U-Isaya 32:1-20
32 Khangelani! Inkosi+ izabusa ngokulunga,+Labakhokheli abazabusa bazakwahlulela kuhle.
2 Ngamunye uzakuba njengendawo yokucatshela umoya,Abe yisiphephelo sokucatshela* izulu elina ngamandla,Njengezifula zamanzi elizweni elingelamanzi,+Lanjengomthunzi wedwala elikhulu elizweni elomileyo.
3 Amehlo alabo ababonayo kawasoze avalwe,Lendlebe zabezwayo zizalalelisisa.
4 Inhliziyo zabalamawala zizacabangisisa ngolwazi,Labagagasayo* bazakhuluma kuhle ngendlela ecacileyo.+
5 Umuntu ongelangqondo kasayikubizwa ngokuthi uyaphana,Lomuntu oxhwalileyo kasoze abizwe ngokuthi ungumhlonitshwa,
6 Ongelangqondo uzakhuluma izinto ezingaqedakaliyo,Inhliziyo yakhe izabumba amacebo ayingozi,+Ukuze akhuthaze ukuhlamuka* futhi akhulume kubi ngoJehova,Enze olambileyo angatholi ukudlaLowomileyo angatholi okokunatha.
7 Amacebo omuntu oxhwalileyo mabi,+Ukhuthaza ukuziphatha okulihlazo ngokukhuluma amanga+Ukuze achithe ohluphekayo,Lanxa ongumyanga ekhuluma okuqondileyo.
8 Kodwa ophanayo uyahlela ukupha abanye izinto,Njalo uqhubeka engumuntu ophanayo.
9 “Lina besifazana abanganaki lutho, sukumani lilalele ilizwi lami.
Lina madodakazi angazikhathazi ngalutho+ lalelani engikutshoyo!
10 Kusanda kwedlula umnyaka owodwa nje, lina elingazikhathazi ngalutho lizathuthumela,Ngoba kuzabe kungelasithelo esibuthiweyo nxa ukuvunwa kwamagilebisi sekuphelile.+
11 Qhuqhani lina besifazana abanganaki lutho!
Thuthumelani lina elingazikhathazi ngalutho!
Khululani elikugqokileyo,*Ngamunye athandele isaka ekhalweni.+
12 Tshayani izifuba zenuLikhalele amasimu amahle lezihlahla zamagilebisi ezithelayo.
13 Ngoba umhlabathi wabantu bami uzagcwala ameva lezihlahlakazana zameva;Konke lokhu kuzagcwala kuzo zonke izindlu zokujabula,Khona kanye edolobheni lentokozo.+
14 Inqaba eqinileyo isideliwe,Idolobho elilomsindo selitshiyiwe,+
I-Ofeli+ kanye lenqabayokulinda sekusele kuyindawo ezahlala ingelalutho,Indawo esithandwa ngobabhemi beganga,Esingamadlelo emihlambi,+
15 Kuze kube yisikhathi lapho umoya ovela phezulu uthululelwa kithi,+Lenkangala isiba yisivande,
Lesivande sekuthiwa ligusu.+
16 Ngemva kwalokho ukwahlulela okuhle kuzahlala enkangala,Ukulunga kuhlale esivandeni.+
17 Ukulunga kweqiniso kuzaletha ukuthula.+Isithelo sokulunga kweqiniso sizakuba yikuthula okungapheliyo lokuvikeleka.+
18 Abantu bami bazahlala endaweni elokuthula,Ezindaweni ezivikelekileyo lasezindaweni zokuphumula ezilokuthula.+
19 Kodwa isiqhotho sizatshabalalisa igusu,Idolobho lidilizelwe phansi.
20 Liyathokoza lina elihlanyela inhlanyelo eceleni kwezindawo zonke ezilamanzi,Lina elixotshela* inkunzi lobabhemi.”+
