< U-Isaya 28 >

1 Maye kulowomqhele wamaluba, iqhono lezidakwa zako-Efrayimi, kuluba elibunayo, ubuhle obukhazimulayo, obubekwe ngaphezulu kwesigodi esivundileyo, kulelodolobho, iqhono lalabo asebelaliswe liwayini phansi!
Malaʻia ki he tatā ʻoe laukau, ki he kau konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae ʻa ʻenau toulekeleka ongoongolelei! Kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui ʻonautolu ʻoku konā ʻi he uaine!
2 Khangelani, uThixo ulaye olamandla oqinileyo. Njengesiqhotho lomoya odilizayo, njengezulu lesiphepho lesihlambi esilamandla, uzakuphosa phansi ngamandla amakhulu.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ʻEiki ha tokotaha māfimafi mo mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e taufa ʻuha maka, ʻo hangē ko e afā fulikele, ʻo hangē ko e tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi vai lahi ʻoku tafe mālohi, te ne tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻaki hono nima.
3 Umqhele lowo wamaluba, iqhono lezidakwa zako-Efrayimi kuzanyathelwa ngaphansi kwezinyawo.
Ko e tatā ʻoe laukau, ʻae kakai konā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻe molomoloki ʻi he lalo vaʻe:
4 Leliyaluba elibunayo, ubuhle bakhe obukhazimulayo, kuhlanyelwe ngaphezu kwesigodi esivundileyo, lizakuba njengomkhiwa ovuthiweyo kungakavunwa okuthi khonokho nje omunye ewubona awukhe ngesandla awuginye.
Pea ko e toulekeleka ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe vanu kelekele moʻui, ʻe hoko ia ko e fisiʻiʻakau mae, pea hangē ko e fua tupu vave ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana: ʻaia ʻoku toli leva ʻe ia ʻoku mamata ki ai, pea ʻi heʻene ʻi hono nima ʻoku ne kai leva ia ʻo ʻosi.
5 Ngalolosuku uThixo uSomandla uzakuba ngumqhele okhazimulayo, umqhele wamaluba omuhle kulabo abayizinsalela zabantu bakhe.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko e tatā ongoongolelei, pea ko e pale fakasanisani, ki hono toe ʻo hono kakai,
6 Uzakuba ngumoya wokulunga kulowo owahlulelayo, umthombo wamandla kulabo ababuyisela impi emuva isisesangweni.
Pea ko e laumālie ʻoe fakamaau kiate ia ʻoku nofo ke fakamaau, pea ko e mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakafoki ʻae tau ki he matapā.
7 Lalaba bayadiyazela ngenxa yewayini, babhadazele ngenxa yotshwala. Abaphristi labaphrofethi bayadiyazela ngenxa yotshwala, njalo baphambene ngenxa yewayini; bayabhadazela ngenxa yotshwala, bayadiyazela, lapho bebona imibono, bayakhininda lapho besenza izinqumo.
Ka kuo nau hē ʻi he uaine, pea koeʻuhi ko e inu mālohi kuo nau hē mei he hala; kuo hē ʻae taulaʻeiki pea mo e palōfita ʻi he inu mālohi, ʻoku nau moʻua ki he uaine, kuo nau hē mei he hala ko e meʻa ʻi he inu mālohi; ʻoku ninimo honau mata, ʻoku nau humu ʻi he fakamaau.
8 Amatafula wonke agcwele amahlanzo njalo akulandawo engelamanyala.
He ʻoku fonu ʻae ngaahi keinangaʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he lua mo e fakalielia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ʻoku maʻa.
9 “Ngubani lowo ozama ukumfundisa? Umbiko wakhe uwuchazela bani na? Abantwana abangasamunyi, kumbe abalunyuliweyo na?
Te ne ako kia hai ʻae ʻilo? Pea ko hai te ne akonakiʻi ke ne ʻilo ʻa ʻene akonaki? Ko kinautolu kuo fakamavae mei he huʻahuhu, pea kuo toʻo mei he huhu.
