Isaiah 5

Ingoma Yesivini

1 Ngizahlabelela lowo engimthandayo ingoma ngesivini sakhe: Othandwa yimi wayelesivini eqaqeni oluvundileyo.

2 Wasigebha, wasusa amatshe kuso wahlanyela kuso amavini amahle. Wakha isilindo esiphezulu phakathi kwaso njalo wagubha lesikhamelo sewayini futhi. Walindela izithelo ezinhle, kodwa amavini athela ezimbi kuphela.

3 “Manje-ke lina abahlala eJerusalema lani madoda akoJuda, ahlulelani phakathi kwami lesivini sami.

4 Kuyini okudlula lapho okwakumele kwenziwe esivinini sami engingakwenzanga kuso na? Lapho ngangilindele izithelo ezinhle kungani sona sathela ezimbi kuphela na?

5 Khathesi-ke sengizalitshela engizakwenza esivinini sami: Ngizasusa uthango lwaso; sizadilizwa. Ngizabhidliza umduli waso, sizagxotshwa ngezinyawo.

6 Ngizasenza sibe liganga kungabikho ukuthenwa kumbe ukuhlakulwa; inkotha lameva kuzakhula kuso. Ngizalaya amayezi anganisi zulu kuso.”

7 Isivini sikaJehova uSomandla yindlu ka-Israyeli; abantu bakoJuda bayinsimu eligugu kuye. Wayelindele okufaneleyo, kodwa wabona ukuchitheka kwegazi; endaweni yokulunga, wezwa ukukhala kosizi.

Izikhalo Lezahlulelo

8 Maye kini elengeza izindlu ngezindlu lihlanganise insimu ensimini kuze kusweleke indawo eseleyo, njalo lihlala lodwa elizweni.

9 UJehova uSomandla usetshilo ngisizwa wathi: “Ngeqiniso izindlu ezinengi zizakuba ngamanxiwa; ezinkulu ezinhle zisale zingaselamuntu ohlala kuzo.

10 Izindima ezilitshumi zesivini zizathela ifashi elilodwa lewayini, ihomeri lenhlanyelo lithele ihefa lamabele.”

11 Maye kulabo abavuka ngovivi ekuseni begijimela ukunatha utshwala; abaqhubekayo kuze kube phakathi kobusuku baze badakwe butshwala.

12 Balamachacho lemihubhe emadilini abo, amagedla, lemihlanga, lewayini kodwa kabazinaki izenzo zikaJehova, akukho nhlonipho yomsebenzi wezandla zakhe.

13 Ngakho-ke abantu bami bazakuya ekuthunjweni ngenxa yokungazwisisi; izikhulu zabo zizabulawa yindlala lenengi labo lizakoma ngomhawu wamanzi.

14 Ngakho indawo yabafileyo izakhulisa ukulangazela kwayo, ikhamise umlomo wayo okungelamkhawulo; izikhulu zabo lenengi labo bawele phakathi labo bonke abaxokozelayo labazithokozisayo.

15 Abantu bazakwehliselwa phansi, abantu bazathobekiswa, amehlo abaziphakamisayo athotshiswe.

16 Kodwa uJehova uSomandla uzaphakanyiswa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okuhle; uNkulunkulu ongcwele uzazibonakalisa engcwele ngokulunga kwakhe.

17 Lapho-ke izimvu zizakudla angathi kusemadlelweni azo, amazinyane adle emanxiweni ezinothi.

18 Maye kulabo abahudula isono ngezintambo zenkohliso lobubi kungathi kungamagoda enqola,

19 kulabo abathi, “UNkulunkulu kaphangise, kaphangisise umsebenzi wakhe ukuze siwubone. Kawusondele, icebo loNgcwele ka-Israyeli kalize ukuze silazi.”

20 Maye kulabo abathi okubi kuhle bathi okuhle kubi, ababeka umnyama esikhundleni sokukhanya; ukukhanya esikhundleni somnyama; ababeka okubabayo esikhundleni sokumnandi, okumnandi esikhundleni sokubabayo.

21 Maye kulabo abahlakaniphileyo emehlweni abo njalo besile ekuboneni kwabo.

22 Maye kulabo abangamaqhawe ekunatheni iwayini njalo bezintshantshu ekuhlanganiseni okunathwayo, 23 abakhulula abalamacala ngenxa yokufunjathiswa. Kodwa banqabele abangelacala imfanelo yabo.

24 Ngakho-ke, njengalokhu umlilo utshisa izinhlanga, utshani obomileyo buphelela phakathi kwamalangabi, ngokunjalo izimpande zabo zizabola. Lamaluba abo aphephuke njengothuli; ngoba bawalile umthetho kaJehova uSomandla balidelela ilizwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

25 Ngakho ulaka lukaJehova luzavutha ebantwini bakhe; isandla sakhe siphakeme njalo uyabatshaya. Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka, izidumbu zabafileyo zinjengezibi ezindleleni. Ikanti kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe kaluphelanga, isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.

26 Uphakamisela izizwe ezikude isiboniso, ubatshayela ikhwelo abasemaphethelweni omhlaba. Nampa besiza ngokuphangisa langejubane!

27 Kakho omunye wabo odinwayo loba okhubekayo, kakho owozelayo kumbe olalayo, akukho bhanti elixegiswayo ekhalweni, akukho ntambo yenyathelo equmekileyo.

28 Imitshoko yabo ibukhali, wonke amadandili abo agotshisiwe; amasondo amabhiza abo afana lelitshe elilukhuni, amavili ezinqola zabo zokulwa anjengesivunguzane.

29 Ukubhonga kwabo kufana lokwesilwane, babhonga njengezilwane ezikhulayo, bayabhavuma lapho bebamba inyamazana edliwayo, babaleke layo kungekho ongabemuka.

30 Ngalolosuku bazabhavumela phezu kwayo njengokubhavuma kolwandle. Njalo uma umuntu ekhangela ilizwe, uzabona umnyama losizi; lokukhanya kuzakwenziwa kube mnyama ngamayezi.
