1 Ndoleba lebeswa muna Khrisitu, anditonyepa, hana yangu inobvumilana nami muMeya Yakayengemala, 2 ndinabuyendasi gukulu newha zogwadza kusingapele mumoyo wangu. 3 Ngobe ndandingayemula kuti kadzene imi tjekwangu ndibe nebhiso kakale ndakathubukanyiwa naKhirisitu kuyetigwa ibabo bandina bukamu nabo gwenyama, ibabo beludzi gwangu. 4 Ibo banhu bekuIsirayeli, tjabo igudzo, nezwibvumilano, newamutjila nlayo, nenamata, nekugadziwabgwe neba bakololo. 5 Bobatategulugulu babo ndigo ludzi gunozwagwa Khirisitu ngekwenyama. Ndzimu upehhugwi kwayiko kose ngaalumbidziwe tjoselele! Ngekusingapele.

6 Akuta kuli kuti dama leNdzimu lakalakon'wa. Akutayibo bose beludzi gwaIsirayeli maIsirayeli. 7 Kakale akutobva kuti bana ba Abhurahhamu, ngobe bali beludzi gwa Abhurahhamu. Koga Ndzimu wakati, "Bana babo ndebanowhozwagwa na Isaka." 8 Nedzimwe zila, akuta bana ngekwenyama banoyi bana beNdzimu, koga ibana betjigadzabgwe banoyi ludzi. 9 Ngobe tjigadzabgwe tjakalebgwa sawhoku, "Mulubaka igogu ndowhohanduka, Sara unowhoba nenkololo."

10 Kusi ikoku koga, nebana baRibheka bakabezwagwa natate ban'ompela, tate bedu Isaka. 11 Bana besanhu bazwagwa kene basanhu bathama tjinhu tjakanaka kene tjakayipa, kuyetila kuti n'hingo weNdzimu wehalula uyendilembeli, kusi ngezwiyeto koga kuli ngekuhalula kukwe, 12 wakabudziwa kuyi, "Whola unowhohingila ntjetjana." 13 Sekwakwaka kwagwa kuyi, "Jakobe ndakawundha, Isawu ndakawumbenga."

14 Towhotini ngono? Ndzimu una salulama? Aa akuzojalo! 15 Ngobe wakati kuna Mozisi, "Ndowhoba nemawhilangoni kuna wandinowhila ngoni, kakale ndowhoba nebuyendasi kuna iwhoyo wandinoda ba nebuyendasi kuwunli." 16 Ndizo akutobva mukuyemula kene mumatatabuko enhu, koga kobva muba nengoni kweNdzimu. 17 Ngobe lukwalo goti kuna Faro, "Ndakakumilidza, ndikumilidzila kulakidza simba langu mukuli, kuyetila kuti zina langu likudziwe hango yose." 18 Ndizo Ndzimu unoba nemawhilangoni kuna iwhoyo waanoda whila ngoni, kakale unota akaba nkukutu iwhoyo waanoda kuti abe nkukutu.

19 Umwe wenyu unowhoti kundili, "Ngentha yeni Ndzimu etjatiwana nlandu? Ngobe ndiyani ungagwisana neludo gugwe?" 20 Iwe nhu! ndiwe yani, ungadza ukahandudzana neNdzimu? Tjakabumbiwa tjingati kumbumbi watjo, "Wakandibumbilani ujali kene?" 21 Mbumbi wehali haana masimba pehhugwi kwentapwe iwo zwawo webumba zwidla zwelayidza bunyambi zwinohinga hapa kuna mihingo ipehhugwi nezwinohingisiwa misi yose?

22 Kungayin'wi, hapa Ndzimu akada layidza buhongola gugwe nekuti simba lile lizibgwe, koga akaba nemoyonlefu kuna ibabo baakagwadziligwa, bakayetigwa kuti bapaladziwe? 23 Kungayin'wi hapa akakuthama ikoku etila kuti bukulu gwegudzo lile guzibgwe nayibabo baanamawhilangoni kubali, ibo baakagala athama ebathamila gudzo, 24 kene iswibo, baakadana, kusi kumaJuta boga, koga kose nekuBataya? 25 Sekwaanoleba mulukwalo gwaWhosiya, eti,

"Baka basi banhu bangu

ndowhobadana nditi ‘Banhu bangu.’

Newaka esingadiwe

ndowundhana nditi ‘Ndhikani wangu.’ "

26 "Kakale muna igogo bugalo kwakakwayi ‘Amutabanhu bangu,’

ibabo banhu banowhodan'wa beyi ‘Bakololo beNdzimu mpenyu.’ "

27 Isaya unolila kwazo ngekwaIsirayeli. "Kene zwako bunjinji gwemaIsirayeli gunga gwensetje wegungwa, ibabo bahomanana bakasala ndibo boga banowhotjidziwa. 28 Ngobe He unowhohinga, nekulibilidza kakale nebuhhalo, n'hingo uwe wetonga hango." 29 Konga sekwakalebgwa na Isaya hule eti, "Kadzene He wemasimba asakatisiyila ibabo bahomanana batjakabhatilila kuwunli, toba takaba seSodoma, kakale toba takayetiwa seGomora."

30 Towhotini ngono? Bataya bakaba besingahakisise ndulamo, batjiyiwamutjila ndulamo ngekugalamoyo; 31 koga Isirayeli iye waka ehakisisa ndulamo ngenlayo, haazobhudilila mukuhhadzisa nlayo iwhoyo. 32 Ngentha yeni? Ngobe abazoyihakisisa ngekugalamoyo, koga bakabe beyihakisisa ngemihingo. Bakakunhiwa nebgwe linokunha. 33 Sekwakwaka kwagwa kuyi.

"Bonani, ndobiga muZiyoni bgwe

linowhokunha banhu,

hongwe inowhobaliga,

iye unogalamoyo muwunli atowhobhatisiwa honi."
