U-Isaya 7 INkosi ikhuluma no-Isaya

¹ Ezinsukwini zika-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu ka-Uziya inkosi yakwaJuda uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakwa-Israyeli benyukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo, kodwa akakwazanga ukukunqoba.

² Kwabikelwa indlu kaDavide, kwathiwa: “I-Aramu ihlangene no-Efrayimi.” Inhliziyo yakhe yanyakaziswa, nenhliziyo yabantu bakhe njengemithi yehlathi inyakaziswa ngumoya.

³ Wayesethi uJehova ku-Isaya: “Hamba manje umhlangabeze u-Ahazi, wena noSheyari-jasub indodana yakho, ekugcineni komsele wedamu lasenhla, endleleni yasensimini yomhlanzi wezingubo;

⁴ Wathi kuye: “Nakekela, uthule; ningesabi, ningadangali ngenxa yemisila yomibili yale mililo ethunqayo, ngenxa yolaka lukaResini phezu kwe-Aramu nendodana kaRemaliya.

⁵ Ngokuba ama-Aramu, no-Efrayimi, nendodana kaRemaliya, babenecebo elibi ngani, bethi:

⁶ Masikhuphuke silwe noJuda, simxabanise, sisenzele ukufohla, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaThabehali.

⁷ Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuba khona, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.

⁸ Ngokuba inhloko yama-Aramu yiDamaseku, nenhloko yeDamaseku nguResini; phakathi kweminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu u-Efrayimi uyakwaphulwa angabi yisizwe.

⁹ Inhloko ka-Efrayimi yiSamariya, nenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uma ningakholwa, anisoze naqinisekiswa.

¹⁰ UJehova waphinda wakhuluma ku-Ahazi, wathi:

¹¹ Cela isibonakaliso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; buza ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu.

¹² Kepha u-Ahazi wathi: “Angiyikucela, futhi angiyikumlinga uJehova.”

¹³ Wasesithi: Lalela, wena ndlu kaDavida! Kuyinto encane kini ukukhathaza abantu, kodwa nizokhathala noNkulunkulu wami?

¹⁴ Ngakho-ke iNkosi uqobo izakunika isibonakaliso; Bheka, intombi iyakukhulelwa, izale indodana, iyibize ngokuthi u-Imanuweli.

¹⁵ Kufanele adle ibhotela noju lwezinyosi, ukuze akwazi ukwala okubi akhethe okuhle.

¹⁶ Ngoba ngaphambi kokuba umfana akwazi ukwala okubi futhi akhethe okuhle, izwe elizondayo liyoshiywa amakhosi alo amabili.

¹⁷ UJehova uyakwehlisela phezu kwakho nakubantu bakho naphezu kwendlu kayihlo izinsuku ezingazange zibe khona kusukela osukwini u-Efrayimi asuka ngalo kwaJuda; inkosi yase-Asiriya.

¹⁸ Ngalolo suku uJehova uyakushaya ikhwelo phezu kwempukane esekupheleni kwemifula yaseGibhithe naphezu kwezinyosi ezisezweni lase-Asiriya.

¹⁹ Ziyofika ziphumule zonke ezigodini eziyincithakalo nasemigodini yamadwala naphezu kwawo wonke ameva naphezu kwazo zonke izihlahla.

²⁰ Ngalolo suku uJehova uyakuphuca ikhanda nezinwele zezinyawo ngempuco eqashwe yibo ngaphesheya koMfula iNayile ngesandla senkosi yase-Asiriya, futhi iyoqeda nentshebe.

²¹ Ngalolosuku umuntu uyakwelusa ithokazi nezimvu ezimbili;

²² Futhi ngenxa yobisi oluningi abalunikezayo, uyodla ibhotela; ngokuba bonke abasala ezweni bayakudla ibhotela nezinyosi.

²³ Ngalolo suku yonke indawo lapho kwakukhona imivini eyinkulungwane ngezinhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, iyoba ngeyekhakhasi nameva.

²⁴ Abantu bayofika lapho bephethe iminsalo nemicibisholo; ngokuba izwe lonke liyakuba yikhakhasi nameva.

²⁵ Kuwo wonke amagquma ayogezwa ngenduku akuyikubakho ukwesatshwa kwamakhakhasi nameva, kepha kuyakuba ngelokuxosha izinkomo nokunyathela imfuyo encane.
