< U-Isaya 14 >

1 UThixo uzakuba lesihawu kuJakhobe; uzamkhetha njalo u-Israyeli, abahlalise elizweni labo. Abezizwe bazahlangana labo bamanyane lendlu kaJakhobe.
Yehowa akpɔ nublanui na Yakob, aʋu ʋɔ atia Israel, eye wòatsɔ wo aɖo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi. Dukɔ bubu me tɔwo akpe ɖe wo ŋuti, eye woawɔ ɖeka kple Yakob ƒe aƒe la.
2 Izizwe zizabathatha zibase endaweni yabo. Indlu ka-Israyeli izathumba izizwe zibe yizisebenzi zesilisa lezesifazane elizweni likaThixo. Bazakwenza abathumbi babo babe yizigqili, babuse abancindezeli babo.
Dukɔwo akplɔ wo va woawo ŋutɔ nɔƒee. Dukɔwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo le Yehowa ƒe aƒe la dzi. Ale woalé ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo la, eye woaɖu gã ɖe ame siwo te wo ɖe to la dzi.
3 Ngosuku uThixo azaliphumuza ngalo ekuhluphekeni, ekutshikatshikeni, lasebugqilini obulesihluku,
Gbe si gbe Yehowa ana mi gbɔdzɔe tso miaƒe fukpekpewo, hiãkamewo kple dɔ sesẽ siwo miewɔ le aboyo me la,
4 lizakutsho la amazwi okukloloda enkosini yaseBhabhiloni lithi: Umncindezeli usefikile ekucineni, ukuthukuthela kwakhe sekuphelile!
ado hamelo sia na Babilonia fia be, Ale funyafunyawɔame la wu nue nye esi! Ale eƒe ŋutasesẽ hã wu nue nye esi!
5 UThixo useyephule intonga yababi, induku yobukhosi eyababusi,
Yehowa ŋe ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe ameƒoti, eye wòŋe fiawo ƒe tsiamiti
6 abatshaya abantu ngokuthukuthela, langokugalela okungapheliyo, banqoba izizwe ngentukuthelo langokuncindezela okungapheliyo.
siwo wotsɔ ƒo dukɔwo atraɖii, eye le woƒe dɔmedzoe me, wobɔbɔ dukɔwo ɖe anyi heti wo yome kutɔkutɔe.
7 Amazwe wonke alokuphumula lokuthula; aphahluka ahlabelele izingoma.
Anyigbawo katã gbɔ ɖe eme le ŋutifafa me, eye wode asi hadzidzi kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ me.
8 Lezihlahla zamaphayini lemisedari yaseLebhanoni ziyathokoza ngawe zithi, “Njengoba khathesi usuwiselwe phansi akula ozakuzasigamula.”
Logotiwo kple Lebanon ƒe sedatiwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm ɖe ŋu wò, eye wogblɔ be, “Azɔ esi wolã wo ƒu anyi la, atidzela aɖeke magava lã mi aƒu anyi o.”
9 Ithuna ngaphansi liyanyakaza ukuba likuhlangabeze ekufikeni kwakho. Livusa imimoya yabafayo ukuba ikubingelele, bonke labo ababengababusi emhlabeni; libenza basukume ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi, bonke labo ababengamakhosi ezizwe. (Sheol h7585)
Tsĩeƒe le dzadzraɖo wɔm be woado go wò ne èva. Ènyɔ ame kukuwo ƒe gbɔgbɔwo be woado go wò, ame siwo nye dziɖulawo le xexe sia me kpɔ. Èna ame siwo ɖu fia ɖe xexemedukɔwo dzi kpɔla tso le woƒe fiazikpuiwo dzi. (Sheol h7585)
10 Bazaphendula bonke, bazakuthi kuwe, “Lawe usubuthakathaka njengathi, usube njengathi.”
Wo katã woaɖo eŋu na wò kple gbe ɖeka be, “Wò hã èzu ame beli abe míawo ke ene; èle abe mia dometɔ ɖeka ene azɔ.”
