U-Isaya 62
1 Ngenxa yeZiyoni kangiyikuthula, langenxa yeJerusalema kangiyikuphumula, kuze kuphume ukulunga kwayo njengokukhanya, losindiso lwayo njengesibane esivuthayo.
For [the] sake of Zion not I will be silent and for [the] sake of Jerusalem not I will remain quiet until it will go forth like brightness righteousness its and salvation its like a torch [which] it burns.
2 Labezizwe bazabona ukulunga kwakho, lamakhosi wonke inkazimulo yakho; njalo uzabizwa ngebizo elitsha, umlomo weNkosi ozakutha lona.
And they will see nations righteousness your and all kings glory your and it will be called to you a name new which [the] mouth of Yahweh it will designate it.
3 Njalo uzakuba ngumqhele wobuhle esandleni seNkosi, lomqhele wobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.
And you will be a crown of beauty in [the] hand of Yahweh (and a headdress of *Q(K)*) royalty in [the] palm of God your.
4 Kawusayikuthiwa ngoTshiyiweyo, lelizwe lakho kalisayikuthiwa ngeliLahliweyo; kodwa uzabizwa ngokuthi nguHefiziba, lelizwe lakho ngokuthi yiBhewula; ngoba iNkosi ithokoza ngawe, lelizwe lakho lizakwenda.
Not it will be said of you again abandoned and of land your not it will be said again desolation that to you it will be called Hephzi-bah and to land your married for he delights Yahweh in you and land your it will be married.
5 Ngoba njengejaha lithatha intombi emsulwa, ngokunjalo amadodana akho azakuthatha; lanjengomyeni ethokoza ngomakoti, ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu wakho uzathokoza ngawe.
For he marries a young man a young woman they will marry you sons your and [the] joy of a bridegroom on a bride he will rejoice on you God your.
6 Ngibekile abalindi phezu kwemithangala yakho, Jerusalema, abangayikuthula kokuphela imini yonke lobusuku bonke. Lina elikhumbuza ngeNkosi, lingabi lokuthula,
On walls your O Jerusalem I have appointed watchmen all the day and all the night continually not they will be silent O those [who] cause to remember Yahweh [let] not rest [belong] to you.
7 lingayiphumuzi, ize imise, njalo ize yenze iJerusalema ibe ludumo emhlabeni.
And may not you give rest to him until he will establish and until he will make Jerusalem praise on the earth.
8 INkosi ifungile ngesandla sayo sokunene, langengalo yamandla ayo: Isibili kangisayikunika amabele akho abe yikudla kwezitha zakho, njalo isibili amadodana awezizwe kawayikunatha iwayini lakho elitsha olitshikatshikeleyo.
He swears an oath Yahweh by right [hand] his and by [the] arm of strength his if I will give grain your again food to enemies your and if they will drink sons of foreignness new wine your which you have labored for it.
9 Kodwa labo abawabuthileyo bazawadla, badumise iNkosi; lalabo abaliqoqileyo bazalinatha emagumeni obungcwele bami.
For [those who] gather it they will eat it and they will praise Yahweh and [those who] gather it they will drink it in [the] courts of holiness my.
10 Dabulani, dabulani emasangweni; lungisani indlela yabantu; phakamisani, phakamisani umgwaqo omkhulu, likhuphe amatshe, liphakamisele abantu uphawu.
Pass pass in the gates make clear [the] way of the people build up build up the highway clear [it] from stone[s] raise a standard over the peoples.
11 Khangelani, iNkosi iyezwakala kuze kube sephethelweni lomhlaba: Tshonini kundodakazi yeZiyoni: Khangela, usindiso lwakho luyeza; khangela umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.
There! Yahweh he has proclaimed to [the] end of the earth say to [the] daughter of Zion there! salvation your [is] about to come there! reward his [is] with him and recompense his [is] before him.
12 Bazababiza ngokuthi ngaBantu abaNgcwele, abaHlengiweyo beNkosi; yebo, uzabizwa ngokuthi ngoDingiweyo, uMuzi ongaTshiywanga.
And people will call them [the] people of holiness [the] redeemed of Yahweh and to you it will be called [one] sought out a city [which] not it has been forsaken.
