UJUWELI 2 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Ibutho lakaSomnini lesikhonyani

¹ USomnini uthi: “Vuthelani ipalapala eZiyoni; nihlabe umkhosi entatjaneni yami ecwengileko.” Akuthi zoke izakhamuzi zihlengezele ngombana ilanga lakaSomnini liyeza; iye, selitjhidele khulu.

² Lilanga elimnyama nelifipheleko, ilanga lamafu nesigayegaye. Njengokusa kugubuzesa iintaba, kuza ibutho elikhulu; elingazange khelibekhona elinjalo nekadeni, nelingasoze labakhona eenkhathini ezizako.

³ Phambi kwalo kurhayila umlilo, ngemuva kwalo kurubha ilangabu. Phambi kwalo inarha injengesivande se-Edeni, ngemuva kwalo kube libhudu lerhalawumba. Akunalitho elisindako kilo.

⁴ Ibuthweli liqaleka njengeenjomani; ligijima njengeenjomani zabakhweli.

⁵ Lilakutja eenqongweni zeentaba, ngetjhada elinjengeleenkarana zepi. Linjengokuthuthumba komlilo obabula amawunguwungu; linjengepi nayijokola evadleni.

⁶ Ngokuvela kwalo izizwe ziyavevezela; boke bethuka bomelele.

⁷ Ibuthweli lisahlela njengeenkutani; bakhuphuka ngomthangala njengamajoni. Boke banqomba rwe, abaphambuki emnqophenabo.

⁸ Abaliyani endleleni, omunye nomunye unqophe phambili. Nanyana baphoswa ngemikhonto ngapha nangapha, abaphambuki emnqophenabo.

⁹ Batheleka emzini, bagijime emthangaleni, bakhwela ezindlini, bangene emafesiderini njengamasela.

¹⁰ Phambi kwabo kudengezela iphasi, isibhakabhaka sihlengezele. Ilanga nenyanga kufiphale, iinkwekwezi zingasakhanyi.

¹¹ USomnini uzwakalisa ilizwi phezu kwebutho lakhe. Ngambala amabuthwakhe manengi khulu begodu baqinile abalalela imiyalwakhe. Iye, ilanga lakaSomnini likhulu, lesabeka kwamambala. Ngubani ongalijamela na?

Isizwe sibizelwa ekuphendukeni

¹² USomnini uthi: “Nanjesi buyelani kimi ngehliziywenu yoke, ngokuzila nokulila nokubibitheka.”

¹³ Dabulani iinhliziyo zenu, ingasi izambatho zenu kwaphela. Buyelani kuZimu uSomnini, ngombana unomusa nesirhawu, uthathela kude ukusilingeka, uthembeka khulu, uyariyada ekurhayileni.

¹⁴ Ngubani owaziko? Mhlamunye angajika atjhugulule umkhumbulo; anitjhiyele isibusiso: umnikelo wamabele nokuselwako kwakaSomnini uZimenu.

¹⁵ Vuthelani ipalapala eZiyoni; bekani ilanga lokuzila, nimemezele umhlangano okhethekileko.

¹⁶ Bizelani abantu ndawonye, nihlambulule ibandla, hlanganisani abaphathi ndawonye, nibuthelele abantwana, iye, ngitjho nabamunyako. Umkhwenyana akaphume ngelawini lakhe, nomlobokazi ngetendeni lakhe.

¹⁷ Abaphristi abalotjha phambi kwakaSomnini, abalile hlangana namathuri wethempeli ne-aldari, bathi: “Hawu Somnini! Rhawukela abantu bakho. Ungavumi bona ilifa lakho lirhubutjhwe libe sisiga hlangana nezizwe. Kubayini abantu bebathi ezizweni: ‘Njekhona uphi uZimabo loyo?’ ”

UZimu uphendula imithandazo yabantu bakhe

¹⁸ Yeke, uSomnini wamela inarhakhe, warhawukela abantu bakhe.

¹⁹ USomnini waphendula wathi ebantwini bakhe: “Nginithumelela amabele, isitjhidela sewayini namafutha we-oliva bona kunisuthise. Angeze ngisavuma bona babe siphoqo ezizweni.

²⁰ Ngizakudedisela ibutho letlhagwini kude nani; ngilihlakazele enarheni eyomileko neligagadu. Ihlokwalo iqale ngepumalanga yelwandle, umsilalo uqale ngetjingalanga yelwandle. Kukhuphuke umnukwalo, kuvuke isivunda salo ngombana benze izinto ezesabekako.”

²¹ Ungesabi wena hlabathi, kodwana thaba uthokoze ngombana uSomnini uzokwenza izinto ezikulu.

²² Ningesabi nina mbandana zommango, ngombana amadlelo emrhuleni azokuba lihlaza; nemithi ithele iinthelo zayo; imithi yamakhiwani nesidiribe kuhlome kuphuke.

²³ Thabani nani bantu beZiyoni, nithokoze kuSomnini uZimenu ngombana uzanipha labo abazanifundisa indlela efaneleko; uzaninisela izulu, okutjho ikhukhulamungu nesewula njengaphambilini.

²⁴ Izelelo zizakuzala amabele neembekelelo ziphuphume ngesitjhidela sewayini namafutha we-oliva.

²⁵ USomnini uthi: “Ngizanibuyisela amabele adliwa sikhonyani, yikumbi, newoma leentethe, okulibutho lami elikhulu engalithumela phakathi kwenu.

²⁶ Nje-ke, nizakuba nenala nidle nanele; nizakudumisa ibizo lakaSomnini uZimenu, owanenzela imikarisomraro. Isizwe sami angeze sisaphoqeka.

²⁷ Nizakutjho bona ngiphakathi ko-Israyeli, nokuthi nginguSomnini uZimenu akakho omunye. Isizwe sami angeze sisaphoqeka.”

Ilanga lakaSomnini

²⁸ “Kuzakuthi emuva kwalokho ngithululele uMoyami kibo boke abantu. Amadodanenu namadodakazenu azakuphorofida; abadala benu babhudange amabhudango; abatjha benu babone imibono.

²⁹ Iye, emalangeni lawo ngizakuthululela uMoyami naphezu kweenceku neencekukazi.

³⁰ Ngizakuveza amabono ezulwini nephasini: iingazi nomlilo nesimukumuku sentuthu.

³¹ Lokhu kuzakwenzeka ngebanga lokuza kwelanga lakaSomnini elikhulu nelesabekako; ilanga lizakuphenduka libe nzima nenyezi ibe ziingazi.”

³² Kuzakuthi boke ababiza ibizo lakaSomnini basindiswe, njengombana uSomnini atjho, asithi: “Phezu kwentaba yeZiyoni neJerusalema kuzakubakhona isindiso.” Nalabo uSomnini azababiza phakathi kwezizwe bazakusindiswa.
