< U-Isaya 10 >

1 Maye kulabo abenza imithetho emibi, lakulabo ababhala izimiso ezincindezelayo,
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻae fono taʻemāʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku tohi ʻae mamahi ʻaia kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni;
2 ukuba kwamukwe abayanga amalungelo abo lokugodla okufaneleyo kwabantu bami abancindezelweyo; bazingela abafelokazi baqhwage izintandane.
Ke fakaafe ʻae masiva mei he fakamaau, pea faʻao ʻae totonu mei he masiva ʻo hoku kakai, ke nau kākaaʻi ʻae kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, pea ke nau kaihaʻa mei he tamai mate!
3 Lizakwenzani ngosuku lokuthonisiswa lapho incithakalo isiza ivela khatshana? Lizabalekela kubani ukuba lithole usizo na? Lizayitshiya ngaphi inotho yenu?
Pea ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi, pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaia ʻe haʻu mei he mamaʻo? Te mou kumi ʻae tokoni meia hai? Pea te mou tuku ʻi fē ʻa homou nāunau?
4 Akukho okuzasala, kodwa ukuba baquthe phakathi kwabathunjiweyo loba bafe lababuleweyo. Ikanti kukho konke lokhu, ukuthukuthela kwakhe akupheli, isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
‌ʻI he taʻemaʻu au te nau hoko ko e pōpula ki he pōpula, pea moʻulaloa kiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻulaloa. Pea neongo ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai taʻofi hono houhau, ka ʻoku kei mafao hono nima.
5 “Maye kumʼAsiriya, intonga yentukuthelo yami, esandleni sayo kulesagila solaka lwami!
ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻo ʻAsilia, ko e meʻa tā ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki, pea ko e tokotoko ʻi honau nima ko hoku houhau ia.
6 Ngimthumela ukuyamelana lesizwe esingelankulunkulu, ngimthumela ukuyamelana labantu abangithukuthelisayo, ukuba athumbe ahluthune impahla yokuthunjwa, lokubanyathelela phansi njengodaka ezindleleni.
Te u fekau ia ki he puleʻanga mālualoi, pea ki he kakai ʻoku ou houhau ki ai te u tuku kiate ia ha fekau, ke ʻave ʻae koloa, pea ʻave mo e meʻakai, pea ke molomoloki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.
7 Kodwa lokhu akusikho akujongileyo, lokhu akusikho okusengqondweni yakhe; injongo yakhe yikutshabalalisa, abhubhise izizwe ezinengi.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko hono loto ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo pehē ʻa hono loto; ka ʻoku ʻi hono loto ke tuʻusi mo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.
8 Uthi, ‘Izinduna zami zebutho kazisimakhosi zonke na?
He ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko e ngaahi tuʻi moʻoni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate au?
9 IKhalino kaliphumelelanga njengeKharikhemishi na? IHamathi kalinjenge-Ariphadi na? LeSamariya kayinjengeDamaseko na?
‌ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Kalino mo Kalikimisi? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Hamate mo ʻApati? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Samēlia mo Tamasikusi?
10 Lanjengoba isandla sami sabamba imibuso yezithombe, imibuso ezifanekiso zayo zedlula ezeJerusalema lezeSamariya,
‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻilo ʻa hoku nima ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe kau tamapua, ʻaia naʻe lahi hake ki Selūsalema mo Samēlia ʻenau ngaahi tamapua;
11 angiyikuliphatha iJerusalema lezithombe zalo ngendlela engaphatha ngayo iSamariya lezithombe zayo na?’”
‌ʻO hangē ko ia kuo u fai ki Samēlia mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua, ʻikai te u fai pehē foki ki Selūsalema mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua?”
12 Lapho uThixo esewuqedile wonke umsebenzi wakhe mayelana lentaba iZiyoni leJerusalema uzakuthi, “Ngizayijezisa inkosi yase-Asiriya ngenxa yokuzigqaja kwayo lokuzazisa okubonakala emehlweni ayo.”
Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻOka fakakakato ʻe he ʻEiki ʻa ʻene ngāue kotoa ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione pea mo Selūsalema, te u tautea ʻae futa ʻoe loto mālohi ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mo e hihiki ʻo hono mata fielahi.”
