uIsaya uIsaya 16 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Thumani umangaleli wehlabathi ephuma eSela, aye entlango, entabeni yentombi enguZiyon.

2Kuba njengentaka ephaphazelayo eshiywe kwindlwane yayo, zinjalo iintombi zakwaMowabhi kwimilambo yaseArnon.

3Cebani icebo, zigwebeni; senza isithunzi sakho sibe njengobusuku emva kwemini; fihla abagxothiweyo; Sukuzenza ngathi uyabhadula.

4Mabahlale nawe abathinjwa, uMowabhi; Yiba lihlathi kubo ebusweni bombhuqi; ngokuba abaphangi abasekho, umbhuqi uphelile, abacinezeli abasekho ehlabathini.

5Yaye itrone iya kumiselwa ngokuqinileyo ngenceba, yaye uya kuhlala phezu kwayo enenyaniso ententeni kaDavide, ngoxa elindele umgwebo nokusesikweni nokukhawulezisa ubulungisa.

6Silivile ikratshi likaMowabhi; unekratshi kakhulu, ewe, nekratshi lakhe, nekratshi lakhe, nomsindo wakhe;

7Ngako oko uMowabhi uya kukhalela uMowabhi, akhale uMowabhi; uya kulilela iziseko zeKir-haresheti; ngenene babethwe.

8Kuba amasimi aseHeshbhon abunile, neediliya zaseSibhema; Abathetheli beentlanga baziqhekeza iziseko zabo, beza eYazere, babhadula entlango; amasebe awo anaba phezu kolwandle.

9Ngako oko ndiya kuwulila ngokulila kukaYashere, womdiliya waseSibhema; ndikunyakamisa ngeenyembezi zam, Heshbhon, nawe Elale, ngenxa yokuba ukukhala kwakho kuye kwafika ngenxa yeziqhamo zakho zasehlotyeni nangenxa yokuvuna kwakho.

10Kwaye uvuyo nemigcobo isusiwe entsimini etyebileyo; kodwa ezidiliyeni akuyi kubakho kuvuma nakukuvuya; Ndayeka ukukhala kwabo kwakudala.

11Ngako oko izibilini zam ziya kukhala njengezembe kwaMowabhi, izibilini zam zikhala eKir-hares.

12Xa kubonakala ukuba uMowabhi udiniwe, uya kuthandaza engcweleni yakhe; kodwa akayi kuphumelela.

13Lilo elo ilizwi awalithethayo uYehova ngoMowabhi ukususela ngelo xesha ukuya phambili.

14Wathetha uYehova, wathi, Kungekadluli iminyaka emithathu, njengeminyaka yomqeshwa, buya kudeleka uzuko lukaMowabhi, kunye nenani elikhulu labantu; kwaye intsalela iya kuba ncinane kakhulu, ibe buthathaka.
