Ngubani lona lometfukile wamhlambalata? Ngubani lona bewumbhodlela umetfwalela emehlo? NguLongcwele waka-Israyeli!
Isaya 5:24 - Siswati 1996 Bible Ngako-ke, njengobe lulwimi lwemlilo lukhotsa tibi, nanjengobe tjani lobomile bushona phansi, nabushiswa ngemalangabi, kanjalo timphandze tabo tiyawubola, netimbali tabo tiphephuke njengelutfuli; ngobe bawalile umtsetfo waSimakadze longuSomandla, bedzelela livi laLongcwele waka-Israyeli. |
Ngubani lona lometfukile wamhlambalata? Ngubani lona bewumbhodlela umetfwalela emehlo? NguLongcwele waka-Israyeli!
“Kodvwa abazange bakulalele, esikhundleni saloko bakuhlubuka, umtsetfo wakho bawufulatsela. Babulala baphrofethi bakho labebabayala kutsi babuyele kuwe; benta tinhlamba letesabeka kabi kakhulu.
Situngeletela timphandze taso encunjini yematje, setame kufuna indzawo lapho emkhatsini walamatje.
Ngekuphakama kwemandla akho ubacitsile labemelene nawe, intfukutselo yakho levutsako uyitfululele kubo, yabalumeka njengetibi.
Emadvodza lanemandla ayawuba timbhaca, umsebenti wawo ufanane nenhlase: kokubili kuyawusha ndzawonye, kubete longawucisha lowo mlilo.”
Awu, sive lesonako, bantfu labasindvwa kona, nine ntalelwane yalabenta lokubi, bantfwana labasimilo sabo sonakele. Simakadze sebamshiyile; bamhlubukile Longcwele waka-Israyeli, bagucuka bamfulatsela.
Ngako-ke sicalekiso siyawushwabudzela umhlaba, bantfu bawo kufanele baletfwale licala labo. Ngako-ke labahlala emhlabeni bayashiswa, kusale babe mbalwa kakhulu.
Simakadze, sandla sakho siphakamele etulu, kodvwa noko abasiboni. Bente babone inshisekelo yakho ngesive sakho, batewudliwa ngemahloni. Akutsi umlilo lowugcinele titsa takho udle bona ubacedze.
Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguLongcwele waka-Israyeli, utsi: “Ngobe niwalile lomlayeto, netsembela kumcindzeteli, natesekela ngekuyengwa,
Babantfu labahlubukako, bantfwana labanemanga, nalabangafuni kulalela imiyalo yaSimakadze.
Empeleni banjengemabibi etinhlanga layakusha onkhe ngemlilo, bangeke batisindzise kwabona kulamandla elilangabi. Lapha kute emalahle ekufutfumeta umuntfu, kute nemlilo longawotsa.
Inhloko yaka-Efrayimu yiSamariya, nenhloko yeSamariya ngumsa waRemaliya kuphela. Naningakemi nacina ekukholweni kwenu, ningeke nisema nicinile.’ ”
“Njengobe lesive siwalile emanti aseShilowa lehla kamnandzi, sajabulela Resini nendvodzana yaRemaliya,
Ngempela bubi buvutsa njengemlilo; budla bucotfule tinchachabutane nemanyeva, bulumeka emahlatsi etihlahla ngemalangabi, kutsi titewushunca tibheke etulu ngaletikhulu tikhatsa tentfutfu.
Ngelulaka lwaSimakadze longuSomandla live liyawugagadzeka, nebantfu bayawuba tinkhuni temlilo; kute loyawuphephisa umnakabo.
Awu mhlaba, vani! Ngitakwehlisela inhlekelele kulesive, sitselo semacebo abo, ngobe abakawalaleli emavi ami, bawala nemtsetfo wami.
Labahlakaniphile bayawuhlazeka; bayawujabhiswa, babhajwe elugibeni. Njengobe balilahlile livi laSimakadze nje, banakuphi-ke kuhlakanipha?
“Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi Simakadze, itsi: Njengobe nginike lukhuni lwemvini emkhatsini wetihlahla telihlatsi kutsi lubaswe emlilweni, ngiyawubaphatsa kanjalo-ke bantfu labahlala eJerusalema.
Ngingeke ngiyisebentise intfukutselo yami leyesabekako, futsi ngingeke ngiphindze ngimbhubhise Efrayimu. Ngobe mine nginguNkulunkulu, angisiye umuntfu, nginguLongcwele losemkhatsini wenu. Ngingeke ngifike ngelulaka.
Efrayimu uhushekile, imphandze yakhe ibunile, akasatseli titselo. Ngisho nome bangatala bantfwana, ngiyakuyibulala leyo mbewu yabo labayitsandzako.”
Ngemsindvo waso lofanana netincola temphi sigalaja ticongo tetintsaba; sisasamba njengemlilo nawushisa tibi, sihleleke njengemphi lenemandla levivela kuhlasela.
Naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi: “Bantfu bakaJuda bone kwaze kwengca, ngaleso sizatfu ngingeke ngihlale ngingabajezisi. Bawulahlile umtsetfo waSimakadze, bangete batigcina timiso takhe, bedukiswe tithico, lekutithico letatikhontwa boyisemkhulu.
“Kepha mine ngawabhubhisa ema-Amori embikwenu, nome abemadze njengemisedari acine njengema-okhi. Ngabhubhisa netitselo tawo ngetulu netimphandze tawo ngaphansi.
Bayawugigeleka bona emanyeveni, nasekudzakweni liwayini labo. Bayawushwabudzeleka njengemahlanga lomisiwe.
“Impela lilanga liyeta; liyawushisa njengemlilo lowesabekako nalohhumako. Bonkhe labatigcabhako bangangihloniphi nalabenta lokubi bayawuba tinhlanga, lelo langa lelitako liyawubalumekela ngemlilo,” kusho Simakadze longuSomandla. “Kute imphandze nome ligala leliyawusala kubo.
Sitja sakhe sekwela sisesandleni sakhe; uyawushanelisisa sibuya sakhe abutsele emabele esilulwini sakhe, kepha emakhoba uyawuwashisa ngemlilo longacimeki.”
Wase utsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Lonilalelako, ulalela mine; longanemukeli, akemukeli mine; nalowo longangemukeli, akamemukeli nalowo longitfumile.”
Esandleni sakhe unesitja sekwela emabele lasabhuliwe, awatsele esilulwini, bese kutsi emakhoba awashise ngemlilo longeke ucishe.”
Kodvwa baFarisi netati temtsetfo atiyemukelanga injongo yaNkulunkulu ngato, bala kubhajatiswa nguJohane.
Longalako, angawemukeli emavi ami, unemehluleli; livi lengilikhulumile liyawuba ngumehluleli wakhe ngemhla wekuphela.
“ ‘Caphelani, nine tedzeleli! Nimangale nife! Ngobe umsebenti lengiwenta emihleni yenu, nguleningeke niwukholwe, ngisho nome lomunye asanichazela ngawo.’ ”
Simakadze uyawugucula imvula yelive lenu ibe yintfutfu nelutfuli, kuyakwehla esibhakabhakeni uze uphele.
Ngako-ke lomelana naloku, akamelani namuntfu, kodvwa umelene naNkulunkulu lonipha Moya wakhe Longcwele.
Ngobe kuhlubuka kufanana nesono sekubhula, nekutigcabha kufanana nekukhonta tithico. Njengobe walile kutsatsa umyalo waSimakadze, naye sewukwalile kutsi uchubeke ube yinkhosi.”
Kodvwa Samuweli wamphendvula watsi: “Ngingeke ngincandzeke nawe. Ulilahlile livi laSimakadze, naSimakadze sewukucitsile ekutseni ube yinkhosi etikwesive sema-Israyeli!”
