Isaya 10

₁Maye kulabo labashaya imitsetfo lengakalungi,

kulabo labashaya imitsetfo yekucindzetela,

₂bentele kwemuka labamphofu emalungelo abo,

badlelele bantfu bami labacindzetelekile

emalungelo abo emtsetfocotfo,

batsatse imphango kubafelokati,

badlelele labangenaboyise.

₃Niyakwenta njani ngelilanga lekwehlulelwa,

ngesikhatsi sehlakalo sichamuka khashane?

Niyawubalekela kubani nicele lusito?

Niyakuwushiya nabani lomcebo wenu?

₄Kute leningakwenta

ngaphandle kwekushosha phansi

kanye nalabatfunjwako,

nome niwele phansi emkhatsini walababulewe.

Noko ngako konkhe loku,

lulaka lwakhe alukagucuki,

nesandla sakhe sisephakeme.

₅“Maye kulo lase-Asiriya,

indvuku yelulaka lwami,

lelisandla salo sifumbetse

sagila selulaka lwami.

₆Ngilitfumela esiveni lesingenaNkulunkulu,

ngilikhiphele kubantfu labangitfukutselisako,

kutsi lihlutfule imphango,

litsatse lokuphangiwe,

nekutsi libagcobagcobe phansi njengeludzaka lwendlela.

₇Kodvwa loko akusiko lebekuhloswe yinkhosi yase-Asiriya,

akusiko lebekusengcondvweni yayo.

Inhloso yayo kubhubhisa,

nekucedza tive letinyenti.

₈Itsi: ‘Akusito tonkhe yini

tindvuna tami lesetingemakhosi?

₉IKhalno ayikafanani yini neKhakhemishi?

IHamathi ayifanani yini ne-Aphadi?

ISamariya yona ayifanani yini neDamaseko?

₁₀Njengobe sandla sami sayibamba imibuso yetithico,

imibuso leyayimifanekiso yayo

yayendlula leya yaseJerusalema neyaseSamariya,

₁₁ngingeke yini ngimelane nayo iJerusalema

kanye netithico tayo,

njengaloku ngemelana nayo iSamariya netithico tayo?’ ”

“ ‘Ngemandla esandla sami ngikwentile loku,

nangekuhlakanipha kwami,

ngobe nginako kucondza.

Ngayisusa iminyele yetive, ngayiphanga imicebo yato.

Njengalonemandla ngabawisa labakhe khona.

₁₄Njengalofinyelela esidlekeni senyoni,

kanjalo sandla sami safinyelela

kuyo imicebo yetive;

njengobe bantfu babutsa emacandza lashiyiwe,

kanjalo nami ngawabutsa onkhe emave,

kute nalinye lelake labhengutisa luphiko

nome lavula umlomo lantjilota.’ ”

₁₅Lizembe liyatiphakamisa yini lona,

libe ngetulu kwalowo lolijikitisako?

Lona lisaha liyamhhongela yini lolisebentisako?

Kube shangatsi umzaca bewungamjikitisa

lowo lowuphetse nome sagila singamjikitisa

lowo longesiso sigodvo!

₁₆Ngako-ke, iNkhosi Simakadze lenguSomandla

iyawutfumela sifo lesondzisanako

kulabo labanemandla base-Asiriya;

ngephansi kwalokutikhukhumeta kwabo

kuyakokheleka umlilo,

yebo, umlilo lofanana nemalangabi lavutsako.

₁₇Kukhanya kwa-Israyeli kuyawuba ngumlilo,

Longcwele wakhe abe lilangabi.

Ngelilanga linye uyawuvutsa,

udle emanyeva akhe netitfwetfwe takhe.

₁₈Uyawucedza buhle bemahlatsi akhe,

nemasimi akhe lavundzile,

kuphele umtimba nemphefumulo,

kube njengekuphela kwemuntfu logulako.

₁₉Nemisalela yetihlahla telihlatsi lakhe

iyawuba mbalwa kangangekutsi

ngisho nemntfwana angatibhala phansi.

₂₀Ngalelo langa insali yaka-Israyeli,

ngisho labo labasasele bendlu yakaJakobe,

bangeke basetsembela kuye

lowo lowabashaya balahleka phansi;

kodvwa bayakwetsembela ngeliciniso

kuSimakadze, Longcwele waka-Israyeli.

₂₁Insali iyawubuyela emuva,

insali yakaJakobe iyawubuyela

kuSomandla longuNkulunkulu.

₂₂Nome sive sakho, wena Israyeli,

singaba sinyenti ngangesihlabatsi

saselugwini lwelwandle,

kuyawubuyela insali kuphela.

Imbhubhiso ikhishwe,

iphuphume ngekulunga.

₂₃INkhosi Simakadze lenguSomandla

nguye loyawuchuba lembhubhiso lekhishiwe

kulo lonkhe live.

“Awu, sive sami lesihlala eSiyoni,

ningawesabi ema-Asiriya

wona lanishaya ngendvuku aniphakamisele sagila,

njengobe kwakwenta baseGibhithe.

₂₅Masinyane intfukutselo yami kini itawuncamuka.

Intfukutselo yami

seyiyawumelana nema-Asiriya, iwabhubhise.”

₂₆Simakadze longuSomandla uyakuwashaya ngesiswebhu,

njengamzukwana ashaya emaMidiyani

edvwaleni lase-Orebi,

uyawuphakamisa indvuku yakhe ngetulu kwemanti,

njengobe enta eGibhithe.

₂₇Ngalelo langa umtfwalo wema-Asiriya

uyawususwa emahlombe enu,

nelijoko lawo lisuswe entsanyeni yenu;

lijoko litakwephulwa njengobe

senikhuluphele kangaka nje.

₂₈Ema-Asiriya angena e-Aya, adzabula eMigroni,

alondvolota imphahla yawo eMikmashi.

₂₉Angena emsahweni atsi:

“Sitawumisa busuku bunye eGeba.”

IRama iyatfutfumela,

iGibeya yakaSawula iyabaleka.

₃₀Khala, Ndvodzakati yaseGalimu!

Lalela, nawe Layisha!

Nine base-Anathothi labahluphekile.

₃₁IMadmena iyabaleka;

baseGebimu bagijimela kubhaca.

₃₂Lamuhla nje ema-Asiriya ayawumisa eNobi;

ayawujikitisa tibhakela tawo

entsabeni yeNdvodzakati yaseSiyoni,

egcumeni laseJerusalema.

₃₃Bukani la, iNkhosi Simakadze lenguSomandla

iyawujuba emagala ngemandla lamakhulu.

Tihlahla letiphakeme tiyawugawulwa,

leto letidze tiyawuwiswa phansi.

₃₄Uyawugawula tihlahla telihlatsi ngelizembe;

iLebanoni iyakuwa embikwakhe Lonemandla Onkhe.
