< Isaiah 65 >

1 I let myself be consulted by [those who] not they had asked I let myself be found by [those who] not they had sought me I said here [am] I here [am] I to a nation [which] not it had been called by name my.
Ngadingwa yilabo abangangicelanga; ngatholwa yilabo abangangidinganga. Ngathi: Ngikhangelani, ngikhangelani, esizweni esingabizwa ngebizo lami.
2 I spread out hands my all the day to a people rebellious who walk the way not good after own thoughts their.
Ngelule izandla zami usuku lonke ebantwini abavukelayo, abahamba ngendlela engalunganga, belandela imicabango yabo;
3 The people who provoke to anger me on face my continually [who] sacrifice in gardens and [who] make smoke on the bricks.
abantu abangithukuthelisayo njalonjalo ebusweni bami, abenza imihlatshelo ezivandeni, betshisa impepha phezu kwezitina;
4 Who sit among the graves and in secret places they spend [the] night who eat [the] flesh of the pig (and broth of *Q(K)*) unclean meat [is] vessels their.
abahlala emangcwabeni, balale endaweni ezisithekileyo, abadla inyama yengulube, lomhluzi wezinto ezinengekayo emiganwini yabo.
5 Who say draw near to yourself may not you draw near to me for I am set apart from you these [people] [are] smoke in nose my a fire [which] burns all the day.
Abathi: Xeka wena, ungasondeli kimi; ngoba ngingcwele kulawe. Laba bayintuthu emakhaleni ami, umlilo otshisayo usuku lonke.
6 Here! [it is] written before me not I will be silent that except I will repay and I will repay on bosom their.
Khangela, kubhaliwe phambi kwami: Kangiyikuthula, kodwa ngizaphindisela, yebo ngiphindisele esifubeni sabo,
7 Iniquities your and [the] iniquities of ancestors your together he says Yahweh who they made smoke on the mountains and on the hills they taunted me and I will measure work their first (into *Q(K)*) bosom their.
iziphambeko zenu, leziphambeko zaboyihlo kanyekanye, itsho iNkosi, abatshise impepha phezu kwezintaba, bangithuka phezu kwamaqaqa; ngakho ngizalinganisa imisebenzi yabo yakuqala esifubeni sabo.
8 Thus - he says Yahweh just as it is found the new wine in the cluster of grapes and someone says may not you destroy it for blessing [is] in it so I will act for [the] sake of servants my to not to destroy everyone.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Njengewayini elitsha litholwa ehlukuzweni, lomunye athi: Ungalibhubhisi, ngoba isibusiso sikulo; ngizakwenza njalo ngenxa yenceku zami, ukuze ngingazibhubhisi zonke.
9 And I will bring out from Jacob offspring and from Judah [the] possessor of mountains my and they will take possession of it chosen ones my and servants my they will dwell there.
Njalo ngizaveza inzalo ivela kuJakobe, lakoJuda kuvele indlalifa yezintaba zami; labakhethiweyo bami bazakudla ilifa lazo, lenceku zami zihlale khona.
10 And it will become Sharon a pasture of sheep and [the] valley of Achor a resting place of cattle for people my who they have sought me.
Njalo iSharoni izakuba yisibaya semihlambi, lesihotsha seAkori sibe yindawo yokulala yenkomo, eyabantu bami abangidingayo.
11 And you [who] forsake Yahweh forgetting [the] mountain of holiness my who arrange for Fortune a table and who fill for Destiny mixed wine.
Kodwa lina elidela iNkosi, elikhohlwa intaba yami engcwele, elihlelele leloviyo itafula, njalo eligcwalisele lelonani umnikelo wokunathwayo.
12 And I will appoint you to the sword and all of you to the slaughter you will bow down because I called and not you answered I spoke and not you listened and you did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired you chose.
Ngakho ngizalimisela inkemba, njalo lonke lizakhothamela ukuhlatshwa; ngoba ngalibiza, kodwa kaliphendulanga, ngakhuluma, kodwa kalizwanga, kodwa lenza okubi emehlweni ami, lakhetha lokho engingathokozanga ngakho.
