U-ISAYA 16 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Thumelani amaqamana njengesibiko

kumbusi wenarha yakwaJuda

ukusukela eSela ukuqamula erhalawumbeni,

ukuya entabeni yeZiyoni nomlayezo othi:

2“Njengeenyoni ezizulazulako,

lokha naziqotjhwe eenhlakaneni zazo,

anjalo namadodakazi wakwaMowabi,

emazibukweni we-Arinoni.

3Nje-ke, yiza neqhinga, wenze isiqunto;

sigubuzesa ngomthunzakho njengobusuku

lokha ilanga nalisefokothweni;

ufihle abahlakazekileko,

ungembuli abaphalali.

4Vumela abahlakazekileko bethu

bakhosele kuwe,

ube siphephelo sakaMowabi

kiloyo ofuna ukubarhayila.

Ngambala, isifuthefuthe lesi sizakuphela,

ukurhayila kukhawuke

nabagandeleli banyamalale enarheni.

5Angithi isihlalo sakho sobukhosi

sinzinze ekwethembekeni

begodu phezu kwaso kuhlezi othembekako!

Iye, ngetendeni lakaDavida kunombusi

othanda ubulungiswa

notjhisakalela okulungileko.”

6Sizwile ngokuziphakamisa kwakaMowabi.

Uzikhukhumeza khulu!

Ukuzigqaja, ukuziphakamisa, ukuzitjhaya

nekulumakhe emumoya

kulilize lakolize.

7Kodwana nje uMowabi sewuyazilila.

Boke abantu bakhona bayalila

ngebanga lamakwapa wamadiribe weKhiri-Rharesethi.

Iye, niyahumuza ngombana nibhujiswe nya.

8Ngambala amasimu weRhetjhibhoni atjhwabile,

iye, neendiribe zeSibhima.

Amakhosi wezizwe arhadla amadiribayo akhethekileko

ebekafikelela ngitjho neJazeri,

anabele erhalawumbeni;

amahlumelawo gade asabalala

ayamele ngaphetjheya kwelwandle.

9Ngalokho ngirhahlawula isililo seJazeri

ngebanga leendiribe zeSibhima,

ngikuthambisa ngeenyembezi,

wena Rhetjhibhoni nawe Eliyale

ngombana umkhosi wepi uwele esivunweni

seenthelo zakho nesamabelakho.

10Itokozo nethabo kususiwe esivandeni seenthelo;

eendiribeni akusabhinwa iingoma, akusahlokonywa

nomtlhodlhi wewayini akasekho ebutlhodlhelweni.

USomnini wathi: “Ngikuthulisile ukuhlokoma!”

11Ngalokho ihliziywami ilila njengeharibha ngoMowabi,

nomphefumulwami utlhuwela iKhiri-Rheresethi.

12Godu uSomnini wathi:

“Nanyana uMowabi angazibonakalisa

namkha azikhathaze endawenakhe ecwengekileko,

aye endundumeni kobana ayokuthandaza,

akazukuphumelela.”

13Lelo bekulilizwi uSomnini alikhuluma ngoMowabi esikhathini esadlulako.

14Gadesi uSomnini uthi: “Eminyakeni emithathu, njengeminyaka yesisebenzi esiqatjhiweko, idumo lakaMowabi lizakuthathelwa phasi phezu kobana anesiqubuthu sabantu. Imisalela izakuba libinzana, ingabi nedumo namandla.”
