U-Isaya 25 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Dumisani UThixo

1Oh Thixo, wena unguNkulunkulu wami;

ngizakudumisa ngibabaza ibizo lakho

ngoba ngokuthembeka okupheleleyo,

wenze izinto ezimangalisayo,

izinto ezamiswa endulo.

2Wenze idolobho laba yinqwaba yemfucuza;

idolobho elivikelweyo laba lunxiwa,

inqaba yabezizweni kayiseyilo dolobho;

kayiyikwakhiwa futhi.

3Ngakho-ke abantu abalamandla bazakudumisa,

amadolobho ezizwe ezilolunya azakwesaba.

4Ubuyisiphephelo sabayanga,

isiphephelo soswelayo osizini lwakhe,

isivikelo phakathi kwesiphepho

lomthunzi ekutshiseni kwelanga.

Ngoba umoya wabalesihluku

unjengesiphepho sitshayeka emdulini,

5lanjengokutshisa kwasenkangala.

Wena uthulisa umsindo wabezizweni;

njengokutshisa kusehliswa ngumthunzi weyezi,

ithuliswa kanjalo lengoma yaba lesihluku.

6Phezu kwale intaba uThixo uSomandla uzakwenzela

abantu bonke idili lokudla okumnandi,

idili lewayini elidala,

inyama enhle kakhulu lewayini elihle kakhulu.

7Phezu kwale intaba uzadiliza

isembeso esimboze abantu bonke,

ilembu elembese izizwe zonke;

8uzakuginya kokuphela ukufa.

UThixo Wobukhosi uzakwesula inyembezi

ebusweni babantu bonke;

uzasusa ihlazo labantu bakhe

emhlabeni wonke.

UThixo usekhulumile.

9Ngalolosuku bazakuthi,

“Ngempela lo nguNkulunkulu wethu;

sethemba kuye, wasikhulula.

Lo nguThixo, sethemba kuye;

kasithokozeni sithabe ngokusisindisa kwakhe.”

10Isandla sikaThixo sizahlala phezu kwalintaba;

kodwa uMowabi uzanyathelelwa ngaphansi ezweni lakhe

njengotshani bunyathelelwa phansi emqubeni.

11Bazakwelulela izandla zabo kuye,

njengenhlambi iselula izandla zayo ukuba intsheze.

UNkulunkulu uzakuqeda ukuzigqaja kwabo

phezu kokuhlakanipha kwezandla zabo.

12Uzadiliza izinqaba zenu eziphakemeyo

azibhidlizele phansi;

uzazidilizela phansi emhlabathini,

kulo kanye uthuli.