10 Ngoba kumi kanje: Yenza lokhu, yenza lokhuya, umthetho walokhu, umthetho walokhuya; ingcosana lapha, lengconsana laphayana.”
He kuo ʻai ʻae fekau ki he fekau, ʻae fekau ki he fekau; ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ʻae ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni pea siʻi ʻi hena:
11 Kungasenani, ngezindebe zabezizweni langolimi olungaziwayo, uNkulunkulu uzakhuluma lalababantu,
He te ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ki he kakai ni ʻae loungutu fakaleʻoleʻovale pea mo e ʻelelo kehe.
12 atshoyo kubo wathi, “Le yindawo yokuphumula, abadiniweyo kabaphumule”; njalo, “Le yindawo yokucambalala,” kodwa kabalalelanga.
‌ʻAia naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko eni ʻae mālōlō te ke fakamālōlō ʻaki ʻae kakai ongosia; pea ko eni ʻae fakafiemālie; ka naʻa nau fakaongotuli.
13 Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo kubo lizakuba ngelithi: Yenza lokhu, yenza lokhuya, umthetho walokhu, umthetho walokhuya, ingcosana lapha, ingcosana laphaya, ukuze bahambe bawe nyovane, balimale, bathiywe, bathunjwe.
Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e fekau ki he fekau, ko e fekau ki he fekau; ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea, ko e ʻotu lea ki he ʻotu lea; ko e siʻi ʻi heni, pea siʻi ʻi hena; koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu ai, pea hinga fakaholomui, pea mafesifesi pea tauheleʻi, pea moʻua ai ʻakinautolu.
14 Ngakho-ke zwanini ilizwi likaThixo lina bantu abaklolodayo, ababusa abantu laba eJerusalema.
Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata paetaku ʻoku pule ʻae kakai ni ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema.
15 Lizitshaya izifuba lisithi, “Senze isivumelwano lokufa, senza isivumelwano lethuna. Nxa isijeziso esikhulu sifika, kasiyikusithinta, ngoba senze amanga aba yisiphephelo sethu lenkohliso yaba yindawo yethu yokucatsha.” (Sheol h7585)
Koeʻuhi kuo mou pehē, “Kuo mau fuakava mo e mate, pea kuo mau feʻofoʻofani mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe ʻikai aʻu mai ia kiate kimautolu: he kuo mau hūfanga ʻaki ʻae loi, pea kuo mau fufū ʻakimautolu ʻi he kākā:” (Sheol h7585)
16 Ngakho lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo woBukhosi: “Khangelani, ngibeka ilitshe eZiyoni, ilitshe elihloliweyo, ilitshe lengosi eliligugu; elesisekelo esiqinisekileyo, lowo othembayo akayikuphela amandla.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻai ʻi Saione ʻae maka tuʻunga; ʻae maka kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi, ko e fungani maka tuliki, ko e tuʻunga maʻu: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia ʻe ʻikai puputuʻu ia.
17 Ngizakwenza okufaneleyo kube yintambo yokulinganisa, ukulunga kube yintambo yokuqondisa; isiqhotho sizakhukhula isiphephelo senu, amanga, lamanzi azagabhela indawo yenu yokucatsha.
Te u ʻai foki ʻae fakamaau ki he afo fua, mo e māʻoniʻoni ki he meʻa fakatotonu: pea ko e ʻuha maka te ne tafi ke mole ʻae hūfanga ʻoe loi, pea ʻe lōmakiʻi ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻae toitoiʻanga.
18 Isivumelwano senu lokufa sizakwesulwa; isivumelwano senu lengcwaba kasiyikuma. Lapho isijeziso esikhulu sifika sizalilahla phansi. (Sheol h7585)
“Pea ʻe maumauʻi hoʻomou fuakava mo e mate, pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu homou loto taha mo heli; ʻoka hā mai ʻae tautea fakaʻauha, ʻe toki malaki hifo ai ʻakimoutolu. (Sheol h7585)
19 Ngazozonke izikhathi esizafika ngazo sizalithatha; ukusa ngokusa, emini lebusuku, sizalikhukhula.” Ukulizwisisa ilizwi leli kuzaletha ukwesaba khona ngokwakho.
