< U-Isaya 38 >

1 Ngalezonsuku uHezekhiya wagula eselengela ekufeni. Umphrofethi u-Isaya, indodana ka-Amozi waya kuye wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Lungisa indlu yakho ngoba uzakufa, awuyikusila.”
Hagi ana knafina Hesekaia'a kri eriteno fri'za hu'ne. Ana higeno kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia'a agrite eazamo, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie huno eme asami'ne, Krikamo'a vaga oresnigenka frigahananki, nagaka'a kehu atru hunka mika eri'zanka'a erinte fatgo huo.
2 UHezekhiya waphenduka wakhangela emdulini wakhuleka kuThixo esithi,
Higeno Hezekaia'ma anankema nentahino'a, avugosa rukrahe huno nozafarega hunenteno, Ra Anumzamofontega amanage hu'ne,
3 “Khumbula, Thixo, ukuthi ngihambe phambi kwakho ngokuthembeka langokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yami yonke, njalo ngenze okuhle emehlweni akho.” UHezekhiya wakhala kabuhlungu.
nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka kagri kavure'ma maka nagu'areti'ma hu'na keka'ama ruotagre'na amage'ma nente'nama, kagri kavure'ma knare navu'nava'ma hu'noa zankura kagesa antahi namio, nehuno Hezekaia'a krafage huno tusi zavi ate'ne.
4 Emva kwalokho kwafika ilizwi likaThixo ku-Isaya lisithi:
Anama higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a ete Aisaiana amanage huno kea asami'ne,
5 “Yana kuHezekhiya uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu kayihlo uDavida, uthi: Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho, njalo ngizibonile lezinyembezi zakho. Ngizakwengezelela iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu ekuphileni kwakho.
Kagra ete vunka, Ra Anumzana negageho Deviti Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka Hezekaiana ome asamio, Nagra nunamunka'a ko nentahi'na zavi'ma atana kavunura ko koanki'na, 15ni'a kafuka'a erinte zaza ha'nena manitenka henka frigahane.
6 Njalo ngizakukhulula wena, kanye ledolobho leli ezandleni zenkosi yase-Asiriya. Ngizavikela idolobho leli.
Ana nehu'na Asiria kini ne'mofo azampintira hara hu'na kagura nevazi'na, Jerusalemi rankuma'enena kegava hugahue.
7 Lesi yisibonakaliso sikaThixo kuwe sokuthi uThixo uzakwenza njengokuthembisa kwakhe:
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma avame'zama eri fore'ma hanigenkama negesunka, Ra Anumzamo'ma huvempama hu'nea zana tro hugahie hunka kagesa antahio.
8 Ngizakwenza umthunzi obangelwe lilanga ubuyele emuva amanyathelo alitshumi umthunzi owehle ngawo emakhwelelweni ka-Ahazi.’” Ngakho ukukhanya kwelanga kwabuyela emuva ngamanyathela alitshumi elaselikhothame ngawo.
Hagi Ahasi'ma latama ahentenege'za zagemofo kna'ama negaza latamofo amema'amo'ma ko'ma evu'neana ete 10ni'a zupa kamefiti renakerenka ete vuo huankino, ana huno ete vugahie, higeno kema hiankante anteno anazana efore hu'ne.
9 La ngamazwi alotshwa nguHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda emva kokuba esesilile ekuguleni kwakhe:
Higeno Hezekaiama kri'amo'ma atrentegeno'a amanage huno avona kre'ne,
10 Ngathi, “Ebuhleni bokuphila kwami kumele ngedlule emasangweni okufa ngamukwe iminyaka yami eseleyo na?” (Sheol h7585)
Nagrama antahuana zahufa kasefa vahe mani'nena fri'na vu'na kasefa'ma hu'na maniga knani'a, fri vahe kumapi umanigahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ngathi, “Angiyikumbona futhi uThixo ngokwakhe elizweni labaphilayo; angisayikubabona futhi abantu bakithi loba ngibe lalabo abahlala kulumhlaba.
Nagrama antahuana kasefa'ma huzama mani'naza vahe'mofo mopafina Ra Anumzana Anumzanimofona onkegahue nehu'na, ama mopafima kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahera zamavufina onkegahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
12 Njengethente lomelusi indlu yami idiliziwe ngayithathelwa. Njengomaluki impilo yami ngiyigoqile, ungisusile osungulweni; emini lebusuku ungenze ngaphela.
Hagi nagri nomanizamo'a sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo osi seli no ki'nea eri anafe huno viaza nehuno, kukena hati nofi'nu anaki antrako hiaza hige'na ko fri'noanagi ana nofipintira ahekano hutreno nazeri fru hu'ne. Anumzamoka zagene haninena knani'a eri atupa hanke'na nasimura atre'za hue.
