    • 12, 13. (a) Kutheni sinokuthenjwa nje isithembiso sokubuyiselwa? (b) Ziziphi iindaba ezimnandi eziphathelele amaYuda asekuthinjweni, yaye kutheni efanele abe nentembelo kuzo?

      12 UIsaya uchaza isizathu sesibini sokuba isithembiso sokubuyiselwa sinokuthenjwa. Lowo wenza esi sithembiso nguThixo owomeleleyo obathantamisayo abantu bakhe. UIsaya uhlabela mgama esithi: “Nyuka uye entabeni ephakamileyo, wena mfazi uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo ngeZiyon. Liphakamise ngamandla ilizwi lakho, wena mfazi uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo ngeYerusalem. Liphakamise. Ungoyiki. Yithi kwizixeko zakwaYuda: ‘Nanku uThixo wethu.’ Khangela! INkosi enguMongami uYehova iya kuza kanye njengowomeleleyo [“ngamandla,” umbhalo osemazantsi we-NW eneembekiselo], yaye ingalo yayo iya kulawula. Khangela! Umvuzo wayo unayo, nentlawulo eyihlawulayo iphambi kwayo. Njengomalusi iya kuwalusa umhlambi wayo. Ngengalo yayo iya kuqokelela ndawonye amatakane; iya kuwathwala ngesifuba sayo. Ezo zanyisayo iya kuzikhaphela ngenyameko.”—Isaya 40:9-11.

      13 Ngamaxesha okubhalwa kweBhayibhile kwakusisithethe sabafazi ukubhiyozela uloyiso, bayiyizele okanye bacule bevakalisa iindaba ezimnandi zoloyiso olo okanye inkululeko oluyizisayo. (1 Samuweli 18:6, 7; INdumiso 68:11) Esiprofetweni sakhe uIsaya uvakalisa iindaba ezimnandi eziphathelele amaYuda asekuthinjweni, ndaba ezo ezinokubhengezwa ngenkalipho, kwanasezincotsheni zeentaba—ezokuba uYehova uza kubakhokela abantu bakhe ababuyisele kwiYerusalem yabo yegugu! Banokuba nentembelo kuzo, kuba uYehova uya kuza “ngamandla.” Ngoko, akukho nto inokumthintela ekuzalisekiseni isithembiso sakhe.

    • 15. (a) Weza nini uYehova “ngamandla,” yaye ngubani ‘oyingalo yakhe elawulayo’? (b) Ziziphi iindaba ezimnandi ezimele zivakaliswe ngenkalipho?

      15 La mazwi kaIsaya esiprofeto anentsingiselo enkulu nakumhla wethu. Ngowe-1914, uYehova weza “ngamandla” waza wamisela uBukumkani bakhe emazulwini. ‘Ingalo yakhe elawulayo’ nguNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu, lowo uYehova ambeke kwitrone yasezulwini. Ngowe-1919, uYehova wabakhulula abakhonzi bakhe abathanjisiweyo abasemhlabeni kubukhoboka beBhabhiloni Enkulu waza waqalisa ukulubuyisela ngokupheleleyo unqulo olunyulu loThixo ophilayo nowokwenyaniso. Ezi ziindaba ezimnandi ezimele zivakaliswe ngenkalipho, ngokungathi zibhengezwa ezincotsheni zeentaba ukuze zisasazeke ngokubanzi. Ngoko, masiwaphakamise amazwi ethu size sibazise ngenkalipho abanye ukuba uYehova uThixo ulubuyisele unqulo olunyulu kulo mhlaba!