Pea ʻi heʻene hā atu te mou moʻua ai; he te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he pongipongi mo e pongipongi, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: pea naʻa mo ʻene ʻuʻulu mai pe ʻe tupu ai ʻae ilifia.
20 Umbheda mfitshane kakhulu ukuba unabe kuwo, ingubo incane kakhulu ukuba ugoqelwe ngayo.
He ʻoku nounou ʻae mohenga ki he tokoto ʻi ai: pea ʻoku lausiʻi ʻae kafu ke ne fakakafu ʻaki ia.
21 UThixo uzavuka njengalokho akwenzayo entabeni iPherazimu; uzathukuthela njengaseSigodini seGibhiyoni, ukuba enze umsebenzi wakhe, umsebenzi oyisimanga, enze umsebenzi wakhe, umsebenzi ongaziwayo.
‌ʻE tuʻu hake ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi he moʻunga ko Pilasimi, te ne houhau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Kipione, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ʻene ngāue, ʻa ʻene ngāue fakaofo; ke ne fakahoko ʻa ʻene ngāue, ko ʻene ngāue foʻou.
22 Khathesi-ke yekelani ukukloloda kwenu funa amaketane elibotshwe ngawo alisinde kakhulu; iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla usengitshele ngesimiso sokutshabalalisa ilizwe lonke.
Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manuki, telia naʻa ngaohi homou haʻi ke mālohi: he kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻe fai ʻae fakaʻauha, ʻio, kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki māmani kotoa pē.
23 Lalelani lizwe ilizwi lami; lalelani lizwe engikutshoyo.
“Mou fakatokanga, pea fanongo ki hoku leʻo; fanongo, pea fakaongo ki heʻeku lea.
24 Lapho umlimi elima ukuba ahlanyele, ulima kokuphela na? Uqhubeka elima umhlabathi ewubhuqa kokuphela na?
He ʻoku fakahinohino ʻae huo toho ʻe he tangata kelingoue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tūtuuʻi? ʻOku ne langaʻi pea fakamolū ʻae ngaahi konga ʻoe kelekele?
25 Nxa umhlabathi esewendlale kuhle, kahlanyeli ikharawayi ahlanyele lekhumini na? Kahlanyeli ingqoloyi endaweni yayo; ibhali ensimini yayo, lespelithi ensimini yaso na?
‌ʻOka fakamolemole ʻae funga ʻo ia, ʻikai ʻoku ne tūtuuʻi mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi tili, pea tūtuuʻi ʻae kumino, pea ai mo e uite lelei, mo e paʻale kuo tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo e lae ʻi honau potu?
26 UNkulunkulu wakhe uyamfundisa, amfundise indlela eqondileyo.
He ʻoku ako ia ke poto ʻe hono ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne akonakiʻi ia.
27 Ikharawayi kayibhulwa ngesileyi; lenqola kayihanjiswa phezu kwekhumini, kodwa ikharawayi ibhulwa ngentonga, kuthi ikhumini ibhulwe ngombhulo.
He ʻoku ʻikai haha ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae meʻa haha, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakatakamilo ʻae saliote ki he kumino; ka ʻoku tā ke ngangana ʻae tili ʻaki ʻae ʻakau, pea mo e kumino ʻaki ʻae tokotoko.
28 Amabele kumele acholwe ukuba kwenziwe isinkwa, ngakho umuntu kawabhuli kokuphela. Lanxa ehambisa inqola yakhe yokubhula phezu kwawo, amabhiza akhe kawawacholi.
‌ʻOku fakavolu ʻae uite ki he mā koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne fie haha maʻuaipē ia, pe momosi ia ʻaki ʻae teka ʻo hono saliote, pe fakavolu ia ʻaki hono kau tangata heka hoosi.
29 Konke lokhu lakho kuvela kuThixo uSomandla omangalisayo ngokweluleka, njalo olenhlakanipho emangalisayo.
‌ʻOku haʻu foki eni meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻi he fakahinohino, pea lelei lahi ʻi he ngāue.”
