U-Isaya 53 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

1Ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu,

njalo amandla kaThixo abonakaliswe kubani na?

2Wakhula phambi kwakhe njengehlumela,

lanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo.

Wayengelabuhle lobukhosi ukuba asikhange,

kungelalutho esimeni sakhe olungenza simfune.

3Weyiswa njalo waliwa ngabantu,

umuntu wezinsizi, njalo ekujayele ukuhlupheka.

Lowo abantu abangafuniyo ukukhangelana laye

weyiswa, asimhloniphanga.

4Ngempela wathatha inhlungu zethu

wathwala insizi zethu,

kodwa thina sathi utshaywe nguNkulunkulu,

ebethwe nguye, njalo uhlutshiwe.

5Kodwa wagwazwa ngenxa yezono zethu,

wachobozwa ngenxa yokona kwethu,

ukuhlutshwa kwakhe kwasilethela ukuthula,

njalo sasiliswa ngamanxeba akhe.

6Thina sonke silahlekile njengezimvu,

munye ngamunye wethu uphambukele endleleni yakhe;

njalo uThixo ubeke phezu kwakhe

ukona kwethu sonke.

7Wancindezelwa wahlutshwa,

kodwa kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe;

wakhokhelwa ukuyabulawa njengewundlu,

njalo njengemvu ithule phambi komgundi wayo,

laye kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe.

8Ngokuncindezelwa langokwahlulela wathathwa.

Ngubani ongakhuluma ngesizukulwane sakhe na?

Ngoba wasuswa elizweni labaphilayo;

watshaywa ngenxa yeziphambeko zabantu bami.

9Wabelwa ingcwaba kanye lababi,

kanye labanothileyo ekufeni kwakhe,

lanxa kungeladlakela alwenzayo

njalo kungekho inkohliso emlonyeni wakhe.

10Ikanti kwakuyintando kaThixo ukumchoboza lokumenza ahlupheke,

njalo lanxa uThixo esenza ukuphila kwakhe umnikelo wecala,

uzabona inzalo yakhe, andise insuku zokuphila kwakhe,

lentando kaThixo izaphumelela ngaye.

11Emva kokuhlupheka komoya wakhe,

uzabona ukukhanya kokuphila asuthiseke;

ngokwazi kwayo inceku yami elungileyo izalungisa abanengi,

ithwale izono zabo.

12Ngakho-ke ngizamnika isabelo phakathi kwabakhulu,

njalo uzakwabelana impango labalamandla

ngoba wanikela ukuphila kwakhe ekufeni,

wabalwa ndawonye lezoni;

ngoba wathwala izono zabanengi,

wancengela izoni.
