Izililo 2
1 INkosi iyigubuzele kangakanani indodakazi yeZiyoni ngeyezi entukuthelweni yayo, yaphosa ubuhle bukaIsrayeli busuka emazulwini busiya emhlabeni; njalo kayisikhumbulanga isenabelo senyawo zayo ngosuku lwentukuthelo yayo!
Ishe akafukidza sei Mwanasikana weZioni negore rokutsamwa kwake! Akapotsera pasi kubwinya kweIsraeri, kubva kudenga kusvika panyika; haana kurangarira chitsiko chetsoka dzake muzuva rokutsamwa kwake.
2 INkosi iginyile zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe, ingahawukeli; ekuthukutheleni kwayo idilizile izinqaba zendodakazi yakoJuda, yazisa emhlabathini; yangcolisa umbuso leziphathamandla zawo.
Ishe akamedza ugaro hwose hwaJakobho akasavanzwira tsitsi; mukutsamwa kwake akakoromorera pasi nhare dzoMwanasikana weJudha. Akawisira pasi umambo hwake namachinda ahwo mukunyadziswa.
3 Iqumile ngokuvutha kolaka lwayo lonke uphondo lwakoIsrayeli; yabuyisela emuva isandla sayo sokunene phambi kwesitha; yatshisa imelene loJakobe njengomlilo welangabi oqothula inhlangothi zonke.
Mukutsamwa kwake kunotyisa akagura nyanga dzose dzaIsraeri. Akadzosa ruoko rwake rworudyi pakasvika muvengi. Akapisa muna Jakobho somurazvo womoto unoparadza zvose zviri kumativi ose.
4 Igobisile idandili layo njengesitha; yema ngesandla sayo njengesitha; yabulala zonke izinto eziloyisekayo zamehlo ethenteni lendodakazi yeZiyoni; yathulula ulaka lwayo njengomlilo.
Akawembura uta hwake somuvengi; ruoko rwake rworudyi rwagadzirira. Somuvengi akauraya vose vaifadza kuona; akadurura hasha dzake semoto patende roMwanasikana weZioni.
5 INkosi yaba njengesitha; yaginya uIsrayeli, yaginya zonke izigodlo zakhe, yachitha inqaba zakhe; yandisa ukulila lesililo kundodakazi yakoJuda.
Ishe akafanana nomuvengi; akamedza Israeri. Akamedza mizinda yake yose uye akaparadza mhare dzake. Akawedzera kuungudza nokuchema kwoMwanasikana weJudha.
6 Ithethe ngodlakela idumba layo njengesivande; yachitha indawo yakhe yokuhlanganyela; uJehova wenza ukuthi kukhohlakale eZiyoni umkhosi omisiweyo lesabatha; wadelela inkosi lompristi ngokuvutha kolaka lwakhe.
Akaparadza ugaro hwake sebindu; akaparadza nzvimbo yake yokusanganira. Jehovha akaita kuti Zioni rikanganwe mitambo yaro yakatarwa namaSabata aro; mukutsamwa kwake kunotyisa, akaramba vose mambo nomuprista.
7 INkosi ilahlile ilathi layo; yadelela indawo yayo engcwele; yanikela esandleni sesitha imiduli yezigodlo zayo. Zakhupha umsindo endlini yeNkosi njengosukwini lomkhosi omisiweyo.
Ishe akaramba aritari yake uye akasiya nzvimbo yake tsvene. Akaisa mumaoko omuvengi masvingo emizinda yake; vakaita ruzha mumba maJehovha sapazuva romutambo wakatarwa.
8 INkosi yacabanga ukuchitha umduli wendodakazi yeZiyoni; yelulile intambo yokulinganisa; kayibuyisanga isandla sayo ekuginyeni; ngakho yenza ukuthi kulile umthangala lomduli, kanyekanye kuphele amandla.
Jehovha akafunga kuparadza rusvingo rwakakomberedza Mwanasikana weZioni. Akatambanudza rwodzi rwokuyera uye haana kudzosa ruoko rwake pakuparadza. Akaita kuti mirwi namasvingo zviungudze; zvose zvakaparara pamwe chete.
9 Amasango ayo atshonile emhlabathini; yabhubhisa yephula imigoqo yayo; inkosi yayo leziphathamandla zayo ziphakathi kwabezizwe; kakulamthetho; labaprofethi bayo kabatholi umbono uvela eNkosini.
Masuo aro anyura muvhu, akavhuna mazariro aro ndokuaparadza. Mambo waro namachinda aro vakaenda kuutapwa pakati pendudzi, murayiro hapachina, uye vaprofita varo havachawanizve zviratidzo zvinobva kuna Jehovha.
10 Abadala bendodakazi yeZiyoni bahlezi emhlabathini, bathule, bathele uthuli ekhanda labo, babhince amasaka; izintombi zeJerusalema zikhothamisele emhlabathini amakhanda azo.
Vakuru voMwanasikana weZioni vagere pasi vanyerere; vamwaya guruva pamisoro yavo ndokupfeka masaga. Vakadzi vechidiki veJerusarema vakotamisa misoro yavo pasi.
11 Amehlo ami ayaphela ngezinyembezi, imibilini yami idungekile, isibindi sami sithululelwe emhlabathini, ngenxa yokwephuka kwendodakazi yabantu bami; ngoba umntwana lomunyayo bayadangala ezitaladeni zomuzi.
Meso angu aneta nokuchema, ndiri kurwadziwa mukati mangu, mwoyo wangu wadururirwa pasi nokuti vanhu vangu vaparadzwa, nokuti vana navacheche voziya munzira dzomuguta.
