< Esias 56 >
1 Thus says the Lord, Keep you judgement, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my mercy to be revealed.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Chengetedzai kururamisira mugoita zvakanaka, nokuti ruponeso rwangu rwava pedyo, uye kururama kwangu kuchakurumidza kuratidzwa.
2 Blessed is the man that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the sabbaths from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anoita izvi, munhu anozvibatisisa, anochengeta Sabata asingarisvibisi, uye anodzivisa ruoko rwake kuita chinhu chakaipa.”
3 Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from his people: and let not the eunuch say, I am a dry tree.
Mutorwa akanamatira kuna Jehovha ngaarege kuti, “Zvirokwazvo Jehovha achandiparadzanisa navanhu vake.” Uye nomuyunaki ngaarege kugununʼuna achiti, “Ndinongova zvangu muti wakaoma.”
4 Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs, as many as shall keep my sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of my covenant;
Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha: “Kuvayunaki vanochengeta maSabata angu, vanosarudza zvinondifadza, uye vanobatirira pasungano yangu,
5 I will give to them in my house and within my walls an honourable place, better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.
kwavari ndichapa, mukati metemberi yangu namasvingo ayo, chirangaridzo nezita riri nani kupfuura vanakomana navanasikana; ndichavapa zita risingaperi, risingazoparadzwi.
6 And [I will give it] to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and [as for] all that keep my sabbaths from profaning [them], and that take hold of my covenant;
Uye vatorwa vakazvipira kuna Jehovha kuti vamushumire, kuti vade zita raJehovha, uye vamunamate, vose vanochengeta Sabata vasingarisvibisi vachibatisisa sungano yangu,
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,
ivava ndichavauyisa kugomo rangu dzvene ndigovapa mufaro muimba yangu yokunyengetera. Zvipiriso zvavo zvinopiswa nezvibayiro zvichagamuchirwa paaritari yangu; nokuti imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera yendudzi dzose.”
8 says the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.
Ishe Jehovha anoti, iye anounganidza vakatapwa vaIsraeri, “Ndichaunganidzazve vamwe kwavari, tisingaverengeri avo vakaunganidzwa kare.”
9 All you beasts of the field, come, devour, all you beasts of the forest.
Uyai, imi mose zvikara zvesango, uyai mudye, imi mose zvikara zvesango!
10 See how they are all blinded: they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.
Nharirire dzeIsraeri mapofu, vose vanoshayiwa zivo; vose imbwa dzisingahukuri, hadzigoni kuhukura; dzinovata pose pose dzichingorota, dzinofarira kuvata.
11 Yes, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].
Imbwa dzinokara zvikuru; dzisingamboguti. Vafudzi vanoshayiwa kunzwisisa: vose vanotsaukira kunzira yavo pachavo, mumwe nomumwe anotsvaka zvinomupfumisa.
Mumwe nomumwe anodanidzira achiti, “Uyai, regai nditore waini! Regai tinwe tigute nedoro! Uye mangwana achafanana nanhasi, kana kutopfuura.”
