Isaya 13:1-22
13 Nasi simemetelo lesimayelana neBhabhulona,+ lesabonwa ngu-Isaya+ indvodzana ya-Amozi embonweni:
2 “Phakamisa luphawu+ entsabeni lenemadvwala kuphela.
Bamemete, ujikitise sandla sakho,Kuze bete batewungena emagedeni etitatanyiswa.
3 Ngikhiphe umyalo kulabo lengibakhetsile.*+
Ngitjele emasotja ami latingwazi kutsi avete intfukutselo yami,Lawo lajabule kakhulu.
4 Lalela! Sicumbi lesisetintsabeni;Umsindvo waso uvakala njengewesicumbi sebantfu labanyenti!
Lalela! Kubhodla kwemibuso,Kubhodla kwetive letibutsene ndzawonye!+
Jehova wemabutfo uhlanganisa libutfo kute lilungele imphi.+
5 Basuka endzaweni lekhashane,+Basuka emikhawulweni yemazulu,Jehova uta kanye netikhali tentfukutselo yakhe,Kuze baletse imbhubhiso kuwo wonkhe umhlaba.+
6 Lilani ngobe lilanga laJehova lisondzele!
Litawufika njengembhubhiso levela kuSomandla.+
7 Kungako nje tonkhe tandla tiyawukhubateka,Futsi tonkhe tinhlitiyo tebantfu tiyawukwesaba.+
8 Bantfu betfuke kakhulu.+
Babanjwe kuvevetela netinhlungu,Njengemfati lophetfwe ngumhelo.
Babukana bodvwana ngekwesaba,Buso babo bugcwele lusizi.
9 Lilanga laJehova liyeta,Linesibhuku lesihambisana nelulaka lolukhulu kanye nentfukutselo lenkhulu,Kuze lente lelive libe yintfo lebangela kwesaba+Futsi kucotfulwe toni letihlala kulo.
10 Ngobe tinkhanyeti temazulu nemitsala yato+Ngeke kukhanyise;Lilanga litawuba mnyama naliphuma,Nenyeti angeke ikhanyise.
11 Ngitawenta bantfu labahlala emhlabeni kutsi balandzise ngebubi babo,+Nebantfu lababi ngitabenta balandzise ngetono tabo.
Ngitakucedza kutikhukhumeta kwalabo labenta tintfo labete lilungelo lekutenta,Futsi ngitawutfobisa kutati kwebabusi labacindzetelako.+
12 Ngitawubangela kutsi umuntfu abe yindlala kwendlula ligolide lelicwengisisiwe,+Nebantfu batawuba yindlala kwendlula ligolide lase-Ofiri.+
13 Kungako ngitawubangela kutsi emazulu achachatele,Nemhlaba utawutamatama ususwe endzaweni yawo+Loko kutawubangelwa yintfukutselo lenkhulu yaJehova wemabutfo ngelilanga lelulaka lwakhe.
14 Njengenyamatane letingelwako nanjengemhlambi lote umelusi,Nguloyo naloyo utawubuyela kubantfu bakubo;Nguloyo naloyo utawubalekela eveni lakubo.+
15 Noma ngubani lotawutfolakala utawugwazwa,Futsi noma ngubani lotawubanjwa utawubulawa ngenkemba.+
16 Bantfwababo batawufihlitwa babe ticucu embikwabo babukile,+Tindlu tabo titawugcekezwa,Nebafati babo batawudlwengulwa.
17 Ngitawuvusa emaMede kutsi amelane nabo,+Lawo latsatsa lisiliva njengeliteFutsi langajatjuliswa naligolide.
18 Butjoki bawo butawubulala emajaha;+Angeke abe nesihawu esitselweni sesibeletfoFutsi angeke abe nemusa kubantfwana.
19 IBhabhulona, inkhatimulo* yemibuso,+Buhle neligcabho lemaKhaledi,+Itawufana neSodoma neGomora ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu akuketula.+
20 Angeke kuphindze kuhlale muntfu kuyo,Futsi angeke isaba yindzawo yekuhlala, titukulwane ngetitukulwane.+
Um-Arabu angeke akhe lithende lakhe khona,Kute nebelusi labatakwelusela imihlambi yabo khona.
21 Tilwane taselugwadvule titawuhlala khona;Tindlu tabo titawugcwala tikhova.
Tinshi* titawuhlala khona,+Netimbuti tesiganga* titawutjakadvula khona.
22 Tilwane letishaya umkhulungwane, titawushayela emibhoshongweni yayoBojakalazi batawukhala etigodlweni tayo takanokusho.
Sikhatsi sayo sisondzele futsi emalanga ayo angeke elulwe.”+
