U-Isaya 45
1 “Nanku akutshoyo uThixo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, uKhurosi, engibamba isandla sakhe sokudla ukuba nginqobe izizwe eziphambi kwakhe, ngithathele amakhosi izihlangu zawo, ngivule iminyango phambi kwakhe ukuze amasango angavaleki:
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ki heʻene pani, kia Kolesi, ʻaia kuo u puke ki hono nima toʻomataʻu, ke fakavaivai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi hono ʻao; pea te u vete ʻae noʻotanga vala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, ke fakaava ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi matapā louua pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā;
2 Ngizahamba phambi kwakho ngenze izintaba zendlaleke. Ngizadiliza amasango ethusi, ngifohle emigoqweni yensimbi.
“Te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu pikopiko ke totonu: te u laiki ʻae ngaahi matapā palasa, pea tuʻusi ke motu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu:
3 Ngizakupha inotho yobumnyama, lenotho egcinwe ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo ukuze wazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okubiza ngebizo.
Pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe poʻuli, mo e koloa fufū ʻoe ngaahi potu lilo, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ko au, ko Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ui koe ʻaki ho hingoa, ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
4 Ngenxa kaJakhobe inceku yami, lo-Israyeli okhethiweyo wami, ngikubiza ngebizo ngikunike ibizo lokuhlonipha, lanxa wena unganginakanga.
Koeʻuhi ko Sēkope ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, mo ʻIsileli kuo u fili, kuo u ui ʻaki koe ho hingoa: kuo u fakahingoa koe, ka ʻoku teʻeki te ke ʻilo au.
5 Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye; ngaphandle kwami akulaNkulunkulu. Ngizakuqinisa, lanxa wena unganginakanga,
Ko au ko Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua mo au: naʻaku fakakofuʻi koe, ka ʻoku teʻeki te ke ʻilo au:
6 ukuze kuthi kusukela empumalanga kusiya entshonalanga, abantu bakwazi ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami. Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye.
Koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo mei he hopoʻangalaʻā, pea mei he lulunga, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au. Ko au ko Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha.
7 Ngenza ukukhanya njalo ngidale umnyama, ngiletha ukuphumelela njalo ngidale incithakalo; mina Thixo ngiyazenza zonke lezizinto.
Kuo u ngaohi ʻae maama, pea fakatupu mo e poʻuli: ʻoku ou fakahoko ʻae melino, pea fakatupu mo e tau: ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
8 Lina mazulu angaphezulu, nisani ukulunga; amayezi kawakuthululele phansi. Umhlaba kawuvuleke kabanzi kuhlume ukusindiswa, ukulunga akukhule lakho; mina, uThixo, ngikudalile.
Mapee hifo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi langi mei ʻolunga, pea tuku ke lilingi ʻe he ngaahi ʻao ʻae māʻoniʻoni: tuku ke fakamanga ʻae kelekele, pea tuku ke tupu ai ʻae moʻui, pea tuku ke tupu fakataha mo e angatonu; ko au ko Sihova kuo u fakatupu ia.
9 Maye kulowo ophikisa uMdali wakhe, kulowo oludengezi nje phakathi kwendengezi emhlabathini. Ibumba liyatsho na kumbumbi lithi, ‘Kuyini okubumbayo?’ Umsebenzi wakho uyatsho na uthi, ‘Kalazandla?’
ʻE malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku fekuki mo hono Tupuʻanga! Tuku ke fai ʻe he konga ipu maumau mo e ngaahi konga ipu maumau ʻoe kelekele. ʻE pehē ʻe he ʻumea kiate ia ʻoku ne fakafuofua ia, “Ko e hā kuo ke ngaohi?” Pe ko hoʻo ngāue, “ʻOku ʻikai hano nima?”
10 Maye kulowo othi kuyise, ‘Kuyini owakuzalayo?’ loba athi kunina, ‘Kuyini owakubelethayo?’
ʻE malaʻia ia ʻoku pehē ki heʻene tamai, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakatupu?” Pe ki he fefine, “Ko e hā ia kuo ke fanauʻi?”
11 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, loMdali wakhe uthi: Mayelana lezinto ezizayo, uyangibuza ngabatwabami na, loba uyangilawula emsebenzini engiwenzayo na?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, mo hono Tupuʻanga, “Fehuʻi kiate au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ʻoku kau ki hoku ngaahi foha, pea ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa hoku nima mou fekau mai kiate au.
12 Yimi engadala umhlaba, ngenza labantu abahlala kuwo. Ezami izandla yizo ezananabula amazulu; ngahlela amaxuku ezinkanyezi zawo.
Kuo u ngaohi ʻa māmani, pea fakatupu mo e tangata ʻi ai: ko au, kuo u folahi ʻe hoku nima ʻae ngaahi langi, pea kuo u fekau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē.
13 Ngizamvusa uKhurosi ngokulunga kwami, ngenze izindlela zakhe zonke ziqonde. Uzalakha futhi idolobho lami, akhulule abami abaxotshwayo elizweni, kodwa kungekho nhlawulo kumbe umvuzo, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “kuo u fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea te u fakahinohino hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē: te ne langa ʻeku kolo, pea te ne tukuange ʻeku ngaahi pōpula, ka e ʻikai koeʻuhi ko e fakatau, pe ko e totongi.
