Isaya 61:1-11
61 Ummoya weKosi ePhakemeko uJehova uphezu kwami,+Ngombana uJehova ungizese bona ngitjhumayele iindaba ezimnandi kwabathobekileko.+
Ungithume bona ngibophe iinhliziyo eziphukileko,Bona ngimemezele itjhaphuluko kwabathunjiwekoBegodu ngivule amehlo weembotjhwa,+
2 Bona ngimemezele umnyaka kaJehova womusaNelanga lokuzibuyiselela lakaZimethu,+Bona ngiduduze boke abalilako,+
3 Bona asekele labo abalilela iZiyoni,Bona abanikele idugu kunomlotha,Amafutha wokuthaba kunokulila,Isambatho sokudumisa kunommoya wokudana.
Bazokubizwa ngokuthi mimithi emikhulu yokulunga,Isitjalo sakaJehova bona amphazimulise.+
4 Bazokwakha kabutjha amarubhi wakade;Bazokuvuselela iindawo ezitjhatjalalisiweko zakade,+Bazokuvuselela amadorobho agiriziweko,+Iindawo ezinganalitho eenzukulwaneni ngeenzukulwana.+
5 “Abantu abangaziwako bazokujama, beluse imihlambenu,Begodu abantu abavela kwezinye iinarha+ bazokuba balimi benu batlhogomele amasimenu wamadiribe.+
6 Nina nizokubizwa ngokuthi nibaphristi bakaJehova;+Nizokubizwa ngokuthi niziinceku zakaZimethu.
Nizokudla umnono weentjhaba,+Nizozibetha isifuba ngephazimulwabo.
7 Esikhundleni seenhloni, nizokunikelwa ingcenye ebuyelelwe kabili,Nesikhundleni sehlazo, zizokurhuwelela ngethabo ngebanga lesabelo sazo.
Iye, zizokufumana ingcenye ebuyelelwe kabili enarhenazo.+
Zizokuthaba ngokungapheliko.+
8 Ngombana mina Jehova ngithanda ubulungiswa;+Ngihloya ukudlelezela nokungalungi.+
Ngizozinikela umrholwazo ngokuthembeka,Begodu ngizokwenza isivumelwano esihlala ngokungapheliko nazo.+
9 Isizukulwana sazo sizokwaziwa hlangana neentjhaba+Begodu iinzukulwana zazo zizokwaziwa hlangana neentjhaba.
Boke abazibonako bazozazi,Ukuthi sizukulwana esibusiswe nguJehova.”+
10 Ngizomphazimulisa khulu uJehova.
Umphefumulwami woke uzokuthaba kuZimami.+
Ngombana ungimbathise izembatho* zesindiso,+Uzongiphuthela ngesambatho sokulunga,Njengomkhwenyana ombethe itjhila elithwalwa ehloko njengomphristi,+Njengomakoti ozihlobise ngemikghabiso.
11 Njengombana iphasi libangela bona imbewu ihlumeBegodu isimu yenza okutjaliweko kuhlume,Ngokunjalo iKosi ePhakemeko uJehovaIzokubangela ukulunga+ nedumo bona kuhlume+ phambi kwazo zoke iintjhaba.
