U-Isaya 21
21
Isiprofetho ngeBabele
1Isiprofetho ngehlane lolwandle.
Njengokudlula kwezivunguvungu eningizimu
kuvela ehlane ezweni elesabekayo.
2Ngitshelwe umbono olukhuni:
umphangi uyaphanga,
umchithi uyachitha.
Yenyuka, Elamu, vimbezela, Mediya;
konke ukukhala kwalo ngikwenza kuphele.
3Ngalokho ukhalo lwami lugcwele imihelo;
inkwantshu ingibambile njengenkwantshu yobelethayo;
ngikhonkobele ukuba ngingezwa,
ngiphele amandla ukuba ngingaboni.
4Ngadukelwa yingqondo,
ngashaywa luvalo;
ukuhwelela engakulangazelela
kwaphenduka ukuthuthumela kimi.
5Ngukulungisa itafula yini?
Ngukwendlala izindwangu,
ukudla nokuphuza, na?
Hhayi, sukumani, zikhulu,
nicobe izihlangu.
6Ngokuba ishilo kanje iNkosi, yathi:
“Hamba umise umlindi
ozakubika akubonayo.
7Lapho ebona abamahhashi,
amahhashi amabili ngamabili,
nezinkweli zezimbongolo,
nezinkweli zamakamela,
uyakuqaphela nokuqaphela ngesineke esikhulu.”
8 Obonayo wayesememeza, wathi:
“Nkosi yami,
ngimi njalo emini embhoshongweni wami,
ngihlezi ngisemlindelweni nasebusuku bonke.
9 Bheka, kuyeza isigaba samadoda,
amahhashi amabili ngamabili.
Wathatha wathi: ‘Liwile, liwile iBabele,
nazo zonke izithombe ezibaziweyo
zawonkulunkulu balo zidilizwe phansi.’ ”
10Wena ongokubhuliweyo kwami kwesibuya sami,
engikuzwileyo kuJehova Sebawoti,
uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
khona ngiyanazisa.
Isiprofetho ngeDuma
11 Isiprofetho ngeDuma.
Ukhona ongimemeza ngiseSeyiri, ethi:
“Mlindi, yisikhathi sini sobusuku na?
Mlindi, yisikhathi sini sobusuku na?”
12Umlindi wathi: “Kuyeza ukusa,
kepha kuse sebusuku.
Uma nithanda ukubuza, buzani;
buyani nize.”
Isiprofetho nge-Arabiya
13 Isiprofetho nge-Arabiya.
Hlalani ebusuku ehlathini lase-Arabiya
nina mahele aseDedanimi.
14Owomileyo bamlethela amanzi
abakhileyo ezweni laseThema,
bahlangabeza ababalekayo nesinkwa.
15Ngokuba babalekela izinkemba,
izinkemba ezihoshiweyo,
neminsalo ensaliweyo,
nobunzima bempi.
16 Ngokuba iNkosi ishilo kimi kanje, yathi: “Phakathi komnyaka, njengeminyaka yomqashwa, udumo lonke lwaseKedari luyakuphela, 17nensali yenani leminsalo yamaqhawe abaseKedari iyakuba ncane,” ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukhulumile.
