< U-Isaya 35 >
1 Inkangala lelizwe elomileyo kuzathokoza; inkangala izajabula iqhakaze. Njengeluba
ʻE fiefia ʻae toafa mo e potu lala koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea ʻe fiefia ʻae potu liʻaki, pea fisi ʻo hangē ko e lose.
2 izakhahlela, ithokoze kakhulu, ihlabele isithi. Inkazimulo yaseLebhanoni izanikezwa kuyo ubuhle beKhameli leSharoni, kuzabona inkazimulo kaThixo lobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu wethu.
ʻE fisi lahi ia, pea fiefia ʻi he fiefia mo e hiva: ʻe foaki ki ai ʻae nāunau ʻo Lepanoni, ko e lelei ʻo Kameli mo Saloni: te nau mamata ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova, mo e lelei lahi ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
3 Qinisani izandla ezibuthakathaka, liqinise lamadolo axegayo;
Mou tokoni ki he nima vaivai, pea poupou ʻae tui ʻoku fengataliʻaki.
4 tshonini kulabo abalezinhliziyo ezilokwesaba lithi: “Qinani, lingesabi; uNkulunkulu wenu uzakuza, uzakuza ezophindisela, ajezise ngokulunga uzakuza ukuba alikhulule.”
Ke ke pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto manavasiʻi, “Ke mou mālohi, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: vakai, ʻe hāʻele mai homou ʻOtua mo e tautea, ʻio, ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae totongi; te ne hāʻele mai ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.”
5 Lapho-ke amehlo eziphofu azavuleka, lezindlebe zezacuthe zivuleke.
Pea ʻe toki fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, pea ʻe fakaava mo e telinga ʻoe tuli.
6 Lapho-ke abaqhulayo bazakweqa njengempala, izimungulu zihlabele ngokuthokoza. Amanzi azampompoza ogwaduleni, izifula zigeleze enkangala.
Pea ʻe toki hopohopo ʻae tangata ketu ʻo hangē ko e hainite, pea ʻe hiva ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe noa: koeʻuhi ʻe tupu ʻi he toafa ʻae ngaahi vai, mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻi he potu lala.
7 Itshebetshebe elitshisayo lizakuba yisiziba, umhlabathi owomileyo ube yimithombo echaphaka amanzi. Ezindaweni amakhanka ake ahlala kuzo, utshani lemihlanga lebhuma kuzakhula khona.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kelekele mōmoa ko e anovai, mo e fonua fieinu ko e ngaahi matavai: pea ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, ʻi he potu naʻe taki taha tokoto ai, ʻe tupu ai ʻae mohuku mo e kaho mo e mohuku ʻoe ano.
8 Njalo kuzakuba lomgwaqo omkhulu: uzathiwa yiNdlela yobuNgcwele, izakuba ngeyalabo abahamba ngokuqonda. Abangcolileyo kabayikuhamba kuwo; uzakuba ngowalabo abahamba kuleyoNdlela lezithutha ezonayo kaziyikuhambahamba kuwo.
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala motuʻa, pea mo e hala, pea ʻe ui ia ‘Ko e Hala ʻoe Māʻoniʻoni;’ ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ai ʻae taʻemaʻa; ka e tuku ia kiate kinautolu ni: pea neongo ko e vale ʻae kakai fononga ʻe ʻikai te nau hē ai.
9 Akuyikuba lesilwane khona, loba esinye isilo esilolaka; sivuke kuwo kaziyikutholwa khona. Kodwa abahlengiweyo yibo kuphela abazahamba lapho,
ʻE ʻikai ʻi ai ha laione, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ki ai ha manu fekai, ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻi ai; ka ʻe ʻeveʻeva ai ʻae kakai kuo huhuʻi:
10 njalo labahlengiweyo bakaThixo bazabuyela. Bazangena eZiyoni behlabelela, intokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngumqhele emakhanda abo. Bazakuba lokuthula lenjabulo, usizi lokububula kuzaphela.
Pea ʻe foki mai ʻae kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻo haʻu ki Saione mo e ngaahi hiva, mo e fiefia taʻengata ʻi honau ʻulu: te nau maʻu ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka, pea ʻe puna atu ʻae mamahi mo e toʻe.”
