< Isaiah 29 >

1 Woe to! Ariel Ariel [the] town [where] he camped David add year to year festivals let them go around.
Maye kuyo iAriyeli, kuyo iAriyeli umuzi uDavida amisa kuwo inkamba! Yengezelelani umnyaka emnyakeni; kayibhode imikhosi.
2 And I will bring distress to Ariel and it will be mourning and lamentation and it will be to me like Ariel.
Kanti ngizayicindezela iAriyeli, njalo kube khona ukulila losizi; njalo kuzakuba njengeAriyeli kimi.
3 And I will encamp like circle on you and I will lay siege on you siege-works and I will raise on you fortifications.
Njalo ngizamisa inkamba inhlangothi zakho zonke, ngikuvimbezele ngedundulu, ngikumisele izinqaba ezimelene lawe.
4 And you will become low from [the] ground you will speak and from [the] dust it will be humbled utterance your and it will be like a necromancer from [the] ground voice your and from [the] dust utterance your it will whisper.
Njalo uzakwehliselwa phansi, ukhulume usemhlabathini, lenkulumo yakho izakuba phansi ethulini, lelizwi lakho lizakuba njengeloledlozi liphuma emhlabathini, lenkulumo yakho ibe ngumlozwi ophuma othulini.
5 And it will be like dust fine [the] multitude of strangers your and like chaff [which] passes away [the] multitude of ruthless [people] and it will happen to suddenness suddenly.
Njalo ixuku labezizwe bakho lizakuba njengothuli olucholekileyo, lexuku labalesihluku njengamakhoba adlulayo. Yebo, kuzahle kube masinyane.
6 From with Yahweh of hosts you will be visited with thunder and with earthquake and noise great a storm-wind and a tempest and a flame of fire devouring.
Uzakwethekelelwa yiNkosi yamabandla ngomdumo, langokuzamazama komhlaba, lomsindo omkhulu, isivunguzane, lesiphepho, lelangabi lomlilo oqothulayo.
7 And it will be like a dream a vision of [the] night [the] multitude of all the nations which wage war on Ariel and all [those who] wage war against it and stronghold its and those [who] bring distress to it.
Lexuku lezizwe zonke elilwa limelene leAriyeli, ngitsho zonke ezilwa zimelene layo lezinqaba zayo, leziyicindezelayo, zizakuba njengephupho, umbono wobusuku.
8 And it will be just as he dreams the hungry [person] and there! [he is] eating and he awakes and [is] empty appetite his and just as he dreams the thirsty [person] and there! [he is] drinking and he awakes and there! [he is] faint and throat his [is] longing so it will be [the] multitude of all the nations which wage war on [the] mountain of Zion.
Kuzakuba lanjengolambileyo ephupha, khangela-ke, uyadla, kodwa aphaphame, lomphefumulo wakhe ungelalutho; loba njengowomileyo ephupha, khangela-ke, uyanatha, kodwa aphaphame, khangela-ke uphelelwa ngamandla, lomphefumulo wakhe uyalangatha; lizakuba njalo ixuku lazo zonke izizwe ezilwa zimelene lentaba iZiyoni.
9 Delay and be astounded blind yourselves and be blind people have become drunk and not wine people have staggered and not strong drink.
Manini, lithithibale; zithokoziseni liphumputheke; badakiwe, kodwa hatshi ngewayini; bayadiyazela, kodwa hatshi ngenxa yokunathwayo okulamandla.
10 For he has poured out on you Yahweh a spirit of deep sleep and he has shut eyes your the prophets and heads your the seers he has covered.
Ngoba iNkosi ithululele phezu kwenu umoya wobuthongo obunzima, yavala amehlo enu; abaprofethi lezinhloko zenu, ababoni, ibagubuzele.
11 And it has become for you [the] vision of the whole like [the] words of the scroll sealed which people give it to [one who] knows (writing *Q(K)*) saying read aloud please this and he says not I am able for [is] sealed it.
Lawo wonke umbono usube kini njengamazwi ogwalo olunanyekiweyo okuthi balunika owazi umbhalo, besithi: Bala lokhu siyakuncenga; yena athi: Ngingeke, ngoba lunanyekiwe.
