< Isaya 11 >
1 Bukira richabva kudzinde raJese; Davi rinobva pamidzi yake richabereka muchero.
Kuzavela-ke uGatsha esidindini sikaJese, leHlumela likhule empandeni zakhe.
2 Mweya waJehovha uchagara pamusoro pake, mweya wouchenjeri newokunzwisisa, mweya wokurayira nowesimba, mweya wokuziva newokutya Jehovha,
LoMoya weNkosi uzahlala phezu kwakhe, uMoya wenhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, uMoya weseluleko lowamandla, uMoya wolwazi lowokwesaba iNkosi.
3 uye achafarira kutya Jehovha. Haazotongi nezvaanoona nameso ake, kana kutonga nezvaanonzwa nenzeve dzake,
Lephunga lakhe lizakuba sekuyesabeni iNkosi; kayikwahlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe, njalo kayikukhuza ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe;
4 asi nokururama achatongera varombo, nokururamisira achatongera vanyoro vapanyika. Acharova nyika neshamhu yomuromo wake; nokufema kwemiromo yake achauraya vakaipa.
kodwa uzakwahlulela abayanga ngokulunga, akhuze abathobekileyo bomhlaba ngobuqotho; njalo uzatshaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, langomoya wendebe zakhe uzabulala okhohlakeleyo.
5 Kururuma ndiro richava bhanhire rake uye kutendeka bhanhire romuchiuno chake.
Njalo ukulunga kuzakuba libhanti lokhalo lwakhe, lobuqotho bube libhanti lokhalo lwakhe.
6 Bere richagara negwayana, ingwe ichavata pasi nembudzi, mhuru neshumba nezvakakodzwa zvichafura pamwe chete; uye mwana mudiki achazvitungamirira.
Lempisi izahlala lewundlu, njalo ingwe ilale lezinyane; lethole, lebhongo lesilwane, lokunonisiweyo ndawonye; lomfana omncinyane uzakuqhuba.
7 Mhou ichafura nebere, vana vazvo vachavata pasi pamwe chete, uye shumba ichadya uswa senzombe.
Inkomokazi lebhere kuzakudla; amathole akho alale ndawonye; lesilwane sizakudla amahlanga njengenkabi.
8 Mwana mucheche achatambira pedyo nomwena wemhakure, uye mwana mudiki achaisa ruoko rwake mumwena wenyoka.
Lomunyayo uzadlalela phezu komlindi wenhlangwana, lolunyuliweyo afake isandla sakhe emlindini wephimpi.
9 Hazvingazokuvadzi kana kuparadza pagomo rangu rose dzvene, nokuti nyika ichazara nokuziva Jehovha semvura zhinji inofukidza gungwa.
Kabayikwenza okubi, njalo kabayikona entabeni yami yonke engcwele; ngoba umhlaba uzagcwala ulwazi lweNkosi njengamanzi esibekela ulwandle.
10 Pazuva iro Mudzi waJese uchamira somureza wamarudzi; ndudzi dzichamhanyira kwaari, uye nzvimbo yake yokuzorora ichabwinya.
Langalolosuku kuzakuba lempande kaJese ezakuma ibe luphawu ezizweni; izizwe zizadinga kuyo, lendawo yayo yokuphumula ibe lodumo.
11 Pazuva iro Jehovha achatambanudza ruoko rwake kechipiri kuti adzorezve vakasara ivo vanhu vake vakasiyiwa kubva kuAsiria, kubva zasi kweIjipiti, nokubva kumusoro kweIjipiti nokubva kuEtiopia, nokubva kuEramu, nokubva kuBhabhironi, nokuHamati uye nokubva kuzviwi zvegungwa.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi isebenzise isandla sayo futhi ngokwesibili ukubuyisa insali yabantu bayo, ezasala ivela eAsiriya leGibhithe lePatrosi leEthiyophiya leElamu leShinari leHamathi lezihlengeni zolwandle.
12 Achasimudzira marudzi mureza uye achaunganidza vakadzingwa vaIsraeri; achaunganidza vakaparadzirwa vavanhu veJudha, kubva kumativi mana enyika.
Izaphakamisela izizwe uphawu, ibuthe abaxotshiweyo bakoIsrayeli, iqoqe abahlakazekileyo bakoJuda, bevela ezingonsini zozine zomhlaba.
13 Godo raEfuremu richapera uye vavengi vavaJudha vachagurwa; Efuremu haachazovi negodo naJudha, naJudha haangaitire Efuremu hasha.
Lomhawu kaEfrayimi uzasuka, lezitha zakoJuda zizaqunywa; uEfrayimi kayikuba lomona ngoJuda, loJuda kayikucindezela uEfrayimi.
14 Asi vachawira pamusoro pamateru eFiristia kumavirazuva; pamwe chete vachapamba vanhu vokumabvazuva. Vachatora Edomu neMoabhu, uye vaAmoni vachava varanda vavo.
Kodwa bazaphapha phezu kwehlombe lamaFilisti ngentshonalanga; kanyekanye baphange abantwana bempumalanga; bazakwelulela isandla sabo kuEdoma loMowabi; labantwana bakoAmoni babalalele.
15 Jehovha achaomesa chose chikamu chegungwa reIjipiti; nemhepo inopisa achatsvaira noruoko rwake pamusoro peRwizi rweYufuratesi. Acharukamura-kamura agoruita hova nomwe, kuitira kuti vanhu vagone kuyambuka vachienda mhiri vakapfeka shangu.
LeNkosi izatshabalalisa ulimi lolwandle lweGibhithe, inyikinye isandla sayo phezu komfula ngamandla omoya wayo, iwutshaye ube yizifudlana eziyisikhombisa, ibenze bachaphe ngamanyathela.
16 Pachava nomugwagwa mukuru wavanhu vake vakasara, vakasiyiwa kubva kuAsiria, sezvazvakanga zviri kuvaIsraeri pavakabva kuIjipiti.
Kuzakuba khona umgwaqo omkhulu wensali yabantu bakhe abaseleyo bevela eAsiriya, njengalokhu kwakunjalo kuIsrayeli ngosuku lokwenyuka kwakhe elizweni leGibhithe.
