Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
Vane nhamo vanodzika mitemo isina kururama, neavo vanopa mitemo inodzvinyirira,
2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
kuti vadzivise varombo kodzero dzavo uye vadzivise kururamisirwa kwavakadzvinyirirwa vavanhu vangu, vachipamba chirikadzi uye vachibira nherera.
3 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
Muchaita sei pazuva rokutongwa, njodzi painouya ichibva kure? Muchatizira kuna aniko kuti mubatsirwe? Upfumi hwenyu muchahusiyepiko?
4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
Hapana chichasara asi kungokotama pakati penhapwa, kana kuwira pakati pavakaurayiwa. Kunyange zvakadaro, kutsamwa kwake hakuna kudzorwa, ruoko rwake ruchakangosimudzwa.
5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
“Une nhamo iwe Asiria, shamhu yokutsamwa kwangu, iye akabata tsvimbo yehasha dzangu mumaoko ake!
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
Ndiri kumutuma kurudzi rusina Mwari, ndinomutuma kuvanhu vanonditsamwisa, kundokomba nokutora nokubvuta zvakapambwa, nokuvatsikirira pasi sedope riri mumigwagwa.
7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
Asi izvi handizvo zvaanoda, izvi handizvo zvaanga achifunga; vavariro yake ndeyokuparadza, kupedza chose marudzi mazhinji.
8 For he will say:
Anoti, ‘Ko, machinda angu haazi madzimambo ose here?
9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
Karino harina kuita sezvakaita Karikemishi here? Ko, Hamati harina kufanana neAripadhi, uye Samaria harina kufanana neDhamasiko here?
10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
Ruoko rwangu sezvarwakatora umambo hwezvifananidzo, umambo hune zvifananidzo zvakakunda zveJerusarema neSamaria,
11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
ko, handichaitiri Jerusarema nezvifananidzo zvaro sezvandakaitira Samaria nezvifananidzo zvayo here?’”
12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
Kana Ishe achinge apedza basa rake rose pamusoro peGomo reZioni neJerusarema, achazoti, “Ndicharanga mambo weAsiria nokuda kwokuzvikudza kwomwoyo wake namanyawi emeso ake.
13 For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
Nokuti iye anoti, “‘Nesimba ramaoko angu ndakaita izvi, uye nouchenjeri hwangu, nokuti ndinonzwisisa. Ndakabvisa miganhu yendudzi, ndikapamba pfuma yavo; semhare ndakakunda madzimambo avo.
14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
Sezvinoita munhu anosvasvavira mudendere, saizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakananavira pfuma yamarudzi; savarume vanounganidza mazai akasiyiwa, saizvozvo ndakaunganidza nyika dzose; hakuna yakapfakanyisa bapiro, kana kushamisa muromo wayo kuti irire.’”
15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
Ko, demo ringazvirumbidza kupfuura iye anoritemesa here? Kana jeko ringazvirumbidza pamusoro pounorishandisa here? Zvinozoita sokunge tsvimbo inosimudza uyo anoitakura, kana mudonzvo kusimudza uyo asati ari huni!
16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
Naizvozvo, Ishe Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, achatumira denda rinoonza pamusoro pavarwi vakafuta; pasi pokubwinya kwake moto uchatungidzwa kufanana nemirazvo inopfuta.
17 And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
Chiedza chaIsraeri chichava moto, noMutsvene wavo murazvo womoto; muzuva rimwe chete uchapfuta ugopedza minzwa yake norukato rwake.
18 And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
Kubwinya kwamasango ake neminda yake yakaorera kuchaparadzwa chose, kufanana nomurwere anoramba achipera.
19 And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
Uye miti yakasara yamasango ake ichava mishoma kwazvo, zvokuti mwana angagona kuinyora pasi.
20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Pazuva iro vakasara veIsraeri, vakapunyuka veimba yaJakobho, havachazovimbi naye iye akavarova, asi zvirokwazvo vachavimba naJehovha, Mutsvene waIsraeri.
21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
Vakasara vachadzokera, vakasara vaJakobho, vachadzokera kuna Mwari Ane Simba.
22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
Kunyange vanhu vako, iwe Israeri, vakaita sejecha regungwa, vachasara chete ndivo vachadzokera. Kuparadzwa kwakatotemwa, kuzere nokururama.
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achapedzisa kuparadzwa kwakatemerwa nyika yose.
24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Haiwa, vanhu vangu vanogara muZioni, musatya vaAsiria, vanokurovai nomudonzvo nokukusimudzirai tsvimbo, sezvakaitwa neIjipiti.
25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
Nokuti nenguva duku duku kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro penyu kuchapera, uye hasha dzangu dzichanangana nokuparadzwa kwavo.”
26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achavarova netyava, samarovero aakaita vaMidhia padombo reOrebhi, uye achasimudza tsvimbo yake pamusoro pemvura zhinji, sezvaakaita muIjipiti.
27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
Pazuva iro mitoro yavo ichabviswa pamapfudzi enyu, nejoko ravo pamitsipa yenyu; joko richavhuniwa, nokuti manyanya kufuta.
28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
Vanopinda muAyati; vopfuura nomuMigironi; vochengeta nhumbi paMikimashi.
29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
Vanopfuura napamupata, vagoti, “Tichadzika matende paGebha usiku.” Rama rinobvunda; Gibhea raSauro rinotiza.
30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
Ridza mhere, iwe mukunda weGarimi! Teerera, iwe Raisha! Newe Anatoti unonzwisa urombo!
31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
Madhimena riri kutiza; vanhu veGebhimi vanovanda.
32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Zuva ranhasi vachamira paNobhi; vachakunga chibhakera chavo pagomo remwanasikana weZioni, pachikomo cheJerusarema.
33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
Tarirai, Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, achatema matavi nesimba guru. Miti mirefu refu ichawiswa, uye yakareba ichadzikiswa.
34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
Achatema matenhere esango nedemo; Rebhanoni ichawa pamberi paIye Ane Simba.
