Isaya 34:1-17
34 Sondzelani nitokuva nine tive,Nakisisani nine bantfu.
Umhlaba nako konkhe lokugcwele kuwo akulalele,Live kanye nawo wonkhe umkhicito walo akulalele.
2 Ngobe intfukutselo yaJehova itawuvutsela tonkhe tive,+Futsi lulaka lwakhe lutawuvutsela onkhe emabutfo ato.+
Utawabhubhisa onkhe awacedze;Utawabulala.+
3 Bantfu baletive lababulewe batawulahlwa ngaphandle,Liphunga lelibi letidvumbu tabo litakwenyuka;+Tintsaba titawuncibilika ngenca yengati*+ yabo.
4 Lonkhe libutfo lasemazulwini litawubola,Futsi emazulu atawugocotwa njengemculu.
Lonkhe libutfo lawo litawubuna,Njengelicembe lelibunile lelidzilika esihlahleni semagilebisiNanjengelikhiwa lelishwaphene lelidzilika esihlahleni semkhiwa.
5 “Ngobe inkemba yami itawuba manti nte isemazulwini.+
Itakwehlela ka-Edomu nesehlulelo,+Kubantfu lengibabhubhisile.
6 Jehova unenkemba; itawugcwala ingati.
Itawugcwala emafutsa,+Itawugcwala ingati yetimvu letindvuna letisetincane neyetimbuti letindvuna letisetincane,Itawugcwala emafutsa etinso tetimvu letindvuna.
Ngobe Jehova unemhlatjelo eBhosra,Utawenta kutsi kucitseke ingati lenyenti eveni laka-Edomu.+
7 Tinkunzi tesiganga titakwehla naletilwane,Tinkunzana tehle nemachawe.
Live labo litawugcwala ingati,Nelutfuli lwelive labo lutawugcwala emafutsa.”
8 Ngobe Jehova ubeke lilanga lekuphindzisela,+Ubeke umnyaka wekuletsa sijeziso ngenca yeSiyoni.+
9 Imifudlana yakhona* itawuguculwa ibe litiyela,Nelutfuli lwakhona lutawuba sibabule,Futsi live lakhona litawuba njengelitiyela lelivutsako.
10 Angeke licime busuku nemini;Intfutfu yalo itawubhunya kuze kube phakadze.
Litawuhlala litindzala titukulwane ngetitukulwane;Kute umuntfu lotakwendlula khona phakadze naphakadze.+
11 Livuba nengungumbane kutawutsatsa lelive libe lako,Tikhova letinemadlebe lamadze kanye netinyoni titawuhlala khona.
Yena utakwelulela intsambo yekukala etikwalo kuze akhombise kutsi litawusala lingenalutfoElulele nentsambo yekucondzisa* lekhombisa kutsi litawusala litindzala.
12 Kute labahlonishwako bakhona labayawubitwa kutsi batsatse bukhosi,Futsi tonkhe tindvuna takhona tiyawuba lite.
13 Kutawumila emanyeva emibhoshongweni yakhona levikelekile,Kutawumila emanyeva nelukhula lolunemanyeva etindzaweni takhona letivikelekile.
Litawuba ngumgedze wabojakalazi,+Nendzawo yekuhlala tinshi.*
14 Tilwane taselugwadvule titawuhlangana netilwane letishaya umkhulungwane,Imbuti yesiganga* itawubita umngani wayo.
Tinyoni tasebusuku titawuhlala khona tititfolele indzawo yekuphumula.
15 Inyoka iyawukwakha sidleke sayo khona, italele emacandza,Itawachobosela bese iwabutsela emtfuntini wayo.
Nabolohheya batawubutsana khona, nguloyo naloyo ahlale nesingani sakhe.
16 Tifuneleni nine encwadzini yaJehova futsi niyifundze ngelivi lelivakalako:
Kute ngisho nakunye lokutawushoda;Kute ngisho nakunye lokutaweswela umlingani,Ngobe ngumlomo waJehova lokhiphe lomyalo,Futsi ngumoya wakhe lokwente kwahlangana ndzawonye.
17 Nguye lobashayele inkatho,Nesandla sakhe ngiso lesikale indzawo lababelwe yona.*
Itawuba lifa labo kuze kube phakadze;Batawuhlala kuyo kuto tonkhe titukulwane.
