U-ISAYA 57 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Abalungileko bayabhubha,

akakho ocabangako ngalokho;

abantu abathembekileko kuZimu bayahlongakala

kungabikhona ozwisisako:

Ngebanga lobumbi abalungileko bayahlongakala.

2Labo abakhamba ngobuqotho

bazakulala ngokuthula,

baphumule emikghadinabo.

3Kodwana nina madodana wesanusi,

nzalo yesihlobongi esingwadlako,

tjhidelani lapha!

4Ngubani enimenza ihlaya lo?

Ngubani enimkhamisela imilomo,

nimkokomeje na?

Anisibantwana bokonakala,

nenzalo yekohliso na?

5Ngitjho nina enitjhiswa yikanuko

hlangana nemithi ye-owuku,

ngaphasi kwayo yoke imithi esitjhutha,

nibulala abantwana emirhobeni

ngemipharwini yamadwala.

6Isiphetho sakho dorobho,

sisematjeni abutjhelelezi emrhobeni,

iye, wona ngiwo asisabelo sakho

ngombana bewuyawaphahlela,

uwanikela neminikelo yeenthoro.

Alo, nithi angihlekele koke lokho na?

7Uqhise amalalwakho embundwini omude nophakemileko,

wenyuka kobana unikele imihlabelo.

8Ngemva komnyango negoseni,

ubeke itshwayo lakho labosingazimu bembeleko.

Lokha nawugade ukude nami,

wembule umkghadakho owukhulisileko,

wangena kiwo.

Uvumelene namadodakho ngekokhelo;

wathanda ukuwembulela amabhayi

waqalana nobubhunubhunu bawo.

9Watjhemelelela uMoleki

uphethe amafutha we-oliva,

wandisa amakha wakho.

Wathumela abazenda bakho kude,

ngitjho nendaweni yabafileko.

10Bewudiniwe ngebanga leendlela zakho,

kodwana azange uthi: “Akusizi ngalitho.”

Ufumene ukuvuseleleka kwamandlakho,

ngalokho azange unyefe.

11Ngubani onevalo nowesabako ngaye

kobana ungabeze ukhulume amanga,

bewungasangikhumbula,

namkha ucabange ngalokho na?

Awusangesabi ngombana ngithule

isikhathi eside na?

12Mina ngizakudalula imisebenzakho

nalokho okuthiwa kulunga kwakho!

Abosingazimu bakho angeze bakubhadekela.

13Isiqhenyana sabosingazimu bakho

asikusize nawulila ufuna isizo!

Ummoya uzabadudula boke njalo,

baphetjhulwe mphefumulo nje kwaphela.

Kodwana umuntu ongenza isiphephelo sakhe,

uzakuzuza inarha,

athumbe intabami ecwengileko njengelifa lakhe.

Ukududuzwa kwabagandelelweko

14USomnini wathi:

“Lelezani, lelezani, nilungise indlela!

Susani iinliyo endleleni yabantu bami.”

15Kodwana kwanje,

nakhu okutjhiwo nguZimu ophakemeko nophezulu,

ophila nini nanini, obizo lakhe licwengile, uthi:

“Ngihlala endaweni ephakemeko necwengileko,

godu ngihlala naloyo

onommoya owephukileko nothobekileko.

Ngivuselela ummoya waloyo odanileko,

nehliziyo yowurubajekileko.

16Yeke angeze ngalwa mndundu,

namkha ngihlale ngitjhuqile,

ngombana ummoya womuntu uvela kimi,

uzakunyefa,

khisibe ngimi owanikela ipilo emuntwini.

17Bengithukuthele ngebanga lecala

labantu bami abarhubhela kesabo.

Ngabadula bengafihla ubuso bami ngokuthukuthela,

kodwana baragela phambili ngokuhlubuka,

balandela iinkanuko zehliziywabo.

18Ngizibonile iindlela zabo,

nokho ngizabelapha, ngibahlahle,

ngibavuze ngenduduzo.

Kilabo abalilako

19ngizakukhuluma amezwi wenduduzo

ngithi, ‘Ukuthula, iye, ukuthula

kilabo abakude nabaseduze.’

Mbala ngizabelapha.”

Watjho njalo uSomnini.

20Iinkhohlakali zinjengelwandle eliyalukako:

Alikghoni ukuphumula,

amanzalo ayaluka amabibi nedaka.

21UZimami uthi: “Akuzukuba nokuthula eenkhohlakalini.”
