U-Isaya 47

1 Yehla, uhlale othulini, ntombi emsulwa, ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni; hlala emhlabathini; akulasihlalo sobukhosi, ndodakazi yamaKhaladiya; ngoba kawusayikubizwa ngokuthi uthambile njalo ubuthakathaka.

to go down and to dwell upon dust virgin daughter Babylon to dwell to/for land: soil nothing throne daughter Chaldea for not to add: again to call: call by to/for you tender and dainty

2 Thatha amatshe okuchola, uchole impuphu, wembule isimbombozo sakho, ukhwince ilogwe, uveze umlenze, uchaphe imifula.

to take: take millstone and to grind flour to reveal: uncover veil your to strip skirt to reveal: uncover leg to pass river

3 Ubunqunu bakho buzakwembulwa, yebo, ihlazo lakho libonakale. Ngizaphindisela, ngingahlangani lawe njengomuntu.

4 UMhlengi wethu, iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe, oyiNgcwele kaIsrayeli.

5 Hlala ngokuthula, ungene emnyameni, ndodakazi yamaKhaladiya; ngoba kawusayikubizwa ngokuthi: Nkosikazi yemibuso.

to dwell silence and to come (in): come in/on/with darkness daughter Chaldea for not to add: again to call: call by to/for you lady kingdom

6 Ngabathukuthelela abantu bami, ngangcolisa ilifa lami, ngabanikela esandleni sakho; kawubenzelanga izihawu; walenza laba nzima kakhulu ijogwe lakho phezu komdala.

be angry upon people my to profane/begin: profane inheritance my and to give: give them in/on/with hand: power your not to set: make to/for them compassion upon old to honor: heavy yoke your much

7 Wena wathi: Ngizakuba yinkosikazi njalonjalo; kawukabeki lezizinto enhliziyweni yakho, kawukhumbulanga isiphetho sakho.

and to say to/for forever: enduring to be lady till not to set: put these upon heart your not to remember end her

8 Khathesi-ke zwana lokhu, wena ozithokozisayo, ohlezi uvikelekile, othi enhliziyweni yakho: Yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; kangiyikuhlala okomfelokazi, kangiyikwazi ukufelwa ngabantwana.

and now to hear: hear this voluptuous [the] to dwell to/for security [the] to say in/on/with heart her I and end I still not to dwell widow and not to know bereavement

9 Kodwa lezizinto ezimbili zizakwehlela ngokucwayiza kwelihlo ngasuku lunye: Ukufelwa ngabantwana lobufelokazi; kuzakwehlela phezu kwakho ngokuphelela kwakho, ngenxa yobunengi bobuthakathi bakho, ngenxa yobunengi obukhulu bamalumbo akho.

and to come (in): come to/for you two these moment in/on/with day one bereavement and widower like/as integrity their to come (in): come upon you in/on/with abundance sorcery your in/on/with strength spell your much

10 Ngoba wathembela ebubini bakho, wathi: Kakho ongibonayo. Inhlakanipho yakho lolwazi lwakho khona kwakuphambula, wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.

and to trust in/on/with distress: evil your to say nothing to see: see me wisdom your and knowledge your he/she/it to return: turn back you and to say in/on/with heart your I and end I still

11 Ngakho ububi buzakwehlela, kawusoze wazi lapho obenyuka khona; lengozi izakwehlela, ongelakho ukwenza inhlawulo yokuthula ngayo; lencithakalo ihle yehlele phezu kwakho, ungazi.

and to come (in): come upon you distress: evil not to know dawn her and to fall: fall upon you misfortune not be able to atone her and to come (in): come upon you suddenly devastation not to know

12 Mana khathesi ngamalumbo akho langobunengi bobuthakathi bakho otshikatshike kukho kusukela ebutsheni bakho; mhlawumbe uzakuba lakho ukuba lenzuzo, mhlawumbe unqobe.

to stand: stand please in/on/with spell your and in/on/with abundance sorcery your in/on/with in which be weary/toil from youth your perhaps be able to gain perhaps to tremble

13 Udiniwe ebunengini bamacebo akho; kakuthi basukume khathesi abahloli bamazulu, abakhangela izinkanyezi, abazisa ngezinyanga, bakusindise kwezizakwehlela.

be weary in/on/with abundance counsel your to stand: stand please and to save you (to divide *Q(K)*) heaven [the] to see in/on/with star to know to/for month: new moon from whence to come (in): come upon you

14 Khangela, bazakuba njengamabibi; umlilo uzabatshisa; kabayikuzophula emandleni elangabi; lingabikho ilahle lokotha, umlilo wokuhlala phambi kwawo.

behold to be like/as stubble fire to burn them not to rescue [obj] soul: myself their from hand: power flame nothing coal to/for to warm them flame to/for to dwell before him

15 Bazakuba njalo kuwe labo owatshikatshika labo, owathengiselana labo kusukela ebutsheni bakho; bazazulazula, ngulowo lalowo ngendlela yakhe; kakuyikuba lomsindisi wakho.

so to be to/for you which be weary/toil to trade your from youth your man: anyone to/for side: beyond his to go astray nothing to save you
