U-Isaya 29
1 Maye kuwe Ariyeli, Ariyeli, idolobho uDavida ahlala kulo! Yengezelela umnyaka emnyakeni Wenze ukulandelana kwemikhosi yakho kuqhubeke.
Ko e malaʻia ki ʻAliela, ki ʻAliela, ʻae kolo naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita! Fakalahi ʻae tau ki he tau; tuku ke nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau.
2 Ikanti i-Ariyeli ngizalivimbezela, lizakhala lilile, kimi lizafana leziko le-alithari.
Ka te u fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻAliela, pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongosia mo e mamahi: pea ʻe pehē ia kiate au ʻo hangē ko e potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
3 Ngizakuhlasela amacele wonke, ngizakuzungeza ngemiphotshongo ngikuvimbezele ngemisebenzi yokukuhlasela.
Pea te u takatakai koe pea kāpui koe ʻaki ʻae moʻunga, pea te u langa ʻae ngaahi kolo kiate koe.
4 Nxa usudilizelwe phansi, uzakhuluma uphansi, inkulumo yakho ayiyikuzwakala ivela othulini. Ilizwi lakho lizafana lelethonga liphuma phansi emhlabathini. Ilizwi lakho lizanyenyeza liphuma othulini.
Pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi koe, pea te ke lea mei he kelekele, pea ʻe māʻulalo ho leʻo mei he efu, pea ʻe tatau ho leʻo mo ha taha ʻoku ʻiate ia ha laumālie kovi, mei he kelekele, pea ʻe fafana ho leʻo mei he efu.
5 Kodwa izitha zakho ezinengi, zizakuba njengothuli olucolekileyo, amaxuku alesihluku afane lamakhoba aphephukayo. Masinyazana, ngesikhatshana nje,
Pea ko e tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau muli te nau hangē ko e efuefu momo iiki, pea mo e tokolahi ʻoe kakai fakamanavahē te nau hangē ko e kafukafu ʻoku mole atu: ʻio, ʻe hoko fakafokifā ia ʻi he kemo pe taha.
6 UThixo uSomandla uzafika ngomdumo langokunyikinyeka komhlaba langomsindo omkhulu; ngesiphepho langesivunguzane langamalangabi omlilo oqothulayo.
ʻE ʻaʻahi kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻaki ʻae mana, pea mo e mofuike, mo e longoaʻa lahi, ʻaki ʻae matangi lahi mo e afā, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha.
7 Lapho-ke amaxuku ezizwe zonke ezilwa le-Ariyeli, ayihlaselayo kanye lezinqaba zayo, njalo eyizungezile, azakuba njengephupho, lilombono webusuku,
Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku tauʻi ʻa ʻAliela, ʻio, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tauʻi ia mo ʻene kolo, pea ʻoku fakamamahiʻi ia, te nau hangē ko ha misi, pe ko e meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō.
8 njengomuntu olambileyo ephupha esidla, kodwa aphaphame ukulamba kwakhe kulokhu kunjalo, lanjengalapho umuntu owomileyo ephupha enatha kodwa aphaphame engelamandla, ukoma kwakhe kungaphelanga. Kuzakuba njalo lakumaxuku ezizwe zonke ezilwa leNtaba iZiyoni.
ʻO hangē ko e misi ʻae tangata fiekaia, pea vakai, ʻoku hangē ʻoku ne kai; pea ʻoka ʻā ia, ʻoku ngaongao hono laumālie: pe hangē ko e misi ʻa ha tangata fieinu, pea vakai, hangē ʻoku inu ia; ka ʻoku ne ʻaa, pea vakai, ʻoku vaivai ia, pea ʻoku ne holi: ʻe pehē pe ʻae tokolahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻoku tauʻi ʻae moʻunga ko Saione.
9 Thithibalani limangale, zenzeni iziphofu lingabe lisabona; dakwani kodwa kungabi ngenxa yotshwala.
Mou tatali, pea ofo; mou kalanga, pea tangi: ʻoku nau konā, kae ʻikai ʻi he uaine; ʻoku nau tasipa, kae ʻikai ʻi he inu mālohi.
10 UThixo ulehlisele ubuthongo obukhulu: uwavalile amehlo enu (abaphrofethi); wagubuzela amakhanda enu (izanuse).
He kuo lilingi ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe mohe maʻu, pea kuo tāpuni homou mata: kuo ne fakapulou ʻae kau palōfita mo hoʻomou kau pule mo e kau kikite.
11 Kini umbono wonke lo kawusilutho kodwa amazwi nje avalelwe encwadini egoqiweyo. Njalo nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu okwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Anganelisi, ngoba ivaliwe.”
Pea ko e meʻa hā mai kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi lea ʻo ha tohi kuo tāpuni, ʻoku ʻange ʻe ha tangata ki ha tokotaha ʻoku poto, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lau ʻae meʻa ni,” pea ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa fai ia he kuo maʻu ia;”
12 Loba nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu ongakwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Angikwazi ukubala.”
