Isaiah, Chapter 31

1. Yeha, abehla baye eYiputa ukuba bancedwe, abayama ngamahashe, abakholosa ngeenqwelo zokulwa, kuba zininzi, nangabamahashe, kuba beqine kunene; abangamnoneleli oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, abangamquqeliyo uYehova!    2. Ulumkile ke naye; uya kuzisa ububi, angawabeki nxamnye amazwi akhe; uya kusukela phezulu kwindlu yabenzi bobubi, nakuncedo lwabasebenza ubutshinga.    3. AmaYiputa angabantu, akaThixo; amahashe awo ayinyama, akamoya; ukuba uYehova angasolula isandla sakhe, wokhubeka umncedi, awe umncedwa, baphele kunye bonke.    4. Ngokuba uYehova utshilo kum ukuthi, Njengokuba ingonyama, nengonyama entsha, isuka igqume phezu kwento eyibambileyo, yakubizelwa ihlokondiba labalusi, ingaloyiki ilizwi labo, ingayilahli ngokuxokozela kwabo: kwangokunjalo uya kuhla uYehova wemikhosi, ukuba ayikhuphele umkhosi intaba yeZiyon nenduli yayo.    5. Njengeentaka zindanda, uya kwenjenjalo uYehova wemikhosi ukuyikhusela iYerusalem, eyikhusela, eyihlangula, eyiconga, eyisiza.    6. Buyelani kulowo nimkileyo kuye ngokunzulu, nyana bakaSirayeli.    7. Ngokuba ngaloo mini baya kucekisa elowo izithixo zakhe zesilivere ezingeni, nezegolide ezingeni, ezinenzele zona izandla zenu, ukuba none ngazo.    8. Wowa uAsiriya likrele elingelelandoda, limdle ikrele elingelelamntu, asabe phambi kwekrele, amadodana akhe afakwe uviko.    9. Ingxondorha yakhe yodlula imke ngokunxunguphala, baqhiphuke umbilini abathetheli bakhe, bemke kwibhanile; utsho uYehova, omlilo useZiyon, oziko liseYerusalem.
