Isaiah 2

Intaba kaJehova

1 Lokhu yikho okwabonwa ngu-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi mayelana loJuda leJerusalema:

2 Ngezinsuku zokucina intaba yethempeli likaJehova izakuba ngelodumo phakathi kwezintaba; izaphakanyiselwa phezu kwamaqaqa njalo izizwe zonke zizabekelela zisiya kuyo.

3 Abantu abanengi bazakuza bathi, “Wozani siye phezu kwentaba kaJehova, endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe. Uzasifundisa izindlela zakhe ukuze sihambe ezindleleni zakhe.” Umthetho uzavela eZiyoni, ilizwi likaJehova livele eJerusalema.

4 Uzakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe, alamule izingxabano zabantu abanengi. Bazakhanda izinkemba zabo zibe yimihlathi yamakhuba kuthi imikhonto yabo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla. Isizwe asiyikuhlomela isizwe ngezinkemba loba sifundele ukulwa izimpi futhi.

5 Woza bo ndlu kaJakhobe, kasihambe ekukhanyeni kukaJehova.

Usuku lukaJehova

6 Usubalahlile abantu bakho, indlu kaJakhobe. Bagcwele ukholo oluyize lwaseMpumalanga benza lemisebenzi yobungoma njengamaFilisti, njalo babambana izandla labangakholwayo.

7 Ilizwe labo ligcwele isiliva legolide; inotho yabo ayilakuphela. Ilizwe labo ligcwele amabhiza; izinqola zabo zempi kazipheli.

8 Ilizwe labo ligcwele izithombe; bakhothamela umsebenzi wezandla zabo, lakulokho okwenziwa yiminwe yabo.

9 Ngakho umuntu uzakwehliselwa phansi. Uluntu luzathobekiswa – ungabathetheleli.

10 Ngenani ezimbalwini zamatshe lasemhlabathini, licatshele ukwesabeka kukaJehova lenkazimulo yobukhosi bakhe!

11 Amehlo omuntu oziphakamisayo azathobekiswa lokuzazisa kwabantu kwehliselwe phansi; uJehova kuphela nguye ozaphakanyiswa ngalolosuku.

12 UJehova uSomandla ulosuku alubekele bonke abazazigqaja labazikhukhumezayo; olwakho konke okuphakemeyo (bazathobekiswa),

13 olwazo zonke izihlahla zemisedari zaseLebhanoni ezinde leziphakemeyo, lazo zonke izihlahla zama-okhi zaseBhashani,

14 olwazo zonke izintaba ezindekazi lamaqaqa wonke aphakemeyo,

15 olwayo yonke imiphotshongo ephakemeyo layo yonke imiduli eyinqaba,

16 olwemikhumbi yonke yaseThashishi layo yonke imikolo emihle.

17 Ukuziphakamisa kwabantu kuzakwehliselwa phansi, ukuzazisa kwabantu kuthobekiswe; uJehova kuphela nguye ozadunyiswa ngalolosuku,

18 izithombe zizanyamalala zithi nya.

19 Abantu bazabalekela ezimbalwini zamatshe lasemilindini emhlabathini bebalekela ukwesabeka kukaJehova lenkazimulo yobukhosi bakhe lapho ephakama ukuba anyikinye umhlaba.

20 Ngalolosuku abantu bazazilahlela ezimvukuzaneni lakubolulwane izithombe zabo zesiliva lezegolide abazenzela ukuba bazikhonze.

21 Bazabalekela ezimbalwini zamatshe lasezingoxweni zamawa bebalekela ukwesabeka kukaJehova lenkazimulo yobukhosi bakhe lapho ephakama ukuba anyikinye umhlaba.

22 Yekelani ukwethemba umuntu olomphefumulo nje kuphela emakhaleni akhe. Ngoba uyini yena na?
