U-Isaya 43
1 Kodwa khathesi, nanku akutshoyo uThixo uthi, yena owakudalayo, wena Jakhobe, yena owakubumbayo, wena Israyeli: “Ungesabi, ngoba ngikuhlengile; ngikubize ngebizo lakho; ungowami.
Asi zvino, zvanzi naJehovha, iye akasika iwe Jakobho, iye akakuumba iwe Israeri: “Usatya, nokuti ndakakudzikinura; ndakakudana nezita rako; uri wangu.
2 Lapho udabula phakathi kwamanzi ngizakuba lawe; lalapho udabula emifuleni, kayiyikukukhukhula. Lapho uhamba phakathi komlilo, kawuyikutsha; amalangabi kawayikukubhebhisa.
Paunopfuura nomumvura zhinji ini ndichava newe; uye paunopinda nomunzizi, hadzizokukukuri. Paunofamba nomumoto, haungazotsvi; murazvo haungazokupisi.
3 Ngoba mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uMsindisi wakho. Ngizanikela iGibhithe njengenhlawulo yakho, iKhushi leSebha ime esikhundleni sakho.
Nokuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wako, Mutsvene waIsraeri, Muponesi wako; ndinopa Ijipiti kuti ive rusununguko rwako, Etiopia neShebha pachinzvimbo chako.
4 Njengoba wena uligugu njalo udumile ebusweni bami, futhi ngenxa yokuthi ngiyakuthanda, ngizanikela abantu esikhundleni sakho, labantu esikhundleni sempilo yakho.
Sezvo uchikosha uye uchikudzwa pamberi pangu, uye nokuti ndinokuda, ndichaisa vanhu panzvimbo yako, namarudzi avanhu pachinzvimbo choupenyu hwako.
5 Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizakulethela inzalo yakho ivela empumalanga ngikubuthe kusukela entshonalanga.
Usatya, nokuti ndinewe; ndichauyisa vana vako kubva kumabvazuva, ndichakuunganidzai kubva kumavirira.
6 Ngizakutsho kuyo inyakatho ngithi, ‘Bakhulule!’ Ngitsho kuyo iningizimu ngithi, ‘Ungabagodli.’ Buyisani amadodana ami akude lamadodakazi ami asemikhawulweni yomhlaba,
Ndichati kurutivi rwokumusoro, ‘Varegedze!’ uye kurutivi rwezasi, ‘Usavadzivisa.’ Uyisai vanakomana vangu kubva kure, uye navanasikana vangu vabva kumigumo yenyika,
7 wonke umuntu obizwa ngebizo lami, engamdalela udumo lwami, engambumbayo, ngamenza.”
vose vanodanwa nezita rangu, vandakasikira kukudzwa kwangu vandakaumba uye ndikaita.”
8 Phumani lalabo abayiziphofu amehlo belawo, abayizacuthe indlebe belazo.
Uyai neavo vane meso asi vari mapofu, vane nzeve asi vari matsi.
9 Izizwe zonke kaziqoqane ndawonye labantu babuthane. Nguphi wabo owaphrofitha lokhu wamemezela kithi ngezinto zendulo? Kabalethe ofakazi babo babonakalise ukuthi baqinisile, ukuze abanye bezwe, batsho bathi, “Kuqotho.”
Ndudzi dzose ngadziungane pamwe chete, uye marudzi ngaaungane. Ndianiko pakati pavo akati izvi zvichaitika, akatiparidzira zvinhu zvakare? Ngavauye nezvapupu zvavo kuti zvionekwe kuti havana mhosva, kuitira kuti vamwe vanzwe vagoti, “Ichokwadi.”
10 UThixo uthi, “Lina lingofakazi bami, lenceku zami engizikhethileyo, ukuze lazi, likholwe kimi, njalo lizwisise ukuthi mina nginguye. Ngaphambi kwami kakho unkulunkulu owake wabakhona, njalo kakho ozakuba khona emva kwami.
“Imi muri zvapupu zvangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye nomuranda wangu wandakasarudza, kuti mugoziva uye mugonditenda uye mugonzwisisa kuti ndini iye. Hakuna kumbova nomumwe mwari akaumbwa ndisati ndavapo, uye hakuchazova nomumwe shure kwangu.
11 Mina, mina uqobo, nginguThixo, ngaphandle kwami kakho omunye umsindisi.
Ini, iyeni, ndini Jehovha, uye kunze kwangu hakuna muponesi.
12 Ngivezile ngasindisa, ngamemezela, mina ngokwami, hatshi unkulunkulu wezizweni ophakathi kwenu. Lingofakazi bami, ngokuthi mina yimi uNkulunkulu” kutsho uThixo.
Ini ndakaratidza ndikaponesa, ndikaparidza, ini, kwete vamwe vamwari vedzimwe ndudzi vari pakati penyu. Imi muri zvapupu zvangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, kuti, “ndini Mwari.
