqa

kuzasusa ingoma phambi kwenu,

njalo zonke izihlahla zeganga

zizaqakeza izandla zazo.

13Endaweni yesihlahla sameva kuzamila iphayini,

lendaweni yokhula kuzamila isihlahla somithili.

Lokhu kuzakwenza uThixo adunyiswe,

kube yisibonakaliso esingapheliyo,

esingayikudilizwa.”
