U-Isaya 14 : 1 – 32
1 Ngokuba uJehova uyakuhawukela uJakobe, abuye amkhethe u-Israyeli, abahlalise ezweni labo; abafokazi bayakuhlangana nabo, banamathele endlini kaJakobe.
2 Abantu bayakubathatha, babayise endaweni yabo; indlu ka-Israyeli iyakubadla ezweni likaJehova njengezinceku nezincekukazi; futhi bayobusa phezu kwabacindezeli babo.
3 Kuyakuthi ngosuku uJehova aniphumuze ngalo osizini lwakho, nasekwesabeni kwakho, nasebugqileni obunzima obukhonzwe ngabo,
4 niphakamise lesi saga ngenkosi yaseBabele nithi: ‘Yeka ukuthi uphelile kanjani umcindezeli! umuzi wegolide umile!
5 UJehova uyaphule intonga yababi kanye nentonga yobukhosi yababusi.
6 Owashaya abantu ngokuthukuthela ngokushaywa njalo, owabusa izizwe ngolaka, uyazingelwa, akavinjwa muntu.
7 Umhlaba wonke uyaphumula, uthule; baqhume bejabula.
8 Yebo, imisayipuresi iyajabula ngawe, nemisedari yaseLebanoni, ithi: ‘Selokhu walalisa phansi, akakho umgundi okhuphukele kithi.
9 Isihogo esingaphansi silungiselelwe wena ukuba sikuhlangabeze ekufikeni kwakho; kwabangela ukuba wonke amakhosi ezizwe aphakame ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi.
10 Bazakhuluma bonke, bathi kuwe: Lawe usubuthakathaka njengathi yini? usufana nathi?
11 Ubukhazikhazi bakho behlele eHayidesi, nomsindo wezingubhu zakho;
12 Wawa kanjani ezulwini, wena Lusifa, ndodana yokusa! unqunyulwe phansi kanjani, wena othuya izizwe!
13 Ngoba wena wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngithanda ukukhuphukela ezulwini, ngizaphakamisa isihlalo sami sobukhosi phezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngiyakuhlala entabeni yokuhlangana, emagumbini akude asenyakatho.
14 Ngiyakwenyukela ngaphezu kweziqongo zamafu; ngizofana noPhezukonke.
15 Nokho uyakwehliselwa endaweni yabafileyo, ekugcineni komgodi.
16 Abakubonayo bayakukubheka, bakubuke, bathi: ‘Nguye lo muntu owazamazamisa umhlaba, owenza imibuso ithuthumele na?
17 owenza izwe libe njengehlane wachitha imizi yalo; ongayivulanga indlu yeziboshwa zakhe?
18 Wonke amakhosi ezizwe, wonke alele enkazimulweni, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe.
19 Kepha wena ulahliwe ethuneni lakho njengehlumela elinengekayo, nanjengezingubo zababulewe, abagwazwe ngenkemba, behlela ematsheni omgodi; inyathelwe phansi njengesidumbu.
20 Awunakuhlanganiswa nabo ekumbelweni, ngokuba uchithile izwe lakho, wabulala abantu bakho; inzalo yabenzi bokubi ayisoze yaziwe.
21 Lungiselelani abantwana bakhe ukuhlaba ngenxa yobubi bawoyise; funa bavuke badle izwe, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngemizi.
22 Ngokuba ngiyakubavukela, usho uJehova Sebawoti, nginqume eBabele igama, nensali, nendodana, nomshana, isho iNkosi.
23 Ngiyakuyenza ibe yifa lamagxolo ababayo namachibi amanzi; futhi ngokuqinisekile ngiyolishanela kanye nesilo esibhubhisayo,” kusho uJehova Sebawoti.
24 UJehova Sebawoti wafunga wathi: “Impela njengokucabanga kwami kuyakuba njalo; njengalokho ngihlosile, kuyakuma kanjalo;
25 ukuthi ngiyakwephula umAsiriya ezweni lami, ngimnyathele ezintabeni zami; khona ijoka lakhe liyakumuka kubo, nomthwalo wakhe emahlombe abo.
26 Lesi yisinqumo esinqunyiwe emhlabeni wonke; yilesi isandla eselulelwe phezu kwezizwe zonke.
27 Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti ukuhlosile, ngubani oyakuchitha na? nesandla sakhe seluliwe, ngubani ongasibuyisela emuva?
28 Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u-Ahazi kwaba lomthwalo.
29 Ungathokozi, Phalestina lonke, ngokuba udondolo lwalowo owakushaya lwaphukile; ngokuba empandeni yenyoka kuyakuphuma isihlahla seqhude, nesithelo saso sibe yinyoka evuthayo endizayo.
30 Amazibulo abampofu ayakudla, nabampofu bayakulala belondekile; ngiyakubulala impande yakho ngendlala, abulale insali yakho.
31 Hewula wena sango! biza, muzi! wena, lonke iPhalestine, ubhubhile, ngoba kuyovela umusi uvela enyakatho, futhi akekho oyoba yedwa ngezikhathi zakhe ezimisiwe.
32 Khona-ke izithunywa zesizwe ziyoziphendula zithini? Ukuthi uJehova umisile iSiyoni, futhi abampofu babantu bakhe bayothembela kulo.

4 Ukuganana makuhlonishwe yibo bonke, nombhede ungabi nasisihla, kepha izifebe neziphingi uNkulunkulu uyakuzahlulela.

6 Ukuze singasho ngesibindi sithi: INkosi ingumsizi wami, angesabi umuntu angangenzani.
7 Khumbulani abaniholayo, abakhulume izwi likaNkulunkulu kini, niqonda ukuphela kokuhamba kwabo, nilingise ukukholwa kwabo.

36 Omunye wabaFarisi wamcela ukuthi adle laye. Wangena endlini yomFarisi, wahlala ekudleni.
37 Bheka, owesifazane emzini, oyisoni, ekwazi ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ekudleni endlini yomFarisi, waletha umfuma wealabhaste wamafutha.
38 Wema ngasezinyaweni zakhe emva kwakhe ekhala, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe, wanga izinyawo zakhe, wazigcoba ngamafutha.
39 Kwathi ekubona lokho umFarisi owayembizile, wakhuluma phakathi kwakhe, wathi: “Lona, ukuba ubengumprofethi, ngabe uyazi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi unjani owesifazane omthintayo, ngokuba uyisoni.
40 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Simoni, ngilelizwi kuwe. Wathi: “Khuluma, Mfundisi.
41 Kwakukhona umtshelekisi othile owayenezikweletu ezimbili;
42 Kwathi bengenanto yokukhokha, wabathethelela bobabili. Ngitshele-ke, yimuphi kubo oyakumthanda kakhulu na?
43 USimoni waphendula wathi: Ngithi ngulowo amthethelela kakhulu. Wathi kuye: Wahlulele kahle.
44 Wayesephendukela kowesifazane, wathi kuSimoni: Uyambona lona wesifazane? Ngingene endlini yakho, awunginikanga amanzi ezinyawo zami, kepha yena uzigezile izinyawo zami ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe.
45 Awunganganga, kepha lona wesifazane, selokhu ngingenile, akayekanga ukwanga izinyawo zami.
46 Ikhanda lami awuligcobanga ngamafutha, kepha lona wesifazane ugcobe izinyawo zami ngamafutha.
47 Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe; ngokuba wayethanda kakhulu, kepha othethelelwa okuncane, uthanda kancane.
48 Wathi kuye: “Izono zakho zithethelelwe.
49 Labo ababehlezi naye ekudleni baqala ukukhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Ngubani lo othethelela nezono na?
50 Wathi kowesifazane: “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
