Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bayaduduzwa
40Duduzani, liduduze abantu bamia, utsho uNkulunkulu wenu. 2 Khulumani kunhliziyo yeJerusalema, limemeze kuyo ukuthi imfazo yayo iphelelisiwe, ukuthi ububi bayo buthethelelwe, ngoba yemukele esandleni seNkosi okuphindwe kabili ngazo zonke izono zayob.
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo ehlanec lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosid, lenzele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo omkhulue oqondileyo enkangala. 4 Sonke isigodi sizaphakanyiswaf, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswag; lokugobileyoh kuzakwenziwa kuqonde, lendawo ezimaxhakaxhaka zibe ligceke. 5 Inkazimuloi yeNkosi izabonakaliswa, layo yonke inyamaj iyibone kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo weNkosi ukhulumilek. 6 Ilizwi lathi: Memeza! Wasesithi: Ngizamemeza ngithini? Yonke inyamal ibutshanimn, labo bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengeluba legangaop. 7 Utshani buyabunaqr, iluba liyawohlokas, ngoba uMoya weNkosit uphephetha kukho; isibili abantuu babutshaniv. 8 Utshani buyabuna, iluba liyawohlokaw; kodwax ilizwi likaNkulunkulu wethu limi kuze kube nini laniniy.
9 Wena Ziyoni, oletha izindaba ezinhle, khwela entabeni ende; wena Jerusalema, oletha izindaba ezinhle, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngamandla, liphakamise ungesabi; tshono emizini yakoJuda uthi: Khangelani, uNkulunkulu wenu. 10 Khangela, iNkosi uJehova izakuza ngamandlaz, lengalo yayo izayibuselaa; khangelab, umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayoc. 11 Izakwelusa umhlambi wayo njengomeluside, izabuthaf amawundlug ngengalo yayo, iwathwale esifubeni sayoh, ikhokhele kuhlei ezimunyisayo.
Ngubani onjengoNkulunkulu?
12 Ngubani olinganise amanzij entendeni yesandla sakhe, walinganisa amazuluk ngeminwe eyeluliweyo, wahlanganisa uthuli lomhlaba esilinganisweni, walinganisa izintaba ngesikalil, lamaqaqa ngesilinganisom? 13 Ngubanin oqondise uMoya weNkosio, kumbe wamfundisa engumeluleki wakhe? 14 Yelulekane lobani, owayenza yaqedisisa, wayifundisa endleleni yesahlulelo, wayifundisa ulwazip, wayazisa indlela yokuqedisisa? 15 Khangela, izizwe zinjengethonsi lenkonxa, zibalwa njengothuli lwesikali. Khangela, uphakamisa izihlengeq njengento encinyane kakhulur. 16 LeLebhanoni kayeneli ukutshas, lenyamazanat zayo kazeneli umnikelo wokutshiswa. 17 Zonke izizwe zinjengezingasiluthouv phambi kwayo, zibalwaw kuyo zincinyane kulokungeluthox lokuyizey.
18 Pho, lizamfananisa lobani uNkulunkuluz, loba mfanekiso bani elizamlinganisa lawo? 19 Ingcitshi incibilikisa isithombe esibaziweyoa, lomkhandi wegolideb uyasinameka ngegolidec, abumbe ngokuncibilikisa amaketane esiliva. 20 Lowo ongumyanga ongelamnikelo ukhetha isihlahla esingaboliyo, azidingele umbazi oyingcitshi ukuze alungise isithombe esingayikunyikinywad.
21 Kalazi yinie? Kalizwanga yini? Kalitshelwanga yini kwasekuqaleni? Kaliqedisisanga yini kwasekusekelweni komhlabaf? 22 Kunguye ohlala phezu kwesigombolozi somhlabag, labahlali bawo banjengentetheh; owendlala amazului njengekhethenij, awelule njengethente lokuhlala; 23 owenza iziphathamandlak zingabi yiluthol, enze abehluleli bomhlaba babe njengezem. 24 Yebo, kabayikugxunyekwa; yebo, kabayikuhlanyelwa; yebo, isiqu sabo kasiyikugxila emhlabathinin; laye uzaphephetha phezu kwabo, babune; lesivunguzane sibasuse njengamabibio.
25 Pho, lizangifananisa lobanipq, engizafanana layer? kutsho oNgcwele. 26 Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulus, libone odale lezizinto; okhipha ibutho lazo ngenanit; azibize zonke ngamabizou ngobukhulu bamandla akhev, ngoba eqinile emandleni; kayikho leyodwa esilelayow.
27 Utsholoni, wena Jakobe, ukhulume, wena Israyeli ukuthi: Indlela yami isithekile eNkosinix lesahlulelo samiy sedlulisiwe nguNkulunkulu wami? 28 Kawazi yiniz, kawukezwa yinia? UNkulunkulu olaphakade, iNkosi, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba kapheli amandla njalo kadinwa? Kakuphenyeki ukuqedisisa kwakhebc. 29 Inika abadangeleyo amandla, lakwabangaqinanga yandisa amandla. 30 Labatsha bazaphelelwa ngamandla, badinwe, lamajaha azakuwa lokuwa; 31 kodwa abalindela iNkosi bazavuselela amandlade; bazaqonga ngempiko njengenkozifg, bagijime bangadinwa, bahambe bangapheli amandla.
