U-Isaya 40
1 Duduzani, liduduze abantu bami, utsho uNkulunkulu wenu.
Vahe'nimota mani so'e huta maniho, huno tamagri Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
2 Khulumani kunhliziyo yeJerusalema, limemeze kuyo ukuthi imfazo yayo iphelelisiwe, ukuthi ububi bayo buthethelelwe, ngoba yemukele esandleni seNkosi okuphindwe kabili ngazo zonke izono zayo.
Jerusalemi vahe'mofona fru kefinti nanekea zamasamio, Hapima manita neaza zamo'a amare eme vagare hunka kezatinka zamasamio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kumi'ma hu'naza zantera knazana ante agofetu huno ranknaza zamigahie. Hianagi menina maka kumi'zmia ko atrezmante'ne.
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo ehlanelithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, lenzele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo omkhulu oqondileyo enkangala.
Mago vahe'mofo ageru'mo kezatino amanage nehie, Ra Anumzamo'ma esania kana ka'ma kokampina retro nehuta, hagege kokampina Anumzamo'ma esania rankana varita eripehe hiho. (Matiu 3:3, Maki 1:3, Joni 1:23)
4 Sonke isigodi sizaphakanyiswa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; lokugobileyo kuzakwenziwa kuqonde, lendawo ezimaxhakaxhaka zibe ligceke.
Ana nehutma maka urami erami hu'nesnia agupofina mopa kateta ante pehe nehutma, ranra agonaramine ne'onse agonaramina kafitma eri agupo nehutma, marerino tamino'ma hu'nesiama'a erinte fatgo hu so'e hiho.
5 Inkazimulo yeNkosi izabonakaliswa, layo yonke inyama iyibone kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo weNkosi ukhulumile.
Anama hanageno'a Ra Anumzamofona hankavenentake masa'amo'a eama hanige'za, maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za kevagaregahaze. E'i ama ana nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a agipinti huama hu'ne. (Luk 3:4-6.)
6 Ilizwi lathi: Memeza! Wasesithi: Ngizamemeza ngithini? Yonke inyama ibutshani, labo bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengeluba leganga.
Hagi mago kezankemo'a huno, Ranke hunka kezatio huno higeno, Na'ane huna kezatigahue huno magomo'a higeno, Maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahera trazankna hu'nazankino, tanopafi me'nea trazaramimo amosre aheteno rutri huramiaza huno, ra zamagima eneriza zamo'a fanene hugahie.
7 Utshani buyabuna, iluba liyawohloka, ngoba uMoya weNkosi uphephetha kukho; isibili abantu babutshani.
Trazamo'a hagege nehigeno, amosre'amo'a mopafi evuneramie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agra'a zahora huhu hutregeno eno eme zamazeri tore hige'za mopafi evuneramize. Tamagerfa hu'za maka vahe'mo'za trazankna hu'naze.
8 Utshani buyabuna, iluba liyawohloka; kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu wethu limi kuze kube nini lanini.
Hanki trazamo'a hagege nehanigeno, trazamofo amosre'amo'a mopafi evuramigahie. Hianagi tagri Anumzamofo nanekemo'a, vaga oreno mevava hugahie. (1 Pita 1:24-25.)
9 Wena Ziyoni, oletha izindaba ezinhle, khwela entabeni ende; wena Jerusalema, oletha izindaba ezinhle, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngamandla, liphakamise ungesabi; tshono emizini yakoJuda uthi: Khangelani, uNkulunkulu wenu.
Saioni rankumapinti'ma knare musenkema huama'ma nehana vahe'moka, agonarega marerinka kagerura erisga hunka hankavetinka ana musenkea huama huo. Jerusalemi rankumapima mani'neta musenkema huama'ma nehaza vahe'mota, korora osutma kezatitma, Juda mopafima me'nea rankumatmimpima nemaniza vahera tamagri Anumzana ama'nagi keho hutma zamasamiho!
10 Khangela, iNkosi uJehova izakuza ngamandla, lengalo yayo izayibusela; khangela, umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.
Keho, Hihamu hankave'ane Ra Anumzamo'a egahiankino Agra'a hankave'areti vahera eme kegava hugahie. Ana hugahiankino mizama zamisia zana azampi eri'neno egahie.
