Isa 30 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

Ubuze bokwenza isivumelwano leGibithe

1Maye ebantwaneni abahlamukayo! kutsho iNkosi,

abenza amacebo angesiwo awami,

labenza izivumelwano ezingesizo ezami,

ukuba bengezelele isono phezu kwesono.

2Basuka baye eGibithe bengacelanga iseluleko sami,

ukuba bayephephela ekuvikelweni nguFaro,

bayecatsha emthunzini waseGibithe.

3Kodwake ukuvikelwa nguFaro kuzaphenduka inhloni kini,

lokucatsha emthunzini waseGibithe kube yikudaniswa kwenu.

4Lanxa izithunywa zabo zifike eZowani laseHanesi,

5bonke bayangeka ngenxa yesizwe leso esingelakubasiza ngalutho,

isizwe esingabaletheli usizo,

kuphela ukuyangeka lenhloni.

6Leli yilizwi ngezilo zaseNegebi.

Abathunyiweyo badabula ilizwe elilengozi lokuhlupheka,

lapho kukhona izilwane,

lamabululu lenyoka eziphaphayo,

bethwele inotho ngabobabhemi,

lempahla yabo eligugu ngamakamela,

bekusa ebantwini abangelakubasiza ngalutho.

7Ngoba usizo lwaseGibithe kalulamsebenzi, luyize;

ngakhoke ngilibize ngokuthi ngumgobo ongelangozi.

8Ngakhoke hambake, ukulobe elitsheni phambi kwabo,

ukulobe encwadini,

ukuba kube yibufakazi esikhathini esizayo kuze kube nininini.

9Ngoba bangabantu abahlamukayo,

abantwana abaqamba amanga,

abantwana abangayikuzwa ukufundisa kweNkosi;

10abathi kubaboni: Lingabe lisabona;

lakubaprofethi: Lingatshumayeli kithi okuqondileyo;

kodwa khulumani kithi izinto ezimnandi, lamanga athokozisayo,

11litshiye indlela eqondileyo, liphambuke kiyo,

singabe sisezwa futhi ngoNgcwele kaIsrayeli.

12Ngakhoke oNgcwele kaIsrayeli uthi:

Ngoba lidelele lelilizwi,

lithembela kukho ukucindezela lokuphambeneyo, libambelele kukho,

13lobububi benu buzakuba njengomkenke osemdulini omude,

umduli osulenga osuzakuwa,

owa ngesikhathi ungananzelelwanga;

14ukuwa kwawo kunjengokufa kwembiza yombumbi,

ephahlazeka, iphele,

kungabe kusafunyanwa lodengezi lokokha umlilo,

lolokukha amanzi emthonjeni.

15INkosi uNkulunkulu, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, ithi:

Phendukelani kimi, lihlale ngokuthula, ng’khona lizakusizwa;

amandla enu asekuchumeni lekuthembeni;

kodwa kalikufuni.

16Kodwa lina lithi: Atshi, sizabaleka ngamabhiza.

Ngakhoke balekani.

Lithi njalo: Sizakhwela amabhiza alejubane.

Ngakhoke labalixotshayo bazakuba lejubane elikhulu.

17Abayinkulungwane bazabaleka ngokusongelwa ngoyedwa nje,

ngokusongelwa ngabahlanu lizakubaleka,

libaleke kuze kuthi abaseleyo benu basale sebenjengensika ephezu kwentaba,

lanjengogodo olumiswe oqaqeni.

Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ebantwini bakhe

18Kodwa iNkosi ilindele ukuba ibe lomusa kini,

iyathanda ukuba ibe lesihawu kini;

ngoba iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wokulunga,

babusisiwe bonke abathemba kuyo.

19Ngakhoke lina bantu abaseZiyone elakhe eJerusalema, kalisayikukhala futhi; impela iNkosi izakuba lomusa kini ekukhaleni kwenu; lapho ikuzwa, izaliphendula.

20Loba iNkosi ilinika isinkwa sokuhlupheka lamanzi osizi, kanti umfundisi wenu kasayikucatsha, kodwa amehlo enu azakumbona.

21Lapho liphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo, indlebe zenu zizakuzwa ilizwi ngemva kwenu lisithi: Nansi indlela, hambani ngayo.

22Lizakudela izithombe zenu ezibaziweyo, zananyekwa ngesiliva, lezithombe zenu ezibunjiweyo, zananyekwa ngegolide, liziphose njengezinto ezingcolileyo, lithi kuzo: Sukani lapha.

23Izakunisela izulu inhlanyelo yenu eliyihlanyela emhlabathini, ilinike amabele, inala enkulu lenhle kakhulu. Ngalesosikhathi inkomo zenu zizakudla emadlelweni abanzi;

24lenkabi zenu labobabhemi benu elilima ngabo bazakudla ukudla okuhle kakhulu, okweliweyo ngefotsholo langefolokwe.

25Laphezu kwezintaba ezinde lamaqaqa amade kuzakuba lezifula zamanzi agelezayo osukwini lokubulawa okukhulu, mhla kusiwa izinqaba.

26Futhi ukukhanya kwenyanga kuzakuba njengokukhanya kwelanga, lokukhanya kwelanga kuphindwe kasikhombisa, kube ngangokukhanya kwensuku eziyisikhombisa, mhla iNkosi ibopha amanxeba abantu bayo, ipholisa izilonda zemivimvinya yabo.

Ukunqotshwa kweAsiriya

27Khangela, iNkosi ivela khatshana,

ulaka lwayo luyavutha,

lutshengiswa ngentuthu ethunqayo;

ikhuluma ithukuthele,

lamazwi ayo anjengomlilo oquthulayo;

28ukuphefumula kwayo kunjengamanzi akhukhulayo aze afike entanyeni;

ihlungula izizwe ngesihlungulo sokuchitheka,

ifaka emilonyeni yabantu amatomu aduhisayo.

29Kodwa lina lizahlabela ingoma njengasebusuku

lapho kugujwa umkhosi ongcwele, lithokoze enhliziyweni,

loba njengalapho abantu betshaya umhubhe,

besiya entabeni yeNkosi, eDwaleni likaIsrayeli.

30INkosi izazwakalisa ilizwi layo elilodumo,

ibonakalise ingalo yayo lapho itshayayo,

ekuthukutheleni kwayo okwesabekayo,

ngokuvutha komlilo oqothulayo,

langesivunguvungu, langesiphepha, langesiqhotho.

31Ngokuzwa ilizwi leNkosi abaseAsiriya bazatshaywa luvalo,

lapho itshaya ngenduku yayo.

32Kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi ibatshaya ngenduku yayo,

kuzwakale ukukhala kwezigubhu lamachacho,

lapho isilwa labo.

33Ngoba indawo yokutshisela kade yalungiswa,

yalungiselwa inkosi yaseAsiriya;

isilungile, legodi layo lenziwa latshona, laba banzi,

lilomlilo lenkuni ezinengi;

umphefumulo weNkosi unjengomlilo olesolufa, uyawuthungela.
