UIsaya 48 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

48 ¹Phulaphulani oku, ndlu kaYakobi, nina nibizwa ngegama likaSirayeli, nivela emfuleni wakwaYuda; nina nifunga igama likaBawo wethu, ninqula uBawo wethu—kodwa kungekho nyaniso nabulungisa. ²Kuba bathi bangabantu bomzi ongcwele, bexhomekeka kuBawo wethu—uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ligama lakhe.

³“Ndazixela kudala izinto zangaphambili; zaphuma emlonyeni wam, ndazibhengeza. Ndaza ndenza ngebhaqo, zaza zafezeka. ⁴Ngokuba ndandisazi ukuba nineenkani kangakanani—intamo yenu ilukhuni njengesinyithi, ibunzi lenu lilukhuni njengobhedu.’ ⁵Ndanixelela ezi zinto kudala; ngaphambi kokuba zenzeke ndanibhengezela zona, ukuze ningathi, ‘Isithixo sam sizenzile; ngumfanekiso wam oqingqiweyo nomfanekiso wam otyhidiweyo ozimiseleyo.” ⁶Nikuvile; ngoku kukhangeleni konke. Aniyi kuvuma na? Ukususela ngoku ndiya kunixelela izinto ezintsha, izinto ezifihlakeleyo eningazange nazi.’ ⁷Zidalwa ngoku, kungekho kudala; ngaphambi kwanamhlanje naningazange nive, ukuze ningathi, ‘Ndandizazi kudala.’ ⁸Anizange nive, anizange nazi; kudala indlebe yakho yayingavulwanga. Kuba ndandisazi ukuba niya kwenza ngenkohliso— ubizwa ngokuba ulutshaba kwasekuzalweni kwakho. ⁹Ngenxa yegama lam ndiwubambezela umsindo wam; ngenxa yendumiso yam ndiwunqanda kuwe, ukuze ndingakunqumli. ¹⁰Khangela, ndikunyibilikisile, kodwa kungenjengesilivere; ndikucikidile eziko leentsizi. ¹¹Ngenxa yam, ngenxa yam, ndenza—kuba kutheni na ukuba igama lam lingcoliswe? Uzuko lwam andiyi kulunika omnye.

Ndingowokuqala Nowokugqibela

¹²“Phulaphula kum, Yakobi, nawe Sirayeli, endakubizayo: Ndim lowo; ndingowokuqala, ndingowokugqibela. ¹³Isandla sam ngokwaso saseka iziseko zehlabathi, nesandla sam sokunene sawatwabulula amazulu; xa ndiwabiza, ema ndawonye onke.”

¹⁴Hlanganisanani, nonke, niphulaphule: ngubani phakathi kwabo oxele ezi zinto? Lowo ndimthandayo uya kuyenza ingqibo yam ngakwiBhabhilon, nengalo yakhe iya kuba ngakumaBhabhilon. ^a a v14 “Lowo ndimthandayo” ubhekisa kuKoreshi, ukumkani wasePersi uThixo awayemvusa ukuba oyise iBhabhilon aze amkhulule uSirayeli.

¹⁵Mna, ndim ngokwam, othethileyo; ewe, ndimbizile. Ndimzisile, uya kuphumelela endleleni yakhe.

¹⁶Sondelani kum, khanive oku: ukususela ekuqaleni andithethanga emfihlekweni; ukususela ngexesha lokuba kwenzeke oku, ndandikho. Ngoku ke iNkosi enguBawo indithumile— noMoya wayo. ^b b v16 Abaninzi beva uYesu ethetha kulo mgca — uMkhonzi uBawo wethu asele eza kumtyhila kwizahluko ezilandelayo, othunywe enoMoya oyiNgcwele ecaleni kwakhe.

¹⁷Utsho uBawo wethu—uMkhululi wakho, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli: Ndim uBawo wakho, okufundisa ukuze kulunge, okukhokela endleleni omelwe uhambe ngayo. ¹⁸“Akwaba ube uyiphulaphule imithetho yam! Uxolo lwakho lunge lumpompoza njengomlambo, nobulungisa bakho bunjengamaza olwandle. ¹⁹Abantwana bakho ngebaba njengentlabathi, nenzala yakho ibe njengamasuntswana ayo; igama labo belingenakunqanyulwa okanye litshatyalaliswe phambi kwam.”

²⁰Phumani eBhabhilon! Sabani kumaKaledi! Ngesandi sovuyo kuvakaliseni oku, nibhengeze oku; nikuthumele kuse ekupheleni kwehlabathi. Yithini: ‘uBawo wethu wamkhulula ngentlawulelo umkhonzi wakhe uYakobi!’ ²¹Ababanga nenxano xa wayebakhokela entlango; wabampompozela amanzi eliweni. Walicanda iliwa, aza amanzi atsaza.

²²“Akukho xolo,” utsho uBawo wethu, “kwabangendawo.”