11 Izakwelusa umhlambi wayo njengomelusi, izabutha amawundlu ngengalo yayo, iwathwale esifubeni sayo, ikhokhele kuhle ezimunyisayo.
Sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo nehiaza huno, agra vahe'a kegava hu so'e nehuno, Sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo sipisipi afu anenta'a asagufinka avrenteaza huno, agra vahe'a asagufinka zamavarenenteno, anenta'ma ante'naza sipisipi afutamina akoheno zamavareno vugahie.
12 Ngubani olinganise amanzi entendeni yesandla sakhe, walinganisa amazulu ngeminwe eyeluliweyo, wahlanganisa uthuli lomhlaba esilinganisweni, walinganisa izintaba ngesikali, lamaqaqa ngesilinganiso?
Hanki mago vahe'mo'a maka hagerina afino azampina erinteno refko'a huno kege, azamofo atumpa'aretira anteno mona refkoa huno kegahifi? I'za maka mopa kateno mago ekaeka kupina erinte vaga nereno, agonaramimofo kna'a erintenora refko huno negeno, ne'onse agonaramimofo kna'anena erinteno refko huno kegahie?
13 Ngubani oqondise uMoya weNkosi, kumbe wamfundisa engumeluleki wakhe?
Iza Ra Anumzamofo antahi'zana keno antahino nehuno, e'ina hunka maka zana trora huo hunora antahi'zana ami'ne?
14 Yelulekane lobani, owayenza yaqedisisa, wayifundisa endleleni yesahlulelo, wayifundisa ulwazi, wayazisa indlela yokuqedisisa?
Ra Anumzamo'a izampinti ama' antahi'zana enerino, antahintahi'zanena e'nerie? Antahi'zane fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'ava zanena, iza rempia hunemie?
15 Khangela, izizwe zinjengethonsi lenkonxa, zibalwa njengothuli lwesikali. Khangela, uphakamisa izihlenge njengento encinyane kakhulu.
Tamagerfa huno ama mopafi vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma zamageana, kavofinti timo osi'a pake huramiaza nehazageno, nanaza erinte'za kna'a negaza sigerire kugusopa meaza nehaze. Ana nehigeno hageri amu'nompima me'nea moparamina erinteno refko huno keana amne zankna hu'za osi kugusopagna hu'naze.
16 LeLebhanoni kayeneli ukutsha, lenyamazana zayo kazeneli umnikelo wokutshiswa.
Lebanoni mopafima ana maka mani'naza bulimakao afutminteti'ene, Lebanonima me'nea zafaramina ana maka antagita Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huntegahaze. Hianagi anazamo'a Ra Anumzamo'ma antahi'nea kantera ovugahie.
17 Zonke izizwe zinjengezingasilutho phambi kwayo, zibalwa kuyo zincinyane kulokungelutho lokuyize.
Agri avurera mika ama mopafi vahe'mo'za amane zaga mani'naze. Agrama zamageana amane zagama zamageaza huno nezmage.
18 Pho, lizamfananisa lobani uNkulunkulu, loba mfanekiso bani elizamlinganisa lawo?
Ina vahete huntenka Anumzanena mago avame hu'ne hunka hugahane? Inazamofo amema'amo agriknara hu'ne hunka hugahane?
19 Ingcitshi incibilikisa isithombe esibaziweyo, lomkhandi wegolide uyasinameka ngegolide, abumbe ngokuncibilikisa amaketane esiliva.
Mago'zamofo amema'a zafareti antreza tro hute'za golireti eri anovazinte'za silvareti seni nofira tro hu'za avasase'a hunte'naza havi anumzankna, Ra Anumzamo'a hu'nefi?
20 Lowo ongumyanga ongelamnikelo ukhetha isihlahla esingaboliyo, azidingele umbazi oyingcitshi ukuze alungise isithombe esingayikunyikinywa.
Hagi amunte omane vahe'mo'a havi anumzamofo amema'ama miza segama osia vahe'mo'a hankave zafa erino ana zama tro'ma nehaza eri'za vahe amigeno, ana havi anumzamofo amema'a zafare antreno tro hutegeno erinte fatgo huno antegeno me'neno avugosaregatira mopafina evunoramie.
21 Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga yini? Kalitshelwanga yini kwasekuqaleni? Kaliqedisisanga yini kwasekusekelweni komhlaba?
