U-Isaya 16 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

1Thumelani izimvu njengendlela yokuhlonipha

kumbusi welizwe

evela eSela, edabula enkangala,

esiya entabeni yeNdodakazi yeZiyoni.

2Njengenyoni ephaphazelayo

isuswe esidlekeni,

banjalo abesifazane baseMowabi

emazibukweni ase-Arinoni.

3UMowabi uthi, “Zinzisani ingqondo zenu

lenze isinqumo.

Yenzani isithunzi senu sibe njengobusuku

emini enkulu;

bafihleni ababalekayo,

linganikeli iziphepheli.

4Vumelani iziphepheli zamaMowabi zihlale kini;

libe yisiphephelo sazo kubachithi.”

Umncindezeli uzakufa,

ukuchitheka kuzaphela,

umhlaseli uzanyamalala elizweni.

5Ngothando, kuzamiswa isihlalo sobukhosi;

ngokwethembeka, indoda izahlala kuso,

ivela endlini kaDavida,

yona ethi ekwahluleleni ifune imfanelo,

njalo iphangisisa indlela yokulunga.

6Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kukaMowabi.

Ukuzigqaja kwakhe kokuzikhukhumeza lokuzazisa,

ukuzigqaja kwakhe lobuqholo bakhe,

kodwa ukuzikhukhumeza kwakhe kuyize.

7Ngakho-ke abaseMowabi bayalila,

balilela iMowabi bonke.

Khalani libubulele

izinkwa ezilezithelo zevini eKhiri-Haresethi.

8Amasimu aseHeshibhoni ayabuna,

anjalo lamavini aseSibhima.

Ababusi bezizwe

sebewanyathelele phansi amavini amahle

kuqala ayefika eJazeri,

njalo anda kusiya ngasenkangala.

Amahlumela awo anaba

aze ayafika ngasolwandle.

9Ngakho ngiyakhala njengalokhu iJazeri ikhala,

ngikhalela amavini aseSibhima.

Awu Heshibhoni lawe Eliyale,

ngilithambisa ngezinyembezi.

Ukuklabalalela izithelo zenu esezivuthiwe

ngentokozo lezivuno zenu sekuphelile.

10Ukuthokoza lokuthaba akusekho ezivinini;

kakho ohlabelayo loba amemeze ezivinini;

kakho onyathela iwayini ezikhamelweni

ngoba umsindo sengiwuqedile.

11Inhliziyo yami ikhalela uMowabi njengechacho,

ingaphakathi yami ikhalela iKhiri-Haresethi.

12Lapho uMowabi evela endaweni yakhe ephakemeyo

uyazidinisa nje kuphela;

lalapho esiya endaweni yakhe yokukhonzela

ukuba akhuleke akusizi lutho.

13Leli yilizwi uThixo avele eselikhulumile ngoMowabi.

14Kodwa khathesi uThixo uthi: “Phakathi kweminyaka emithathu, njengesisebenzi esibotshwe yisivumelwano singayibala, udumo lukaMowabi labantu bakhe bonke abanengi kuzakweyiswa, njalo abazasinda bakhona bazakuba balutshwana kakhulu njalo bengelamandla.”
