U-Isaya 14 Ukuwa kweNkosi yaseBhabhiloni

¹ Ngokuba uJehova uyakuhawukela uJakobe, abuye amkhethe u-Israyeli, abahlalise ezweni labo; abafokazi bayakuhlangana nabo, banamathele endlini kaJakobe.

² Abantu bayakubathatha, babayise endaweni yabo; indlu ka-Israyeli iyakubadla ezweni likaJehova njengezinceku nezincekukazi; futhi bayobusa phezu kwabacindezeli babo.

³ Kuyakuthi ngosuku uJehova aniphumuze ngalo osizini lwakho, nasekwesabeni kwakho, nasebugqileni obunzima obukhonzwe ngabo,

⁴ niphakamise lesi saga ngenkosi yaseBabele nithi: ‘Yeka ukuthi uphelile kanjani umcindezeli! umuzi wegolide umile!

⁵ UJehova uyaphule intonga yababi kanye nentonga yobukhosi yababusi.

⁶ Owashaya abantu ngokuthukuthela ngokushaywa njalo, owabusa izizwe ngolaka, uyazingelwa, akavinjwa muntu.

⁷ Umhlaba wonke uyaphumula, uthule; baqhume bejabula.

⁸ Yebo, imisayipuresi iyajabula ngawe, nemisedari yaseLebanoni, ithi: ‘Selokhu walalisa phansi, akakho umgundi okhuphukele kithi.

⁹ Isihogo esingaphansi silungiselelwe wena ukuba sikuhlangabeze ekufikeni kwakho; kwabangela ukuba wonke amakhosi ezizwe aphakame ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi.

¹⁰ Bazakhuluma bonke, bathi kuwe: Lawe usubuthakathaka njengathi yini? usufana nathi?

¹¹ Ubukhazikhazi bakho behlele eHayidesi, nomsindo wezingubhu zakho;

¹² Wawa kanjani ezulwini, wena Lusifa, ndodana yokusa! unqunyulwe phansi kanjani, wena othuya izizwe!

¹³ Ngoba wena wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngithanda ukukhuphukela ezulwini, ngizaphakamisa isihlalo sami sobukhosi phezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngiyakuhlala entabeni yokuhlangana, emagumbini akude asenyakatho.

¹⁴ Ngiyakwenyukela ngaphezu kweziqongo zamafu; ngizofana noPhezukonke.

¹⁵ Nokho uyakwehliselwa endaweni yabafileyo, ekugcineni komgodi.

¹⁶ Abakubonayo bayakukubheka, bakubuke, bathi: ‘Nguye lo muntu owazamazamisa umhlaba, owenza imibuso ithuthumele na?

¹⁷ owenza izwe libe njengehlane wachitha imizi yalo; ongayivulanga indlu yeziboshwa zakhe?

¹⁸ Wonke amakhosi ezizwe, wonke alele enkazimulweni, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe.

¹⁹ Kepha wena ulahliwe ethuneni lakho njengehlumela elinengekayo, nanjengezingubo zababulewe, abagwazwe ngenkemba, behlela ematsheni omgodi; inyathelwe phansi njengesidumbu.

²⁰ Awunakuhlanganiswa nabo ekumbelweni, ngokuba uchithile izwe lakho, wabulala abantu bakho; inzalo yabenzi bokubi ayisoze yaziwe.

²¹ Lungiselelani abantwana bakhe ukuhlaba ngenxa yobubi bawoyise; funa bavuke badle izwe, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngemizi.

²² Ngokuba ngiyakubavukela, usho uJehova Sebawoti, nginqume eBabele igama, nensali, nendodana, nomshana, isho iNkosi.

²³ Ngiyakuyenza ibe yifa lamagxolo ababayo namachibi amanzi; futhi ngokuqinisekile ngiyolishanela kanye nesilo esibhubhisayo,” kusho uJehova Sebawoti.

²⁴ UJehova Sebawoti wafunga wathi: “Impela njengokucabanga kwami kuyakuba njalo; njengalokho ngihlosile, kuyakuma kanjalo;

²⁵ ukuthi ngiyakwephula umAsiriya ezweni lami, ngimnyathele ezintabeni zami; khona ijoka lakhe liyakumuka kubo, nomthwalo wakhe emahlombe abo.

²⁶ Lesi yisinqumo esinqunyiwe emhlabeni wonke; yilesi isandla eselulelwe phezu kwezizwe zonke.

²⁷ Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti ukuhlosile, ngubani oyakuchitha na? nesandla sakhe seluliwe, ngubani ongasibuyisela emuva?

²⁸ Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u-Ahazi kwaba lomthwalo.

²⁹ Ungathokozi, Phalestina lonke, ngokuba udondolo lwalowo owakushaya lwaphukile; ngokuba empandeni yenyoka kuyakuphuma isihlahla seqhude, nesithelo saso sibe yinyoka evuthayo endizayo.

³⁰ Amazibulo abampofu ayakudla, nabampofu bayakulala belondekile; ngiyakubulala impande yakho ngendlala, abulale insali yakho.

³¹ Hewula wena sango! biza, muzi! wena, lonke iPhalestine, ubhubhile, ngoba kuyovela umusi uvela enyakatho, futhi akekho oyoba yedwa ngezikhathi zakhe ezimisiwe.

³² Khona-ke izithunywa zesizwe ziyoziphendula zithini? Ukuthi uJehova umisile iSiyoni, futhi abampofu babantu bakhe bayothembela kulo.
