U-Isaya 50

1 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ingaphi incwadi yesehlukaniso kanyoko engamlahla ngayo? Loba ngubani kubakweledisi bami engilithengise kuye? Khangelani, lathengiswa ngenxa yobubi benu, langenxa yeziphambeko zenu unyoko walahlwa.

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 Kungani ekufikeni kwami kwakungelamuntu? Ngibiza, kodwa engekho ophendulayo? Isandla sami sifinyeziwe lokufinyezwa yini ukuthi singehlenge? Kumbe kakulamandla kimi okukhulula yini? Khangela ngokukhuza kwami ngomisa ulwandle, ngenza imifula ibe yinkangala; izinhlanzi zayo zibe levumba ngoba kungelamanzi, 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 Ngigqokisa amazulu ngobumnyama, ngenze isaka libe yisembeso sawo.

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

4 INkosi uJehova inginike ulimi lwabafundileyo, ukuze ngazi ukukhuluma ilizwi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo kokhatheleyo. Iyavuka ukusa ngokusa; ivusa indlebe yami, ukuze ngizwe njengabafundileyo.

[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 INkosi uJehova ivule indlebe yami, njalo mina kangibanga lenkani, kangibuyelanga emuva.

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

6 Nganika umhlana wami kubatshayi, lezihlathi zami kulabo abacutha indevu; kangifihlanga ubuso bami ehlazweni elikhulu lamathe.

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 Ngoba iNkosi uJehova izangisiza; ngakho-ke kangiyangiswa; ngakho-ke ngimise ubuso bami njengensengetshe, njalo ngiyazi ukuthi kangiyikuyangeka.

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 Useduze yena ongilungisisayo. Ngubani ongalwisana lami? Kasime ndawonye. Ngubani ummangaleli wami? Kasondele kimi.

[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 Khangela, iNkosi uJehova izangisiza; ngubani ozangilahla? Khangela, bonke bazaguga njengesembatho; inundu 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 oyesabayo iNkosi, olalela ilizwi lenceku yayo, ohamba emnyameni, njalo engelakukhanya? Kathembele ebizweni leNkosi, eyame kuNkulunkulu 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 Khangelani, lina lonke eliphemba umlilo, elizigombolozela ngenhlansi: Hambani ekukhanyeni komlilo wenu, lenhlansini elizibasileyo. Lokhu kuzakwenzakala kini kuvela esandleni sami; lizalala phansi ngobuhlungu.

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!