11 Bonke ubukhosi bakho sebehliselwe phansi ethuneni, kanye lomsindo wamachacho akho. Impethu zendlaliwe ngaphansi kwakho, inhlavane zikwembesile. (Sheol h7585)
Wotsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ɖoɖo katã ɖi ɖe yɔ me kpe ɖe wò kasaŋkuwo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋuti. Nyẽwo le dodom le tewò, eye ŋɔviwo le tatam le dziwò. (Sheol h7585)
12 Yeka ukuwa kwakho uvela ezulwini, wena nkanyezi yekuseni, ndodana yokusa! Uphoselwe phansi emhlabeni, wena owake wehlisela izizwe phansi!
Aleke nèhege tso dziƒoe, o ŋukeɣletivi! Wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba dzi; wò ame si te dukɔwo ɖe anyi kpɔ!
13 Wathi enhliziyweni yakho, “Ngizakwenyukela ezulwini, ngizaphakamisela isihlalo sami sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngizahlala ebukhosini phezu kwentaba yombuthano, ezingqongweni zentaba engcwele.
Ègblɔ le wò dzi me be, “Malia nu ayi ɖe dziƒo. Mali nye fiazikpui ɖe Mawu ƒe ɣletiviwo tame. Manɔ nye fiazikpui dzi le takpekpeto la dzi, le to kɔkɔe la tame ʋĩi ke.
14 Ngizakwenyukela phezu kwezindawo eziphakemeyo emayezini; ngizazenza ngibe njengoPhezukonke.”
Malia ayi ɖe lilikpowo tame ke, eye mawɔ ɖokuinye be masɔ ta kple Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.”
15 Kodwa ulethwe phansi ethuneni, ekuzikeni kwegodi. (Sheol h7585)
Ke wohe wò ƒu gbe ɖe yɔ me, ɖe tsiẽƒe ƒe gogloƒe ke. (Sheol h7585)
16 Labo abakubonayo bakudonsela amehlo, bayacabanga ngowakudalelwayo bathi: “Nguye lo na umuntu owanyikinya umhlaba wenza imibuso yaqhaqhazela,
Ame siwo kpɔ wò la, woafɔ ŋku ɖe dziwò, eye woabu nu si dzɔ ɖe dziwò la ŋuti ahabia be, “Ɖe menye ame siae nye ame si ʋuʋu anyigba la, eye wòna fiaɖuƒewo dzo nyanyanya,
17 umuntu owenza umhlaba waba lugwadule, owadiliza amadolobho awo, kazavumela abathunjwayo bakhe ukubuyela ekhaya na?”
ame si na xexea me zu gbegbe, ame si gbã du gãwo, eye wòɖe aboyo emenɔlawo oa?”
18 Wonke amakhosi ezizwe alele ebukhosini, enye lenye ethuneni layo.
Dukɔwo katã ƒe fiawo mlɔ anyi ɖe woƒe yɔdowo me le bubu me.
19 Kodwa wena uphoselwe ngaphandle kwethuna lakho njengogatsha olulahliweyo; welekwe ngababulawayo, lalabo abagwazwa ngenkemba, labo abehlela ematsheni egodi. Njengesidumbu esinyathelwe ngezinyawo,
Ke wo ya la, wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe wò yɔdo me abe atilɔ si gbɔ wogbe nu le la ene. Wolɔ ame siwo wowu kple ame siwo tsi yi nu la li kɔe ɖe dziwò, ame siwo woɖi ɖe agakpetowo ƒe gogloƒe ke, eye wole abe ŋutilã kuku siwo wofanya kple afɔ la ene.
20 kawuyikuhlangana labo ekungcwatshweni; ngoba usulichithile ilizwe lakho wabulala labantu bakini. Inzalo yababi kakungakhulunywa ngayo futhi.
Womaɖi wò abe woawo ene o, elabena ègblẽ wò anyigba, eye nèwu wò amewo. Womagayɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋkɔ azɔ o.
21 Lungisa indawo yokubulalela abantwabakhe ngenxa yezono zabokhokho babo. Kabamelanga bavuke ukuba bathathe ilizwe bagcwalise umhlaba ngamadolobho abo.
Dzra teƒe ɖo ne nàwu ŋutsuwo le afi ma, ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Womatsi tsitre be woanyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye woatso du gãwo, wòaxɔ anyigba la dzi o.
