Hanki Juda kini vahera, Uzia'ma, Jotamu'ma, Ahasi'ene Hezekaiki hu'zama kinima mani'za e'naza knafina, Amosi nemofo Aisaia'a Jerusalemine Juda mopafima nemaniza vahetema fore'ma hania zana amanahu avana knaza ke'ne.
2 Zwanini, mazulu! Lalelani, mhlaba! Ngoba uThixo usekhulumile: “Ngondla abantwana ngabakhulisa, kodwa sebengihlamukele.
Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Monamoka nentahigeno, mopamoka antahio, mofavre naga'ma kegava huge'zama rama hu'naza mofavre naga'moza Nagrira zamefi hunenamize.
3 Inkabi iyamazi umniniyo, lobabhemi uyasazi isibaya somnikazi wakhe, kodwa u-Israyeli kazi, abantu bami kabaqedisisi.”
Hanki bulimakao afu'mo'a nafa'amofona keanke regeno, tonki afu'mo'a kegavama huntene'mo'ma ne'zama nemia kumara antahi ankere'ne. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za nagrira ke'za antahi'za osazageno, Nagri vahe'mo'za antahi amara osu'naze.
4 Maye kuso isizwe esonayo, abantu abathwele amacala, inzalo yabenza okubi, abantwana abaxhwalileyo! Sebemlahlile uThixo; bamdelele oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, bamfulathela.
Israeli vahera kumike vahe manizageno, kumi'mofo knamo zamazeri rentrako hu'ne. Havi zamavu'zamava nehaza vahe'mo'za zamagrira kasezmante'naze. Zamagra fatgo osu zamavu zamava nehaza vahe mani'ne'za, Ra Anumzana nenatre'za, ruotagema hunemofona kefenkami netre'za, Israeli vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzana zamefi humi'naze.
5 Kungani kumele litshaywe futhi? Kungani liqhubeka ngokuhlamuka? Ikhanda lakho lonke lilimele, yonke inhliziyo yakho ihlukuluziwe.
Na'a agafare e'inahu tamavutamavara huvava huta nevanageno knazana tamigahie? Na'ahigeta veganokanora huvava huta neaze? Zamasenifina kri me'negeno maka zamavufagamo'a hankave'a omane'ne.
6 Kusukela ngaphansi kwentende yonyawo lwakho kusiya esicholo sekhanda lakho akukho kuphelela, kodwa izilonda lemvivinya kuphela, kanye lamanxeba; akugeziswanga, akubotshwanga kumbe kwathanjiswa ngamafutha.
Henkamu zamagigo avozareti marerino anagamu zamasenire marerigeno, mago knare zana omane'neanki, ruzahu ruzahu namumo avite'ne. Ana higeno ana namuna sesera huno olivi masavena anteno anakigara osu'ne.
7 Ilizwe lenu lichithekile, amadolobho enu atshiswa ngomlilo, umhlaba wenu uphundlwa ngabezizweni, phambi kwenu uqobo, uchitheka njengalapho udilizwa ngabezizweni.
Hagi mopatamimo'a haviza huno megeno, ranra kumatamia tevemo te fanane hu'ne. Hozatamifintira nezmagazage'za ru kumate vahetamimo'za ne'zana eme eri vagare'za vu'naze. Ru kumatega vahe'mo'za e'za kumatamia eri haviza hazageno, mopa tamifina mago'zana omanetfa hu'ne.
8 Indodakazi yaseZiyoni isele njengedumba esivinini, njengendlwana ensimini yamajodo, njengedolobho elihonqolozelweyo.
Higeno hentofazama hu'nea Jerusalemi kumara atrazageno, waini hozafi fugagi no kinteankna huge, kono hozafi tona no kinteankna huge, ha' vahe'mo'za mago rankuma'ma kafo eme ante'za avazagi kagintazankna hu'ne.
9 Aluba uThixo uSomandla kasitshiyelanga abalutshwana abasindayo, sasizakuba njengeSodoma; sasizafana leGomora.
Hagi Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a tataregetama menima mani'nona vahe'mota Sodomune Gomora kumatremokema havizama huna'aza huta haviza husine.
10 Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lina babusi baseSodoma, lalelani umthetho kaNkulunkulu wethu, lina bantu baseGomora!
Hagi tamagra Sodomu kumate kva vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo nanekea antahi ankenerenke'za, Gomora kumate vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo kasegea tamagesa anteta antahiho!
