Isaia 47
1 E IHO ilalo, a e noho ma ka lepo, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o Babulona, E noho ma ka honua, aoho noho alii, e ke kaikamahine o Kaledea; No ka mea, aole oe e hea hou ia he puloku, a palupalu.
“Yehla uhlale othulini Ndodakazi emsulwa yaseBhabhiloni, hlala emhlabathini ungelasihlalo sobukhosi, ndodakazi yamaBhabhiloni. Akusayikuthiwa ubuthakathaka loba kuthiwe uthambile.
2 E lawe i ka mea kaapalaoa, a e kaa hoi i ka palaoa, E wehe i kou pale maka, e waiho aku ka huakapu, E wehe i ka uha, a e hele ae i kela aoao o na muliwai.
Thatha amatshe okuchola uchole impuphu; ukhuphe isimbombozo sakho. Phakamisa izidwaba zakho, uveze imilenze yakho, ugxabhaze udabule ezifuleni.
3 E weheia auanei kou hena, a e ikeia hoi kou wahi hilahila; E hoopai io no wau, aole e pakele kekahi kanaka ia'u.
Ubunqunu bakho buzavezwa, ihlazo lakho lambuleke. Ngizaphindisela, kakho engizamyekela.”
4 O ko kakou Hoolapanai, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa, O ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela.
Umhlengi wethu uThixo uSomandla libizo lakhe ungoNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
5 E noho ekemu ole oe, a e hele aku hoi, a iloko o ka pouli, E ke kaikamahine o ko Kaledea; No ka mea, aole oe e kapa hou ia. He haku wahine o na aupuni.
“Hlala ngokuthula, yana emnyameni, ndodakazi yamaKhaladiya; awuyikubizwa ngokuthi ndlovukazi yemibuso futhi.
6 Ukiuki aku la au i ko'u poe kanaka, Ua hoohaumia au i ko'u poe hooilina, Ua haawi hoi au ia lakou iloko o kou lima; Aole oe i hoike aku i ke aloha ia lakou, Ua hookaumaha oe i kau auamo maluna o ka mea elemakule.
Ngabathukuthelela abantu bami, ngangcolisa ilifa lami, ngabanikela ezandleni zakho, kawaze waba lesihawu kubo. Lasebeluphele, wabethesa ijogwe elinzima.
7 Ua olelo no oe, E mau loa no ko'u noho haku wahine ana; Aole hoi oe i manao i keia mau mea ma kou naau, Aole i noonoo i kona hope.
Wathi, ‘Ngizaqhubeka kokuphela ngiyindlovukazi nini lanini.’ Kodwa kawuzinakanga lezizinto, kumbe unakane ngokungenzakala.
8 Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oe i keia, e ka mea olioli, Ka mea e noho makau ole ana; Ka mea olelo ma kou naau, Owau ana no, aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au; Aole au e noho wahine kanemake ana, Aole hoi au e ike i ka lilo keiki ana,
Khathesi-ke lalela, wena sidalwa esingazibekanga, wena ocambaleleyo uvikelekile usithi ngenhliziyo yakho, ‘Mina yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami, angisoze ngaba ngumfelokazi kumbe ngifelwe ngabantwana.’
9 Aka, e kau hoohikilele mai no keia mau mea elua maluna ou, ma ka la hookahi, O ka lilo keiki ana, a me ka wahinekanemake ana: E kau loa mai no ia mau mea maluna ou ma ka oiaio maoli, No ka nui o kou kilokilo ana, a no ka nui loa o kou hoopiopio ana.
Kodwa lokhu kokubili kuzakwehlela ngokuphangisa, ngasuku lunye ukufelwa ngabantwana lobufelokazi. Lokhu kuzakwehlela phezu kwakho ngokugcweleyo, bungakhathelekile ubuthakathi bakho layo yonke imilingo yakho elamandla.
10 Ua hilinai no hoi oe ma kou hewa; A ua olelo no oe, Aohe mea ike mai ia'u. O kou akamai, a me kou ike, ua hookahuli ia ia oe; A ua olelo no oe maloko o kou naau, Owau ana no, aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au.
Wethembele ebubini bakho, njalo watsho wathi, ‘Kakho ongibonayo.’ Inhlakanipho yakho lolwazi lwakho kuyakukhohlisa lapho usithi kuwe, ‘Mina yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.’
11 Nolaila, e hiki mai no ka hewa maluna ou, Aole oe e ike i kahi e hiki mai ai; E haule mai no ka popilikia maluna ou, Aole hiki ia oe ke kala aku ia. E hele hoohikilele mai no ka make maluna ou, Aole oe e ike aku.
Incithakalo izakwehlela phezu kwakho, njalo awuyikwazi ukuyivikela ngemilingo. Umonakalo uzakwehlela phezu kwakho, ongeke uwuvimbe ngenhlawulo, lengozi ongeke uyikhumbulele izakujuma.
12 E ku mai hoi oe me kou hoopiopio ana, A me kou kilokilo ana, he nui loa, Me ka mea au i hooikaika'i, mai kou wa opiopio mai; Ina paha e hiki ia oe ke hoopomaikaiia, Ina paha e ku lanakila oe.
Qhubeka-ke ngemilingo yakho, langobuthakathi bakho obunengi okusebenza kusukela ebantwaneni bakho. Mhlawumbe uzaphumelela, kumbe njalo wenze kube lokwesaba.
13 Ua luhi no oe i ka nui loa o kou kukakuka ana: E ku mai ano na kilolani, a me na kilokilohoku, a me na mea haiouli ma ka malama, A e hoola hoi ia oe, mai ka mea e hiki mai ana maluna ou.
Zonke izeluleko owazitholayo zikucobile. Izazi zezinkanyezi kazisondele, labahloli bezinkanyezi ababika ngokuzakwenzakala inyanga ngenyanga. Kabakuhlenge kulokhu okuzakwehlela.
14 Aia hoi, e like auanei lakou me ka opala, Na ke ahi no lakou e hoopau; Aole lakou e hoopakele ia lakou iho, mai ka mana o ka lapalapa ahi; Aole e koe ana ka lanahu ahi i mea e mahaua'i, Aole ahi e koe, i noho kekahi imua o ia.
Impela banjengamahlanga; umlilo uzabatshisa futhi bangeke bazihlenga emandleni amalangabi. Lapha akulamalahle okothiwa ngumuntu; lapha akulamlilo wokotha.
15 Pela auanei ia oe, ka poe au i hana pu ai, Kou poe kalepa hoi, mai kou wa opiopio mai: E auwana no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao iho, Aohe mea e hoola ia oe.
Lokho yikho abangakwenzela khona labo owasebenza labo, uthengiselana labo kusukela ebuntwaneni. Omunye lomunye wabo uyaqhubeka ngesiphosiso sakhe; kakho ongakusindisa.”