13 Ngoba uthi: “‘Ngamandla esandla sami langokuhlakanipha kwami sengenze lokhu ngoba ngilokuqedisisa. Ngayisusa imingcele yezizwe, ngathumba inotho yazo; njengolamandla nganqoba amakhosi azo.
He ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻI he mālohi ʻo hoku nima kuo u fai eni, pea ʻi heʻeku poto; he ʻoku ou fai fakapotopoto: pea kuo u toʻo ʻae ngaahi fakangatangata ʻoe kakai, pea kaihaʻasia mo ʻenau koloa, pea kuo u fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kakai ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku taau mo e tangata toʻa:
14 Njengomuntu efinyelela isidleke senyoni, ngokunjalo isandla sami safinyelela enothweni yezizwe, njengabantu bebutha amaqanda atshiyiweyo, kanjalo ngaqoqa amazwe wonke; akukho okwaphaphazelisa amaphiko loba okwavula umlomo wakho kwatshiyoza.’”
Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe hoku nima ʻae koloa ʻae kakai ʻo hangē ko ha pununga: pea hangē ko ha taha ʻoku tānaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi manu ʻoku pehē ʻa ʻeku tānaki ʻa māmani kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ueʻi ʻae kapakau, pe fakamanga ʻae ngutu, pe fakaʻasi.”
15 Konje ihloka liyaziphakamisela ngaphezu kwalowo olizulisayo na, loba isaha izincome imelane lalowo oyisebenzisayo na? Njengangathi induku izanyikinya lowo oyiphakamisayo, kumbe isagila sinyikinye lowo ongasiso sigodo!
‌ʻE fielahi ʻae toki kiate ia ʻoku ne tā ʻaki ia? Pe fielahi ʻae kili kiate ia ʻoku ne fetohoaki ia? ʻO hangē ka tā mai ʻae ʻakau kiate ia ʻoku ne toʻo ia, pea hangē ka hiki hake ʻe he tokotoko kiate ia ʻoku ne toʻo ia.
16 Ngakho-ke, iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uzathumela isifo esicikizayo emabuthweni ayo aqinileyo; ngaphansi kobukhosi bayo kuzaphembeka umlilo njengelangabi elibhebhayo.
Ko ia ʻe fekau atu ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae tutue ki honau kakai sino; pea te ne tutu ke vela ʻa hono nāunau ʻo hangē ko e kakaha ʻae afi.
17 Ukukhanya kuka-Israyeli kuzakuba ngumlilo, oNgcwele wabo abe lilangabi, ngosuku olulodwa lizatshisa liqede ameva akhe lokhula lwakhe.
Pea ko e maama ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe hoko ia ko e afi, pea ko hono tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ko e ulo afi, pea ʻe kakaha ia pea fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻaho pe taha hono ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa;
18 Ubuhle bamahlathi akhe lamasimu akhe avundileyo, uzakuqeda ngokupheleleyo njengalapho umuntu ogulayo ecikizeka.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae lelei ʻoe vao lahi ʻo ia, pea mo ʻene ngoue ʻoku fua, ʻae laumālie mo e sino fakatouʻosi; pea te nau hangē ko e tangata toʻo fuka kuo pongia.
19 Izihlahla zamahlathi ezisalayo zizakuba zilutshwana, okungathi lomntwana azibale.
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ʻakau ʻoe vao lahi ko ia te nau tokosiʻi, ko ia ʻe faʻa tohi ia ʻe ha tamasiʻi.
20 Ngalolosuku insalela yako-Israyeli, abendlu kaJakhobe abasindayo, kabasayikwethemba kuye owabatshayayo wababhubhisa kodwa ngeqiniso bazathembela kuThixo, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo pehē, ko hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo kinautolu kuo hao ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe falala kiate ia naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu; ka e falala moʻoni kia Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
21 Insalela izabuyela, insalela kaJakhobe izabuyela kuSomandla uNkulunkulu.
‌ʻE foki mai hono toe, ʻio, ʻae toe ʻo Sēkope, ki he ʻOtua Māfimafi.
22 Loba abantu bakho, we Israyeli, benjengetshebetshebe olwandle, kuzabuya insalela kuphela. Incithakalo isimenyezelwe, iyabakhulela kodwa ilungile.
