Isaiah, Chapter 26

1. Ngaloo mini kuya kuvunywa le ngoma ezweni lakwaYuda, ithi, Yinqaba umzi wethu thina; umisa iidonga nongqameko zibe lusindiso.    2. Vulani amasango, lungene uhlanga olunobulungisa, olugcine ukuthembeka.    3. Intliziyo ezimasekileyo uyayilondoloza, ixole ixolile; ngokuba ikholose ngawe.    4. Kholosani ngoYehova ngonaphakade; kuba uYa, uYehova, uliliwa elingunaphakade.    5. Ngokuba uthulele phantsi abahleli phezulu; umzi oyingxonde uwugungxule wawugungxulela emhlabeni, wawufikisa eluthulini.    6. Ziyawunyasha iinyawo, iinyawo zeentsizana, amanyathelo ezisweli.    7. Umendo wamalungisa ulungelelene; wena uyawulinganisela umkhondo wamalungisa, ulungelelane.    8. Kakade, Yehova, sibe sikulindile, ukuba uze emendweni wemigwebo yakho; umnqweno womphefumlo wethu wasinga egameni lakho, nasekukukhumbuleni.    9. Nangomphefumlo wam ndakunqwenela ebusuku; inene, ngomoya wam phakathi kwam ndakufuna kwakusasa; ngokuba xenikweni imigwebo yakho ibhekiswe ehlabathini, baya kufunda ubulungisa abemi belimiweyo.    10. Nokuba uthe wababalwa ongendawo, akafundi bulungisa; nasezweni labathe gca uyagqwetha; akabuboni ubungangamsha bukaYehova.    11. Yehova, sibe siphakamile isandla sakho, ababona; ke baya kulibona ikhwele lakho ngenxa yabantu, badane; ewe, umlilo mawubadle ababandezeli bakho.    12. Yehova, uya kusimisela uxolo; ngokuba nezenzo zethu zonke usisebenzele.    13. Yehova Thixo wethu, iinkosi ezingenguwe bezinobukhosi phezu kwethu; kodwa sikhankanya igama lakho ngawe wedwa.    14. Abafileyo abo abasayi kuba saphila; abangasekhoyo abo abasayi kuba savuka; ngoko ke ubavelele wabatshabalalisa, wakwenza kwadaka konke ukukhunjulwa kwabo.    15. Ulwandisile uhlanga, Yehova, ulwandisile uhlanga; uzizukisile; uzikhwelelisele kude iziphelo zelizwe.    16. Yehova, embandezelweni baquqela kuwe, bathulula umthandazo ngelizwi eliphantsi ekubathethiseni kwakho.    17. Njengomithiyo eza kuzala, ezibhijabhija, ekhaliswa yinimba, saba njalo phambi kwakho, Yehova.    18. Sibe simithi, sibe sizibhijabhija, sanga sizele umoya. Asilenzelanga sindiso ilizwe, abaphumanga abemi belimiweyo.    19. Abafileyo bakho baya kuphila; izidumbu zakowethu ziya kuvuka. Vukani, nimemelele, nina bahleli eluthulini; kuba ngumbethe wezikhanyiso umbethe wakho, nehlabathi liya kubakhupha abangasekhoyo.    20. Hambani, bantu bam, ningene ezingontsini zenu, nivale iingcango zenu ngasemva kwenu, nizimele umzuzwana, kude kudlule ukubhavuma.    21. Kuba, yabona, uYehova uphuma endaweni yakhe, ukuze abuvelele kubo ubugwenxa babemi behlabathi; ihlabathi lowatyhila amagazi alo, lingabi sabaselela ababuleweyo balo.
