uIsaya uIsaya 48 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Ngenxa yegama lam, ndizeka kade ukuba nomsindo;

1Liveni eli lizwi, nina bendlu kaYakobi, enibizwa ngalo igama likaSirayeli, naphuma emanzini akwaYuda, nina nishumayelayo egameni likaYehova, nibiza uThixo kaSirayeli, kodwa kungenganyaniso; nangenyaniso ubulungisa abukho.

2Ngenxa enokuba bezibiza, bephuma emzini ongcwele, behleli kuThixo kaSirayeli; NguYehova wemikhosi igama lakhe.

3Izinto zokuqala ndazixela kwasekuqaleni; zaphuma emlonyeni wam, ndazibonisa; Ndenze ngokungacwangciswanga, kwaye kwenzeka.

4Kuba ndiyazi ukuba uneenkani, nentamo yakho ingumsipha wesinyithi, nebunzi lakho lubhedu;

5Kananjalo ndinixelele kwasekuqalekeni; ingekabonakali, ndakubonise yona, ukuze ungathi, Wenze le nto uThixo wam, umfanekiso wam oqingqiweyo nomtyhido wam bawumisile.

6Nivile; ziboneni zonke ezi zinto; kwaye awuyi kuthetha? Ukususela ngoku ndikubonise izinto ezintsha, izinto ezifihlakeleyo, ongazazi.

7Zidalwa ngoku, azidalwanga kwasekuqaleni; akubavanga naphambi kwelanga; hleze uthi, Yabona, bendizazi.

8Ewe, aneva; ewe, ubungazi; ibingavulekanga indlebe yakho kususela koko; kuba ndandisazi ukuba uya kwenza ngobuqhophololo uze kuthiwe ungumkreqi kwasesibelekweni.

9Ngenxa yegama lam ndiya kuwubekela bucala umsindo wam, nangenxa yendumiso yam ndiya kuwucima, ukuze ndingonakalisi.

10Uyabona, ndikuhlambulule, akwaba ngasilivere; ndikunyule ezikweni lembandezelo;

11Ngenxa yam, ewe, ngenxa yam, ndiya kukwenza; lingáthini na ukungcoliswa igama lam? andiluniki omnye uzuko lwam.

12Ndiphendule, Yakobi, Sirayeli, ukuhlahlamba kwam; Ndinguye; ndingowokuqala, ndingowokugqibela;

13Isandla sam saseka ihlabathi, esokunene sam saneke izulu; xa ndizibiza, zema kunye.

14Zihlanganiseni, niphulaphule; Nguwuphi na kubo owathetha ezo zinto? uYehova wayemthanda; Uya kwenza okulungileyo kwiBhabhiloni, yaye isandla sakhe siya kuba nxamnye namaKhaledi.

15Mna, ewe, ndithethile; ewe, ndimbizile; ndimzisile, kwaye uya kuyiphumelelisa indlela yakhe.

16Sondelani kum, nive oku; Kwasekuqaleni andithethanga emfihlekweni; ngokuba ndikho, ndikho; nangoku iNkosi uYehova indithumile ngomoya wayo.

17Utsho uYehova, umkhululi wakho, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli; NdinguYehova, uThixo wakho, ungokufundisa okulungileyo, ohamba ngendlela oya kuhamba ngayo.

18Akwaba ubuyibazele indlebe imiyalelo yam! uxolo lwakho lwaba njengomlambo, nobulungisa bakho njengamaza olwandle;

19Yayinjengentlabathi imbewu yakho, nabantwana ezibilinini zakho babe njengohlalutye lwakho; aliyi kunqunyulwa litshabalale igama lakhe phambi kwam.

20Phumani eBhabheli, babalekeni kumaKaledi; uthi, uYehova umkhulule ngokumhlawulela umkhonzi wakhe uYakobi.

21Abanxanwanga oko ebahambisa entlango; Wabakhuphela amanzi engxondorheni; Waphinda walicanda iliwa, kwaphuma amanzi.

22Akukho luxolo kwabangendawo, utsho uYehova.
