Isaya 64:1-12
64 Kube mane nje bewungadzabula emazulu ekhatsi bese uyehlaKuze kunyakate tintsaba ngenca yakho,
2 Njengalapho umlilo ulumeka tinsaba,Futsi ubilisa emanti.
Titsa takho betiyawubese tiyalati libito lakho,Netive betiyawuchachatela embikwakho.
3 Ngesikhatsi wenta tintfo letimangalisako lebesingakaze sibe nelitsemba lekutsi titakwenteka,+Wena wehla kwanyakata tintsaba embikwakho.+
4 Kusukela kadzeni kute loweva nobe lowabeka indlebe,Futsi kute liso lelabona lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho,Wena lobasitako labo labahlala balindzele yena.*+
5 Wena uhlangene nalabo labatsandza kwenta lokuhle,+Labo labakukhumbulako futsi labahamba etindleleni takho.
Wena watfukutsela ngesikhatsi sichubeka sona,+Sakwenta sikhatsi lesidze loko.
Kufanele yini nyalo sisindziswe?
6 Sonkhe sesifanana nemuntfu longcolile,Futsi tonkhe tento tetfu tekulunga tifana nesicephu semfati losesikhatsini.+
Sonkhe sitawubuna njengelicembe,Nemaphutsa etfu atasiphephula njengemoya.
7 Kute lobita libito lakho,Kute lowetama kufuna lusito lwakho,Ngobe wena usifihlele buso bakho,+Futsi ubangela kutsi sondze ngenca yeliphutsa letfu.
8 Kodvwa wena, awu Jehova, unguBabe wetfu.+
Tsine silubumba futsi wena unguMbumbi wetfu;+Sonkhe singumsebenti wesandla sakho.
9 Awu Jehova, ungasitfukutseleli kakhulu,+Futsi ungawakhumbuli emaphutsa etfu kuze kube phakadze.
Sicela usinake ngobe sonkhe sibantfu bakho.
10 Emadolobha akho langcwele agucuke aba lihlane.
ISiyoni seyigucuke yaba lihlane,IJerusalema yaba yindzawo lengenalutfo.+
11 Indlu* yetfu yebungcwele neyenkhatimulo,*Lapho bokhokho betfu bebakudvumisela khona,Seyishiswe ngemlilo+Futsi tonkhe tintfo lebesititsandza setibhujisiwe.
12 Awu Jehova, ngemuva kwako konkhe loku, utawuchubeka yini utibambile?
Utawuchubeka yini ubindzile futsi usiyekele sihlupheke kabuhlungu kanjena?+
