Isaya 13 - Siswati 1996 Bible

Nkulunkulu uyakuyijezisa iBhabhulona

¹ Leli livi lesembulo ngeBhabhulona, lelefika ku-Isaya, umsa wa-Amose, ngembono:

² “Phakamisani siboniso semphi, nisiphakamisele esicongweni sentsaba. Memetani kakhulu, nibakhwebe, khona batewuncandzeka babuye, bangene emasangweni alabaphakeme.

³ Labangcwele bami ngibatfumile, ngiwabitile emachawe ami lanemandla kutsi ayewufeza sigwebo sentfukutselo yami, wona lawo lajabulela kungincobela.

⁴ “Lalelani, umsindvo etintsabeni, ufanana nalowentiwa sicumbi sebantfu! Lalelani, sidvumo emkhatsini wemibuso! Unjengetiphitsiphitsi tetive! Simakadze longuSomandla uvivisa emabutfo kutsi aphume ayekulwa imphi.

⁵ Baphuma emaveni lakhashane, lasekugcineni kwemazulu, nguye Simakadze netikhali telulaka lwakhe, utewubhubhisa wonkhe umhlaba.

⁶ “Lilani, ngobe lilanga laSimakadze selisondzele, litawufika liyimbhubhiso levela kuSomandla.

⁷ Ngenca yaloko, tonkhe tandla tiyawujikita, inhlitiyo yabo bonkhe bantfu iphelelwe ngemandla,

⁸ kutfutfumela kubabambe, tinhlungu nekucacamba kubantfonye, bajilajileke njengemfati aphetfwe ngumhelo. Bayawubukana ngekumangala, buso babo buvutse emalangabi.

⁹ Bukani, lilanga laSimakadze liyasondzela, lilanga lelinelulaka, nentfukutselo, nelulaka lolwesabekako; litekwenta live libe lihlane, libuye libhubhise netoni letikulo.

¹⁰ Umtsentse welizulu kanye nato tonkhe tinkhanyeti ngemabutfo ato kungeke kukuvete kukhanya kwako. Lilanga leliphumako litakwentiwa libe mnyama, ngisho nenyanga iyakwehluleka kukhanyisa.

¹¹ “Umhlaba ngiyakuwujezisa ngenca yebubi bawo, ngijezise nalababi ngenca yetono tabo. Ngiyakulicedza ligcabho lalabo labatigcabhako, ngikutfobise kutigcabha kwalabo labanelunya.

¹² Umuntfu ngiyakumenta asweleke kakhulu kunegolide lecengekile, ngimente abe yindlala kunegolide yase-Ofiri, lengatfolakali kalula.

¹³ Ngako-ke emazulu ngiyakuwenta atfutfumele, nemhlaba utanyatanyiswe usuke endzaweni yawo, ngenca yelulaka lwaSimakadze longuSomandla, ngalelo langa lentfukutselo yakhe levutsako.

¹⁴ “Njengenyamatane letingelwako, nanjengetimvu letingenamelusi, ngulowo nalowo uyawubalekela esiveni sakubo, ngulowo nalowo abalekele eveni lakubo.

¹⁵ Lowo loyawutfunjwa uyawugwazwa; bonkhe labayawubanjwa bayawudliwa yinkemba.

¹⁶ Tinswane tabo tiyawuphahlatwa tibe ticucu embikwabo babuka, tindlu tabo tiyawuphangwa, nebafati babo badlwengulwe.

¹⁷ “Bukani la, ngiyawuvusa emaMede kutsi abahlasele, bantfu labangatsengeki ngesiliva nalabangeke balingwe ngegolide.

¹⁸ Ngebutjoki babo lobugobile bayawudubula emajaha, abanamusa ngetinswane, futsi bate nesihawu ngebantfwana.

¹⁹ IBhabhulona ligugu lemibuso, ibuhle beligcabho lemaBhabhulona, Nkulunkulu uyakuyiketula iwe njengeSodoma neGomora.

²⁰ Kungeke kuphindze kuhlale muntfu kuyo, kute loyawuphindze ahlale kuyo titukulwane ngetitukulwane; kute um-Arabu loyawumisa lithende lakhe lapho, kute nemelusi loyawuphumulisa imihlambi yakhe kuyo.

²¹ Kodvwa tilwane tasehlane tiyawulala khona, timphungutja tiyawugcwala etindlini takhona, tikhova tiyawuhlala khona, netimbuti tesiganga tiyawutjakadvula khona.

²² Timphisi tiyawushaya umkhulungwane kuleto tinqaba tayo, kanjalo netimphungutja etigodlweni tayo. Sikhatsi sayo sesisondzele, nemalanga ayo angeke andziswe.”