11 “Ubunengi bemihlatshelo yenu buyini kimi?” kutsho uThixo. “Ngileminikelo yokutshiswa edlula efunekayo, eyenqama lamahwahwa ezifuyo ezinonisiweyo; igazi lenkunzi, lelamawundlu lelembuzi kalingithokozisi.
Hagi hakare'a zupama Kresramanama nevaza ofamo'a, nagri navurera amne zankna hu'ne huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

12 Lapho lisiza phambi kwami, ngubani othe linyathele amaguma ami na?
Hanki tamagrama Nagri navure'ma monote'ma neazageno'a, iza ama ana zantamina eri'neta eho huno huramante'ne? Anama hazazamo'a Nagri mono nompina tusi'a agasasa ruta vano nehuta, renkrare nehaze.
13 Yekelani ukuletha iminikelo eyize! Impepha yenu iyisinengiso kimi. Angingeke ngibekezelele imbuthano yenu yobubi, eyokuThwasa kweNyanga, amaSabatha lemihlangano.
Hagi Ofama erita neaza ofa agafa'a omane ofa erita neazanki Nagritera omeho. Mananentake'za insensima kre mnama nevaza zamo'a nago'nete. Kasefa ikante'ma musema hazafine, Sabati knare'ma nezama atretama mono'ma hazafine, mago'a knare'ma mono'ma hazafinena omanisua nagesa nehie. Na'ankure tamagrama haza kumi'mo, atruma huta mono'ma haza monora eri haviza nehie.
14 Umphefumulo wami uyawazonda amadili enu okuthwasa kwezinyanga lemikhosi yenu emisiweyo. Sekube ngumthwalo kimi; sengikhathele ngokukuthwala.
Kasefa ikante'ene huhamparinte'naza knare'ma musema nehaza musenkura, Nagri nagu'amo'a musena nosie. Anazamo'a Nagrira tusi knaza namige'na, erisga huzankura nevesra hu'ne.
15 Lapho lichaya izandla zenu likhuleka, ngizalifihlela amehlo ami; loba selikhuleka imikhuleko eminengi, angiyikulalela. Izandla zenu zigcwele igazi!
Hanki tamazama erisga huta nunamuma hanage'na, Nagra navua onke'nugeta, zaza nunamu hugahazanagi antahi oramigahue. Na'ankure ke'a omane vahe'ma zamaheta eri tagi'naza koramo'a tamazampina avite'ne.
16 Gezani libe ngabahlambulukileyo. Susani izenzo zenu ezimbi phambi kobuso bami; yekelani ukwenza okubi.
Hagi tamagra ti fretma agru nehutma, Nagri navure'ma havi tamavu tamava'ma me'neana eri netreta, kumi'ma hu'zana atreho.
17 Fundani ukwenza okulungileyo; funani ukwahlulela okuhle. Khuthazani abancindezelweyo. Vikelani izintandane; lamulelani umfelokazi.
Hagi knare avu'ava hu'zana rempi huta nentahita, fatgo huno refkohu avu'ava zana nehutma, kento a'nanea zamazeri so'e nehuta, kefo zamavu'zamavama nehaza vahera zamazeri fatgo nehuta, megusa mofavrea kegava huzmanteho.
18 Wozani, siqondisane sindawonye,” kutsho uThixo. “Lanxa izono zenu zibomvu gebhu, zizakuba mhlophe njengonqwaqwane, loba zibomvu njengegazi, zizakuba njengoboya bezimvu.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagra enketa ana zankura magopi keaga erinte fatgo hamneno. Tamagri kumimo'a oninake korankre hu'neanagi, Nagra sese huramante sanugeno, efeke huno hamponkna nehanigeno, koranentike hu'neanagi sipisipi afu'mofo azoka'moma hiaza huno efe'nentake hugahie.
19 Nxa livuma njalo lilalela, lizakudla okuhle kwelizwe;
Hagi tamarimpamo'ma o'netisigeta Nagri kema antahisutma, ama mopafinti'ma knarenare ne'zama fore'ma hania ne'zana tamagra negahaze.
20 kodwa nxa linqaba, lihlamuka, lizadliwa yinkemba.” Ngoba umlomo kaThixo usukhulumile.
Hianagi tamefi'ma hunenamita ke'nia'ma ontahisazana, bainati kazimofo ne'za segahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na amana kea nehue.
