UISAYA 20
Isiprofetho ngeGibithe neKushe
1Ngomnyaka wokufika kukaTharithani eAshidodi, ethunywé nguSarigoni inkosi yaseAsiriya, walwa neAshidodi, walithatha,
2ngalesosikhathi uJehova wakhuluma ngesandla sikaIsaya indodana ka-Amose, wathi: Hamba uthukulule indwangu yamasaka okhalweni lwakho, ukhumule izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho. Wenze njalo, wahamba-ze, akafakanga nazicathulo.
3UJehova wathi: Njengalokhu inceku yami uIsaya isihambe-ze ingafakile nazicathulo iminyaka emithathu, iyisibonakaliso nesimangaliso eGibithe naseKushe,
4kanjalo inkosi yaseAsiriya iyakumukisa abathunjwa baseGibithe nabaxoshiweyo baseKushe, abasha nabadala, behamba-ze, bengafakile nazicathulo, izinqe zabo zihlubuliwe, kube-yihlazo laseGibithe.
5Bayakuphela amandla, babe-namahloni ngeKushe ithemba labo nangeGibithe udumo lwabo.
6Abakhileyo kuleli elingasogwini bayakuthi ngalolosuku: Bheka, linjalo ithemba lethu esabalekela kulo ukuba sisizwe, sophulwe enkosini yaseAsiriya; pho-ke, thina siyakuphunyuka kanjani na?
