U-Isaya 29 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Maye Kulo Idolobho LikaDavida

1Maye kuwe Ariyeli, Ariyeli,

idolobho uDavida ahlala kulo!

Yengezelela umnyaka emnyakeni

Wenze ukulandelana kwemikhosi yakho kuqhubeke.

2Ikanti i-Ariyeli ngizalivimbezela,

lizakhala lilile,

kimi lizafana leziko le-alithari.

3Ngizakuhlasela amacele wonke,

ngizakuzungeza ngemiphotshongo

ngikuvimbezele ngemisebenzi yokukuhlasela.

4Nxa usudilizelwe phansi, uzakhuluma uphansi,

inkulumo yakho ayiyikuzwakala ivela othulini.

Ilizwi lakho lizafana lelethonga liphuma phansi emhlabathini.

Ilizwi lakho lizanyenyeza liphuma othulini.

5Kodwa izitha zakho ezinengi,

zizakuba njengothuli olucolekileyo,

amaxuku alesihluku afane lamakhoba aphephukayo.

Masinyazana, ngesikhatshana nje,

6 UThixo uSomandla uzafika

ngomdumo langokunyikinyeka komhlaba langomsindo omkhulu;

ngesiphepho langesivunguzane langamalangabi omlilo oqothulayo.

7Lapho-ke amaxuku ezizwe zonke ezilwa le-Ariyeli,

ayihlaselayo kanye lezinqaba zayo,

njalo eyizungezile, azakuba njengephupho,

lilombono webusuku,

8njengomuntu olambileyo ephupha esidla,

kodwa aphaphame ukulamba kwakhe kulokhu kunjalo,

lanjengalapho umuntu owomileyo ephupha enatha

kodwa aphaphame engelamandla, ukoma kwakhe kungaphelanga.

Kuzakuba njalo lakumaxuku ezizwe zonke

ezilwa leNtaba iZiyoni.

9Thithibalani limangale,

zenzeni iziphofu lingabe lisabona;

dakwani kodwa kungabi

ngenxa yotshwala.

10 UThixo ulehlisele ubuthongo obukhulu:

uwavalile amehlo enu (abaphrofethi);

wagubuzela amakhanda enu (izanuse).

11Kini umbono wonke lo kawusilutho kodwa amazwi nje avalelwe encwadini egoqiweyo. Njalo nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu okwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Anganelisi, ngoba ivaliwe.”

12Loba nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu ongakwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Angikwazi ukubala.”

13UThixo uthi:

“Abantu laba basondela kimi ngemilomo yabo

bangikhonze ngezindebe zabo,

kodwa inhliziyo zabo zikude lami;

ukungikhonza kwabo

kwenziwa kuphela nje ngemilayo abayifundiswa ngabantu.

14Ngakho-ke abantu laba ngizaphinda ngibethuse

ngesimanga phezu kwesimanga;

inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo izaphela,

ulwazi lwezazi lunyamalale.”

15Maye kulabo abatshona phansi ukuba

bafihlele uThixo amacebo abo,

abenzela imisebenzi yabo emnyameni bacabange bathi,

“Ngubani osibonayo? Ngubani ozakwazi?”

16Lina lihlanekela izinto kube

sengathi kucatshangwa ukuthi umbumbi unjengebumba.

Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kokubumbileyo kuthi,

“Kangibumbanga”?

Imbiza ingatsho na kumbumbi ithi,

“Kazi lutho”?

17Ngesikhatshana esifitshane nje,

iLebhanoni kayiyikuphendulwa ibe yinsimu evundileyo,

kuthi insimu evundileyo ifane legusu na?

18Ngalolosuku izacuthe zizawezwa amazwi omqulu,

njalo ekukhanyeni lebumnyameni

amehlo eziphofu abone emnyameni omkhulu.

19Abathobekileyo bazathokoza futhi kuThixo,

abaswelayo bazathokoza koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

20Abalesihluku bazanyamalala,

abahleka usulu abayikuba khona,

bonke abathanda ukwenza okubi bazabhujiswa,

21labo abenza umuntu abe lecala ngokufakaza amanga,

abathiya umvikeli enkundleni yamacala,

kuthi ngobufakazi obungamanga

benze omsulwa angehlulelwa ngemfanelo.

22Ngakho-ke lokhu yikho uThixo owahlenga u-Abhrahama akutshoyo kwabendlu kaJakhobe:

“UJakhobe kasayikuba lenhloni,

ubuso bakhe kabusayikudana.

23Lapho bebona abantwana babo,

umsebenzi wezandla zami,

bazakwenza ibizo lami libengcwele;

bazabubona ubungcwele boNgcwele kaJakhobe,

njalo bazamesaba uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

24Abalahlekileyo emoyeni bazakuba lokuzwisisa;

abasolayo bazavuma ukufundiswa.”