22 “Ngizabavukela,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Ngizakwesula iBhabhiloni labasindayo abantwabakhe lezizukulwane,” kutsho uThixo.
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Matso ɖe wo ŋuti. Maɖe Babilonia ƒe ŋkɔ, ame siwo tsi agbe, viawo kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa” Yehowae gblɔe.
23 “Ngizalenza libe yindawo yezikhova lelizwe elilixhaphozi. Ngizalithanyela ngomthanyelo wencithakalo,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
“Mana wòazu hlɔ̃madɛwo nɔƒe, eye matsɔ gbegblẽ ƒe xa akplɔ woe.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
24 UThixo uSomandla ufungile wathi, “Ngeqiniso, njengoba sengilungisile, kuzakuba njalo, njalo njengoba ngikumisile kuzakuma kanjalo.
Nyagblɔɖi la ɖi Asiria ŋu. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ka atam be, “Le nyateƒe me, ale si meɖoe la, nenemae wòanɔ, eye ale si meɖo ɖe ta me la, nenema wòava emee.
25 Ngizamchoboza umʼAsiriya elizweni lami; ezintabeni zami ngizamnyathelela phansi. Ijogwe lakhe lizasuswa ebantwini bami, umthwalo wakhe ususwe emahlombe abo.”
Magbã Asiriatɔwo le nye anyigba dzi, eye mafanya wo le nye towo tame. Maɖe kɔkuti ɖa le nye amewo ƒe kɔ, eye maɖe eƒe agba kpekpe ɖa le woƒe abɔta.”
26 Lokhu yikho okumiselwe umhlaba wonke, lesi yisandla eselulelwe phezu kwezizwe zonke.
Esia nye ɖoɖo si mewɔ ɖe xexea me katã ŋu, nye asi si mekɔ ɖe dukɔwo katã dzi,
27 Ngoba uThixo uSomandla usenze isimiso, ngubani ongamvimbela na? Isandla sakhe siphakanyisiwe, ngubani ongasibuyisela emuva na?
elabena esiae Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo katã ƒe Aƒetɔ la ɖo. Ame kae ate ŋu agblẽ eme? Ekɔ eƒe asiwo dzi, ame kae ate ŋu aɖiɖii?
28 Ilizwi leli lafika nyakana kusifa inkosi u-Ahazi:
Mexɔ nyagblɔɖi sia le ƒe si me fia Ahaz ku.
29 Lingathokozi, lonke lina maFilistiya, lisithi intonga eyalitshayayo yephukile; ngoba empandeni yenyoka leyana kuzavela inhlangwana, inzalo yayo izakuba yinyoka elobuthi obutshokayo.
Mi Filistitɔwo, migakpɔ dzidzɔ be ameƒoti si wotsɔ ƒo mi la ŋe o, elabena da vɔ̃ɖi ado tso da ma ke me, eye eƒe metsonu nye da vɔ̃ɖi si noa aɖi, eƒe kutsetse anye da to aʋala si yɔ fũu kple aɖi.
30 Abangabayanga kubayanga bazathola amadlelo, abaswelayo bazalala phansi bevikelekile. Kodwa impande yakho ngizayitshabalalisa ngendlala; izabulala abaseleyo bakho.
Ame dahewo ƒe ame dahe akpɔ nyuiƒe, eye hiãtɔwo atsyɔ akɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me. Ke matsɔ dɔtoto atsrɔ̃ wò ame siwo tsi agbe la.
31 Lila wena sango! Bubula wena dolobho! Chithekani lonke lina maFilistiya! Iyezi lentuthu livela enyakatho; njalo akulamatshida eviyweni lalo.
Fa avi, o agbo! Do ɣli, o du! Mi Filistitɔwo katã milolõ. Dzudzɔ babla tso anyiehe, eye ame beli aɖeke mele woƒe aʋakɔwo dome o.
32 Yimpendulo bani ezanikwa izithunywa zalesosizwe na? “UThixo useyakhile iZiyoni, abantu bakhe abahluphekileyo bazaphephela kuye.”
Ŋuɖoɖo kae woana dukɔ ma ƒe ame dɔdɔawo? “Yehowa gaɖo Zion te, eye le afi ma hiãtɔ akpɔ sitsoƒe.”
