Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle. The things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
Bheri rinokotamira pasi, Nebho rinokotama; zvifananidzo zvavo zvinotakurwa nezvipfuwo zvinotakura mutoro. Zvifananidzo zvacho zvinotakurwa zvinorema, mutoro pazvipfuwo zvakaneta.
2 They stoop, they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
Zvinokotama uye zvinokotamira pasi pamwe chete; zvisingagoni kurwira mutoro, izvo pachazvo zvinoenda kuutapwa.
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from their birth, who have been carried from the womb.
“Ndinzwei, imi imba yaJakobho, imi mose vakasara veimba yaIsraeri, imi vandakasimudzira kubvira muchiri mudumbu, uye ndikakutakurai kubvira pakuzvarwa kwenyu.
4 And even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear, yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
Kunyange kusvikira pakuchembera kwenyu, bvudzi rachena, ndini iye, ndini ndichakururamisai. Ndakakuitai uye ndichakutakurai; ndichakuraramisai uye ndichakununurai.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
“Mungandienzanisa naaniko kana kunditi ndakaita saani? Mungandifananidza naaniko wandingaenzaniswa naye?
6 Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down, yea, they worship.
Vamwe vanodurura goridhe kubva muhomwe dzavo, uye vanoyera sirivha pazviyero; vanotsvaka mupfuri kuti avaitire chimwari, vagopfugama kuti vachinamate.
7 They bear it upon the shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands. From its place it shall not remove. Yea, he may cry to it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Vanochisimudzira pamapfudzi avo vagochitakura; vanochigadzika panzvimbo yacho, uye hecho chomira, hachigoni kufamba kuti chibvepo. Kunyange mumwe akadanidzira kwachiri, hachipinduri; hachigoni kumuponesa kubva pamatambudziko ake.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
“Rangarirai chinhu ichi, muchiise mupfungwa dzenyu, muise pamwoyo yenyu, imi vapanduki.
9 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else. I am God, and there is none like me,
Rangarirai zvinhu zvakare, zviya zvekare kare; ndini Mwari, uye hakuna mumwe; ndini Mwari, hakuna akafanana neni.
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure,
Ndinozivisa magumo kubva pakutanga, kubva panguva yekare kare, izvo zvichiri kuuya. Ndinoti: Zvandakaronga zvichaitika, uye ndichaita zvose zvandinoda.
11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed. I will also do it.
Kubva kumabvazuva ndinodana gondo; kubva kunyika iri kure kure ndinodana munhu achazadzisa kuda kwangu. Zvandakareva ndichaita kuti zviitike; zvandakaronga, ndichazviita.
12 Hearken to me, ye stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness:
Nditeererei, imi vane mwoyo yakasindimara, iyemi muri kure nokururama.
13 I bring near my righteousness. It shall not be far off. And my salvation shall not tarry, and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Ndiri kuswededza pedyo kururama kwangu, hakusi kure; uye ruponeso rwangu haruzononotswi. Ndichapa ruponeso kuZioni, nokubwinya kwangu kuna Israeri.
