U-Isaya 27
1 Ngalolosuku iNkosi ngenkemba yayo elukhuni lenkulu lelamandla izajezisa uLeviyathani, inyoka ebalekayo, ngitsho uLeviyathani inyoka egoqanayo, ibulale umgobho oselwandle.
Pazuva iro, Jehovha acharanga nomunondo wake, iwo munondo wake mukuru une simba uye unotyisa, Revhiatani nyoka inokurumidza, Revhiatani nyoka inogonyana; achauraya chikara chomugungwa.
2 Ngalolosuku hlabelelani ngaso isivini sewayini elibomvu.
Pazuva iro, “Imbai nezvomuzambiringa unobereka:
3 Mina Nkosi, ngiyasilondoloza, ngiyasithelela isikhathi sonke; hlezi kube khona osonayo ngisilondoloze ebusuku lemini.
Ini Jehovha ndini ndinouchengeta; ndinoramba ndichiudiridzira. Ndinourinda masikati nousiku kuitira kuti parege kuva neanoukanganisa.
4 Ukuthukuthela kakukho kimi. Ngubani ongabeka ukhula oluhlabayo lameva kumelane lami empini? Bengizamatsha ngidabule phakathi kwakho, ngikutshise kanyekanye.
Handina kutsamwa. Dai paingova nerukato neminzwa zvinorwa neni! Ndaienda kundorwa nazvo; ndaizvipisa zvose nomoto.
5 Kumbe kabambelele emandleni ami, enze ukuthula lami; uzakwenza ukuthula lami.
Kana kuti ngazviuye zvizovanda kwandiri; ngazviyanane neni, hongu, ngazviyanane neni.”
6 Izakwenza abavela koJakobe bagxile, uIsrayeli uzahluma, akhahlele, agcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngezithelo.
Mumazuva anouya, Jakobho achadzika midzi, Israeri achabukira uye achatunga maruva, agozadza nyika yose nomuchero,
7 Imtshayile yini njengokutshaya kwayo oyitshayayo? Ubulewe yini njengokubulawa kwababuleweyo bakhe?
Ko, Jehovha akamurova here sezvaanorova avo vakamurova? Akaurayiwa here sokuurayiwa kwakaitwa avo vakamuuraya?
8 Ngesilinganiso ekukuxotsheni izaphikisana lakho; izakususa ngomoya wayo olukhuni ngosuku lomoya wempumalanga.
Muhondo makarwa naye mukamudzinga, nokurwisa kwake kunotyisa akamudzinga, sezvinoitika pazuva rinovhuvhuta mhepo yokumabvazuva.
9 Ngakho ngalokhu isiphambeko sikaJakobe sizahlawulelwa; lalokhu kuyisithelo sonke sokususa isono sakhe, lapho esenza ukuthi wonke amatshe elathi abe njengamatshe ekalaga avuthuziweyo, izixuku lamalathi elanga kakuyikuma.
Zvino nenzira iyi, mhosva yaJakobho ichadzikinurwa, uye izvi zvichava chibereko chakazara chokubviswa kwechivi chake: Paanoita kuti aritari dzose dzifanane namabwe omunyaka akaputswa-putswa, hapana matanda aAshera kana aritari dzezvinonhuhwira zvichasiyiwa zvakamira.
10 Ngoba umuzi obiyelweyo uzakuba wodwa, indawo yokuhlala ixotshwe, itshiywe njengenkangala; lapho ithole lizakudla khona, lilale khona, liqede izingatsha zawo.
Guta rakakomberedzwa norusvingo rasiyiwa rava dongo, hwava ugaro hwakasiyiwa, kufanana nerenje; mhuru dzofura ikoko, uye ikoko ndiko kwadzinovata; dzinosiya matavi asisina chinhu.
11 Lapho ingatsha zawo sezomile zizakwephulwa; abesifazana beze bazibase; ngoba kabasibantu abaqedisisayo; ngakho-ke lowo owabenzayo kayikubahawukela, lowababumbayo kayikubatshengisa umusa.
Panooma matavi acho, anovhuniwa, uye vakadzi vanouya vovesa moto nawo. Nokuti vanhu ava havana njere; nokudaro Muiti wavo haachina tsitsi pamusoro pavo, uye Musiki wavo haangavaitiri nyasha.
12 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi ibhule kusukela esifudlaneni somfula kuze kube semfuleni weGibhithe; lina-ke lizabuthwa ngamunye ngamunye, bantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Pazuva iro Jehovha achapura kubva panoyerera Yufuratesi kusvikira paRukova rweIjipiti, uye imi vaIsraeri, muchaunganidzwa muchiita mumwe mumwe.
13 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku kuvuthelwe uphondo olukhulu, lalabo ababebhubhe elizweni leAsiriya labaxotshelwe elizweni leGibhithe, bazabuya bayikhonze iNkosi entabeni engcwele eJerusalema.
Uye pazuva iro hwamanda huru icharira. Vakanga vofira muAsiria uye navaya vakanga vatizira kuIjipiti vachauya kuzonamata Jehovha pamusoro pegomo dzvene riri muJerusarema.
