uIsaya uIsaya 52 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Vuka, vuka; nxiba amandla akho, Ziyon! Nxiba iingubo zakho zokuhomba, Yerusalem, mzi ungcwele, ngokuba ukususela ngoku akuyi kungena kuwe ongalukanga, noyinqambi.

2Ziphakamise, usuke eluthulini; Suk’ ume, uhlale phantsi, Yerusalem; zikhulule iimbophelelo zentamo yakho, mthinjwa, ntombi inguZiyon!

3Ngokuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, Kwathengiswa ngani ngelize; kwaye uya kusala ungenayo nesenti.

4Kuba itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Abantu bam babehle baya eYiputa ukuze baphambukele khona; yaye iAsiriya yabacinezela ngaphandle kwesizathu.

5Kaloku ke yintoni na enamapha, utsho uYehova, bethatyathwe ngelize nje abantu bam? mabathi abalawuli babo, utsho uYehova; negama lam linyeliswa yonke imihla.

6Ke ngoko, abantu bam baya kulazi igama lam; ke ngoko, baya kwazi ngaloo mini ukuba ndim lowo uthethayo; khangela, ndim.

7Hayi, ukuba zintle kwazo ezintabeni iinyawo zabashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, abavakalisa uxolo; lowo uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo, lowo uvakalisa usindiso; abathi kwiZiyon, Ngukumkani uThixo wakho!

8Phulaphula ilizwi labagcini bakho; baya kuvuma ngazwi-nye, ngenxa yokuba baya kubona ngamehlo xa uYehova eyibuyisa iZiyon.

9Memelelani nivume kunye, manxuwa aseYerusalem; ngokuba uYehova ubathuthuzele abantu bakhe, wayikhulula ngentlawulelo iYerusalem.

10uYehova usityhilile isandla sakhe esingcwele phambi kwamehlo eentlanga zonke; yaye zonke iziphelo zehlabathi ziya kulubona ke usindiso loThixo wethu.

11Mkani, mkani apho, musani ukuyichukumisa into eyinqambi; evela kuye; Hlambuluka, nina bathwali beempahla zikaYehova.

12Kuba musani ukumka kamsinya, musani ukuqhwesha; ngokuba uYehova uya kukukhokela; yaye uThixo kaSirayeli woba ngumvuzo wenu.

13Yabonani, umkhonzi wam uya kwenza ngengqiqo;

14Abaninzi bamangaliswa nguwe; ubuso bakhe bonakele ngaphezu kobabo bonke abantu, nembonakalo yakhe ibinobubi kunoonyana babantu.

15Uya kuzichithachitha ke iintlanga ezininzi; ookumkani baya kuthi khamnqa kuye; kuba oko bangekakuxeleli, baya kukubona; nento abangayivanga baya kuva.
