Isaiah 63
1 Who is this, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.
Ndianiko uyu anobva kuEdhomu, anobva kuBhozira, ane nguo dzakatsvuka seropa? Ndianiko uyu, akafuka zvinobwinya, anofamba muukuru hwesimba rake? “Ndini ndinotaura nokururama, ndine simba rokuponesa.”
2 So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?
Seiko nguo dzenyu dzakatsvuka sedzomunhu anotsika chisviniro chewaini?
3 I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
“Ndakatsika chisviniro chewaini ndoga; kubva kundudzi dzose hapana akanga aneni. Ndakavatsika-tsika mukutsamwa kwangu uye ndakavapwanyira pasi muhasha dzangu; ropa ravo rikatsatikira panguo dzangu, ndikasvibisa nguo dzangu dzose.
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
Nokuti zuva rokutsiva rakanga riri mumwoyo mangu, uye gore rokudzikinura kwangu rasvika.
5 I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.
Ndakatarisa, asi pakanga pasina angabatsira, ndakashamiswa nokuti hapana akatsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, uye hasha dzangu dzakanditsigira.
6 And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.
Ndakatsika-tsika ndudzi mukutsamwa kwangu; muhasha dzangu ndakaita kuti vadhakwe uye ndakadurura ropa ravo pasi.”
7 I will remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
Ndichataura nezvounyoro hwaJehovha, iwo mabasa aanofanira kukudzwa nawo, nokuda kwezvose zvatakaitirwa naJehovha, hongu, izvo zvinhu zvizhinji zvaakaitira imba yaIsraeri, nokuda kwetsitsi dzake uye nengoni dzake zhinji.
8 And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And he became their Savior.
Akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vanakomana vasingazovi venhema kwandiri,” naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.
9 Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.
Mumatambudziko avo ose naiyewo akatambudzika, uye mutumwa wokuvapo kwake akavaponesa. Murudo rwake nengoni akavadzikinura; akavasimudza uye akavatakura mumazuva ose akare.
10 But they themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war against them.
Asi vakamumukira vakachemedza Mweya wake Mutsvene. Saka akashanduka akava muvengi wavo, uye iye amene akarwa navo.
11 And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?
Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, mazuva aMozisi navanhu vake, vakati, aripiko akavayambutsa gungwa, nomufudzi wamakwai ake? Aripiko akaisa Mweya wake Mutsvene pakati pavo,
12 He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.
iye akavatumira ruoko rwake rwokukudzwa nesimba kuti ruve paruoko rworudyi rwaMozisi, iye akaparadzanisa mvura pamberi pavo, kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi,
13 He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.
iye akavatungamirira nomakadzika? Sebhiza murenje, havana kugumburwa;
14 Like an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.
semombe dzinoburukira kubani, vakapiwa zororo noMweya waJehovha. Ndiwo matungamiriro amakaita vanhu venyu kuti muzviitire zita rine mukurumbira.
15 Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.
Tarirai pasi muri kudenga uye muone, kubva pachigaro chenyu chakakwirira chitsvene uye chinobwinya. Kushingaira kwenyu nesimba renyu zviripiko? Unyoro hwenyu netsitsi dzenyu zvakabviswa kwatiri.
16 For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
Asi muri Baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahama asingatizivi kana naIsraeri asingatiziviwo; imi, Jehovha, ndimi Baba vedu, Mudzikinuri wedu kubva kare ndiro zita renyu.
17 Why have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
Haiwa Jehovha, munotiregereiko tichidzungaira, kubva panzira dzenyu muchiomesa mwoyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.
18 They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. Our enemies have trampled your sanctuary.
Kwenguva duku vanhu venyu vakatora nzvimbo yenyu tsvene, asi zvino vavengi vedu vakatsika-tsika nzvimbo yenyu tsvene.
19 We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.
Isu tiri venyu kubva kare; asi ivo hamuna kumbovatonga, havana kumbodaidzwa nezita renyu.