12 Bathi kubonina: Angaphi amabele lewayini? lapho bedangala njengabagwaziweyo ezitaladeni zomuzi, lapho umphefumulo wabo uzithululela esifubeni sabonina.
Vanoti kuna vanamai vavo, “Zvokudya newaini zviripiko?” pavanoziya somurume akuvadzwa munzira dzomuguta, panodururwa upenyu hwavo. Mumaoko avanamai vavo.
13 Ngingakufakazelani? Kuyini engingakufananisa lawe, wena ndodakazi yeJerusalema? Kuyini engingakulinganisa lawe, ukuze ngikududuze, ntombi emsulwa ndodakazi yeZiyoni? Ngoba ukwephuka kwakho kukhulu njengolwandle; ngubani ongakwelapha?
Ndingareveiko pamusoro pako? Ndingakuenzanisa neiko, iwe Mwanasikana weJerusarema? Ndingakufananidze neiko, kuti zvimwe ndikunyaradze, iwe Mhandara Mwanasikana weZioni? Vanga rako rakadzika segungwa. Ndianiko achakuporesa?
14 Abaprofethi bakho bakubonele okuyize lokungafanelanga, kabakuvezanga ukona kwakho, ukuze babuyise ukuthunjwa kwakho, kodwa bakubonele imithwalo yamanga lezinkohliso.
Zviratidzo zvavaprofita vako zvakanga zviri zvenhema uye zvisina maturo; havana kubudisa zvivi zvako pachena kuti vabvise kutapwa kwako, zvirevo zvavakakupa zvakanga zviri zvenhema uye zvaitsausa.
15 Bonke abedlulayo ngendlela batshaya izandla ngawe, bancife, banikine ikhanda labo ngendodakazi yeJerusalema, besithi: Yiwo lo umuzi yini abathi ngawo uyikuphelela kobuhle, intokozo yomhlaba wonke?
Vose vanopfuura nepauri vacharova maoko vachikuseka; vanoseka uye vanodzungudza misoro yavo pamusoro peMhandara yeJerusarema vachiti: “Ko, ndiro here guta rainzi kukwana kworunako, mufaro wenyika yose?”
16 Zonke izitha zakho zikukhamisele umlomo wazo, ziyancifa, zigedle amazinyo, zithi: Siwuginyile; isibili lolu lusuku ebesilulindele, sesilutholile, silubonile.
Vavengi vako vose vanoshama miromo yavo pamusoro pako; vanoseka uye vanorumanya meno avo vachiti, “Tarimedza. Iri ndiro zuva ratanga takamirira; takararama kuti tirione.”
17 INkosi yenzile ebikucebile, igcwalisile ilizwi layo eyalilaya kusukela ensukwini zendulo; idilizile, kayihawukelanga; yenzile ukuthi isitha sithokoze phezu kwakho; yaphakamisa uphondo lwabamelene lawe.
Jehovha aita zvaakaronga; azadzisa shoko rake, raakatema kare. Akakukoromora asina tsitsi, akarega muvengi achifara pamusoro pako, akasimudza runyanga rwavavengi vako.
18 Inhliziyo yabo yakhala eNkosini: Wena mthangala wendodakazi yeZiyoni, inyembezi kazehle njengomfula imini lobusuku; ungaziphi ukuphumula, inhlamvu yelihlo lakho ingapheli!
Mwoyo yavanhu inodana kuna She. Iwe rusvingo rwoMwanasikana weZioni, rega misodzi yako iyerere sorwizi masikati nousiku; usazvipa zororo, meso ako asazorora.
19 Sukuma, unqongoloze ebusuku ekuqaleni kwemilindo, uthulule inhliziyo yakho njengamanzi phambi kobuso beNkosi; uphakamise izandla zakho kuyo ngenxa yempilo yabantwana bakho abancinyane, abaphela amandla ngenxa yendlala ekuqaleni kwaso sonke isitalada.
Simuka, danidzira usiku, panotanga varindi vousiku; durura mwoyo wako semvura pamberi paShe. Simudzira maoko ako kwaari nokuda kwoupenyu hwavana vako, vanoziya nenzara pamavambo enzira dzose.
20 Bona, Nkosi, ukhangele ukuthi wenze njalo kubani. Abesifazana bazakudla isithelo sabo yini, abantwana abancinyane ababasingathileyo? Umpristi lomprofethi bazabulawa endaweni engcwele yeNkosi yini?
“Tarirai, imi Jehovha, murangarire kuti: Ndiani wamakamboitira zvakadai? Ko, vakadzi vanofanira kudya vana vavo, ivo vana vavakarera here? Ko, vaprista navaprofita vangaurayirwa munzvimbo tsvene yaShe here?
21 Abatsha labadala balele emhlabathini ezitaladeni; intombi zami ezimsulwa lamajaha ami bawile ngenkemba; ubabulele osukwini lolaka lwakho, ujuqile kawuhawukelanga.
“Majaya navatana vavata pamwe chete muguruva romunzira; majaya angu navarandakadzi vangu vaurayiwa nomunondo. Makavauraya pazuva rokutsamwa kwenyu; makavabaya musina tsitsi.
22 Wabiza njengosukwini olumisiweyo izesabiso zami inhlangothi zonke, ukuze ngosuku lolaka lweNkosi kakho ophunyukileyo loseleyo; labo engabasingathayo ngabakhulisa isitha sami sabaqeda.
“Sokukokera kwamunoita zuva romutambo, saizvozvo makandikokera kutyisa kumativi ose. Pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha hakuna akapunyuka kana kurarama; vaya vandakachengeta uye ndikarera, vaparadzwa navavengi vangu.”
