Esias 54
1 Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,
“Imba, iwe mukadzi asina mwana, iwe usina kumbobereka mwana pururudza uimbe rwiyo, pembera nomufaro, iwe usina kumborwadziwa; nokuti vana vomukadzi akasiyiwa ari oga vazhinji kupfuura veane murume,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;
Wedzera nzvimbo yetende rako, tambanudza micheka yetende rako ifare, usarega kuita izvozvo; rebesa tambo dzako, simbisa mbambo dzako.
3 spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Nokuti uchapararira kurudyi nokuruboshwe; vana vako vachatorera dzimwe ndudzi uye vachagara mumatongo amaguta avo.
4 Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.
“Usatya hako: haunganyadziswi. Usatya kunyadziswa; haunganinipiswi. Uchakanganwa nyadzi dzapaudiki hwako, uye hauzorangaririzve kunyadzisa kwouchirikadzi hwako.
5 For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.
Nokuti Muiti wako ndiye murume wako, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake, Mutsvene waIsraeri ndiye Mudzikinuri wako; anonzi Mwari wenyika yose.
6 The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.
Jehovha achakudanazve sokunge wanga uri mukadzi akasiyiwa, uye anotambudzika pamweya, mukadzi akawanikwa achiri mudiki, pedzezvo ndokurambwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wako.
7 For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
“Kwechinguvana ndakakusiya, asi netsitsi huru ndikakudzosazve.
8 In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
Ndichisundwa nehasha ndakavanza chiso changu kwauri kwechinguva, asi nounyoro husingaperi ndichava netsitsi, pamusoro pako,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mudzikinuri wako.
9 From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,
“Kwandiri izvi zvakafanana namazuva aNoa, pandakapika kuti mvura zhinji yaNoa haizofukidzizve nyika. Naizvozvo zvino ndapika kuti ndirege kukutsamwira, kana kukutukazve.
10 shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].
Kunyange makomo akazungunuswa, uye zvikomo zvikabviswa, rudo rwangu rusingaperi harungazungunuswi, uye sungano yangu yorugare haingabviswi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha anokunzwira tsitsi.
11 Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
“Haiwa, iwe guta rokutambudzika wakarohwa nedutu ukasanyaradzwa, ndichakuvaka namabwe ana mavara, nheyo dzako namabwe esafire.
12 and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.
Ndichakuitira zviruvi zvamabwe matsvuku, masuo amabwe anovaima, uye masvingo ako ose amabwe anokosha.
13 And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.
Vanakomana venyu vose vachadzidziswa naJehovha, uye rugare rwavana venyu ruchava rukuru.
14 And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.
Muchasimbiswa mukururama: Kumanikidzwa kuchava kure nemi: hapana chamuchazotya. Kutya kuchava kure nemi; hakuchazosviki pedyo nemi.
15 Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.
Kana mumwe akakurwisa, handisini ndinenge ndazviita; ani naani anokurwisa achazvipira kwauri.
16 Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].
“Tarira, ndini ndakasika mupfuri wesimbi anopfutidza mazimbe moto ugonganduma, uye anopfura munondo wakakodzera pabasa rawo. Uye ndini ndakasika muparadzi kuti aparadze;
17 I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgement, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
hapana munondo ucharwisana newe ukakunda, uye uchakonesa rurimi rumwe norumwe runokupomera mhosva. Iyi ndiyo nhaka yavaranda vaJehovha, uye uku ndiko kururamisirwa kwavo kunobva kwandiri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
