U-ISAYA 42 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Inceku kaSomnini

1USomnini wathi:

“Nasi incekwami engisekelako,

okhethiweko wami engithokozako ngaye,

ngibeke uMoyami phezu kwakhe

nje-ke uzakuletha ukunzinza ezizweni.

2Angeze arhuwelela abize,

nanyana ahlabe umkhosi eendledlaneni.

3Umhlanga otshinyekileko akazukuwukhambiselela

nesibani esififiyelako akazukusicima.

Uzakuletha ukunzinza ngokweqiniso;

4akazukuqobeka nanyana ephuke ummoya

bekube nokunzinza ephasini.

Iinhlengele ziqalelele ifundiswakhe.”

5Nakhu okutjhiwo nguZimu uSomnini

owadala amazulu bewawaqhisa,

wendlala iphasi nakho koke okumila kilo,

wanikela abantu umphefumulo

nommoya wokuphila kilabo

abakhamba ephasinapha,

6uthi:

“Mina Somnini, ngikubize ngokwethembeka kwami,

nje-ke ngiqinisa isandla sakho bengikuvikele.

Ngikubeka njengesivumelwano sami

ebantwini bami,

kobana ube mkhanyo ezizweni,

7uvule amehlo aphopheleko,

ukuthukulula ababotjhwe ngesikhungweni,

iye, labo abasemakhamandeleni ebumnyameni.

8NginguSomnini, libizo lami-ke lelo!

Angeze nginikele

noma ngubani idumo lami

nanyana iinthombembazwa ukuhlonitjhwa kwami.

9Uyabona, izinto zaphambilini sezenzekile,

nje-ke ngimemezela izinto ezitja;

nginazisa zona ngaphambi kobana zivumbuke.”

Ingoma yokudumisa uSomnini

10Vumani ingoma etja kuSomnini

neembongo zakhe kusuka epelazwe,

nina enithaya elwandle nakwezalo,

nina nhlengele nani enihlala lapho.

11Irhalawumba nemizalo aliphakamise amezwalo,

izabelo lapha kuhlala khona amaKhedari zithokoze;

abahlali beSela abahlokome,

barhuwelele eenqongolweni zeentaba.

12Akunikelwe uSomnini idumo

kumenyezelwe ukuhlonitjhwa kwakhe eenhlengeleni.

13USomnini uzakutjhagala njengengorho,

avuselele itjisakalo njengebutho;

uzakurhuwelela, ahlabe umkhosi wepi;

azibonakalise amuhluli wezitha zakhe.

USomnini uyenyela

14USomnini uthi:

“Sekusikhathi eside ngilokhu ngithulile,

iye, bengizithulele ngizibambile;

kodwana gadesi ngirhuwelela njengomfazi obelethako,

ngiyakhefuzela, ngidosa ummoya.

15Ngizakugiriza iintaba nemibundu

ngitjhwabise zoke iimila zakhona,

ngenze imilambo ibe ziinhlengele,

ngomise iindawo eziziintete.

16Iimphofu ngizazirhola ngendlela ezingayaziko,

ngizihlahle ngomzila ongakajayeleki;

ngizakwenza ubumnyama

bube kukhanya phambi kwazo;

ngenze neendawo ezimaguzuguzu zibe butjhelelezi.

Kwamambala ngizazenza izintwezo

angeze ngaziliselela iimphofezo.

17Bazakukhahlamezelwa emuva

bebadaniswe khulu

labo abathembela eenthombenimbazwa,

iye, labo abathi kibosingazimu,

‘Nina nibozimu bethu’.”

Umphorofidi ukhalimela abantu bakaSomnini

18Lalelani nina nthulu,

qalani nina mphofu niyelele!

19USomnini uthi:

“Ngubani osiphofu nakungasuwe

wena ncekwami, Israyeli

nosithulu nakungasuwe

sithunywa sami engisithumileko na?

Ngubani osiphofu nakungasuwe

ohlawulelwe izono na?

Iye, ngubani osiphofu

nakungasi yinceku kaSomnini na?

20Wena ubone izinto ezinengi,

kodwana awuyeleli;

iindlebe zakho zivulekile,

kodwana awuzwa.”

21USomnini wathanda bona kube njalo

ngebanga lokuthembeka kwakhe.

Ngokunjalo wabonisa bona ifundiswakhe

yikulu begodu inephazimulo.

22Kodwana wena uthi:

“Lesi sisizwe esiphangiweko nesihlanguliweko,

boke babambeke emigodini

nanyana bafihlwe eenkhungweni.

Sebaphenduke ipango,

batlhoga nomuntu ongabenyula;

benziwe ihlangulo,

batlhoga nomuntu ongathi,

‘Babuyiseleni emuva’.”

23Ngubani phakathi kwenu

ozakulalela isiphorofidweso

begodu asitjheje

ukuze nizwe esikhathini esizako na?

24Ngubani owanikela ngoJakopo

kobana abe yihlangulo,

wanikela ngo-Israyeli kubaphangi na?

AkusinguSomnini esimoneleko na?

Iye, ama-Israyeli alandula ukulandela iindlela zakhe,

akhange athambele ifundiswakhe.

25Nje-ke wathululela itukuthelwakhe evuthako

phezu kwawo

okuyipi esabekako.

Amalangabi wepi awaqothula mahlangothi woke,

khonapho akhange alemuke;

iye, awababula,

nalapho azange acabangisise.