13 “Ye, kusukela ensukwini zasendulo nginguye. Kakho ongakhulula esandleni sami. Lapho ngisenza, ngubani ongakuguqula na?”
Hongu, kubva pamazuva akare ndini iye. Hakuna angarwira munhu muruoko rwangu. Pandinoita chinhu, ndianiko angachikonesa?”
14 Lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi, “Ngenxa yenu ngizathumela impi eBhabhiloni ilethe bonke abaseBhabhiloni, njengeziphepheli ngemikhumbi ababezigqaja ngayo.
Zvanzi naJehovha, Mudzikunuri wenyu, Mutsvene waIsraeri: “Ndichatuma vanhu kuBhabhironi nokuda kwenyu, uye ndichaburitsa vaBhabhironi vose vachitiza, muzvikepe zvavaidada nazvo.
15 Mina nginguThixo, oNgcwele wenu, uMdali ka-Israyeli, iNkosi yenu.”
Ndini Jehovha, Mutsvene Wenyu, Musiki waIsraeri, Mambo wenyu.”
16 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo, yena owenza indlela olwandle lomkhondo emanzini alamandla,
Zvanzi naJehovha, iye akaita nzira pakati pegungwa, nenzira mukati memvura zhinji,
17 yena owakhupha izinqola zempi lamabhiza, ibutho, lamanye awokuliqinisa endawonye; njalo lalala lapho, kalaze lavuka futhi; licitshe, liqunywe njengentambo yesibane:
iye akabudisa ngoro namabhiza, hondo pamwe chete nezvinosimbisa, vakavata ipapo, havana kuzombomukazve, vadzimwa, vadzimwa somwenje:
18 “Khohlwani izinto zamandulo, linganakani ngosekwedlulayo.
“Chikanganwai zvinhu zvakare; musaramba muri pane zvakapfuura.
19 Khangelani, ngenza okutsha! Khathesi kuyavela ngokuphangisa; kalikuboni na? Ngenza indlela enkangala lezifula ogwaduleni.
Tarirai, ndava kuita chinhu chitsva! Zvino chava kumera; hamuchioni here? Ndiri kuita nzira mugwenga nehova musango.
20 Izinyamazana zeganga ziyangidumisa; amakhanka lezikhova, ngoba ngenza kube lamanzi enkangala lezifula ogwaduleni ukuze nginathise abantu abakhethiweyo,
Zvikara zvesango zvinondikudza, makava namazizi, nokuti ndinozvipa mvura mugwenga nehova musango, kuti ndipe vanhu vangu chokunwa, vasanangurwa vangu,
21 abantu engazenzela bona ukuba bangidumise.
vanhu vandakazviumbira, kuti vaparidze kurumbidzwa kwangu.
22 Kodwa kawukhalazanga kimi wena Jakhobe, kodwa ukhathele ngami wena Israyeli.
“Kunyange zvakadaro hauna kudana kwandiri, iwe Jakobho; hauna kuzvinetesa nokuda kwangu, iwe Israeri.
23 Kawungilethelanga izimvu zomnikelo wokutshiswa, kumbe wangidumisa ngemihlatshelo yakho. Angikuhluphanga ngeminikelo yamabele kumbe ngakudinisa ngokufuna impepha.
Hauna kundivigira makwai ezvipiriso zvinopiswa, kana kundikudza nezvibayiro zvako. Handina kukuremedza nezvipiriso zvezviyo, kana kukunetesa nokuda zvinonhuhwira.
24 Kawungithengelanga amakha ekhane anuka mnandi, kumbe wangisuthisa ngamahwahwa emihlatshelo yakho. Kodwa ungikhathazile ngezono zakho njalo wangidinisa ngezinengiso zakho.
Hauna kundivigira kana zvinotapira, kana kundigutsa namafuta ezvibayiro zvako. Asi wakandiremedza nezvivi zvako uye ukandinetesa nokudarika kwako.
25 Mina, mina uqobo, nginguye owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami, ngingabe ngisazikhumbula futhi izono zakho.
“Ini, iyeni, ndini ndinodzima kudarika kwako, nokuda kwangu, handizorangaririzve zvakaipa zvako.
26 Ngikhumbuza ngesikhathi esedlulayo, sibonisane ngaleyondaba ulandise ngoba msulwa kwakho.
Ndiyeuchidze zvakapfuura, ngatitaurirane nyaya iyi pamwe chete; zvipupurire kuti hauna mhosva.
27 Ukhokho wakho wokuqala wona; labakhulumeli bakho bangihlamukela.
Tateguru wako akatadza; vamiririri vako vakandimukira.
28 Ngakho izikhulu zethempelini lakho ngizaziyangisa; nginikele uJakhobe ekubhujisweni lo-Israyeli ekweyisweni.”
Naizvozvo ndichanyadzisa vanokudzwa vomutemberi yako, uye ndichaita kuti Jakobho aparadzwe uye Israeri asekwe.