Pea ʻoku ʻatu ʻae tohi kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai poto, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lau ʻae meʻa ni: pea ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u poto.”
13 UThixo uthi: “Abantu laba basondela kimi ngemilomo yabo bangikhonze ngezindebe zabo, kodwa inhliziyo zabo zikude lami; ukungikhonza kwabo kwenziwa kuphela nje ngemilayo abayifundiswa ngabantu.
Ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau ngutu, pea fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu, ka kuo mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au, pea ko ʻenau manavahē kiate au ʻoku tupu ia mei he ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata pe:
14 Ngakho-ke abantu laba ngizaphinda ngibethuse ngesimanga phezu kwesimanga; inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo izaphela, ulwazi lwezazi lunyamalale.”
Ko ia, vakai, te u fai leva ha ngāue fakaofo ki he kakai ni, ʻio, ʻae ngāue fakaofo mo lahi: he ko e poto ʻo ʻenau kau tangata poto ʻe ʻauha ia, pea ko e ʻilo ʻo ʻenau kau tangata fakamākukanga ʻe fufū ia.
15 Maye kulabo abatshona phansi ukuba bafihlele uThixo amacebo abo, abenzela imisebenzi yabo emnyameni bacabange bathi, “Ngubani osibonayo? Ngubani ozakwazi?”
ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻahiʻahi lahi ke fufūnaki honau loto meia Sihova, pea ʻoku fai ʻi he poʻuli ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea ʻoku nau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku mamata kiate kitautolu? Pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakitautolu?”
16 Lina lihlanekela izinto kube sengathi kucatshangwa ukuthi umbumbi unjengebumba. Okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini kokubumbileyo kuthi, “Kangibumbanga”? Imbiza ingatsho na kumbumbi ithi, “Kazi lutho”?
Ko e moʻoni ko hoʻomou fulifulihi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe tatau mo e ʻumea ʻoe tangata ngaohi ipu: he ʻe lea pehē koā ʻae meʻa kuo ngaohi kiate ia naʻa ne fakatufungaʻi, naʻe ʻikai te ne ngaohi au? Pe, ʻe pehē ʻae meʻa kuo ngaohi kiate ia naʻe ngaohi ia, naʻe ʻikai haʻane ʻilo?
17 Ngesikhatshana esifitshane nje, iLebhanoni kayiyikuphendulwa ibe yinsimu evundileyo, kuthi insimu evundileyo ifane legusu na?
ʻIkai ʻoku toetoe siʻi pea ʻe liliu ʻa Lepanoni ke hoko ko e ngoue fua moʻui, pea ko e ngoue fua ʻe tatau ia mo e vao ʻakau?
18 Ngalolosuku izacuthe zizawezwa amazwi omqulu, njalo ekukhanyeni lebumnyameni amehlo eziphofu abone emnyameni omkhulu.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe fanongo ʻae tuli ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe tohi, pea ʻe mamata ʻae mata ʻoe kui mei he kakapu, pea mei he poʻuli.
19 Abathobekileyo bazathokoza futhi kuThixo, abaswelayo bazathokoza koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Pea ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae fiefia ʻae angavaivai ʻia Sihova, pea ko e masiva ʻi he kakai te nau fiefia ʻi he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
20 Abalesihluku bazanyamalala, abahleka usulu abayikuba khona, bonke abathanda ukwenza okubi bazabhujiswa,
He kuo mole ʻae tokotaha naʻe fakamālohi, pea kuo ʻauha mo e tangata manuki, pea kuo tuʻusi ke motu ʻakinautolu ʻoku lama ke fai kovi.
21 labo abenza umuntu abe lecala ngokufakaza amanga, abathiya umvikeli enkundleni yamacala, kuthi ngobufakazi obungamanga benze omsulwa angehlulelwa ngemfanelo.
ʻOku nau fakahalaia ha tangata ʻi he kupuʻi lea, pea ʻoku nau tau ʻae tauhele kiate ia ʻoku valoki ʻi he matapā, pea fakaafe ʻae angatonu ʻi he meʻa taʻeʻaonga.
22 Ngakho-ke lokhu yikho uThixo owahlenga u-Abhrahama akutshoyo kwabendlu kaJakhobe: “UJakhobe kasayikuba lenhloni, ubuso bakhe kabusayikudana.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ki he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻe ʻikai mā ʻa Sēkope, pea ʻe ʻikai liliu ʻo tea hono mata.
23 Lapho bebona abantwana babo, umsebenzi wezandla zami, bazakwenza ibizo lami libengcwele; bazabubona ubungcwele boNgcwele kaJakhobe, njalo bazamesaba uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ki heʻene fānau, ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia, te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku huafa, pea fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sēkope, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 Abalahlekileyo emoyeni bazakuba lokuzwisisa; abasolayo bazavuma ukufundiswa.”
Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe hala ʻi he laumālie te nau hoko ʻo ʻilo, pea ko kinautolu naʻe lāunga te nau maʻu ʻae akonaki.
