U-Isaya 41Kwesaba umhlaba neziqhingi

1Thulani phambi kwami, nina ziqhingi; izizwe mazivuselele amandla azo; mabasondele; khona-ke mabakhulume; masisondele kanyekanye ekwahlulelweni.

2Ngubani owavusa olungileyo empumalanga, ombize ezinyaweni zakhe, wabeka izizwe phambi kwakhe, wambeka phezu kwamakhosi? Wabanikela enkembeni yakhe njengothuli, nomnsalo wakhe njengamabibi aqhubukushayo.

3Wabaxosha, wadlula ngokulondeka; nangendlela akahambanga ngayo ngezinyawo zakhe.

4Ngubani owakwenza wakwenza ngokubiza izizukulwane kusukela ekuqaleni? Mina, Jehova, owokuqala nowokugcina; nginguye.

5Iziqhingi zakubona lokhu zesaba; imikhawulo yomhlaba yethuka, yasondela, yahamba.

6Basiza, kwaba yilowo nalowo umakhelwane wakhe; yilowo nalowo wathi kumfowabo: “Yima isibindi.”

7Khona-ke umbazi wakhuthaza umkhandi wegolide, noshela ngesando noshaya insika, wathi: “Sekugcotshiwe; walibethela ngezipikili, ukuze linganyakazi.

8Kepha wena Israyeli, uyinceku yami, uJakobe engikukhethileyo, inzalo ka-Abrahama umngane wami.

9Wena engikususile emikhawulweni yomhlaba, ngakubiza phakathi kwezikhulu zawo, ngathi kuwe: Uyinceku yami; Ngakukhetha angizange ngikulahle.

10Ningesabi; ngoba mina nginani; ningethuki; ngoba nginguNkulunkulu wenu; Ngizokuqinisa; yebo, ngizokusiza; yebo, ngiyakusekela ngesandla sokunene sokulunga kwami.

11Bheka, bonke abakuthukuthelele bayakuma benamahloni, babe namahloni; nabaxabana nawe bayakubhubha.

12Uzabafuna, kodwa kawubatholi, labo abaxabana lawe;

13Ngokuba mina, Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ngiyakubamba isandla sakho sokunene ngithi kuwe: Ungesabi; ngizokusiza.

14Ungesabi wena sibungu Jakobe, nani madoda akwa-Israyeli! ngiyakusiza, usho uJehova, noMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

15Bheka, ngiyakukwenza isibhulo esisha esibukhali esinamazinyo; uyakubhula izintaba, uzigaye, wenze amagquma abe njengamakhoba.

16Uzawaphephetha, umoya uwasuse, lesiphepho sizawahlakaza; futhi ngokuqinisekile uyojabula ngoJehova, uzidumise ngoNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

17Lapho abampofu nabampofu befuna amanzi, kodwa awekho, nolimi lwabo luphele ukoma, mina, Jehova, ngizobaphendula, mina, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngeke ngibashiye.

18Ngiyakuvula imifula ezindaweni eziphakemeyo nemithombo ezigodini; Ngiyakwenza ugwadule lube yichibi lamanzi, nomhlabathi owomileyo ube yimithombo yamanzi.

19Ngiyakutshala ehlane umsedari, umtholo, nemibomvana, neminqumo; Ngiyakuhlalisa isihlahla sophayini, nephayini, nesihlahla sebhokisi, kuhlale ndawonye ehlane;

20ukuze babone kanyekanye bazi, babone, baqonde ukuthi isandla sikaJehova sikwenzile nokuthi oNgcwele ka-Israyeli ukudalile.

21Fundani indaba yenu, usho uJehova; vezani izizathu zenu ezinamandla, isho iNkosi kaJakobe.

22Mabayikhiphe basitshele okuzokwenzeka; noma usazise okuzayo.

23Tshengisani okuzayo, ukuze sazi ukuthi ningonkulunkulu: yebo, yenzani okuhle noma nenze okubi, ukuze sesabe, sikubone kanyekanye.

24Bhekani, anisizi lutho, nisebenzela ize; onikhethayo uyisinengiso.

25Ngizele owasenyakatho, futhi uzofika; kusukela empumalanga uyakubiza igama lami, futhi uyofika izikhulu njengokungathi phezu kobumba, futhi anyathele ubumba njengombumbi.

26Ngubani owakumemezelayo kwasekuqaleni, ukuze sikwazi? futhi ngaphambili, ukuze sithi: Ulungile? yebo, akakho owazisayo, yebo, akakho omemezelayo, yebo, akakho owezwayo amazwi enu.

27Owokuqala uyakuthi kulo iSiyoni: Bheka, nanzo, ngizanika iJerusalema oletha izindaba ezinhle.

28Ngokuba ngabona, kepha kwakungekho muntu; phakathi kwabo, kwakungekho meluleki owayengaphendula izwi lapho ngibabuza.

29Bheka, bonke bayize; imisebenzi yabo iyize, izithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingumoya nesiphithiphithi.
