U-Isaya 34 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Ukwahlulelwa Kwezizwe

1Sondelani lina zizwe, lilalele;

zwanini lina bantu!

Umhlaba kawulalele, lakho konke okukiwo,

umhlaba, lakho konke okuvela kuwo!

2 UThixo uthukuthelele izizwe zonke,

ulaka lwakhe luphezu kwezitha zabo zonke.

Uzazibhubhisa ngokupheleleyo,

uzazinikela ekubulaweni.

3Ababuleweyo bakibo bazaphoselwa ngaphandle,

izidumbu zabo zizanuka;

izintaba zizacwila egazini labo.

4Zonke izinkanyezi zasemazulwini zizanyamalala,

umkhathi ugoqwe njengomqulu;

wonke amaxuku ezinkanyezi

azakuwa njengamahlamvu abunileyo evinini

lanjengomkhiwa oswabileyo usiwa esihlahleni somkhiwa.

5Inkemba yami isinathe yanela emazulwini;

khangelani yehlela phezu kwe-Edomi ukulahlulela,

abantu esengibabhubhise baphela.

6Inkemba kaThixo igxanyuzwe egazini,

igcwele amafutha

igazi lezimvu lelembuzi,

amafutha ezinso zenqama.

Ngoba uThixo ulomhlatshelo eBhozira

lokubulawa okukhulu kwezifuyo e-Edomi.

7Inyathi zizakufa kanye lazo,

amathole azinkunzi kanye lenkunzi ezinkulu.

Ilizwe labo lizagcwala igazi,

umhlabathi uzakuba manzi ngamafutha.

8Ngoba uThixo ulosuku lokuphindisela,

umnyaka wokujezisa, ukuqinisa injongo yeZiyoni.

9Izifula zase-Edomi zizaphendulwa zibe yingcino,

umhlabathi wakhona ube ngumlilo wesolufa,

ilizwe lakhona lizakuba yingcino etshayo!

10Aliyikucitshwa ebusuku lemini;

intuthu yalo izathunqa kokuphela.

Lizakuba ngelichithiweyo

kusukela kusizukulwane kusiya kwesinye;

kakho ozadabula phakathi kwalo futhi.

11Isikhova senkangala lomandukulo kuzakwakha kulo;

isikhova esikhulu lewabayi kuzakwakha izidleke zakho kulo.

UNkulunkulu uzakwelulela phezu kwe-Edomi

intambo yokulinganisa incithakalo

lentambo yokulinganisa ukutshabalala.

12Izikhulu zalo kaziyikuba lalutho olungathiwa ngumbuso,

wonke amakhosana alo azanyamalala.

13Izinqaba zalo zizagcwala ameva,

imbabazane lokhula kugcwale kuziphephelo zalo.

Lizakuba yindawo yamakhanka,

lomuzi wezikhova.

14Izinyamazana zenkangala zizahlangana lezimpisi,

amagogo azakhalelana;

izidalwa zebusuku zizalala khona

zizifunele izindawo zokuphumula.

15Isikhova sizakwakha isidleke khona sibekele amaqanda,

sizawachamisela, sifukamele abantwana baso

ngaphansi komthunzi wempiko zaso,

lemizwazwa izabuthana khonapho,

yilowo lalowo lomngane wawo.

16Khangelani encwadini kaThixo lifunde okuthi:

Akukho lakunye kwalokhu okuzasweleka;

akukho okuzaswela umngane wakho.

Ngoba nguThixo onike umlayo,

loMoya wakhe uzazigoqela ndawonye.

17Uzakwahlukanisela izabelo zakho;

isandla sakhe sizakwabela ngesilinganiso.

Isabelo sizakuba lilifa lakho kokuphela,

njalo sizahlala khona kusukela kusizukulwane kusiya kusizukulwane.
