ʻIsaia 22
1 Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai. Ko e hā kuo hoko kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ai hoʻo kakai kotoa pē ki he ngaahi tuʻa fale?
Isiphrofethi ngesiGodi soMbono: Kuyini okukukhathazayo khathesi, wena sewakhwela phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu,
2 ʻA koe ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he longoaʻa, ko e kolo maveuveu, ko e kolo ʻoe fakavā: ko hoʻo kakai kuo mate naʻe ʻikai mate ʻi he heletā, pe mate ʻi he tau.
wena dolobho eligcwele iziphithiphithi, wena dolobho lokuxokozela lokuthokoza? Abafayo bakho ababulawanga ngenkemba, njalo kabafelanga empini.
3 Kuo hola fakataha hoʻo kau pule kotoa pē, kuo haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata fana: ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe kuo haʻi fakataha, ʻakinautolu kuo hola mei he mamaʻo.
Bonke abakhokheli bakho babaleke bebonke, bathunjiwe bengazange basebenzise mtshoko. Lonke lina elabanjwayo lathathwa ukuba libe yizibotshwa ndawonye, libalekile isitha sisesekhatshana.
4 Ko ia naʻaku pehē, sio kehe meiate au; te u tangi mamahi, ʻoua naʻa ʻahiʻahi ke fakafiemālieʻi au, koeʻuhi ko e maumau ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai.
Ngakho ngathi, “Sukani kimi; lingiyekele ngikhale kabuhlungu. Lingazami ukungiduduza ngenxa yokuchithwa kwabantu bakithi.”
5 He ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi ia, mo e malaki hifo, pea mo e faingataʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai, ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka, pea mo e tangi ki he ngaahi moʻunga.
INkosi, uThixo uSomandla, ulosuku lokuxokozela lokugxoba lokwesaba eSigodini soMbono, usuku lokudiliza imiduli lokumemezela ezintabeni.
6 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlami ʻae hōfangahau mo e ngaahi saliote ʻae tangata mo e tangata heka hoosi, pea toʻo ʻe Kili ʻae kofu ʻoe fakaū.
I-Elamu ithatha isikhwama semitshoko, labatshayeli balo bezinqola zempi, lamabhiza; iKhiri lambula ihawu.
7 Pea ʻe pehē, ʻe fonu ho ngaahi teleʻa lelei ʻi he ngaahi saliote, pea ʻe fakatē ʻae kautau heka hoosi ʻi he matapā.
Izigodi zakho ezinhle kakhulu zigcwele izinqola zempi, abagadi bamabhiza bamiswe emasangweni edolobho.
8 Pea ʻe tatala ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi ʻo Siuta, pea te ke vakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he mahafutau ʻi he fale ʻoe vao lahi.
Ukuvikeleka kukaJuda kususiwe, Ngalolosuku wathemba izikhali eziseSigodlweni seHlathi,
9 Pea te mou mamata ki he ngaahi ava ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ia: pea te mou tānaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi vai ki he luo vai ki lalo.
wabona ukuthi iDolobho likaDavida lalilezikhala ezinengi ezivikelweni zalo; wagcina amanzi eSizibeni esingaPhansi.
10 Pea kuo mou lau ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea kuo mou veteki ʻae ngaahi fale ke fakamālohi ʻaki ʻae ʻā maka.
Wabala izindlu zaseJerusalema, wazidiliza ukuze kuqiniswe umduli.
11 Pea te mou ngaohi ʻae keli ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka ki he vai ʻoe luo vai motuʻa: ka ʻoku teʻeki te mou vakai kiate ia ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia ʻi muʻa ʻaupito.
Phakathi kwemiduli yomibili wakha indawo yokugcinela amanzi eSiziba esiDala. Kodwa kawukhangelanga kuLowo owasenzayo, kumbe umnake Lowo owaceba ukusenza kudala.
12 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ke tangi, pea ke tangilāulau, pea ke fafai ʻae ʻulu, pea ke vala ʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa.
Ngalolosuku iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, wakubiza ukuba ukhale ulile, usiphune inwele zakho, ugqoke isaka.
13 Pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fiemālie mo e fiefia, ko e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga pulu, mo e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga sipi, mo e kai ʻae kakano, mo e inu uaine: ke tau kai mo inu; he ko e ʻapongipongi te tau mate.
