Iindaba zovuyo

1“Thuthuzelani, bathuthuzeleni abantu bam,”

utsho kaloku uThixo wenu.

2“Thethani kakuhle neJerusalem;

dandulukani niyixelele ukuba umzabalazo wayo ufezekile.

Kaloku izono zayo zixolelwe;

*uNdikhoyo uyibonelele ngaphezu kunobugwenxa bayo.”

3Nâlo ilizwi lidanduluka lisithi:

“UNdikhoyo mhlahleleni indlela entlango;

uThixo wethu mgeceleni uhola kwelibharhileyo.

4Zonke izigingqi mazidityelelwe,

iintaba neenduli zidilizwe zibe ngamathafa,

ke zona izixhobo zigqalwe zibe ziintili,

amageduka aletyelwe abe zizithabazi.

5Ke ubungangamsha bukaNdikhoyo buya kutyhileka,

lonke uluntu lububone.

Kaloku lowo ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.”

UISAYA 40:1-5XHO96Vula kumfundi weBhayibhile

In the parched and dusty desert, Isaiah is given a message to tell the people to make straight their path.

They are asked to make a highway for God.

A highway! Anybody who has been in desert conditions knows that it is difficult to know where you are going because the sand keeps moving. God in this passage is comforting the people to build and make clear God’s path. We are called to pave the way and show our people God’s word that will help them to get through the shifting sands of life.
