U-ISAYA 58 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Ukuzila kweqiniso nokulonda iSabatha

1USomnini uthi:

“Rhuwelela, ungazibambi!

Phakamisa ilizwi lakho njengepalapala.

Memezela ebantwini bami iimphambeko zabo

nekumbeni kaJakopo izono zayo.

2Imihla ngemihla bafunana nami,

bazimisele ukwazi iindlela zami,

kwanga basisizwe esenza okufaneleko,

nesingakalahli imiyalo kaZimaso.

Babuza kimi imithetho efaneleko,

bazimisele bona uZimu atjhidele kibo.

3Bathi, ‘Sizakuthi sizileleni ukudla nawungayeleliko nje?

Sithe siyazithoba, nalapho azange bewusinake.’

“Bantu bami, qalani la,

ngelanga lokuzila kwenu ukudla

nizenzela umathanda,

nigandelela zoke iinsebenzi zenu.

4Qalani, nizilela ukuphikisana nokulwa kwaphela,

iye, ukumadlhana ngamaguduva wobukhohlakali.

Ukuzila okufana nokwenu namhlanjesi,

angeze kwenza bona isililo senu

sizwakale ezulwini.

5Ingabe kuzila engikukhethileko lokho,

kube lilanga lokuzithoba na?

Kulilanga lokuhloma ihloko phasi njengomgaba

nelokulala phezu kweenzilo nomlotha na?

Nikubiza bona kuzila lokho

nelanga elamukelekako kuSomnini na?

6Nakhu ukuzila ukudla engikukhethileko:

Kunyefisa amakhamandela wobukhohlakali,

ukuqhusula imitja yejogi,

ukutjhaphulula abagandelelweko

nokuqoba woke amajogi.

7Kukwabela abalambileko isikwa sakho,

ukunikela abanganamakhaya iphahla,

ukwembathisa ombona ahlubule

nokungafihli ubuso koziingazi zakho.

8Nje-ke, ukukhanya kwakho kuzakudarha njengokusa,

nokuphola kwakho kubonakale masinyana;

ukulunga kwakho kukhambe phambi kwakho

nephazimulo kaSomnini izakuba ngekwelusileko

ngemva kwakho.

9Nje-ke, uzakubiza uSomnini akuphendule,

ulilele isizo, athi kuwe, ‘Ngilapha.’

“Nawususa ijogi phakathi kwenu

umuno okhombakhombako

nekulumo ekhohlakeleko;

10iye, nawunakekela abalambileko

ngeemfiso zakho,

okutjho ukwanelisa iimfiso zabagandelelweko,

khona-ke isibani sakho sizakukhanya ebumnyameni

nobusuku bakho bufane nemini ekulu.

11USomnini uzakuhlahla njalonjalo,

asuse umrhawu wakho enarheni enesomiso,

akuphe ummongo emathanjenakho.

Uzakufana nesivande esisezelwako

nanjengomthombo onamanzi angatjhiko.

12Abanye benu bazakuvuselela amarubhi wakade,

wena Israyeli uzakwakha kabutjha iinsekelo zakade,

ubizwe ngokuthi, ‘Umvali wesikhala somthangala’

nangokuthi, ‘Umvuli weendledlana ukuze abantu bahlale’.

13“Nawulonda iinyawo zakho ekuratheni iSabatha,

ngokungazenzeli umathanda ngelanga lami elicwengileko,

kodwana ngokubiza iSabatha bona lilanga lokwenama

nelanga elicwengileko lakaSomnini kobana lihloniphekile;

iye, nawulihloniphako ngokungenzi kwangemihla,

nangokungenzi irhwebo,

namkha ukukhuluma ngalo,

14khona-ke uzakufumana ithabo kuSomnini.

Ngizakwenza bona ulawule inarha

bewuzitike ngelifa lakayihlo uJakopo.”

Mbala, watjho njalo-ke uSomnini ngomlomakhe!
