U-Isaya 10

¹Maye kulabo abenza imithetho emibi,

²ukuba kwamukwe abayanga amalungelo abo

³Lizakwenzani ngosuku lokuthonisiswa

⁴Akukho okuzasala, kodwa ukuba baquthe phakathi kwabathunjiweyo

⁵“Maye kumʼAsiriya, intonga yentukuthelo yami,

⁶Ngimthumela ukuyamelana lesizwe esingelankulunkulu,

⁷Kodwa lokhu akusikho akujongileyo,

⁸Uthi, ‘Izinduna zami zebutho kazisimakhosi zonke na?

⁹IKhalino kaliphumelelanga njengeKharikhemishi na?

¹⁰Lanjengoba isandla sami sabamba imibuso yezithombe,

¹¹angiyikuliphatha iJerusalema lezithombe zalo

¹²Lapho uThixo esewuqedile wonke umsebenzi wakhe mayelana lentaba iZiyoni leJerusalema uzakuthi, “Ngizayijezisa inkosi yase-Asiriya ngenxa yokuzigqaja kwayo lokuzazisa okubonakala emehlweni ayo.”

¹³Ngoba uthi:

¹⁴Njengomuntu efinyelela isidleke senyoni,

¹⁵Konje ihloka liyaziphakamisela ngaphezu kwalowo olizulisayo na,

¹⁶Ngakho-ke, iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla,

¹⁷Ukukhanya kuka-Israyeli kuzakuba ngumlilo,

¹⁸Ubuhle bamahlathi akhe lamasimu akhe avundileyo,

¹⁹Izihlahla zamahlathi ezisalayo zizakuba zilutshwana,

²⁰Ngalolosuku insalela yako-Israyeli,

²¹Insalela izabuyela, insalela kaJakhobe

²²Loba abantu bakho, we Israyeli, benjengetshebetshebe olwandle,

²³INkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uzasifeza isimemezelo

²⁴Ngakho-ke lokho yikho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla akutshoyo:

²⁵Masinyane ukulithukuthelela kwami kuzaphela,

²⁶UThixo uSomandla uzabatshaya ngomchilo

²⁷Ngalolosuku imithwalo yabo izasuswa emahlombe enu,

²⁸Bayangena e-Ayathi;

²⁹Badlula emkhandlwini bathi,

³⁰Hlaba umkhosi, We! Ndodakazi kaGalimi,

³¹IMadimena iyabaleka;

³²Ngalolosuku bazakuma kancane, kancane eNobhi,

³³Khangelani, iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla,

³⁴Ngehloka uzagamula izixuku zehlathi;
