U-Isaya 2
1 Ilizwi uIsaya indodana kaAmozi alibona ngoJuda leJerusalema.
Izvi ndizvo zvakaonekwa naIsaya mwanakomana waAmozi, pamusoro peJudha neJerusarema:
2 Kuzakuthi-ke ekupheleni kwezinsuku intaba yendlu yeNkosi imiswe engqongeni yezintaba, iphakanyiswe phezu kwamaqaqa; lazo zonke izizwe zizajulukela kuyo.
Mumazuva okupedzisira, gomo retemberi yaJehovha richasimbiswa, richava guru pakati pamakomo; richakwiridzirwa pamusoro pezvikomo, uye ndudzi dzose dzichamhanyira kwariri.
3 Lezizwe ezinengi zizahamba zithi: Wozani senyukele entabeni yeNkosi, endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, njalo uzasifundisa ngendlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe; ngoba kuzaphuma umlayo eZiyoni, lelizwi leNkosi eJerusalema.
Ndudzi zhinji dzichauya dzichiti, “Uyai ngatiendei kugomo raJehovha, kuimba yaMwari waJakobho Iye achatidzidzisa nzira dzake, kuitira kuti tigofamba mumakwara ake.” Nokuti murayiro uchabva paZioni, shoko raJehovha richabva kuJerusarema.
4 Njalo izakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe, ikhuze abantu abanengi; njalo bazakhanda inkemba zabo zibe yizikali zamakhuba, lemikhonto yabo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla; isizwe kasiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba, kazisayikufunda impi futhi.
Achatonga pakati pendudzi uye achapedza gakava pakati pamarudzi mazhinji. Vachapfura minondo yavo vagoiita miromo yamagejo, namapfumo avo vagoaita mapanga okuchekerera miti nawo. Rudzi rumwe harungazosimudziri munondo kuno rumwe rudzi, kana kuzodzidzirazve kurwa.
5 Ndlu kaJakobe, wozani sihambe ekukhanyeni kweNkosi.
Uyai, imi imba yaJakobho, ngatifambei muchiedza chaJehovha.
6 Ngoba ubadelile abantu bakho, indlu kaJakobe, ngoba bagcwele okwempumalanga, bayizanuse njengamaFilisti, bazijabulisa ngabantwana bezizwe.
Nokuti makasiya vanhu venyu, ivo imba yaJakobho. Vakazara nezvinamato zvokuMabvazuva; vanoita zvokuvuka kufanana navaFiristia, vachibatana maoko nevedzimwe ndudzi.
7 Lelizwe labo ligcwaliswe isiliva legolide, njalo kakulakuphela kwenotho yabo; lelizwe labo ligcwaliswe amabhiza, njalo kakulakuphela kwenqola zabo.
Nyika yavo izere nesirivha negoridhe; pfuma yavo haiperi. Nyika yavo izere namabhiza; ngoro dzavo hadziperi.
8 Lelizwe labo ligcwaliswe izithombe; bakhothamela imisebenzi yezandla zabo, lokho iminwe yabo ekwenzileyo.
Nyika yavo izere nezvifananidzo; vanopfugamira mabasa amaoko avo, kuzvinhu zvakaitwa neminwe yavo.
9 Lomuntukazana uyakhothama, lomuntu omkhulu azithobe; ngakho kawubaxoleli.
Naizvozvo munhu achaderedzwa uye marudzi avanhu achaninipiswa, musavakanganwira.
10 Ngena edwaleni, ucatshe othulini, ngenxa yokwesabeka kweNkosi, langenxa yodumo lobukhosi bayo.
Pinda mumapako, uvande muguruva, ubve mukutyisa kwaJehovha nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake!
11 Amehlo aziqhenyayo omuntu azakwehliselwa phansi, lokuzikhukhumeza kwabantu kuzakhothanyiswa, njalo iNkosi kuphela izaphakanyiswa ngalolosuku.
Meso omunhu anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye kuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaderedzwa; asi Jehovha oga ndiye achakudzwa pazuva iro.
12 Ngoba usuku lweNkosi yamabandla luzakuba phezu kwakhe wonke ozigqajayo lozikhukhumezayo, lumelane laye wonke oziphakamisayo, ukuze athotshiswe,
Nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ane zuva raakachengetera avo vose vanozvikudza navanodada, navose vanokudzwa (uye vachaninipiswa),
13 lumelane layo yonke imisedari yeLebhanoni emide lephakemeyo, lumelane lazo zonke izihlahla zama-okhi zeBashani,
nemisidhari yose yeRebhanoni, yakareba neyakakwirira, nemiouki yose yeBhashani,
14 lumelane lazo zonke intaba ezinde, lumelane lawo wonke amaqaqa aphakemeyo,
namakomo ose akakwirira, nezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira,
15 lumelane lawo wonke umphotshongo ophakemeyo, lumelane lawo wonke umthangala obiyelweyo,
neshongwe dzose dzakakwirira, namasvingo ose akasimba,
16 lumelane layo yonke imikhumbi yeTarshishi, lumelane layo yonke imifanekiso eloyisekayo.
nezvikepe zvose zveTashishi, nemidziyo yose yakanaka.
17 Lokuziqhenya kwabantu kuzakhothanyiswa, lokuzikhukhumeza kwabantu kuzathotshiswa, leNkosi kuphela izaphakanyiswa ngalolusuku.
Kuzvikudza kwomunhu kuchaderedzwa, uye kuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaninipiswa; Jehovha oga ndiye achakudzwa pazuva iro,
18 Lezithombe zizaphela du.
uye zvifananidzo zvichapera zvachose.
19 Bazangena-ke ezimbalwini zamadwala lemihomeni yomhlaba, ngenxa yokwesabeka kweNkosi langenxa yodumo lokuphakama kwayo, lapho izavuka ukuqhaqhazelisa umhlaba.
Vanhu vachatizira kumapako amatombo, nokumwena yapasi nokuda kwaJehovha anotyisa, uye nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake, paanosimuka achizungunutsa nyika.
20 Ngalolosuku umuntu uzalahlela emagundwaneni lakubolulwane izithombe zakhe zesiliva lezithombe zakhe zegolide abazenzela zona ukuzikhonza,
Pazuva iro vanhu vacharasira kumakonzo nokuzviremwaremwa, zvifananidzo zvavo zvesirivha nezvifananidzo zvegoridhe, zvavakaita kuti vazvinamate.
21 ukungena ezingoxweni zamadwala lezingoxweni zamawa, ngenxa yokwesabeka kweNkosi langenxa yodumo lokuphakama kwayo, lapho izavuka ukuqhaqhazelisa umhlaba.
Vachatizira kumapako amatombo nokumikaha yakarembera, nokuda kwokutya Jehovha, uye nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake, paanosimuka kuti azungunutse nyika.
22 Lina phezani kumuntu, omphefumulo wakhe usemakhaleni akhe; ngoba unakanwa kukuphi?
Regai kuvimba nomunhu, anongova nokufema mumhino dzake. Anobatsireiko?
