οἱ διψῶντες πορεύεσθε ἐφ’ ὕδωρ καὶ ὅσοι μὴ ἔχετε ἀργύριον βαδίσαντες ἀγοράσατε καὶ πίετε ἄνευ ἀργυρίου καὶ τιμῆς οἴνου καὶ στέαρ
2 Kungani lichitha imali kokungeyisikho kudla, lomtshikatshika wenu kokungenelisiyo? Ngilalelani lokungilalela, lidle okuhle, lomphefumulo wenu kawuzithokozise kokunonileyo.
ἵνα τί τιμᾶσθε ἀργυρίου καὶ τὸν μόχθον ὑμῶν οὐκ εἰς πλησμονήν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ φάγεσθε ἀγαθά καὶ ἐντρυφήσει ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν
3 Thobani indlebe yenu, lize kimi, zwanini, njalo umphefumulo wenu uzaphila; njalo ngizakwenza isivumelwano esilaphakade lani, izisa eziqinisekileyo zikaDavida.
προσέχετε τοῖς ὠτίοις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπακολουθήσατε ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου ἐπακούσατέ μου καὶ ζήσεται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν καὶ διαθήσομαι ὑμῖν διαθήκην αἰώνιον τὰ ὅσια Δαυιδ τὰ πιστά
4 Khangela, ngimnike waba ngumfakazi ebantwini, umkhokheli lomlawuli ebantwini.
ἰδοὺ μαρτύριον ἐν ἔθνεσιν δέδωκα αὐτόν ἄρχοντα καὶ προστάσσοντα ἔθνεσιν
5 Khangela, uzabiza isizwe ongasaziyo, lezizwe ebezingakwazi zizagijimela kuwe, ngenxa yeNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, langoNgcwele kaIsrayeli, ngoba ekudumisile.
ἔθνη ἃ οὐκ ᾔδεισάν σε ἐπικαλέσονταί σε καὶ λαοί οἳ οὐκ ἐπίστανταί σε ἐπὶ σὲ καταφεύξονται ἕνεκεν τοῦ θεοῦ σου τοῦ ἁγίου Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐδόξασέν σε
6 Dingani iNkosi iselokutholwa, ibizeni iseseduze.
ζητήσατε τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐν τῷ εὑρίσκειν αὐτὸν ἐπικαλέσασθε ἡνίκα δ’ ἂν ἐγγίζῃ ὑμῖν
7 Omubi katshiye indlela yakhe, lomuntu ongalunganga imicabango yakhe; kabuyele eNkosini, njalo izakuba lomusa kuye, lakuNkulunkulu wethu, ngoba uzathethelela ngokukhulu.
ἀπολιπέτω ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἄνομος τὰς βουλὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιστραφήτω ἐπὶ κύριον καὶ ἐλεηθήσεται ὅτι ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀφήσει τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν
8 Ngoba imicabango yami kayisiyo imicabango yenu, lendlela zenu kayisizo izindlela zami, itsho iNkosi.
οὐ γάρ εἰσιν αἱ βουλαί μου ὥσπερ αἱ βουλαὶ ὑμῶν οὐδὲ ὥσπερ αἱ ὁδοὶ ὑμῶν αἱ ὁδοί μου λέγει κύριος
9 Ngoba njengoba amazulu ephakeme kulomhlaba, ngokunjalo indlela zami ziphakeme kulendlela zenu, lemicabango yami kulemicabango yenu.
ἀλλ’ ὡς ἀπέχει ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς οὕτως ἀπέχει ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ διανοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς διανοίας μου
10 Ngoba njengalokhu izulu lisehla, leliqhwa elikhithikileyo kuvela emazulwini, kungabuyeli khona, kodwa kuthelela umhlaba, kuwenze ukuthi uthele uhlume, ukuze unike inhlanyelo kumhlanyeli, lokudla kodlayo,
ὡς γὰρ ἐὰν καταβῇ ὑετὸς ἢ χιὼν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἕως ἂν μεθύσῃ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐκτέκῃ καὶ ἐκβλαστήσῃ καὶ δῷ σπέρμα τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἄρτον εἰς βρῶσιν
11 lizakuba njalo ilizwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami; kaliyikubuyela kimi lize, kodwa lizakwenza lokho engikufisayo, liphumelele kulokhu engilithumele khona.
οὕτως ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμά μου ὃ ἐὰν ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἕως ἂν συντελεσθῇ ὅσα ἠθέλησα καὶ εὐοδώσω τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ τὰ ἐντάλματά μου
12 Ngoba lizaphuma ngentokozo, njalo likhokhelwe ngokuthula; izintaba lamaqaqa kuzaqhamuka ngokuhlabela phambi kwenu, lezihlahla zonke zeganga zitshaye izandla.
ἐν γὰρ εὐφροσύνῃ ἐξελεύσεσθε καὶ ἐν χαρᾷ διδαχθήσεσθε τὰ γὰρ ὄρη καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ἐξαλοῦνται προσδεχόμενοι ὑμᾶς ἐν χαρᾷ καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐπικροτήσει τοῖς κλάδοις
13 Endaweni yameva kuzamila ifiri, lendaweni yokhula oluhlabayo kumile imiteli; kuzakuba seNkosini libizo, kube yisibonakaliso esilaphakade esingayikuqunywa.
καὶ ἀντὶ τῆς στοιβῆς ἀναβήσεται κυπάρισσος ἀντὶ δὲ τῆς κονύζης ἀναβήσεται μυρσίνη καὶ ἔσται κύριος εἰς ὄνομα καὶ εἰς σημεῖον αἰώνιον καὶ οὐκ ἐκλείψει
