U-ISAYA 9 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Akuzokuba nokuphunyurha kilabo ababambeke ebumnyameni ngesikhatheso. Eenkathini ezadlulako wathobisa inarha yakwaZebuloni neyakwaNafthali, kodwana esikhathini esizako uzakuhlonipha iGalile labezizwe endleleni eya elwandle ngaphetjheya kweJordani.

UZimu uletha ukukhanya ebumnyameni

2Abantu abakhamba ebumnyameni

babone ukukhanya okukhulu,

kilabo abahlala enarheni yethunzi elesabekako

ukukhanya kwakhanya phezu kwabo.

3Sewusikhulisile isizwe, wandisa nokuthaba kwaso,

sijabulile phambi kwakho njengokujabulela isivuno,

iye, nanjengabantu abajabulako nababelana ipango.

4Mbala, njengamhlana kuhlulwa iMidiyani,

uliphohlozile ijogi elidisibeza isizwe,

okulibhoko elivundle emahlombaso,

iye, intonga yabatjhotjhozeli baso.

5Elinye nelinye inyathelo lejoni

elibhaduza ngetjhada

nenaka lalo elichaphazelwe ziingazi

lizakutjhiswa lidliwe mlilo.

6Mbala, sibelethelwe umntwana,

siphiwe indodana.

Umbuso uzakuba semahlombayo,

izakubizwa bona nguMlulekimmangalisi,

uZimumandla, uBabasiphelani noKosikuthula,

7ukuze umbuso wenabe

nokuthula kungapheli

esihlalweni sakaDavida nembuswenakhe.

Izawunzinzisa ngokuwusekela ngobulungiswa nokulunga

ukusukela ngesikhathesi bekube nini nanini.

Itjisakalo kaSomnini uMninimandlawoke

izakuphelelisa koke lokhu.

Uzimu uhlunguphaza ama-Israyeli

8USomandla uthumele umlayezo kuJakopo,

wona wehlela kuma-Israyeli.

9Soke isizwe,

okutjho u-Efrayimu nabahlali beSamariya,

bazizwela wona,

kodwana ngokuziphakamisa nokuzikhakhazisa

kwehliziyo bathi:

10“Iintina ziwele phasi,

kodwana sizakwakha ngamatje abaziweko;

imithi yamakhiwani igawuliwe,

kodwana sizayijamiselela ngemithi yemisedari.”

11Nje-ke uSomnini wandise izitha zakaRetsini

bona zijamelane nama-Israyeli,

watlhorholoja namanaba wawo,

12okutjho ama-Aramu ngepumalanga

namaFilista ngetjingalanga.

Wona agomojela u-Israyeli!

Kikho koke lokho

ubukhali bakaSomnini akhange busuke

nesandla sakhe sahlala siphakamile.

13Khonapho abantu akhange babuyele kobabethileko

begodu azange bafune uSomnini uMninimandlawoke.

14Yeke uSomnini waqunta u-Israyeli ihloko nomsila,

wamhluba iimpiko.

15Ihloko yaka-Israyeli baphathi neenkhulu,

umsila kube baphorofidi abafundisa amanga.

16Iye, abarholi babantwaba bayabalahla

nebegade badinga ukuhlahlwa bebakakamele.

17Ngebangelo uSomandla akhange athabe ngamasokanabo,

begodu azange arhawukele ntandani namhlolokazi.

Mbala, soke isizwe besinganaZimu, siziingilamkhuba

nemilomo yoke ikhuluma ubudlhayela.

Kikho koke lokho

ubukhali bakaSomnini akhange busuke

nesandla sakhe sahlala siphakamile.

18Ubukhohlakali buvutha njengomlilo,

buqothula iminga nameva,

butjhisa isithurha

kube sikhatha sentuthu ekhuphukako.

19Ngobukhali bakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke

inarha izakuba libhudu

nabantu bafane neensahlela zomlilo.

Akuzukuba namuntu obabalela wakwabo.

20Barhiribidela ngesidleni, kodwana baba nephango,

badla ngesinceleni, kodwana banganeliseka.

Iye, omunye nomunye wadla umfowabo:

21UManase wadla u-Efrayimu

no-Efrayimu wadla uManase,

bobabili njalo bebajamelene noJuda.

Kikho koke lokho,

ubukhali bakaSomnini akhange busuke

nesandla sakhe sahlala siphakamile.
