U-Isaya 5 ZUL59

Isivini sikaJehova

1 Mangihlabelele ngothandiweyo wami,isihlabelelo sothandiweyo wami ngesivini sakhe.Othandiweyo wamiwayenesivini egqumeni elivundile kakhulu;

2 wasimba, wakhipha amatshe aso,wasitshala ngomvini omuhle,wakha isiqongo sokulinda phakathi kwaso,waqopha isikhamo kuso,wethemba ukuthi siyakuthela izithelo zomvini,kepha saveza izithelo zasendle.

3 “Manje nina enakhileyo eJerusalema namadoda akwaJuda,ake nahlulele phakathi kwami nesivini sami.

4 Nga kwenziwani futhi esivinini sami engingakwenzanga kuso na?Kungani ukuba lapho ngithembe ukuthi siyakuthela izithelo zomvini,saveza izithelo zasendle, na?

5 Sengiyakunitshela engiyakukwenza kuso isivini sami:ngiyakususa uthango lwaso, ukuze sidliwe,ngidilize ugange lwaso,ukuze sinyathelwe.

6 Ngiyakusenza sibe yincithakalo;asiyikuthenwa, asiyikulinywa,kepha kuyakuvela amakhakhasi nameva;futhi ngiyakuyala amafu ukuba anganisi imvula phezu kwaso.”

7 Ngokuba isivini sikaJehova Sebawoti siyindlu ka-Israyeli,namadoda akwaJuda ayisithombo sakhe esithandekayo;wabheka ukwahlulela, kepha bheka, ngukucindezela,yebo, ukulunga, kepha bheka, ngukukhala.

Amazwi okwahlulela okubi

8 Wo kubona abahlanganisa indlu nendlu,besondeza insimu nensimu,kuze kungabe kusaba khona indawo,kwakhe nina nodwa emhlabeni!

9 UJehova Sebawoti wathi ezindlebeni zami:“Impela izindlu eziningi ziyakuba yincithakalo,nezinkulu nezinhle zingabi namuntu ohlala kuzo.

10 Ngokuba ama-eka* ayishumi esiviniayakuthela ibhati* elilodwa,nehomere* lembewu liyakuthela i-efa* nje.”

11 Wo kubona abavuka ekuseni,ukuze balandele uphuzo olunamandla,balibale kuze kuhlwe,bashe iwayini!

12 Ihabu* nogubhu, isigubhu negenkle,newayinikukhona emadilini abo,kepha abanakekeli imisebenzi kaJehova,nezenzo zezandla zakhe abaziboni.

13 Ngalokho abantu bami bayathunjwa bengazi,nabadumileyo babo bayalamba,nezixuku zabo zigangathekile ngokoma.

14 Ngalokho indawo yabafileyo yandisile isifiso sayo,yavula umlomo wayo ngokungalinganiswayo;kwehlela kuyo amakhosi abo, nesixuku sabo esixokozelayo,kanye nabajabulayo phakathi kwabo.

15 Abantu bayafoliswa,namadoda ayathotshiswa,namehlo abaziphakamisayo ayathotshiswa,

16 kepha uJehova Sebawoti uphakeme ekwahluleleni,uNkulunkulu oNgcwele ungcwelisiwe ngokulunga.

17 Amawundlu ayakuklaba njengasemadlelweni awo,nasezincithakalweni zabacebileyo kuyakuklaba amazinyane.

18 Wo kubona abadonsa ukona ngezintambo zamanga,nezono kungathi ngamagoda ezinqola,

19 abasho ukuthi: “Makaphuthume,asheshise umsebenzi wakhe ukuba siwubone,kusondele isiluleko soNgcwele ka-Israyeli,sifike ukuba sisazi!”

20 Wo kubona abasho okubi ukuthi kungokuhle,nokuhle ukuthi kungububi,ababeka ubumnyama bube ngukukhanya,nokukhanya kube ngubumnyama,babeke nokubabayo kube ngubumtoti,nobumtoti bube ngokubabayo!

21 Wo kubona abahlakaniphile emehlweni abonabaqondile ekuboneni kwabo!

22 Wo kubona abangamaqhawe ngokuphuza iwayininamadoda anamandla ngokuxubanisa uphuzo olunamandla,

23 abathetha ababi ngenxa yemivuzo,basuse ukulunga kwabalungileyo!

24 Ngalokho njengolimi lomlilo ludla amabibi,nezikhotha ezomileyo zizika elangabini,impande yabo iyakuba njengokubola,nembali yabo iyakuthuquka njengebhuqu,ngokuba balahlile umthetho kaJehova Sebawoti,balidelela izwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

25 Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova iyavuthela isizwe sakhe;welulela isandla sakhe kuso, uyasishaya;izintaba ziyathuthumela,nezidumbu zabo ziyimfucumfucuphakathi ezitaladini;kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yakhe ayibuyi,isandla sakhe siseluliwe.

26 Uyakuphakamisela isizwe esikude ibhandela,*asihlabele ikhwelo ekugcineni komhlaba;bheka, uyeza masinyane ngejubane.

27 Akakho oyakukhathala,akhubeke kuso;akakho oyakozela, alale;ibhande* lezinkalo zabo aliyikuthukuluka,nomchilo wezicathulo zabo awuyikugqabuka,

28 bona abamicibisholo yabo ibukhali,nayo yonke iminsalo yabo insaliwe;izinyawo zamahhashi abo ziyakubalwa njengensengetsha,namasondo abo njengesivunguvungu.

29 Ukubhonga kwabo kunjengokwengonyamakazi,bayakubhonga njengamabhongo ebhubesi,yebo, bayakugwavuma,babambe impango yabo,bamuke nayo, kungekho oyophulayo.
