UIsaya 61

¹UMoya weNkosi uYehova uphezu kwam; ngenxa yokuba uYehova endithambisele ukuba ndishumayeze abalulamileyo iindaba ezilungileyo. Undithume ukubopha abantliziyo zaphukileyo, ukumemeza inkululeko kwabathinjiweyo, ukuvulwa kwamehlo kwabakhonkxiweyo;

²ukumemeza umnyaka wetarhu likaYehova, nomhla wempindezelo yoThixo wethu: ukuthuthuzela bonke abanesijwili;

³ukubamisela abanesijwili baseZiyon, ukubanika isihombo sentloko esikhundleni sothuthu, ioli yemihlali esikhundleni sesijwili, ingubo yendumiso esikhundleni somoya odambayo; ukubizwa kwabo kuthiwe yimiterebhinti yobulungisa, isityalo sikaYehova sokuhomba.

⁴Baya kwakha amanxuwa angunaphakade, bavuse iindawo ezichithakeleyo zangaphambili, bahlaziye imizi engamanxuwa, iindawo ezichithakeleyo zezizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

⁵Baya kuma abasemzini, baluse imihlambi yenu, oonyana bezinye iintlanga babe ngabalimi bomhlaba wenu, nabezidiliya zenu.

⁶Ke nina ukubizwa kwenu, kuya kuthiwa ningababingeleli bakaYehova; kuya kuthiwa kuni, ningabalungiseleli boThixo wethu; niya kudla ubutyebi beentlanga, nindolose ninozuko lwazo.

⁷Esikhundleni sokudana kwenu niya kuzuza okuphindiweyo; esikhundleni sehlazo baya kumemelela ngesahlulo sabo; ngako oko baya kudla ilifa eliphindiweyo ezweni labo, baya kuba novuyo olungunaphakade.

⁸Kuba mna, Yehova, ndithanda okusesikweni, ndikuthiyile ukuphanga ngokugqwetha; ndibanika umvuzo womsebenzi wabo ngenyaniso; ndenza umnqophiso ongunaphakade nabo.

⁹Iya kwaziwa imbewu yabo ezintlangeni, baziwe nabaphume ezibilinini zabo phakathi kwezizwe; bonke abababonayo baya kubazi ukuba bayimbewu ayisikeleleyo uYehova.

¹⁰Ndinemihlali ndanemihlali ngoYehova, umphefumlo wam uya kugcoba ngoThixo wam; kuba endinxibe iingubo zosindiso, endithe wambu ngengubo yokwaleka yobulungisa, njengomyeni ononkontsho ngokombingeleli, nanjengomtshakazi evethe iimpahla zakhe.

¹¹Kuba njengoko ilizwe livelisa izilimo zalo, njengoko umyezo untshulisa intlwayelelo yawo, yenjenjalo iNkosi uYehova ukuntshulisa ubulungisa nendumiso phambi kweentlanga zonke.