12 And it is given the scroll to [one] who not he knows writing saying read aloud please this and he says not I know writing.
Ugwalo beselunikwa ongazi umbhalo, besithi: Bala lokhu, siyakuncenga; yena athi: Kangiwazi umbhalo.
13 And he said [the] Lord because for it has drawn near the people this with mouth its and with lips its they have honored me and heart its it has made far away from me and it has been fear their [of] me a commandment of people [which] has been taught.
INkosi yasisithi: Ngenxa yokuthi lababantu besondela ngomlomo wabo langezindebe zabo bengihlonipha, kodwa babeka inhliziyo yabo khatshana lami, lokungesaba kwabo kufundiswa ngumlayo wabantu;
14 Therefore here I he will repeat to deal wonderfully with the people this highly and a wonder and it will perish [the] wisdom of wise [people] its and [the] understanding of understanding [people] its it will hide itself.
ngakho, khangela, ngizaqhubeka ukukwenza ngokumangalisayo lalababantu, umsebenzi omangalisayo lesimanga; ngoba inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo babo izaphela, lokuqedisisa kwabaqedisisayo babo kucatshe.
15 Woe to! those [who] make deep from Yahweh to hide a plan and it is in a dark place deeds their and they have said who? [is] seeing us and who? [is] perceiving us.
Maye kulabo abajula besuka eNkosini ukuze bafihle icebo labo, lemisebenzi yabo isemnyameni, bathi: Ngubani osibonayo? Njalo ngubani osaziyo?
16 Perversity your? like [the] clay of the potter will he be regarded that it will say a thing made to [the] [one who] made it not he made me and a pot it said to potter its not he has understood.
Ukugonqomisa kwenu kuthiwa kunjengebumba lombumbi! Ngoba umsebenzi uzakutsho yini ngaye owenzileyo ukuthi: Kangenzanga? Kumbe okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini ngombumbi wakho ukuthi: Kaqedisisi?
17 ¿ Not yet a little of a little and it will turn Lebanon into orchard and the orchard to forest it will be considered.
Kakuseyisikhatshana esifitshane yini, ukuthi iLebhanoni iphendulwe ibe yinsimu ethelayo, lensimu ethelayo ithiwe injengehlathi?
18 And they will hear in the day that the deaf [people] [the] words of a scroll and from gloom and from darkness [the] eyes of blind [people] they will see.
Njalo ngalolosuku izacuthe zizakuzwa amazwi ogwalo, lamehlo eziphofu abone ekufiphaleni lemnyameni.
19 And they will add humble [people] in Yahweh joy and needy [people] of humankind in [the] holy [one] of Israel they will be glad.
Abathobekileyo labo bazakwandisa intokozo eNkosini, labangabayanga ebantwini bathokoze koNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
20 For he will come to an end [the] ruthless person and he will come to an end [the] mocker and they will be cut off all [those who] lie in wait wickedness.
Ngoba olesihluku uzaphela, lodelelayo uqediwe, labo bonke abalindele okubi baqunyiwe;
21 [those who] cause to sin a person With a word and for the [one who] adjudicates in the gate they lay a trap! and they have turned aside with emptiness [the] righteous [person].
abenza umuntu one ngelizwi, bambekele umjibila okhuzayo esangweni, baphambule olungileyo ngento engelutho.
22 Therefore thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Jacob who he redeemed Abraham not now it will be ashamed Jacob and not now face its they will grow pale.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi eyahlenga uAbrahama, ngendlu kaJakobe: Khathesi uJakobe kayikuba lanhloni, lobuso bakhe khathesi kabuyikuhloba.
23 For when sees it children its [the] work of hands my in midst its they will regard as holy name my and they will regard as holy [the] holy [one] of Jacob and [the] God of Israel they will regard with awe.
Ngoba lapho ebona abantwana bakhe, umsebenzi wezandla zami, phakathi kwakhe, bazangcwelisa ibizo lami; bangcwelise oNgcwele kaJakobe, besabe uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
24 And they will know [those who] go astray of spirit understanding and murmurers they will learn instruction.
Lalabo abaduhayo emoyeni bazakwazi ukuqedisisa, labangungunayo bazafunda imfundiso.
