² Nantsi imbula-mbethe yalo mzekeliso kaIsaya: “Makhe ndivumele intanda yam ingoma yalowo ndimthandayo ngokuphathelele isidiliya sakhe. Intanda yam yaba nesidiliya ngasendulini yeziqhamo. Kwaye yemba kuso yasusa amatye yaza yatyala kuso umdiliya obomvu wohlobo, yakha inqaba phakathi kwaso. Yemba nesixovulelo sewayini kuso. Kwaye yahlala inethemba lokuba uya kuvelisa iidiliya, suka wona wavelisa iidiliya zasendle.”—Isaya 5:1, 2; thelekisa uMarko 12:1.

⁴ Ubil’ izithukuthuku ukwenza isidiliya sibe nemveliso. UIsaya uthi umniniso ‘wemba umhlaba asuse namatye’—msebenzi lowo oyindinisa, noxhaphis’ amagwebu! Kusenokwenzeka ukuba kwakude kufuneke athuthe iimbokotho zamatye ukuze ‘akhe inqaba.’ Mandulo ezi nqaba zazisenzelwa ukuba abalindi baxhwarhe kuzo ukuze babek’ esweni amasela nezilwanyana.a Akugqiba, usibiyela isidiliya ngodonga lwamatye. (Isaya 5:5) Ngokuqhelekileyo injongo yoku yayikukukhusela umhlaba ungakhukuliseki.

 5. Yintoni umnini-sidiliya anesizathu sokuyilindela kuso, kodwa kunoko yintoni ayifumanayo?

⁵ Emva kokusebenz’ agob’ umnqonqo ekhusela isidiliya sakhe, umniniso unesizathu esipheleleyo sokuthi themba mqal’ uza kuginya. Ewulinde ngamehlw’ abomvu loo mhla, uqalisa ukwemba isixovulelo. Kodwa ngaba amathemba akhe okufumana isivuno aye azaliseka? Unotshe, sisuke isidiliya sakhe samvelisela iidiliya zasendle.