14 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Izithelo zaseGibhithe lempahla ethengiswayo yaseKhushi lamaSebhina lawana amade, bazakuza kuwe babengabakho, bazakhasabula ngemva kwakho, beze kuwe bebotshwe ngamaketane. Bazakukhothamela bakuncenge besithi, ‘Ngempela uNkulunkulu ulawe, kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu.’”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE haʻu kiate koe ʻae ngāue ʻa ʻIsipite, mo e koloa ʻa ʻItiopea, pea mo e kakai Sipa, ko e kau tangata lalahi, pea ʻe ʻaʻau ʻakinautolu: te nau muimui ʻiate koe; ʻi he ukamea fihifihi te nau aʻu mai, pea te nau tō ki lalo kiate koe, te nau kole kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha tokotaha, ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua.’”
15 Ngeqiniso unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, Nkulunkulu loMsindisi ka-Israyeli.
Ko e moʻoni ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ke fufū koe, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e Fakamoʻui.”
16 Bonke ababaza izithombe bazayangiswa badumazeke; bonke bazahamba beyangekile.
Te nau mā, pea puputuʻu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē: ʻe tutuku fakataha ʻi he maveuveu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ngaohi tamapua.
17 Kodwa u-Israyeli uzasindiswa nguThixo ngensindiso engapheliyo; kaliyikuyangiswa kumbe libe lehlazo kuze kube nininini.
Ka e fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli ʻia Sihova ʻaki ʻae moʻui taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai te mou mā pe puputuʻu ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
18 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo yena owadala amazulu, unguNkulunkulu, yena owabumba umhlaba wawenza, wawusekela; kawudalanga ukuba ungabi lalutho, kodwa wawenza ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo, uthi: “Mina nginguThixo, kakho omunye.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi langi; ko e ʻOtua pe ʻaia naʻe fakafuofua ʻa māmani mo fakatupu ia; kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ia, naʻe ʻikai te ne ngaohi ke taʻeʻaonga ia, naʻa ne fakafuofua ia ke nofo ai ʻae kakai: “ko au ko Sihova: pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha tokotaha.
19 Angikhulumanga ensitha kwenye indawo elizweni lomnyama; angizange ngithi kuzizukulwane zikaJakhobe, ‘Ngidingani lingangitholi.’ Mina Thixo ngikhuluma iqiniso; ngitsho okuqotho.
Naʻe ʻikai te u lea ʻi he lilo, ʻi ha potu fakapoʻuli ʻo māmani: naʻe ʻikai te u pehē taʻeʻaonga ki he hako ʻo Sēkope, ‘Kumi kiate au:’ Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ou fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu.”
20 Qoqanani ndawonye lize kimi; buthanani lina elabaleka ezizweni. Labo abahamba bethwele izithombe zezigodo kabazi lutho; labo abakhuleka kubonkulunkulu abangeke babasize.”
“Fakataha ʻakimoutolu pea haʻu; ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ʻakimoutolu kuo hao ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga: ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻae ʻakau ʻo ʻenau tamapua kuo tongi, pea hū ki he ʻotua ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui.
21 Memezelani okufanele kube yikho, likubike, kabemukele izeluleko ndawonye. Ngubani owabika lokhu endulo, ngubani owamemezela ngakho kudala le? Kwakungayisimi mina Thixo na? Njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo onguMsindisi; kakho omunye, yimi kuphela.
Mou tala, pea ʻomi ke ofi ʻakinautolu, ʻio, tuku ke nau fakakaukau fakataha: ko hai kuo ne fakahā ʻae meʻa ni mei he kuonga ʻi muʻa? Ko hai kuo ne tala ia mei he kuonga ko ia? ʻIkai ko au ko Sihova? Pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua mo au; ko e ʻOtua angatonu pea ko e Fakamoʻui; ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au.
22 “Phendukelani kimi lisindiswe, lonke lina mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba mina nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye.
“Sio mai kiate au pea mou moʻui ai, ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: he ko au pe ko e ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha.
23 Ngifunge ngami, ngobuqotho bonke umlomo wami ukhulume ilizwi elingayikwesulwa. Amadolo wonke azaguqa phambi kwami; izindimi zonke zizafunga ngami.
Kuo u fuakava ʻiate au pe, kuo ʻalu atu ʻae folofola ʻi hoku fofonga ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe ʻikai foki ia, ʻE peluki ʻae tui kotoa pē kiate au, ʻe fuakava mo e ʻelelo kotoa pē.
24 Zizakutsho ngami zithi, ‘Ukulunga lamandla kuThixo kuphela.’” Bonke abamthukuthelelayo bazakuza kuye bayangiswe.
Ko e moʻoni, ʻe pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, ‘ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e mālohi ʻia Sihova:’” ʻio, ʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kakai; pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻita kiate ia ʻe mā.
25 Kodwa Thixo yonke inzalo ka-Israyeli izafunyanwa ilungile, ithokoze iziqhenya ngaye.
ʻE tonuhia ʻia Sihova ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te nau vikiviki ai.