Kodwa khangela, kulokuthaba lokuthokoza, ukuhlatshwa kwezinkomo lokubalwa kwezimvu, ukudliwa kwenyama lokunathwa kwewayini! Lithi, “Kasidleni sinathe, ngoba kusasa sizakufa!”
14 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki hoku telinga, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mou maʻa ʻi he hia ni kaeʻoua ke mou mate, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
UThixo uSomandla usekuvezile lokhu ngisizwa: “Lesisono kasiyikuthethelelwa kuze kube lusuku lwakho lokufa,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
15 ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻAlu, ke ke hoko ki he tangata tauhi koloa ni, ʻio, kia Sepina, ʻaia ʻoku pule ki he fale, pea ke pehē,
Lokhu yikho okutshiwo yiNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Hamba, uthi encekwini le, kuShebhina ongumphathi wesigodlo:
16 Ko e hā ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Pea ko hai ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Koeʻuhi kuo ke tā moʻou ʻi heni ha fonualoto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tā moʻona ha fonualoto ʻi he māʻolunga, pea ʻoku tongi ha nofoʻanga moʻona ʻi he maka?
Wenzani lapha, njalo ngubani okuphe imvumo ukuba uzimbele ingcwaba lapha, ugubha ingcwaba lakho endaweni ephezulu, ugubha indawo yakho yokuphumula edwaleni?”
17 Vakai, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakapōpula fakamanavahē, pea ko e moʻoni te ne taʻomia koe.
Qaphela, sekuseduze ukuthi uThixo akubambe aqinise, akuphosele khatshana, wena ndoda elamandla.
18 Ko e moʻoni te ne foki mai pea lī mālohi koe ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa fuopotopoto ki ha fonua lahi: pea te ke mate ai, pea ʻe hoko ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi saliote lelei ko e fakamā ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.
Uzakugoqa ngokuqinisa akubumbe njengebhola akuphosele elizweni elikhulu. Uzafela khonapho. Lezigqoko zakho zempi ezinhle zizasala khonapho, wenza ihlazo endlini yenkosi yakho!
19 Pea te u kapusi koe mei hoʻo potu, pea te ne toho hifo koe mei ho puleʻanga.”
Ngizakususa esikhundleni sakho, njalo uzaxotshwa emsebenzini wakho.
20 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u ui ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hesekaia:
Ngalolosuku ngizabiza inceku yami, u-Eliyakhimu indodana kaHilikhiya.
21 Pea te u fakakofuʻaki ia ʻa ho kofu tōtōlofa, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaki ia ho noʻo, pea te u tuku hoʻo pule ki hono nima: pea te ne hoko ko e tamai ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, pea ki he fale ʻo Siuta.
Ngizamgqokisa izembatho zakho, ngimbophe ngebhanti lakho, ngimnike amandla akho. Uzakuba nguyise walabo abahlala eJerusalema lakwabendlu kaJuda.
22 Pea ko e ki ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita te u ai ki hono uma; ko ia te ne toʻo, pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻe ha taha; pea te ne tāpuni, pea ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha.
Ngizabeka phezu kwamahlombe akhe isivulo sendlu kaDavida; akuvulayo kakho ongakuvala.
23 Pea te u fakamaʻu ia ʻo hangē ha faʻo ʻi ha potu ʻoku maʻu; pea te ne hoko ko e nofoʻanga lelei lahi ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.
Ngizambethela njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinileyo; uzakuba yisihlalo sobukhosi sasendlini kayise.
24 Pea te nau tautau ʻiate ia ʻae lelei kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ko e hako mo e fānau, ʻae ngaahi ipu siʻi kotoa pē, mei he kihiʻi ipu inu, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ipu kehe kotoa pē.
Lonke udumo lwakwabo luzakuba kuye, inzalo yakhona lezizukulwane zonke, izitsha zakhona ezincinyane, kusukela emiganwini kusiya enkonxeni zonke.
25 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe toʻo ʻae faʻo naʻe fakamaʻu ki he potu maʻu, pea ʻe tuʻusi ki lalo, pea homo ia; pea ko e kavenga naʻe ʻi ai ʻe tuʻusi ke motu; he kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova.
“Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “isikhonkwane esabethelwa endaweni eqinileyo sizakhumuka; sizaqunywa siwe, umthwalo ophezu kwaso uzawela phansi.” UThixo usekhulumile.
