UIsaya 5 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

5 ¹Mandiyivumele intanda yam ingoma yesithandwa sam ngesidiliya saso. Isithandwa sam sasinesidiliya elungileyo elityebileyo ecaleni lentaba. ²Wasigqula wasikhupha amatye waza watyala ngemidiliya enconywayo. Wakha inqaba yokulinda phakathi kwaso, kananjalo wemba isixovulelo kuso. Walinda ke ukuba sivelise iidiliya ezilungileyo, kodwa savelisa ezasendle kuphela.

³“Ke ngoku, nina bahleli eYerusalem nani bantu bakwaYuda, gwebani phakathi kwam nesidiliya sam. ⁴Yintoni na ebe iseyokwenziwa esidiliyeni sam endingayenzanga kuso? Yini na, xa bendilinde ukuba sivelise iidiliya ezilungileyo, savelisa ezasendle kuphela? ⁵Ke ngoku mandinixelele endiza kukwenza esidiliyeni sam: ndoluphangula ucingo lwaso, size sibe ngasokudliwa; ndoludiliza udonga lwaso, size sibe ngasokunyathelwa. ⁶Ndosenza inkangala; asiyi kuthenwa singahlakulwa, kuntshule iingcongolo nameva kuso. Kananjalo ndowawisela umthetho amafu ukuba anganisi mvula phezu kwaso.”

⁷Kuba isidiliya sikaBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini yindlu kaSirayeli, baye abantu bakwaYuda besisityalo sakhe esithandekayo. Wafuna ukugweba okusesikweni, kodwa wafumana kuphela ukuphalazwa kwegazi; wafuna ubulungisa, kodwa weva kuphela isikhalo. ^a a v7 Umzekeliso wesidiliya utyhila intliziyo kaBawo wethu — amaSirayeli asingomsebenzi wakhe kodwa asisityalo sakhe esithandekayo, ize intlungu egcwalise esi sahluko ibe yintlungu kaBawo othando lwakhe lugculelwe.

Yeha Abalamba Umhlaba

⁸Yeha abo badibanisa indlu nendlu, banamathelise intsimi nentsimi, kude kungabikho ndawo iseleyo, nihlale nodwa phakathi kwelizwe.

⁹Ndaweva ngeendlebe zam uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini efunga esithi: “Inene, izindlu ezininzi ziya kuba senkangala, ezinkulu nezihle zisale zingenamntu wokuhlala kuzo.

¹⁰Kuba amathafa alishumi esidiliya aya kuvelisa iibhate ezintandathu zewayini kuphela, neengobozi ezilishumi zembewu ziya kuvelisa ingobozi enye yengqolowa kuphela.”

¹¹Yeha abo bavuka ekuseni kwakusasa ukuba basukele isiselo esinxilisayo, abalibala kude kuhlwe de bavuthwe yiwayini. ¹²Emithendelekweni yabo kukho uhadi nomrhubhe, ingqongqo nogwali newayini, kodwa abayikhathalele imisebenzi kaBawo wethu, bengawuboni nomsebenzi wezandla zakhe. ¹³Ngenxa yoko abantu bam baya ekuthinjweni ngenxa yokuswela ukwazi; amadoda abo ahlonelweyo alambile, noluntu oluqhelekileyo lutshe linxano. ¹⁴Ngenxa yoko ingcwaba liyandise ukulamba kwalo, lawuvula umlomo walo ngokubanzi; bahle ke ubuhle baso nezihlwele zaso, nentlokoma yaso nabo bonke abagcobayo kuso. ¹⁵Ngoko umntu uyathotywa, elowo wehliselwa phantsi, namehlo anekratshi abanekratshi athotywa. ¹⁶Kodwa uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini uphakanyiswa ngokugweba okusesikweni, aze uBawo wethu ongcwele azibonakalise engcwele ngobulungisa. ¹⁷Oko amatakane aya kudla njengasemadlelweni awo, baze abasemzini badle phakathi kwamanxuwa ezityebi.

¹⁸Yeha kwabo bakrwiqilizela ububi babo ngemitya yobuxoki, nesono ngokungathi ngezintya zenqwelo, ¹⁹abathi: “Makakhawuleze; makawukhawulezise umsebenzi wakhe, ukuze sibone lona. Malisondele lize icebo loNgcwele kaSirayeli, ukuze silazi.” ^b b v19 ULowo uyiNgcwele kaSirayeli ligama elikhethekileyo uIsaya abhekisa ngalo kuBawo wethu — elivela ngaphezu kwamashumi amabini anesihlanu amaxesha kubo bonke obu buprofeto. Nkqu nasemlonyeni wabagculeli, eli gama libiza Lowo uzibophelele ebantwini angavumiyo ukubalahla.

²⁰Yeha kwabo bathi okubi kuhle, baze bathi okuhle kubi, abathi ubumnyama bukukukhanya, baze bathi ukukhanya bubumnyama, abathi okukrakra kumnandi, baze bathi okumnandi kuyakrakra. ²¹Yeha kwabo bazizilumko emehlweni abo nabakrelekrele ngokubona kwabo. ²²Yeha kwabo bangamagorha ekuseleni iwayini neengwazi ekuxubeni isiselo esinxilisayo, ²³abamgwebela onetyala ngenxa yesicengo, baze bawahluthe amalungelo omsulwa.

²⁴Ngako oko, njengokuba ulwimi lomlilo lusidla iindiza, notyani obomileyo butsha elangatyeni, ngokunjalo iingcambu zabo ziya kubola, nentyantyambo yabo inyuka njengothuli; kuba bawucekisile umyalelo kaBawo wethu wemikhosi, baza balidelela ilizwi loNgcwele kaSirayeli. ²⁵Ngako oko umsindo kaBawo wethu wavutha kubantu bakhe, waza wolula isandla sakhe kubo, wababetha. Zazamazama iintaba, zalala izidumbu zabo njengenkunkuma ezitratweni. Nangako konke oku umsindo wakhe awubuyanga, sisolulekile isandla sakhe.

²⁶Uya kumisa umqondiso ezizweni ezikude, abameme ngomlozi beze bevela eziphelweni zomhlaba, beze bafike ngokukhawuleza, ngobungxamo. ²⁷Akukho namnye kubo odiniweyo nokhubekayo, akukho ozela nolalayo; akukho mbhinqo ukhululwe esinqeni, akukho mtya wembadada uqhawukileyo. ²⁸Iintolo zabo ziloliwe, nezaphetha zabo zonke zigotyiwe; amanqina amahashe abo akhangeleka njengeqhwitha, neevili zabo zinjengomoya ovuthuzayo. ²⁹Ukugquma kwabo kunjengokwengonyama; babharhula njengamathole eengonyama. Bayavungama, babambe okuqwengiweyo, bathwale bemke nako, kungekho namnye wokuhlangula amaxhoba. ³⁰Ngaloo mini baya kukugqumela njengokugquma kolwandle. Uthi ubani akukhangela ehlabathini, akukho nto ingengabumnyama nembandezelo; nkqu nokukhanya kumnyama ngamafu alo.
