Isaya 43:1-28
43 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova,UMdali wakho, awu Jakobe, loyo lowakudala, Israyeli:+
“Ungesabi, ngoba mine ngikuhlengile.+
Ngikubite ngelibito lakho.
Wena uwami.
2 Nawudzabula ekhatsi emantini, ngitawuba nawe,+Nawewela imifula, angeke ikukhukhule.+
Nawuhamba ekhatsi emlilweni, angeke ushe,Nelilangabi angeke likuhashule.
3 Ngobe mine nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wakho,Longcwele waka-Israyeli, uMsindzisi wakho.
Nginikele iGibhithe yaba yinhlawulo yakho,Nginikela iTopiya neSeba esikhundleni sakho.
4 Ngobe ube ligugu emehlweni ami,+Uhlonishiwe futsi ngikutsandzile.+
Ngako ngitawunikela ngebantfu esikhundleni sakho,Nginikele ngetive esikhundleni semphilo* yakho.
5 Ungesabi, ngobe mine nginawe.+
Ngitawuletsa intalelwane* yakho lesuka emphumalangaNgikuhlanganise ndzawonye enshonalanga.+
6 Ngitawutjela inyakatfo ngitsi, ‘Bayekele!’+
Bese ngitjela iningizimu ngitsi, ‘Ungababambi.
Letsa emadvodzana ami lakhashane, nemadvodzakati ami lasemikhawulweni yemhlaba,+
7 Letsa wonkhe umuntfu lobitwa ngelibito lami+Loyo lengimdalele inkhatimulo yami,Loyo lengimakhile futsi ngamenta.’+
8 Letsa sive lesingaboni kodvwa sibe sinawo emehlo,Uletse sive lesingeva etindlebeni kodvwa sibe sinetindlebe.+
9 Tonkhe tive atihlangane endzaweni yinye,Futsi bonkhe bantfu ababutsane ndzawonye.+
Ngubani emkhatsini wabo longakhuluma loku?
Nobe bangakhona yini kusenta sive tintfo takucala?*+
Abaletse bofakazi babo kuze bativete kutsi bacinisile,Nobe balalele futsi batsi, ‘Loku kuliciniso!’”+
10 Jehova utsi: “Nine nibofakazi bami,+Niyinceku yami lengiyikhetsile,+Kuze nati futsi nikholwe ngimi*Bese niyacondza kutsi solo ngingulofanako.+
Ngaphambi kwami, kute Nkulunkulu lowake wabunjwa,Nangemuva kwami, kute lobe khona.+
11 Mine, mine nginguJehova,+ ngaphandle kwami kute umsindzisi.”+
12 “NginguLoyo lowamemetela, wasindzisa futsi wenta kwatiwaNgesikhatsi kusete bonkulunkulu betive emkhatsini wenu.+
Ngako nibofakazi bami,” kusho Jehova, “mine nginguNkulunkulu.+
13 Ngihlale ngingulofanako ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi;+Futsi kute ngisho namunye longahlutfula nome ngabe yini lesesandleni sami.+
Nangitsatsa sinyatselo, ngubani longangivimba?”+
14 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova, uMhlengi wenu,+ Longcwele waka-Israyeli:+
“Ngenca yenu ngitawutfumela livi eBhabhulona futsi ngitawudzilita onkhe emagede,+NemaKhaledi atawukhala emikhunjini yawo ngenca yekucindzeteleka.+
15 Mine nginguJehova, Longcwele wenu,+ uMdali wema-Israyeli,+ iNkhosi yenu.”+
16 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova,Loyo lovula indlela ekhatsi elwandleLovula nendlela ngisho nalapho kunemagagasi khona,+
17 Nalokhipha incola yemphi kanye nelihhashi,+Lokhipha libutfo kanye nemasotja langemachawe, utsi:
“Batawulala phansi bangavuki.+
Batawucinywa njengentsambo yesibane lesikhanyako.”
18 “Ningatikhumbuli tintfo letendlulile,Futsi ningahlali nicabanga ngetintfo takadzeni.
19 Ngenta intfo lensha;+Ngisho nanyalo seyicalile iyavela.
Aniyiboni yini?
Ngitakwenta indlela ledzabula ehlane+Ngivule nemifula lehamba elugwadvule.+
20 Silwane sesiganga sitangihlonipha,Nabojakalazi kanye netinshi,*Ngobe ngenta kutsi kube nemanti ehlane,Kube nemifula elugwadvule,+Ngentela bantfu bami, labakhetsiwe bami,+ kuze banatse,
21 Bantfu lengatibumbela bonaKuze bamemetele ludvumo lwami.+
22 Kodvwa awukangibiti wena Jakobe,+Ngobe wadzinwa ngimi wena Israyeli.+
23 Awukangiletseli timvu tayo yonkhe iminikelo yakho yekushiswaFutsi awukangingcwelisi ngemihlatjelo yakho.
Angikakuphoceleli kutsi ungiletsele sipho,Futsi angikakwenti wadzinwa ngekutsi ngifune ngenkhani emakha esihlahla semphepho.+
24 Awukangitsengeli umhlanga* lonongotelako ngemali yakho,Awukangenetisi ngemanoni emihlatjelo yakho.+
Esikhundleni saloko, ungente ngasindvwa tono takhoFutsi ungente ngadzinwa ngemaphutsa akho.+
25 Mine, mine nginguLoyo lowesula tiphambeko* takho+ ngenca yelibito lami,+Futsi angeke ngitikhumbule tono takho.+
26 Ngikhumbute; asiletse emacala etfu lesimangalelana ngawo;Shano luhlangotsi lwakakho, utikhulumele kuze ukhombise kutsi umsulwa.
27 Khokho wakho wekucala wona,Futsi umkhulumeli* wakho ungivukele.+
28 Ngako ngitatihlazisa tikhulu tendzawo lengcwele,Futsi ngitawunikela Jakobe ekubhujisweniIsrayeli yena ngitamenta abe yintfo yekwetfukwa.+