13 Ngalinda ngokubekezela kwaze kwasa, kodwa amathambo ami uwephule wonke njengesilwane; emini lebusuku ungenze ngaphela.
Nagra akohe'na mani'nogeno nantera se'ne. Hianagi laionimo zaferina eri rarupeaza huno maka zaferinani'a nazeri rarupe'ne. Hagi feru'ene kenage'enena kagra nazeri haviza nehane.
14 Ngakhala njengenkonjane kumbe ihemu, ngabubula njengejuba elililayo. Amehlo ami afiphele ngokukhangela phezulu. Awu Thixo, ngikhathazekile, woza ungisize!”
Hagi kisave namamo'ene afi patomoke ha'aza hu'na krafa nehu'na, maho namamo'ma zavi'ma neteaza hu'na zavira ate'noe. Monafinkama kenagamutoa zamo higeno navumo'a nata negrigeno navunu hu'ne. Ra Anumzamoka hazenke zampi manuanki eme naza huo hu'na hu'noe!
15 Kodwa ngingathini na? Ukhulumile kimi, wena ngokwakho ukwenzile lokhu. Ngizahamba ngokuzithoba ekuphileni kwami konke ngenxa yobuhlungu bomoya wami.
Hianagi nagra na'ane hu'na kea hugahue? Ra Anumzamo'ma agrama nasami'nea kemofo amage anteno ana zana eri fore hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu nagrama kasefa'ma hu'nama mani'nama vanua kafu'afina, knazama namitenka nazeri knare'ma hu'nana zankura antahi kamigahue.
16 Thixo, abantu baphila ngezinto ezinje; lomoya wami uthola ukuphila kuzo. Wangibuyisela empilweni wangenza ngaphila.
Ra Anumzamoka amanahu' zama vahete'ma eri fore'ma nehanana, vahe'mofo avu'ava azeri rukrahe hankeno kasefa asimu e'nerie. Nagrite'ma amanahu' zama efore'ma hia zamo'a avamunimofona nazeri kasefa hu'ne. Ra Anumzamoka krini'a eri atrenka, nazeri so'e hanke'na ofri'na kasefa hu'na manue.
17 Ngeqiniso kwaba lusizo kimi ukuzwa ubuhlungu obungaka. Ngothando lwakho wangivikela emgodini wokutshabalaliswa; izono zami zonke uzibeke ngemva kwakho.
Tamage hunka nagri knare zanku hunka natrankena ana knazampina vu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka kagra kavesi nante'nanankinka natranke'na havizana hu'na kerifina uorami'noe. Ana nehunka maka kuminia eri atre'nane.
18 Ngoba ingcwaba alingeke likubonge lokufa akungeke kukudumise; labo abangena emgodini abangeke bathemba ubuqotho bakho. (Sheol h7585)
Na'ankure fri vahe kumapima nemanisaza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamoka hu muse hunogantesageno, fri vahe'mo'zanena kagia ahentesga osugahaze. Hagi fri vahe kumapima nemani'naza vahe'mo'za knare eri'zama enerina zankura amuhara huogamigahaze. (Sheol h7585)
19 Abaphilayo, ngempela abaphilayo, bayakudumisa njengalokhu engikwenzayo lamuhla; abazali batshela abantwababo ngobuqotho bakho.
Nagrama menima musema hunegantoaza hu'za kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza vahe'mo'zage humusea hugantegahaze. Hagi mago ne'mofonte'ma knare avu'ava zama hunte vava hu'nenana zamofo agenkea, mofavre'amofona asamitere huno vugahie.
20 UThixo uzangisindisa; njalo sizahlabelela ngamachacho kuzozonke insuku zokuphila kwethu ethempelini likaThixo.
Ra Anumzamo'a tamage huno nagu vazigahie. Ana hugahiankita kasefa'ma huta manisuna kna'afina maka zupa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi vuta zavena neheta, zagame huta agia ahentesga hugahune.
21 U-Isaya wayethe, “Lungisani isigaqa semikhiwa usifake phezu kwethumba, uzasila.”
Hanki anante Aisaia'a amanage huno Hezekaia eri'za vahera zamasami'ne, fiki zafa raga ante hagege huta regripeteta erita Hezekaia usagentera ome antenkeno teganino.
22 UHezekhiya wayebuze wathi, “Kuyini okuzakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi ngizakhwela ngiye phezulu ethempelini likaThixo na?”
Higeno Hezekaia amanage huno Aisaiana antahige'ne. Inankna avame'zamo nagritera efore hanige'na nege'na, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega ete mareri'na monora ome huntegahue?
