< U-Isaya 62 >

1 Ngenxa yeZiyoni kangiyikuthula, langenxa yeJerusalema kangiyikuphumula, kuze kuphume ukulunga kwayo njengokukhanya, losindiso lwayo njengesibane esivuthayo.
Koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻe ʻikai te u fakalongo pe, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻe ʻikai te u mālōlō, kaeʻoua ke ulo atu ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama lahi, pea mo ʻene fakamoʻui ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoku ulo.
2 Labezizwe bazabona ukulunga kwakho, lamakhosi wonke inkazimulo yakho; njalo uzabizwa ngebizo elitsha, umlomo weNkosi ozakutha lona.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi Senitaile ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ki ho nāunau; pea ʻe ui ʻaki koe ʻae hingoa foʻou, ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova.
3 Njalo uzakuba ngumqhele wobuhle esandleni seNkosi, lomqhele wobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.
Pea te ke hoko foki ko e tatā ʻoe nāunau ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova, mo e pale fakatuʻi ʻi he nima ʻo ho ʻOtua,
4 Kawusayikuthiwa ngoTshiyiweyo, lelizwe lakho kalisayikuthiwa ngeliLahliweyo; kodwa uzabizwa ngokuthi nguHefiziba, lelizwe lakho ngokuthi yiBhewula; ngoba iNkosi ithokoza ngawe, lelizwe lakho lizakwenda.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe ui koe “ko e Liʻaki;” pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho fonua “ko e Lala:” ka e ui koe “ko Hefisipa,” mo ho fonua “ko Piula:” he ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, pea ʻe fai ʻae taʻane ʻi ho fonua.
5 Ngoba njengejaha lithatha intombi emsulwa, ngokunjalo amadodana akho azakuthatha; lanjengomyeni ethokoza ngomakoti, ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu wakho uzathokoza ngawe.
Hangē ʻoku mali ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou, ʻe pehē ʻae mali ho ngaahi foha mo koe: pea hangē ʻoku fiefia ʻae tangata taʻane ʻi he taʻahine, ʻe pehē ʻae fiefia ʻa ho ʻOtua ʻiate koe.
6 Ngibekile abalindi phezu kwemithangala yakho, Jerusalema, abangayikuthula kokuphela imini yonke lobusuku bonke. Lina elikhumbuza ngeNkosi, lingabi lokuthula,
Kuo u fekau ʻae kau tangata leʻo ki ho ngaahi ʻā, ʻE Selūsalema, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakalongo pē ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō; ko kimoutolu ʻoku fakahā ʻa Sihova, ʻoua ʻe fakalongo pe,
7 lingayiphumuzi, ize imise, njalo ize yenze iJerusalema ibe ludumo emhlabeni.
Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate ia ha fiemālie, kaeʻoua ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ia ʻa Selūsalema, pea ke ne ngaohi ia ko e ongoongolelei ʻi māmani.
8 INkosi ifungile ngesandla sayo sokunene, langengalo yamandla ayo: Isibili kangisayikunika amabele akho abe yikudla kwezitha zakho, njalo isibili amadodana awezizwe kawayikunatha iwayini lakho elitsha olitshikatshikeleyo.
Kuo fuakava ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi he nima ʻo hono mālohi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u toe foaki hoʻo uite ko e meʻakai ki ho ngaahi fili; pea ʻe ʻikai inu ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli ʻi hoʻo uaine, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ke maʻu:
9 Kodwa labo abawabuthileyo bazawadla, badumise iNkosi; lalabo abaliqoqileyo bazalinatha emagumeni obungcwele bami.
Ka ko kinautolu kuo tānaki ia te nau kai ia, pea fakamālō kia Sihova; pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻomi fakataha ia te nau inu ia ʻi he ngaahi loto ʻā ʻo hoku māʻoniʻoni.
10 Dabulani, dabulani emasangweni; lungisani indlela yabantu; phakamisani, phakamisani umgwaqo omkhulu, likhuphe amatshe, liphakamisele abantu uphawu.
Hū atu, hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā; teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe kakai; fokotuʻu hake, fokotuʻu hake ʻae hala māʻolunga; tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka; fokotuʻu ʻae fuka maʻa ʻe kakai.
11 Khangelani, iNkosi iyezwakala kuze kube sephethelweni lomhlaba: Tshonini kundodakazi yeZiyoni: Khangela, usindiso lwakho luyeza; khangela umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.
Vakai, kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, “Mou pehē ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui; vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.’”
12 Bazababiza ngokuthi ngaBantu abaNgcwele, abaHlengiweyo beNkosi; yebo, uzabizwa ngokuthi ngoDingiweyo, uMuzi ongaTshiywanga.
Pea te nau ui ʻakinautolu, “Ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni, Ko e kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova:” pea ʻe ui koe, “Ko e ʻofeina, Ko e kolo taʻeliʻaki.”
