U-Isaya 50

1 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ingaphi incwadi kanyoko yokuchitha umtshado engamxotsha ngayo na? Kumbe nguphi kwababelezikwelede zami engamthengisayo na? Lathengiswa ngenxa yezono zenu, lonyoko waliwa ngenxa yokona kwenu.

Thus - he says Yahweh where? this [is] [the] document of [the] divorce of mother your which I sent away her or who? [is one] of creditors my whom I sold you to him here! for iniquities your you were sold and for transgressions your she was sent away mother your.

2 Ekufikeni kwami, kungani kwakungelamuntu na? Ekubizeni kwami, kungani kungekho muntu owasabelayo na? Ingalo yami yayimfitshane kakhulu ukuba ilihlenge na? Angilamandla okulikhulula na? Ngokukhuza nje kuphela, ngiyalomisa ulwandle, ngiphendule imifula ibe yinkangala; inhlanzi zayo zibole ngenxa yokuswela amanzi, zife ngenxa yokoma.

Why? did I come and there not [was] anyone did I call? and there not [was one who] answered ¿ really was it [too] short hand my for ransom and or? [was] there not in me strength to deliver here! by rebuke my I dry up [the] sea I make rivers a wilderness it will stink fish their from not water and it will die by thirst.

3 Ngembathisa umkhathi ngomnyama. Ngenze amasaka abe yisembeso sawo.”

I clothe [the] heavens darkness and sackcloth I make covering their.

4 UThixo wobukhosi unginike ulimi olufundisiweyo ukuba ngazi ilizwi lokuqinisa abadiniweyo. Uyangivusa ekuseni kwansukuzonke, avuse indlebe yami ukuba ilalele njengofundiswayo.

[the] Lord Yahweh he has given to me a tongue of disciples to know to help [the] weary a word he awakens - in the morning in the morning he awakens of me ear to hear like disciples.

5 UThixo Wobukhosi uvule indlebe zami, njalo angizange ngibe ngohlamukayo; angibuyelanga emuva.

[the] Lord Yahweh he has opened of me ear and I not I have been rebellious backwards not I have turned back.

6 Nganikela umhlana wami kulabo ababengitshaya, lezihlathi zami kulabo abacutha indevu zami; ubuso bami angibufihlanga ekugconweni lekukhafulelweni.

Back my I gave to [those who] struck [it] and cheeks my to [those who] made [them] bare face my not I hid from insults and spittle.

7 Ngenxa yokuthi uThixo Wobukhosi uyangisiza angiyikuyangeka. Ngakho-ke sengiqinise ubuso bami babanjengelitshe lomlilo; njalo ngiyazi ukuthi angiyikuyangeka.

And [the] Lord Yahweh he helps me there-fore not I have been humiliated there-fore I have made face my like flint and I have perceived that not I will be put to shame.

8 Lowo ongimelayo useduzane. Ngubani-ke ongangethesa amacala? Kasiqondane. Ngubani ongimangalelayo na? Kangiqonde!

[is] near [the one who] justifies Me who? will he contend with me let us stand together who? [is] [the] master of case my let him draw near to me.

9 NguThixo Wobukhosi ongisizayo. Ngubani lowo ongathi ngilecala na? Bonke bazaguga njengesigqoko, inondo izabadla.

Here! [the] Lord Yahweh he helps me who? he will he condemn as guilty me there! all of them like garment they will wear out moth it will eat them.

10 Ngubani phakathi kwenu omesabayo uThixo elalela ilizwi lenceku yakhe na? Lowo ohamba emnyameni, ongelakho ukukhanya, kathembe ebizweni likaThixo abambelele kuThixo wakhe.

Who? among you [is] fearing Yahweh [is] listening to [the] voice of servant his [the one] who - he has walked darkness and not brightness [belongs] to him let him trust in [the] name of Yahweh and let him depend on God his.

11 Kodwa khathesi, lonke lina eliphemba imililo lizenzele amalangabi okukhanyisa, sukani, lihambe ekukhanyeni kwemililo yenu, lokwezibane elizikhanyisileyo. Elizakwamukela esandleni sami yilokhu: Lizalala phansi lisebuhlungwini.

Here! O all of you [who] kindle a fire [who] gird on firebrands walk - by [the] light of fire your and with [the] firebrands [which] you have kindled from hand my it will belong this to you to pain you will lie down!
