Isaya 6:1-13
6 Ngemnyaka leyafa ngawo iNkhosi Uziya,+ ngabona Jehova ahleti esihlalweni sebukhosi lesisetulu nalesiphakanyisiwe,+ futsi umphetfo wesembatfo sakhe wagcwala lithempeli.
2 Bekume emaserafi ngetulu kwakhe; ngalinye linetimphiko letisitfupha. Liserafi ngalinye lativala buso ngetimphiko letimbili, lativala tinyawo ngaletinye letimbili futsi ngalinye kuwo belindiza ngetimphiko letimbili.
3 Lamanye abetsi kulamanye:
“Ungcwele! Ungcwele! Ungcwele! Jehova wemabutfo.+
Umhlaba wonkhe ugcwele inkhatimulo yakhe.”
4 Kwazizitela tinsika teminyango ngenca yemsindvo walokumemeta futsi lendlu yagcwala intfutfu.+
5 Ngase ngitsi: “Maye mine!
Kufana nekutsi ngifile,*Ngobe ngingumuntfu lonetindzebe letingcolile,Nebantfu lengiphila nabo banetindzebe letingcolile;+Ngobe emehlo ami ayibonile iNkhosi, Jehova wemabutfo lucobo lwakhe!”
6 Nangicedza kusho njalo, lelinye liserafi landiza leta kimi liphetse lilahle lelivutsako+ lebelilitsetse ngeludlawu e-al’thare.+
7 Langitsintsa umlomo lase litsi:
“Loku sekutsintse tindzebe takho.
Licala lakho selesuliwe,Nesono sakho sesihlawulelwe.”
8 Ngase ngiva livi laJehova litsi: “Ngitawutfuma bani, ngubani lotasiyela?”+ Ngaphendvula ngatsi: “Nangu mine! Tfuma mine!”+
9 Yena wase utsi: “Hamba ufike utsi kulabantfu:
‘Nitawuva tikhatsi letinyenti,Kodvwa angeke nicondze;Nitawubona tikhatsi letinyenti,Kodvwa angeke nati lutfo.’+
10 Yenta inhlitiyo yalabantfu inganaki,+Yenta tindlebe tabo tingalaleli,+Uvale nemehlo abo,Kuze bangaboni ngemehlo aboFutsi bangeva ngetindlebe tabo,Kuze inhlitiyo yabo ingacondziBangatoshintja bese bayaphiliswa.”+
11 Nangiva loko, ngatsi: “Awu Jehova, kutawuze kube ngunini?” Yena watsi:
“Kutawuze kube ngulapho lamadolobha asabhujisiwe, angasahlali muntfuNaletindlu tingasahlali muntfuNalelive selitindzala futsi selishiyiwe;+
12 Kuze kube ngulapho Jehova asabakhweshisele khashane kakhulu labantfu+Nendzawo lenkhulu yalelive seyisele ingenalutfo.
13 “Kodvwa kubantfu baka-Israyeli kutawusala munye kulabangu-10, futsi lelive litawuphindze lishiswe njengesihlahla lesikhulu nanjengem-okhi, lokutawutsi nasekujutjiwe, kusale siphunti; inhlanyelo lengcwele itawuba siphunti sayo.”
