uIsaya uIsaya 32 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Yabona, ukumkani uya kulawula ngokobulungisa, abathetheli bathethele ngobulungisa;

2Umntu abe njengendawo yokuzimela xa umoya ubhudlayo, abe njengendawo yokuzimela esiphangweni; njengemijelo yamanzi emhlabeni owomileyo, njengomthunzi wengxondorha enkulu ezweni elibharhileyo.

3Akayi kuba mnyama amehlo ababonayo; zibazeke iindlebe zabevayo.

4Intliziyo yabangxamileyo iyakuqonda ukwazi, ulwimi lwabathintithayo lulungiselwe ukuthetha kakuhle.

5Osweleyo akuyi kuba sathiwa ulilungisa, okanye kuthiwe unesisa;

6Kuba umntu osisidenge uya kuthetha ububi nentliziyo yakhe yenza ububi ngokuhanahanisa nokumxokisa uYehova, ukuze athulule umphefumlo wolambileyo, yaye uya kusitshabalalisa isiselo sonxaniweyo.

7Kananjalo izixhobo zongendawo zingendawo: uceba ukutshabalalisa isisweli ngobuxoki, naxa ihlwempu lithetha inyaniso.

8Kodwa ke abantu abakhululekileyo bacinga ngezinto ezinkulu kwaye uya kuma kwizinto zesisa.

9Vukani, bathuthuzeli; liveni ilizwi lam, zintombi zingakhathaliyo; yiva intetho yam.

10Niya koyika imihla emininzi, neminyaka emininzi, zintokazi zingakhathaliyo; ngokuba ukuvuna kuya kuphela;

11Yibani nemihlali, zintombi zingakhathaliyo; yoyikani, nina bangenamsebenzi; khululani, khululani, bhinqani ezinqeni zenu ilaphu elirhabaxa.

12Baya kulilela ilize ngenxa yamasimi anqwenelekayo, ngenxa yediliya eneziqhamo.

13Kuya kuhluma ameva neenkunzane ezweni labantu bam; ewe, nasezindlwini zonke zovuyo kumzi onoyolo;

14Kuba iingxande ezinde zilahliwe; uninzi lwesixeko luya kuhlala; iinqaba nemboniselo zibe yimihadi ngonaphakade, zibe yimihadi yamahashe asendle, zibe lidlelo leenkomo;

15ade agalele phezu kwethu uMoya ophuma phezulu, isuke intlango ibe yintsimi echumayo, ibe lintsimi echumayo njengehlathi.

16Kulapho buya kuhlala ubulungisa entlango, buhlale ubulungisa ezweni elichumayo.

17Umsebenzi wobulungisa uya kuba luxolo; ukuze umgwebo ube ngowoxolo, uqiniseke ngonaphakade.

18Kwaye abantu bam baya kuhlala ekwakhiweni koxolo nakwiindawo ezikhuselekileyo nasezindaweni zokuphumla ezithe cwaka;

19Xa kukho isichotho, yihla uye ehlathini; yaye isixeko siya kuhlala endaweni ephantsi.

20Hayi, uyolo lwenu bahlwayela ngasemanzini onke, banyathela ngamanqina eenkomo naweesile.