13 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! servants my - they will eat and you you will be hungry here! servants my they will drink and you you will be thirsty here! servants my they will rejoice and you you will be ashamed.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, izinceku zami zizakudla, kodwa lina lizalamba; khangela, inceku zami zizanatha, kodwa lina lizakoma; khangela, inceku zami zizathokoza, kodwa lina lizayangeka;
14 Here! servants my they will shout for joy from goodness of heart and you you will cry out from pain of heart and from brokenness of spirit you will wail.
khangela, inceku zami zizahlabela ngentokozo yenhliziyo, kodwa lina lizakhala ngenxa yokudabuka kwenhliziyo, liqhinqe isililo ngenxa yokudabuka komoya.
15 And you will leave name your to a curse to chosen ones my and he will put to death you [the] Lord Yahweh and servants his he will call a name another.
Njalo lizatshiya ibizo lenu libe yisiqalekiso kwabakhethiweyo bami, ngoba iNkosi uJehova izalibulala; kodwa izabiza inceku zayo ngelinye ibizo;
16 That the [one who] blesses himself in the land he will bless himself by [the] God of surely and the [one who] swears an oath in the land he will swear an oath by [the] God of surely that they will be forgotten the troubles former and for they will be hidden from eyes my.
ukuthi lowo ozibusisa emhlabeni uzazibusisa kuNkulunkulu weqiniso, lalowo ofunga emhlabeni uzafunga ngoNkulunkulu weqiniso; ngoba inhlupheko zakuqala sezikhohlakele, njalo ngoba zisithekile emehlweni ami.
17 For here I [am] about to create heavens new and an earth new and not they will be remembered the former [things] and not they will come up on a heart.
Ngoba khangela, ngidala amazulu amatsha lomhlaba omutsha; okwakuqala kakusayikukhunjulwa, kumbe kuvele enhliziyweni.
18 That except rejoice and be glad until perpetuity [that] which I [am] about to create for here I [am] about to create Jerusalem gladness and people its rejoicing.
Kodwa jabulani, lithokoze kuze kube laphakade ngengikudalayo, ngoba khangela, ngidala iJerusalema ibe yintokozo, labantu bayo babe yinjabulo.
19 And I will be glad in Jerusalem and I will rejoice in people my and not it will be heard in it again a sound of weeping and a sound of a cry of distress.
Ngizathokoza-ke ngeJerusalema, ngijabule ngabantu bami; njalo kalisayikuzwakala kuyo ilizwi lokulila lelizwi lokukhala.
20 Not it will be from there again a sucking child of days and an old [person] who not he will complete days his for the young man a son of one hundred year[s] he will die and the [one who] misses a son of one hundred year[s] he will be cursed.
Kusukela lapho kakusayikuba khona usane lwezinsuku, kumbe ixhegu elingagcwalisi insuku zalo; ngoba omutsha uzakufa eleminyaka elikhulu, kodwa isoni esileminyaka elikhulu sizaqalekiswa.
21 And they will build houses and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will eat fruit their.
Njalo bazakwakha izindlu, bahlale kuzo; bahlanyele izivini, badle izithelo zazo.
22 Not they will build and another he will dwell not they will plant and another he will eat for [will be] like [the] days of tree [the] days of people my and [the] work of hands their they will use to [the] full chosen ones my.
Kabayikwakha, kuhlale-ke omunye; kabayikuhlanyela, kudle-ke omunye; ngoba insuku zabantu bami zizakuba njengensuku zesihlahla, labakhethwa bami bazakholisa umsebenzi wezandla zabo okwesikhathi eside.
23 Not they will labor to emptiness and not they will father children for sudden terror for [will be] [the] offspring of [those] blessed of Yahweh they and descendants their [will be] with them.
Kabayikutshikatshikela ize, loba bazalele uhlupho; ngoba bayinzalo yababusisiweyo beNkosi, lembewu yabo kanye labo.
24 And it will be before they will call and I I will answer still they [will be] speaking and I I will hear.
Kuzakuthi-ke bengakabizi, mina ngiphendule; lapho besakhuluma, mina-ke ngizwe.
25 Wolf and lamb they will graze as one and [the] lion like the ox it will eat straw and a snake [will be] dust food its not they will do harm and not they will destroy in all [the] mountain of holiness my he says Yahweh.
Impisi lewundlu kuzakudla ndawonye, lesilwane sidle amahlanga njengenkomo, lothuli lube yikudla kwenyoka. Kaziyikulimaza kumbe zibhubhise kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele, itsho iNkosi.
