Isaya 30:1-33
30 “Maye! Emadodaneni anekani,”+ kutjho uJehova,“Enza amaqhinga angasingewami,+Enza iimvumelwano ezingavumelani* nommoyami,Angezelela isono esonweni.
2 Batjhinga eGibhide+ bangakangibuzi,+Bona bavikelwe nguFaroBegodu baphephele emthunzini weGibhide!
3 Kodwana isivikelo sakaFaro sizokuba ngunobangela weenhloni kini,Begodu isiphephelo somthunzi weGibhide sizokuba ngunobangela wokuhlaziseka.+
4 Ngombana amakhosanakhe aseTsowani,+Begodu iinthunywa zakhe zifike eRhanesi.
5 Boke bazokuhlaziswaBabantu abangekhe babazuzisa ngalitho,Abantu abangekhe babasiza namkha babazuzisa,Abazobahlazisa kwaphela begodu babahlambalaze.”+
6 Isimemezelo esijamelene nesibandana sesewula:
Enarheni yokugandeleleka nobudisi,Yebhubezi, ibhubezi elibhodlako,Yenyoka nenyoka ephaphako enomlilo,Bathwala umnothwabo emhlana yabodumbanaNepahlabo phezu kwamakamelaKodwana izintwezi angekhe zizuzise abantu.
7 Isizo leGibhide alinamsebenzi.+
Ngalokho ngibabize ngokuthi: “NguRarhabu,+ ohlala phasi angenzi litho.”
8 “Nje-ke khamba utlole umlayezo elitjeni elisipara phambi kwabo,Begodu uwutlole encwadini,+Bona ube bufakazi esikhathini esizakoNjengobufakazi obuhlala ngokungapheliko.+
9 Bababantu abavukelako,+ amadodana akhohlisako,+Amadodana angakazimiseli ukulalela umthetho kaJehova.+
10 Bathi kubaboni, ‘Ningaboni,’
Begodu kubaboni bemibono bathi, ‘Ningasitjeli imibono eliqiniso.+
Sitjelani izinto ezisikarako; bonani imibono ekhohlisako.+
11 Sukani endleleni; phambukani endleleni.
Lisani ukubeka oCwengileko ka-Israyeli phambi kwethu.’”+
12 Nje-ke nakhu oCwengileko ka-Israyeli akutjhoko:
“Njengombana nala ilizweli+Nathembela esifumbathisweni nekukhohliseniBegodu nathembela kilokhu,+
13 Nje-ke umtjhapho lo uzokuba njengeboda elisasambileko kini,Njengeboda elide elilungele ukuwa.
Lizokugirika msinyana, kungakalindeleki.
14 Lizokuphuka njengomjeka omkhulu obunjiweko,Lizokuphahlaka ngokupheleleko kangangokuthi ayikho ingcenye ezokusalaOngayisebenzisela ukukhupha amalahle emlilweniNamkha ukukha ngayo amanzi.”
15 Nakhu iKosi ePhakemeko uJehova, oCwengileko ka-Israyeli ekutjhoko:
“Ngokubuyela kimi begodu niphumule, nizokusindiswa;Amandlenu azokuba sekwehliseni ummoya nokungithemba.”+
Kodwana akhenge nizimisele.+
16 Kunalokho nithe: “Awa, sizokubaleka ngeenjomani!”
Yeke nizokubaleka.
“Begodu sizokukhwela iinjomani ezinebelo!”+
Labo abanigijimisako bazokuba nebelo.+
17 Ikulungwana izokuhlengezela ngebanga lokuthuswa mumuntu munye;+Ngebanga lokuthuswa babantu abahlanu izokubalekaBekube kulapho abaseleko kini bafana nepala esiqongolweni sentaba,Njengetshwayo embundwini.+
18 Kodwana uJehova ulinde ngesineke bona abe nomusa,+Begodu uzokuthatha igadango bona abe nesirhawu.+
Ngombana uJehova nguZimu wobulungiswa.+
Bayathaba boke abamlindelako.*+
19 Abantu nabahlala eZiyoni, eJerusalema,+ angeze nisalila.+ UZimu uzokuba nomusa kini nakezwa itjhada lokulila kwenu nifuna isizo; uzoniphendula msinyana nakalizwako.+
20 Kodwana uJehova uzonipha uburotho njengesizi namanzi njengokugandeleleka,+ uMfundisenu omKhulu angeze asazifihla, nizokubona uMfundisenu omKhulu+ ngamehlwenu.
21 Nange niphambuka begodu niya ngesidleni namkha ngesinceleni nizokuzwa ilizwi ngemva kwenu lithi, “Nasi indlela. Khambani ngayo.”+
22 Nizokusilaphaza isiliva okunamekwe ngayo iinthombe zenu ezibaziweko negolide okunamekwe ngayo iinthombe zenu zesimbi.+ Nizozilahla njengetjhila elisilapheleko* nithi kizo, “Sukani!”*+
23 Uzokunisa izulu embewini oyitjale ehlabathini+ begodu uburotho obuzokuvela buzokuba bunengi, bunothe.+ Ngelangelo ifuywakho izokudla emadlelweni amakhulu.+
24 Iinkomo nabodumbana abalima ihlabathi bazokudla ukudla okumnandi okuhlukaniswe ngerharafu neforogo.
25 Kizo zoke iintaba eziphakemeko nakiyo yoke imibundu ephakemeko, kuzokuba nemilanjana nemisele,+ ngelanga lokurhayila okukhulu lokha nakuwa imibhotjhongo.
26 Umkhanyo wenyanga ezeleko uzokuba njengomkhanyo welanga nomkhanyo welanga uzokuba namandla ngokubuyelelwe kalikhomba,+ njengomkhanyo wamalanga alikhomba, ngelanga uJehova azokubopha ngalo ukuphuka kwabantu bakhe,+ alaphe namanceba amakhulu avezwe kubetha kwakhe.+
27 Qala! Igama lakaJehova livela kude,Livutha ngelaka lakhe begodu libhodwe mamafu abudisi.
Umlomakhe uzele ukusilingeka,Nelimu lakhe lifana nomlilo orhiribidelako.+
28 Ukuphefumula kwakhe kufana nomlambo ophuphuma ukufika entanyeni,Bona asikinye iintjhaba esefeni sokutjhabalalisa;Begodu iintjhaba zizokuba netomu eliziphambukisako emhlathinazo.+
29 Ingomakho izokuba njengengoma evunywa ebusukuNawulungiselela umnyanya,*+
Nehliziywakho izokuthaba njengomuntuOkhamba nefuludi*
Osendleleni eya entabeni kaJehova, iDwala laka-Israyeli.+
30 UJehova uzokwenza ilizwi lakhe eliphazimulako+ lizwakaleBegodu uzokwenza amandla womkhonwakhe abonakale,+Ngelangabi lomlilo orhiribidelako,+Ngezulu elina ngamandla ngokuduma nangesinanja.+
31 Ngebanga lelizwi lakaJehova, i-Asiriya izokurhidlwa livalo;+Uzoyibetha ngentonga.+
32 Qobe uJehova nakabetha ama-AsiriyaNgentonga yesijezisoKuzokuba netjhada labosotjherere namaharibha+Nakaphakamisa umkhonwakhe ngokujamelene nabo epini.+
33 ITofethi*+ yakhe ilungisiwe;Izokulungiswa godu ilungiselwa ikosi.+
Wenze iququ leenkuni ladepha, laba banzi.
Ngomlilo omkhulu nangeenkuni.
Ukuphefumula kwakaJehova kunjengomlanjana wesibabuli,Kuzolitjhisa.