Kagra ontahi'nampi? Kagrira onkasmi'nafi? Ra Anumzamo'ma mopamofo agafa'ama erigafa huno tro'ma hu'neazana kora kasamigenka ontahi'nampi?
22 Kunguye ohlala phezu kwesigombolozi somhlaba, labahlali bawo banjengentethe; owendlala amazulu njengekhetheni, awelule njengethente lokuhlala;
Ra Anumzamo'a kini tra'are monafi manisga huno mani'nege'za, ama mopafi vahe'mo'za kenu taminkna hu'naze. Anamifima me'nea monaramina, selinoma hiaza huno eri atarentegeno enevigeno, vahe'ma mani seli noma eri atareno kintegeno meaza huno noma'a kintene.
23 owenza iziphathamandla zingabi yilutho, enze abehluleli bomhlaba babe njengeze.
Ama mopafi kva vahetmina, Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri fenkami atrege'za amane zankna nehaze.
24 Yebo, kabayikugxunyekwa; yebo, kabayikuhlanyelwa; yebo, isiqu sabo kasiyikugxila emhlabathini; laye uzaphephetha phezu kwabo, babune; lesivunguzane sibasuse njengamabibi.
Mago vahe'mo mensintfa avimza avina vati krigeno rafu'namo zahufa mopafi uorami'negeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amuho nentake zaho atregeno ame huno eno ana avimza eri hagege higeno, kagikagi zaho'mo witi hona'ama eri harafi huno freaza nehaze.
25 Pho, lizangifananisa lobani, engizafanana laye? kutsho oNgcwele.
Ruotge'ma hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Ina vahete hunteta nagrikna vahe mani'ne huta hugahaze?
26 Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulu, libone odale lezizinto; okhipha ibutho lazo ngenani; azibize zonke ngamabizo ngobukhulu bamandla akhe, ngoba eqinile emandleni; kayikho leyodwa esilelayo.
Kavua kesga hunka monafima me'nea hanafitmina iza trora hu'nefi ko? Ra Anumzamo agrake tro huzmanteteno, nama'a hanafitami me'neana, ana maka keno antahino nehuno, mago magomofona agi'a amitere hu'ne. Agrira tusi'a hankave'a me'negu huno kegava higeno, mago'mo'e huno fananea nosie.
27 Utsholoni, wena Jakobe, ukhulume, wena Israyeli ukuthi: Indlela yami isithekile eNkosini lesahlulelo sami sedlulisiwe nguNkulunkulu wami?
Hagi na'a higeta tamagra Israeli vahera Jekopu naga'mota amanage hutma ke hakarea nehaze, Ra Anumzamo'a knazantia nonkeno fatgo avu'avara hunorante hutma nehaze.
28 Kawazi yini, kawukezwa yini? UNkulunkulu olaphakade, iNkosi, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba kapheli amandla njalo kadinwa? Kakuphenyeki ukuqedisisa kwakhe.
Tamagra ontahi'nazafi? Tamagrira ontamasami'nazafi? Ra Anumzamo'a fanane osuno manivava Anumza mani'ne. Ama mopafima maka zama me'nea zantamina, agrake tro hu'ne. Magore huno agrira kasrora ahege, avesra hugera osugahie. E'ina hu'neankino mago vahe'mo'a agri antahi'zana hakenora eri forera osugahie.
29 Inika abadangeleyo amandla, lakwabangaqinanga yandisa amandla.
Hankavezmima omne'nea vahera Ra Anumzamo'a hankavea nezamino, hankavezamima omanegezama kasrokasarama nehaza vahera mago'ene hihamua sotu huno nezamie.
30 Labatsha bazaphelelwa ngamandla, badinwe, lamajaha azakuwa lokuwa;
Kasefa mofavreramimo'za zamavesra kosara hugahaze. Hankave kasefa vahe'mofonena hankavezmia omanesige'za traka hugahaze.
31 kodwa abalindela iNkosi bazavuselela amandla; bazaqonga ngempiko njengenkozi, bagijime bangadinwa, bahambe bangapheli amandla.
Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma, amuha nehu'za zamentintima nehaza vahe'mo'za, kasefa hankave eneri'za tumpamo hiaza hu'za haresga hu'za vano nehu'za, zamagama resnazana zmasafekura nosu'za, kama vanazana zamavesra osugahie.
