U-Isaya 61 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Umnyaka Womusa KaThixo

1Umoya kaThixo Wobukhosi uphezu kwami,

ngoba uThixo ungigcobile

ukuba ngitshumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu.

Ungithumile ukuba ngibophe inhliziyo ezidabukileyo,

ngimemezele ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo,

lokukhululwa kwezibotshwa emnyameni,

2lokumemezela umnyaka womusa kaThixo,

losuku lokuphindisela kukaNkulunkulu wethu;

ukududuza abalilayo,

3lokunakekela labo abadabukileyo eZiyoni,

ukubapha umqhele wobuhle

esikhundleni somlotha,

amafutha okujabula

esikhundleni sokulila,

lengubo yokudumisa

esikhundleni somoya wokulahla ithemba.

Bazabizwa ngokuthi yimʼokhi yokulunga,

ehlanyelwe nguThixo

ukuba abonakalise inkazimulo yakhe.

4Bazavuselela njalo amanxiwa asendulo

bavuse lezindawo ezadilizwa kudala.

Bazavuselela amadolobho adilikayo

aleminyaka eminengi adilika.

5Abezizwe bazakwelusa imihlambi yenu;

abezizwe bazalima amasimu enu lezivini zenu.

6Lizabizwa ngokuthi abaphristi bakaThixo,

kuzathiwa liyizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu.

Lizakudla inotho yezizwe,

lizincome ngenotho yazo.

7Esikhundleni sehlazo labo

abantu bami bazaphiwa isabelo esiphindwe kabili,

njalo esikhundleni sokuyangeka

bazathokoza ngelifa labo;

ngakho isabelo selifa labo elizweni sizaphindwa kabili,

lentokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngeyabo.

8“Ngoba mina, uThixo, ngithanda ukulunga,

ngizonda ubugebenga lobubi.

Ngobuqotho bami ngizabanika umvuzo

ngenze isivumelwano esingapheliyo labo.

9Izizukulwane zabo zizakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe,

lenzalo yabo yaziwe phakathi kwabantu.

Bonke abababonayo bazavuma

ukuthi bangabantu ababusiswe nguThixo.”

10Ngiyathokoza kakhulu kuThixo;

umphefumulo wami uyajabula ngoNkulunkulu wami.

Ngoba ungigqokise izigqoko zokusindiswa,

wangicecisa ngezembatho zokulunga,

njengomyeni ececisa ikhanda lakhe njengomphristi,

lanjengomlobokazi ezicecise ngamatshe akhe aligugu.

11Ngoba njengomhlabathi owenza ihlumela limile,

lesivande esenza inhlanyelo ikhule,

ngokunjalo uThixo Wobukhosi uzakwenza ukulunga

lodumo kuvele phambi kwezizwe zonke.