He neongo ʻae tatau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻE ʻIsileli, mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ka e foki mai pe hono toe: kuo pau ke hoko ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe fonu mahua ʻi he fai totonu.
23 INkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uzasifeza isimemezelo sokubhujiswa elizweni lonke.
He ko Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau te ne fai ʻae fakaʻauha kuo kotofa, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua kotoa pē.
24 Ngakho-ke lokho yikho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla akutshoyo: “Awu bantu bami abahlala eZiyoni, lingawesabi ama-Asiriya alitshaya ngentonga njalo lawo aliphakamisela isagila njengokwenziwa yiGibhithe.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE hoku kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Saione, ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki he tangata ʻAsilia: te ne taaʻi koe ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā, pea hiki hake hono tokotoko kiate koe, ka ʻe hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi ʻIsipite.
25 Masinyane ukulithukuthelela kwami kuzaphela, ulaka lwami luzaqondiswa ekubhujisweni kwabo.”
Koeʻuhi ʻe toetoe siʻi pea ʻe ngata ʻa hoku tuputāmaki, pea mo hoku houhau, ka te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.
26 UThixo uSomandla uzabatshaya ngomchilo njengalapho atshaya iMidiyani edwaleni lase-Orebi, njalo uzaphakamisela intonga yakhe ngaphezu kwamanzi njengalokhu akwenza eGibhithe.
Pea ʻe hiki hake ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻae meʻa tautea ʻo hangē ko e fakaʻauha ʻa Mitiane ʻi he maka ko Olepi: pea tatau mo ʻene tokotoko naʻe ai ki he tahi, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻene hiki hake ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ki ʻIsipite.
27 Ngalolosuku imithwalo yabo izasuswa emahlombe enu, lejogwe labo entanyeni zenu; ijogwe lizakwephulwa ngoba selizimukile.
Pea ʻe hoko pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe toʻo ʻene kavenga mei ho uma, mo ʻene haʻamonga mei ho kia, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga mei homou uma.”
28 Bayangena e-Ayathi; badabula phakathi kweMigironi; bagcina impahla eMikhimashi.
Kuo haʻu ia ki ʻAiata, kuo ʻalu atu ia ki Mikiloni; kuo ne tānaki ʻene ngaahi saliote ʻi Mikimasi:
29 Badlula emkhandlwini bathi, “Ebusuku sizalala eGebha.” IRama liyathuthumela; iGibhiya likaSawuli liyabaleka.
Kuo nau laka ʻi he potu fāsiʻi: kuo nau nofo ʻi Kepa; ʻoku manavahē ʻa Lama; pea kuo hola ʻa Kipea ʻo Saula.
30 Hlaba umkhosi, We! Ndodakazi kaGalimi, lalela we Layisha! Anathothi ozihawulelayo!
‌ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Kalimi, hiki hake ho leʻo: fai ke ongo atu ia ki Leisi, ʻE ʻAnatoti masiva.
31 IMadimena iyabaleka; abantu baseGebhimu bazacatsha.
Kuo ʻave ʻa Matemena; ʻoku fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻe Kepime ke nau hola.
32 Ngalolosuku bazakuma kancane, kancane eNobhi, bazakhomba ngezinqindi zabo intaba yeNdodakazi yeZiyoni, eqaqeni lwaseJerusalema.
Te ne nofo pe ia ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻi Nope: te ne lulululu hono nima ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻae moʻunga ʻo Selūsalema.
33 Khangelani, iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uzaquma ingatsha ngamandla amakhulu. Izihlahla ezidephileyo zizaqunywa. Ezinde zazo zizakwehliselwa phansi.
Vakai, ko e ʻEiki, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, te ne tuʻusi ʻae vaʻa ʻaki ʻae manavahē lahi: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku māʻolunga ʻe tā hifo, pea ko e fielahi ʻe fakavaivaiʻi.
34 Ngehloka uzagamula izixuku zehlathi; iLebhanoni izakuwa phambi kwakhe olaMandla.
Pea te ne tuʻusi ki lalo ʻae ngaahi potu ʻakau matolu ʻoe vao lahi ʻaki ʻae ukamea, pea ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa Lepanoni ʻi ha taha mālohi.
