U-Isaya 14
Ukuwa kweNkosi yaseBhabhiloni
1Ngokuba uJehova uyakuhawukela uJakobe, abuye amkhethe u-Israyeli, abahlalise ezweni labo; abafokazi bayakuhlangana nabo, banamathele endlini kaJakobe.
2Abantu bayakubathatha, babayise endaweni yabo; indlu ka-Israyeli iyakubadla ezweni likaJehova njengezinceku nezincekukazi; futhi bayobusa phezu kwabacindezeli babo.
3Kuyakuthi ngosuku uJehova aniphumuze ngalo osizini lwakho, nasekwesabeni kwakho, nasebugqileni obunzima obukhonzwe ngabo,
4niphakamise lesi saga ngenkosi yaseBabele nithi: ‘Yeka ukuthi uphelile kanjani umcindezeli! umuzi wegolide umile!
5UJehova uyaphule intonga yababi kanye nentonga yobukhosi yababusi.
6Owashaya abantu ngokuthukuthela ngokushaywa njalo, owabusa izizwe ngolaka, uyazingelwa, akavinjwa muntu.
7Umhlaba wonke uyaphumula, uthule; baqhume bejabula.
8Yebo, imisayipuresi iyajabula ngawe, nemisedari yaseLebanoni, ithi: ‘Selokhu walalisa phansi, akakho umgundi okhuphukele kithi.
9Isihogo esingaphansi silungiselelwe wena ukuba sikuhlangabeze ekufikeni kwakho; kwabangela ukuba wonke amakhosi ezizwe aphakame ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi.
10Bazakhuluma bonke, bathi kuwe: Lawe usubuthakathaka njengathi yini? usufana nathi?
11Ubukhazikhazi bakho behlele eHayidesi, nomsindo wezingubhu zakho;
12Wawa kanjani ezulwini, wena Lusifa, ndodana yokusa! unqunyulwe phansi kanjani, wena othuya izizwe!
13Ngoba wena wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngithanda ukukhuphukela ezulwini, ngizaphakamisa isihlalo sami sobukhosi phezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngiyakuhlala entabeni yokuhlangana, emagumbini akude asenyakatho.
14Ngiyakwenyukela ngaphezu kweziqongo zamafu; ngizofana noPhezukonke.
15Nokho uyakwehliselwa endaweni yabafileyo, ekugcineni komgodi.
16Abakubonayo bayakukubheka, bakubuke, bathi: ‘Nguye lo muntu owazamazamisa umhlaba, owenza imibuso ithuthumele na?
17owenza izwe libe njengehlane wachitha imizi yalo; ongayivulanga indlu yeziboshwa zakhe?
18Wonke amakhosi ezizwe, wonke alele enkazimulweni, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe.
19Kepha wena ulahliwe ethuneni lakho njengehlumela elinengekayo, nanjengezingubo zababulewe, abagwazwe ngenkemba, behlela ematsheni omgodi; inyathelwe phansi njengesidumbu.
20Awunakuhlanganiswa nabo ekumbelweni, ngokuba uchithile izwe lakho, wabulala abantu bakho; inzalo yabenzi bokubi ayisoze yaziwe.
21Lungiselelani abantwana bakhe ukuhlaba ngenxa yobubi bawoyise; funa bavuke badle izwe, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngemizi.
22Ngokuba ngiyakubavukela, usho uJehova Sebawoti, nginqume eBabele igama, nensali, nendodana, nomshana, isho iNkosi.
23Ngiyakuyenza ibe yifa lamagxolo ababayo namachibi amanzi; futhi ngokuqinisekile ngiyolishanela kanye nesilo esibhubhisayo,” kusho uJehova Sebawoti.
24UJehova Sebawoti wafunga wathi: “Impela njengokucabanga kwami kuyakuba njalo; njengalokho ngihlosile, kuyakuma kanjalo;
25ukuthi ngiyakwephula umAsiriya ezweni lami, ngimnyathele ezintabeni zami; khona ijoka lakhe liyakumuka kubo, nomthwalo wakhe emahlombe abo.
26Lesi yisinqumo esinqunyiwe emhlabeni wonke; yilesi isandla eselulelwe phezu kwezizwe zonke.
27Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti ukuhlosile, ngubani oyakuchitha na? nesandla sakhe seluliwe, ngubani ongasibuyisela emuva?
28Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u-Ahazi kwaba lomthwalo.
29Ungathokozi, Phalestina lonke, ngokuba udondolo lwalowo owakushaya lwaphukile; ngokuba empandeni yenyoka kuyakuphuma isihlahla seqhude, nesithelo saso sibe yinyoka evuthayo endizayo.
30Amazibulo abampofu ayakudla, nabampofu bayakulala belondekile; ngiyakubulala impande yakho ngendlala, abulale insali yakho.
31Hewula wena sango! biza, muzi! wena, lonke iPhalestine, ubhubhile, ngoba kuyovela umusi uvela enyakatho, futhi akekho oyoba yedwa ngezikhathi zakhe ezimisiwe.
32Khona-ke izithunywa zesizwe ziyoziphendula zithini? Ukuthi uJehova umisile iSiyoni, futhi abampofu babantu bakhe bayothembela kulo.
