Kuthula kwaphakadze
(Mik. 4:1-3)
1Leli livi lelefika ku-Isaya, umsa wa-Amose, mayelana nesive sakaJuda nesaseJerusalema:
2 Ngemalanga ekugcina
intsaba yelithempeli laSimakadze iyawucina,
ibe ngulephakeme kwendlula tonkhe tintsaba;
iyawuphakanyiswa ibe ngetulu kwemagcuma,
tonkhe tive tiyawubekelela
tiye kuyo tingasakhawuli.
3 Bantfu labanyenti bayawufika batsi:
“Wotani, senyukele entsabeni yaSimakadze,
endlini yaNkulunkulu waJakobe.
Utasifundzisa tindlela takhe,
khona sitewuhamba emikhondvweni yakhe.”
Ngobe umtsetfo uyawuphuma eSiyoni,
livi laSimakadze liphume eJerusalema.
4 Uyakwehlulela emkhatsini wetive,
acatulule imibango yetive letinyenti.
Tona-ke tiyawukhandza tinkemba tato,
titente tibe ngemakhuba,
tikhali tato tibe tikelo tekutsena tihlahla.
Sive singeke sihlasele lesinye ngenkemba,
futsi tive tingeke tisaceceshelwa kulwa imphi.
5Kota, wenandlu yakaJakobe,
sitewuhamba ekukhanyeni kwaSimakadze.
Lilanga laSimakadze
6Ubalahlile bantfu bakho,
indlu yakaJakobe,
ngobe sebagcwele bungoma basemphumalanga;
bagcwele nekuphengula njengemaFilisti,
bamdzibimunye nemahedeni.
7Live labo ligcwele isiliva negolide;
ingcebo yabo ayinasiphetfo.
Live labo ligcwele emahhashi;
tincola temphi tinyenti kakhulu.
8 Live labo ligcwele tithico;
bakhotsamela umsebenti wetandla tabo,
loko lokwentiwe ngemino yabo.
9Ngako umuntfu utakwehliswa
neluntfu lonkhe lutfotjiswe,
ungabatsetseleli.
10 Hambani niyewungena emadvwaleni,
nibhace elutfulini,
nibalekele kwesabeka kwaSimakadze
nebumengemenge bebukhosi bakhe!
11 Emehlo ebantfu labatikhukhumetako ayawutfotjiswa,
kutsi kutigcabha kwebantfu kwehliswe;
Simakadze yena yedvwa
uyawuphakanyiswa ngalelo langa.
12 Simakadze longuSomandla umise lilanga,
ulibekele bonkhe labatigcabhako nalabatiphakamisako,
nako konkhe lokuphakanyisiwe,
kuze kutfotjiswe;
13lilanga lelibekelwe yonkhe imisedari yaseLebanoni,
lephakeme naletiphakamisako,
futsi libekelwe onkhe ema-okhi aseBhashani;
14lilanga lelimiselwe tonkhe tintsaba letiphakeme,
futsi limiselwe onkhe emagcuma laphakeme;
15lilanga lelibekelwe yonkhe imibhoshongo lephakeme,
futsi libekelwe tonkhe tibondza letitinqaba;
16lilanga lelimiselwe yonkhe imikhumbi yekuhweba,
libekelwe yonkhe imikhumbi lemikhulu
letfwele imicebo nemagugu.
17Kutiphakamisa kwebantfu
kuyakwehliselwa phansi,
nekutigcabha kwebantfu kutfotjiswe;
Simakadze yena yedvwa
uyawuphakanyiswa ngalelo langa,
18netithico tiyawunyamalala tiphele nya.
19Bantfu bayawubalekela emigedzeni yasemadvwaleni,
nasemigodzini lesemhlabatsini,
babalekele kwesabeka kwaSimakadze
nebumengemenge bebukhosi bakhe,
nakasukumela kunyakatisa umhlaba.
20 Ngalelo langa bantfu bayawulahla tithico tabo
emagundvwaneni nasemalulwaneni;
yebo, tithico tabo tesiliva
kanye netithico tabo tegolide,
lababetentele kutikhonta.
21Bayawubalekela emihumeni lesemadvwaleni
kanye naseticongweni tetihhehle,
babalekela kwesabeka kwaSimakadze
nebumengemenge bebukhosi bakhe,
nakasukumela kunyakatisa umhlaba.
22 Yekelani kwetsembela kubantfu,
emakhaleni abo kunekuphefumula nje.
Empeleni bayini nje?
