Isaiah 58
1 Cry out! Cease not! Exalt your voice like a trumpet, and announce to my people their wicked acts, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
“Danidzira nesimba, usanyarara. Simudza inzwi rako sehwamanda. Paridzira vanhu vangu kupanduka kwavo, neimba yaJakobho zvivi zvavo.
2 For they also seek me, from day to day, and they are willing to know my ways, like a nation which has done justice and has not abandoned the judgment of their God. They petition me for judgments of justice. They are willing to draw near to God.
Nokuti zuva nezuva vanonditsvaka; vanoita savane chido chokuziva nzira dzangu, kunge vanga vari rudzi runoita zvakanaka uye rusina kusiya mirayiro yaMwari wavo. Vanondikumbira kutonga kwakarurama sokunge vanofarira kuti Mwari auye pedyo navo.
3 “Why have we fasted, and you have not taken notice? Why have we humbled our souls, and you have not acknowledged it?” Behold, in the day of your fasting, your own will is found, and you petition for payment from all your debtors.
Vanoti, ‘Takatsanyireiko, uye imi mukasazviona? Takazvininipisireiko, imi mukasazviona?’ “Asi pazuva rokutsanya kwenyu munoita zvamunoda muchimanikidza vashandi venyu.
4 Behold, you fast with strife and contention, and you strike with the fist impiously. Do not choose to fast as you have done even to this day. Then your outcry will be heard on high.
Kutsanya kwenyu kunogumisira mukukakavadzana nemhirizhonga, uye kurovana netsiva dzakaipisisa. Hamungatsanyi sezvamunoita mazuva ano, mugotarisira kuti inzwi renyu richanzwika kumusoro.
5 Is this a fast such as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day, to contort his head in a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Should you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord?
Ko, ndiko here kutsanya kwandakasarudza, zuva rimwe chete rokuti munhu azvininipise? Ndezvokukotamisa musoro chete sorushanga here, nokungovata pamusoro penguo dzamasaga namadota? Ndiko kwamunoti kutsanya here, pazuva rinodikanwa naJehovha?
6 Is not this, instead, the kind of fast that I have chosen? Release the constraints of impiety; relieve the burdens that oppress; freely forgive those who are broken; and break apart every burden.
“Uku handiko kutsanya kwandakasarudza here: Kusunungura ngetani dzokusaruramisira nokusunungura zvitirobho zvejoko, kusunungura vakamanikidzwa nokuvhuna joko rimwe nerimwe?
7 Break your bread with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise your own flesh.
Hakuzi kugoverana zvokudya zvako nevane nzara, nokupa varombo vanodzungaira pokugara here, paunoona vakashama, kuvapfekedza, uye kusafuratira venyama neropa rako?
8 Then your light will break forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up.
Ipapo chiedza chako chichabuda samambakwedza, uye kuporeswa kwako kucharatidzwa nokukurumidza; ipapo kururama kwako kuchakutungamirira, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kuchakurinda mumashure.
9 Then you will call, and the Lord will heed; you will cry out, and he will say, “Here I am,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial.
Ipapo uchadana, Jehovha achakupindura; uchadanidzira uchida rubatsiro, uye iye achati: Ndiri pano. “Kana ukabvisa joko roudzvinyiriri, kutendeka nomunwe nokutaura kwakaipa,
10 When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the midday.
uye ukapa zvokudya zvako kune vane nzara uye ukagutsa vakamanikidzwa pakushaya kwavo, ipapo chiedza chako chichabuda murima, uye usiku hwako huchashanduka hukafanana namasikati.
11 And the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not fail.
Jehovha achakutungamirira nguva dzose; achakugutsa pakushaya kwako munyika yakapiswa nezuva uye achasimbisa mapfupa ako. Uchafanana nebindu rinodiridzwa nemvura yetsime, sechitubu chine mvura isingapwi.
12 And places that have been desolate for ages will be built up by you. You will raise a foundation for generation after generation. And you will be called the repairer of hedges, who turns the roadways into quiet places.
Vanhu vako vachavakazve matongo akare vachasimudza nheyo dzakare; iwe uchanzi Mugadziri waMasvingo Akakoromoka, Muvandudzi weMigwagwa ine Dzimba.
13 If you restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak a word,
“Kana ukachengeta tsoka dzako kuti dzisaputsa Sabata, uye kuti dzisaita zvinokufadza iwe pazuva rangu dzvene, kana ukati Sabata izuva rinofadza, uye ukati zuva dzvene raJehovha izuva rinokudzwa, uye kana ukarikudza nokusafamba munzira yako, uye usingaiti zvinokufadza kana kutaura mashoko asina maturo,
14 then you will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
ipapo uchawana mufaro wako muna Jehovha, uye ndichakuita kuti ukwire pakakwirira penyika, uye ndichakugutsa nenhaka yababa vako Jakobho.” Muromo waJehovha wazvitaura.
