Kubusa kwaSimakadze ngekuthula
(Isa. 2:1-4)
1 Ngemalanga ekugcina
intsaba yelithempeli laSimakadze iyawucina,
ibe ngulephakeme kwendlula tonkhe tintsaba;
iyawuphakanyiswa ibe ngetulu kwemagcuma,
tive letinyenti tiyawubekelela
tiye kuyo tingasakhawuli.
2 Tive letinyenti tiyawufika titsi:
“Wotani, senyukele entsabeni yaSimakadze,
endlini yaNkulunkulu waJakobe.
Utasifundzisa tindlela takhe,
khona sitewuhamba emikhondvweni yakhe.
Ngobe umtsetfo uyawuphuma eSiyoni,
livi laSimakadze liphume eJerusalema.”
3 Uyakwehlulela emkhatsini wetive,
acatulule imibango yetive letinemandla,
edvute nakhashane.
Tona-ke tiyawukhandza tinkemba tato,
titente tibe ngemakhuba,
tikhali tato tibe tikelo tekutsena tihlala.
Sive singeke sihlasele lesinye ngenkemba,
futsi tive tingeke tisaceceshelwa kulwa imphi.
4 Bonkhe bantfu bayawuhlala ngekuthula
ngulowo nalowo esivinini sakhe
nasemikhiweni yakhe,
kubete lobesabisako.
Loku kwetsenjiswe nguSimakadze, longuSomandla.
5Tonkhe tive tikhonta tihloniphe bonkulunkulu bato,
kodvwa tsine siyawukhonta Simakadze
Nkulunkulu wetfu phakadze naphakadze.
Israyeli uyawubuya ekutfunjweni
6 Simakadze utsi:
“Sikhatsi siyeta,
mhlazane ngiyawubutsela ndzawonye
sive lengasijezisa,
bona labo lababuva buhlungu ekutfunjweni.
7 Bantfu balesive batishosha
kantsi bakhashane nemakhaya abo,
kodvwa ngiyawukwenta sicalo lesisha
ngensali yabo,
babe sive lesinemandla.
Ngiyawuba yiNkhosi yabo eSiyoni
kuze kube phakadze naphakadze.”
8 Nawe Jerusalema,
njengobe bewuyinqaba yekulondvolota
umhlambi wakho,
wena ntsaba yaseSiyoni
uyawuphindza futsi
ube yinhlokodolobha yalowo mbuso,
lowawuvele ungiyo.
9 Nikhalelani kakhulu kangaka?
Yini nikhale nijilajile
njengemfati aphetfwe ngumhelo?
Kungobe anisenayo yini inkhosi,
nebaholi benu sebafile yini?
10 Shumpani nibubule,
bantfu baseJerusalema,
nilingise umfati
aphetfwe ngumhelo nasatawubeleka,
ngobe nyalo senitawuphuma ekhaya
niyewuhlala etigangeni.
Nitakuya eBhabhulona;
noko lapho niyawusindziswa,
Simakadze uyakunephula etitseni tenu.
11Tive letinyenti
setibutsanele kuhlasela nine.
Titsi: “IJerusalema imelwe kutsi ibhujiswe.
Sitawubona tibondza taseSiyoni setibhidlitiwe!”
12 Kodvwa letive atati
kutsi yini lesengcondvweni yaSimakadze.
Atiwacondzi emasu akhe,
futsi atiboni nekutsi tibutselwe ndzawonye,
khona titewujeziswa kahle,
tibhujiswe njengekubhulwa kwemabele
labutselwe ndzawonye,
abutsaniselwa kubhulwa.
13 Simakadze utsi:
“Sive saseJerusalema,
hambani nijezise titsa tenu,
nitibhule njengemabele!
Ngiyakunenta nibe nemandla
njengenkunzi lenetimphondvo letiyinsimbi
ibe nemasondvo elitfusi.
Niyawucotfula tive letinyenti,
bese kutsi umcebo letatiwutfole
ngendluzula niwuletse kimi,
mine Simakadze,
iNkhosi yemhlaba wonkhe.”
