Isaiah 59
1 look! not be short hand: power LORD from to save and not to honor: dull ear his from to hear: hear
Ngeqiniso ingalo kaThixo kayimfitshane ukuba isindise, lendlebe yakhe kayibuthundu ukuba izwe.
2 that if: except if: except iniquity: crime your to be to separate between you to/for between God your and sin your to hide face from you from to hear: hear
Kodwa ububi benu sebulahlukanise loNkulunkulu wenu; lezono zenu sezisithe ubuso bakhe kini ukuze angezwa.
3 for palm your to defile in/on/with blood and finger your in/on/with iniquity: crime lips your to speak: speak deception tongue your injustice to mutter
Ngoba izandla zenu zingcolisiwe ngegazi, leminwe yenu ingcoliswe yibubi. Izindebe zenu zikhulume amanga lolimi lwenu luhlebeza izinto ezimbi.
4 nothing to call: call to in/on/with righteousness and nothing to judge in/on/with faithfulness to trust upon formlessness and to speak: speak vanity: false to conceive trouble and to beget evil: wickedness
Kakho odinga ukwahlulela okuhle, kakho okhuluma ecaleni lakhe ngobuqotho. Bathembe ukuphika ngeze bekhuluma amanga; bemula uhlupho, bazale ububi.

Bachamisela amaqanda ezinhlangwana, beluke ubulembu besayobe. Langabe ngubani odla amaqanda azo uzakufa, njalo nxa elinye lawo lichanyiselwe kuphuma ibululu.
6 web their not to be to/for garment and not to cover in/on/with deed: work their deed: work their deed: work evil: wickedness and work violence in/on/with palm their

7 foot their to/for bad: evil to run: run and to hasten to/for to pour: kill blood innocent plot their plot evil: wickedness violence and breaking in/on/with highway their
Inyawo zabo zigijimela ukona; bayaphangisa ukuchitha igazi elimsulwa. Imicabango yabo yimicabango emibi; ukuchitha lokubhubhisa kubonakalisa izindlela zabo.
8 way: conduct peace not to know and nothing justice in/on/with track their path their to twist to/for them all to tread in/on/with her not to know peace
Indlela yokuthula kabayazi; akukho kulunga ezindleleni zabo. Sebenze zaba yimigwaqo ezombelezayo, kakho ohamba ngazo ozakwazi ukuthula.
9 upon so to remove justice from us and not to overtake us righteousness to await to/for light and behold darkness to/for brightness in/on/with darkness to go: walk
Ngakho-ke ukwahlulela okuhle kukhatshana lathi, lokulunga akufiki kithi. Sidinga ukukhanya, kodwa kulobumnyama kuphela; sidinga ukucazimula, kodwa sihamba emathunzini amnyama.
10 to grope like/as blind wall and like/as nothing eye to grope to stumble in/on/with midday like/as twilight in/on/with strong like/as to die
Njengeziphofu siphumputha silandela umduli, siphumputhe indlela yethu njengabantu abangelamehlo. Sikhubeka emini ingathi kukusihlwa; kwabalamandla, sinjengabafileyo.
11 to roar like/as bear all our and like/as dove to mutter to mutter to await to/for justice and nothing to/for salvation to remove from us
Sonke siyahwabha njengamabhele, sibubule ngosizi njengamajuba. Sidinga ukwahlulela okuhle, kodwa kasikutholi; sidinga ukuhlengwa, kodwa kukhatshana.
12 for to multiply transgression our before you and sin our to answer in/on/with us for transgression our with us and iniquity: crime our to know them
Ngoba ukona kwethu kuwe kunengi, lezono zethu zifakaza okubi ngathi. Ukona kwethu kuhlezi kulathi; siyabuvuma ububi bethu,
13 to transgress and to deceive in/on/with LORD and to remove from after God our to speak: speak oppression and revolt to conceive and to mutter from heart word deception
ukuhlamuka lokungathembeki kuThixo, ukufulathela uNkulunkulu wethu, ukukhuthaza uncindezelo lomvukela, ukukhuluma amanga esiwacabange ngezinhliziyo zethu.
14 and to remove back justice and righteousness from distant to stand: stand for to stumble in/on/with street/plaza truth: true and upright not be able to/for to come (in): come
Ngakho ukwahlulela okuhle kufuqelwa emuva, ukulunga kume khatshana; iqiniso likhubekile ezindleleni, ubuqotho bungeke bungene.
15 and to be [the] truth: true to lack and to turn aside: depart from bad: evil to loot and to see: see LORD and be evil in/on/with eye: appearance his for nothing justice

16 and to see: see for nothing man: anyone and be desolate: appalled for nothing to fall on and to save to/for him arm his and righteousness his he/she/it to support him
Wabona ukuthi kwakungelamuntu, wanengwa yikuthi kakho owayengalamula; ngakho waletha ukukhululwa ngamandla akhe, ukulunga kwakhe kwamqinisa.
17 and to clothe righteousness like/as armor and helmet salvation in/on/with head his and to clothe garment vengeance clothing and to enwrap like/as robe jealousy
Wagqoka ukulunga njengesivikelo sakhe sasesifubeni, lengowane yensindiso ekhanda lakhe; wagqoka izembatho zokuphindisela njalo wazigoqela ngokutshiseka njengokuzigoqela ngengubo.
18 like/as upon recompense like/as upon to complete rage to/for enemy his recompense to/for enemy his to/for coastland recompense to complete

19 and to fear: revere from west [obj] name LORD and from east sun [obj] glory his for to come (in): come like/as river narrow spirit: breath LORD to flee in/on/with him

21 and I this covenant my with them to say LORD spirit my which upon you and word my which to set: put in/on/with lip your not to remove from lip your and from lip seed: children your and from lip seed: children seed: children your to say LORD from now and till forever: enduring
“Mina lesi yiso isivumelwano sami labo,” kutsho uThixo. “Umoya wami okuwe, lamazwi ami engiwabeke emlonyeni wakho akuyikusuka emlonyeni wakho, kumbe emilonyeni yabantwabakho, loba emilonyeni yezizukulwane zabo kusukela ngalesisikhathi kuze kube nininini,” kutsho uThixo.
