U-Isaya 31
31
Ubuze beGibithe
1 Wo kubona abehlela eGibithe
ukuba basizwe khona,
bencike emahhashini, bethemba ezinqoleni,
ngokuba ziningi,
nakubo abamahhashi,
ngokuba benamandla;
kepha ababheki koNgcwele ka-Israyeli,
noJehova abamfuni.
2 Nokho naye uhlakaniphile,
uyakuletha okubi;
akayikubuyisa amazwi akhe,
kepha uyakuvukela indlu yababi
nosizo lwabenza okubi.
3 AbaseGibithe bangabantu,
abasiye uNkulunkulu,
amahhashi abo ayinyama,
awasiwo umoya,
nalapho uJehova eyakwelula isandla sakhe
uyakukhubeka naye osizayo,
kuwe naye osizwayo,
baphele bonke kanyekanye.
4Ngokuba usho kanje kimi uJehova, uthi:
“Njengengonyama ebhongayo,
ibhongo lengonyama phezu kwempango yalo,
lapho abelusi abaningi belibizelwe,
aliyikwesaba izwi labo,
lingazithobi ngomsindo wabo,
kanjalo uJehova Sebawoti uyakwehla
ukuba alwe entabeni yaseSiyoni nasegqumeni layo.
5 Njengezinyoni ezindizayo
kanjalo uJehova, uJehova Sebawoti,
uyakulivikela iJerusalema;
uyakulivikela, alophule,
alidlule, alikhulule.”
6Buyelani kuye enimhlubukile ngokujulileyo kangako nina bantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 7 Ngokuba ngalolo suku bayakulahla, kube yilowo nalowo izithombe zakhe zesiliva nezithombe zakhe zegolide, ezizenzile izandla zenu zaba yisono senu.
8 “I-Asiriya liyakuwa ngenkemba,
kungengamuntu,
nenkemba engesiyo eyomuntu iyakuliqeda;
liyakubalekela usiko lwenkemba,
kepha izinsizwa zalo ziyakuba yizinceku zempoqo.
9Idwala lakhe liyakunyamalala ngovalo,
nezikhulu zalo ziyakuphela amandla ngebhanela,”*
usho uJehova omlilo wakhe useSiyoni,
nosithando sakhe siseJerusalema.