21 Khangelani ukuthi idolobho elithembekileyo seliphenduke laba yisifebe kanjani! Lake lagcwala ngokufaneleyo; ukulunga kwakuhlala kulo, kodwa khathesi sekuhlala ababulali!
Jerusalemi rankumamoka kora Nagri kea antahinka mani fatgo hu'nanane. Hianagi menina mago savri a' kna nehane. Kora makazampina fatgo hunka refko nehanke'za, kagri agu'afima nemaniza vahe'mo'za fatgo zamavu zamava hu'nazane. Hianagi menina Jerusalemi kumapina vahe'ma ahe fri vahe'mo avite.
22 Isiliva senu sesingamanyele, iwayini lenu elihle selihlanganiswe lamanzi.
Kagra kotera knare silvagna hu'nananagi menina krogro ahenea silvagna nehunka, kora knare wainigna hu'nananagi menina amane tinkna hu'nane.
23 Ababusi benu bangabahlamuki, abangane bamasela; bonke bathanda izivalamlomo, bafune izipho. Izintandane kabazivikeli; indaba yomfelokazi kayifiki kibo.
Jerusalemi kumamoka kva vahe'mo'za Nagri kea nontahi'za, kumazufa vahe'mokizmi knampa mani'naze. Zamagra masavema huno mago'a zama eri'zanku'ene, musezama erite'za eri'zama eri zankuke nehakaze. Zamagra megusa mofavrea zamaza nosu'za, kento a'nanemokizmi kaziga ante'za keaga nosaze.
24 Ngakho-ke iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uMninimandla ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Yebo! Ngizabhodlisela ezitheni zami, ngibuye ngiphindisele kwabayizitha zami.
E'ina hu'negu hanavenentake Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi hanave Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagri'ma ha'ma renantaza vahera nona hu'na ha'huzmantegahue.
25 Ngizaphakamisela isandla sami kini; ngizawahlambulula ngokupheleleyo amanyele enu, ngisuse lakho konke ukungcola kwenu.
Hagi naza rusute'na knazanteti tamavumro ante'na tamazeri haviza nehu'na, tamazeri pehenage'ma nehiazana ana maka tevefi kre fanane hu'na eri atregahue.
26 Ngizabuyisa abehluleli benu njengezinsukwini zakudala, labeluleki benu njengasekuqaleni. Muva uzabizwa ngokuthi iDolobho Lokulunga, iDolobho Elithembekileyo.”
Hagi Jerusalemi kumapima manine'za kema refko nehaza vahetamine, knare kanisol vahetamimo'za ko'ma ese agafare'ma mani'nazaza hu'na, ete zamazeri otigahue. Anama hutesuge'za vahe'mo'za henka'a hu'za, fatgo avu'avaza nehuno Ra Anumzamofo ke amagenentea rankuma me'ne hu'za hugahaze.
27 IZiyoni izahlengwa ngemfanelo, abaphendukayo bayo bahlengwe ngokulunga.
Saioni kumamofona fatgo avu'ava zanteti refko huno negeno ete avregahie. Ana nehuno ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za zamagu'ama rukrahe'ma hanageno'a, fatgo avu'ava huno zamagu vazigahie.
28 Kodwa abahlamuki lezoni bazachithwa, lalabo abalahla uThixo bazabhubha.
Hianagi kema ontahi vahe'ene kumi'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zanena havizantfa hanage'za, Ra Anumzamofoma zamefi'ma hunemiza vahe'mo'za omani'za fanane hugahaze.
29 “Lizayangeka ngenxa yezihlahla zomʼokhi ezingcwele elazithokozisa ngazo. Lizadana ngamasimu elawakhethayo.
Hanki tamagrama oki zafa agafafima havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza zanku'ene, hozama kariteta anampima havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza zankura tamagazegu hugahaze.
30 Lizafana lomʼokhi olamahlamvu asebuna, lanjengensimu engelamanzi.
Hanki tamagra oki zafamofo ani'namo harari hiankna nehuta, hozamo ti omanegeno hagege hiankna huta haviza hugahaze.
31 Indoda elamandla izafana lencwathi, umsebenzi wayo ufane lenhlansi; kokubili kuzakutsha kanyekanye, kungekho ozacitsha umlilo.”
Hagi hankavenentake vahe'mo'za hagege zafagna hu'nesageno, havi tamavu tamavamo'a teve rukaru huno neramaresigeno, mago vahe'mo ana tevea rusu hugara osugahie.
