Zion's New Name

¹Ngenxa yeSiyoni angiyikuthula, nangenxa yeJerusalema angiyikuphumula, ukulunga kwalo kungakaphumi njengokukhanya nokusindiswa kwalo njengesibani esivuthayo.

²Izizwe ziyakubona ukulunga kwakho, namakhosi onke inkazimulo yakho; uyakubizwa ngegama elisha eliyakunqunywa ngumlomo kaJehova.

³Uyakuba ngumqhele wodumo esandleni sikaJehova, neqhele lobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.

⁴Awusayikuthiwa Oshiyiweyo, nezwe lakini alisayikuthiwa iNcithakalo, kepha uyakubizwa ngokuthi Ontokozo yami ikuye, nezwe lakini ngokuthi Oganileyo, ngokuba uJehova uyathokoza ngawe, nezwe lakini lendile.

⁵Ngokuba njengensizwa iganwa yintombi, kanjalo amadodana akho ayakuganwa nguwe; nanjengokuthokoza komyeni ngomakoti wakhe uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthokoza ngawe.

⁶Ngimisile abalindi phezu kwezingange zakho, Jerusalema; abayikuthula nakanye imini nobusuku; nina eningabakhumbuzi ngoJehova maningaphumuli,

⁷futhi ningamniki ukuphumula, aze akhe iJerusalema, alibeke libe yindumiso emhlabeni.

⁸UJehova ufungile ngesandla sakhe sokunene nangengalo yamandla akhe, wathi: “Impela angisayikuzinika izitha zakho amabele akho abe ngukudla kwazo; abezizwe abayikuliphuza iwayini lakho olikhandlekeleyo,

⁹kodwa abawaqoqileyo bayakuwadla, bamdumise uJehova, nabaliqoqileyo bayakuliphuza emagcekeni endlu yami engcwele.”

¹⁰Phumani, niphume ngamasango, niyilungise indlela yabantu; hlelani, niwuhlele umendo, niwakhiphe amatshe; niphakamisele izizwe ibhanela.

¹¹Bhekani, uJehova uyezwakala kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba, ethi: “Yishoni kuyo indodakazi yaseSiyoni ukuthi: ‘Bheka, insindiso yakho iyeza. Bheka, umvuzo wakhe unawo, nenkokhelo yakhe iphambi kobuso bakhe.’ ”

¹²Bayakubizwa ngokuthi abantu abangcwele, abahlengiweyo bakaJehova; wena uyakuthiwa Ofuniweyo, uMuzi Ongashiyiwe.
