Isaya 19:1-25
19 Isimemezelo ngokujamelene neGibhide:+
Qala! UJehova ukhwele ilifu eligijima ngebelo, liza eGibhide.
Abozimu beGibhide abangasizi ngalitho bazokuhlengezela phambi kwakhe,+Begodu iinhliziyo zabantu beGibhide zizokuhlengezela.
2 “Ngizokuhlohlozela amaGibhide bona alwe namaGibhide,Begodu bazokulwa bodwa,Ngamunye uzokulwa nomfowabo nomakhelwanakhe,
Idorobho lizokulwa nedorobho, umbuso ulwe nombuso.
3 Abantu beGibhide bazokurareka,Begodu ngizokuraranisa amaqhingabo.+
Bazokuphendukela kibozimu abangasizi ngalitho,Kibosomlingo, kilabo ababuza kwabafileko nakubabikezeli bengomuso.+
4 Ngizokunikela iGibhide ekosini elikhuni,Begodu ikosi enelunya izobabusa,”+ kutjho iKosi yeqiniso, uJehova wamabutho.
5 Amanzi welwandle azokoma,Umlambo uzokutjha begodu wome.+
6 Imilambo izokunuka;Imisele yeNayili yeGibhide izokuncipha begodu yome.
Imihlanga notjani obude kuzokubola.+
7 Iintjalo ezimagega noMlambo iNayili, emlonyeni weNayili,Nayo yoke inarha etjalwe imbewu magega neNayili+ izokoma.+
Izokuphetjhulwa, ingasaba khona.
8 Abathiya iinhlambi bazokulila,Labo abaphosela amawugu wokuthiya iinhlambi ngeNayili bazokulila,Nalabo abalulela amanedabo ngemanzini bazokuba mbalwa.
9 Labo abenza itjhila ngesitjalo selineni*+
Nalabo abenza itjhila elimhlophe esigodweni sabeluki bazokuhlaziswa.
10 Abeluki beGibhide bazokutshidlhwa;Zoke iinsebenzi eziqatjhiweko zizokuba lisizi.
11 Amakhosana weTsowani+ aziindlhadlhaAbeluleki bakaFaro abahlakaniphileko banikela iinluleko ezinganangqondo.+
Ningatjho njani kuFaro nithi:
“Ngisizukulwana sabahlakaniphileko,Isizukulwana samakhosi wekadeni”?
12 Bakuphi abantu benu abahlakaniphileko?+
Abanitjele nangabe bayazi ukuthi yini uJehova wamabutho ayiquntileko malungana neGibhide.
13 Amakhosana weTsowani enze ngobudlhadlha;Amakhosana weNofi*+ akhohlisiwe;Iinduna zeenkoro zayo zidurhise iGibhide.
14 UJehova uthululele ummoya wokuhlangahlangana;+Begodu badurhise iGibhide kinanyana yini eyenzako,Njengesidakwa sitherezelela emahlanzwenaso.
15 IGibhide angeze ibe nomsebenzi ozokwenziwaYihloko namkha msila, yihlumela namkha butjani obude.*
16 Ngelangelo iGibhide izokuba njengabafazi, izokuhlengezela begodu ithukwe ngebanga lesandla sakaJehova wamabutho esithusako asiphakamisako ngokujamelene nayo.+
17 Inarha yakwaJuda izokubangela iGibhide bona isabe. IGibhide izokuthukwa nakukhulunywa ngenarha yakwaJuda ngebanga lesiqunto uJehova wamabutho asenze ngokujamelene nayo.+
18 Ngelangelo kuzokuba namadorobho amahlanu enarheni yeGibhide akhuluma ilimi leKanana+ begodu afunga ukuthembeka kuJehova wamabutho. Elinye idorobho lizokubizwa ngokuthi liDorobho lokuGiriza.
19 Ngelangelo kuzokuba ne-aldara lakaJehova hlangana nenarha yeGibhide nesika kaJehova emkhawulwenayo.
20 Lizokuba litshwayo nobufakazi kuJehova wamabutho enarheni yeGibhide; ngombana bazokulilela uJehova ngebanga lalabo ababagandelelako begodu uzobathumela umsindisi, omkhulu, ozobasindisa.
21 Abantu beGibhide bazomazi uJehova, abantu beGibhide bazomazi uJehova ngelangelo, bazokunikela imihlatjelo nezipho begodu bazokwenza isifungo kuJehova bese basifeze.
22 UJehova uzokubetha iGibhide,+ ayibethe bekayilaphe; begodu bazokubuyela kuJehova, uzokulalela nabambawako bese abalaphe.
23 Ngelangelo kuzokuba nendlela ekulu+ esuka eGibhide iya e-Asiriya. Nje-ke i-Asiriya izokungena eGibhide, neGibhide izokungena e-Asiriya, begodu iGibhide izokulotjha uZimu ne-Asiriya.
24 Ngelangelo u-Israyeli uzokuba ngowesithathu kunye neGibhide ne-Asiriya,+ isibusiso sephasi,
25 ngombana uJehova wamabutho uzabe ababusisile, athi: “Ababusiswe abantu bami, iGibhide, nomsebenzi wezandla zami, i-Asiriya, nelifa lami, u-Israyeli.”+
