U-Isaya 15

Isiphrofethi NgeMowabi

1Isiqalekiso esimayelana leMowabi:

I-Ari eMowabi itshabalalisiwe,

idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.

IKhiri eMowabi itshabalalisiwe;

idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.

2IDibhoni iya phezulu ethempelini layo;

ezindaweni zayo eziphakemeyo ukuyalila;

iMowabi ililela iNebho leMedebha.

Amakhanda wonke aphuciwe;

indevu zonke zigeliwe.

3Ezindleleni bagqoka amasaka,

phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu lasezindaweni zabantu bonke,

bayalila bonke,

baphele amandla ngokulila.

4IHeshibhoni le-Eliyale kuyakhala,

amazwi akho azwakala laseJahazi.

Ngakho-ke amabutho aseMowabi ayakhala,

inhliziyo zawo zidangele.

5Inhliziyo yami ikhalela iMowabi,

ababalekayo bayo babaleka baze bayefika kude eZowari;

kude njengase-Egilathi Shelishiya.

Bahamba ngendlela eya eLuhithi,

bakhala ohanjweni lwabo;

endleleni eya eHoronayimi

balilela ukubhujiswa kwabo.

6Amanzi aseNimirimi acitshile,

utshani bubunile,

uhlaza kalusekho,

akukho lutho oluluhlaza oluseleyo.

7Ngakho inotho abayizuzileyo bayigcina,

bayithwalela ngaphetsheya kweSifula semiDubu.

8Ukuklabalala kwabo kuzwakele emngceleni waseMowabi,

ukukhala kwabo kufika kude e-Egilayimi,

ukulila kwabo kufika eBheri-Elimi.

9Amanzi aseDimoni agcwele igazi

kodwa ngizajinge ngilethe okunengi phezu kweDimoni,

isilwane phezu kwababalekayo baseMowabi,

lakulabo abazasala elizweni.
