Isaya 23 | IBhayibheli Elikuyi-Internet | INguqulo Yezwe Elisha23 Isimemezelo seThire:+ Hewulani, nina mikhumbi yaseTharishishi!+ ngoba liphangiwe ukuba lingabe lisaba yisikhumulo, lingabe lisaba yindawo okungenwa kuyo.+ Kwembulwe kubo besezweni laseKitimi.+ 2 Thulani nina abakhileyo ezweni elingasogwini. Abathengisi baseSidoni,+ abawela ulwandle—banigcwalisile. 3 Imbewu yaseShihori+ ibisemanzini amaningi, isivuno saseNayile, inzuzo yalo; yaba yimbuyiselo yezizwe.+ 4 Yiba namahloni Sidoni;+ ngoba ulwandle wena siphephelo sasolwandle, luthe: “Angizange ngisikwe, futhi angizange ngizale, futhi angizange ngikhulise izinsizwa, noma izintombi.”+ 5 Njengalapho kufika umbiko ophathelene neGibhithe,+ kanjalo abantu bayoba sezinhlungwini ezinzima ngombiko ophathelene neThire.+ 6 Welelani eTharishishi; hewulani, nina bakhileyo ezweni elingasogwini. 7 Ingabe yiwo lo umuzi wenu owawuthabile kusukela ezinsukwini zakudala, kusukela ezikhathini zawo zangaphambili? Izinyawo zawo zazivame ukuwuyisa kude ukuba uyogogobala khona. 8 Ngubani okhiphé lesi sinqumo+ ngeThire, lona elethwesa imiqhele, elibathengisi balo babeyizikhulu, elibahwebi balo babengabanodumo emhlabeni?+ 9 NguJehova wamabutho ngokwakhe okhiphé lesi sinqumo,+ ukuze kungcoliswe ukuziqhenya kwabo bonke ubuhle,+ ukuze baphathwe ngendelelo bonke abanodumo basemhlabeni.+ 10 Dabula izwe lakini njengoMfula iNayile ndodakazi yaseTharishishi.+ Alisekho igceke lemikhumbi.+ 11 Welulele isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle; ubangele imibuso ukuba iyaluze.+ UJehova ngokwakhe ukhiphe umyalo ngeFenike, ukuba kubhuqwe iziphephelo zalo.+ 12 Futhi uthi: “Ungaphinde wethabe,+ wena ocindezelweyo, ndodakazi eyintombi yaseSidoni.+ Sukuma, welela eKitimi.+ Ngisho nalapho ngeke ube nakuphumula.” 13 Bheka! Izwe lamaKhaledi.+ Lesi isizwe—i-Asiriya+ alibanga yiso—esalisekela ukuba libe elezinzinga-zingwadule.+ Simisé imibhoshongo yaso yokuvimbezela;+ siphundlé imibhoshongo yalo yokuhlala;+ umuntu ulenzé laba yincithakalo ebhidlikayo.+ 14 Hewulani, nina mikhumbi yaseTharishishi, ngoba isiphephelo senu siphangiwe.+ 15 Kuyothi ngalolo suku iThire lilitshalwe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa,+ njengezinsuku zenkosi eyodwa. Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa iThire liyokwehlelwa okunjengokushiwo engomeni yesifebe: 16 “Thatha ihabhu, zungeza umuzi sifebe esilitshelwe.+ Yenza okusemandleni akho ekubetheni izintambo; yandisa izingoma zakho, ukuze ukhunjulwe.” 17 Kuyothi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa uJehova alinake iThire, futhi liyobuyela enkokhelweni yalo yokuqashwa+ lifebe nayo yonke imibuso yomhlaba esebusweni bomhlaba.+ 18 Futhi imbuyiselo yalo nenkokhelo yokuqashwa kwalo+ kuyoba yinto engcwele kuJehova. Ngeke ibekelelwe, noma iqongelelwe, ngoba inkokhelo yokuqashwa kwalo iyoba ngeyalabo abahlala phambi kukaJehova,+ ukuba badle baneliseke futhi bazembathise ngokuhle.+
