Isaiah 57
1 Good people die, and nobody cares; the faithful pass away, and nobody thinks that they were being protected from evil.
Vakarurama vanoparara, uye hakuna anofunga izvi mumwoyo make; vanhu vanoda Mwari vanobviswa, uye hakuna anonzwisisa kuti vakarurama vanobviswa kuti vanunurwe kubva pane zvakaipa.
2 Those who follow what's right rest in peace; they find rest as they lie down in death.
Vose vanofamba mukururama vanopinda murugare, vanowana zororo pavanovata murufu.
3 But as for you, children of fortune-tellers, the product of adultery and prostitution—come here!
“Asi imi, uyai pano, imi vanakomana vomuroyi, imi chibereko chemhombwe nezvifeve!
4 Who are you making fun of when you make sneering faces and stick out your tongues? Aren't you the children of sin and lies?
Muri kuseka aniko? Ndiani wamunohomera uye wamunobudisira rurimi rwenyu? Ko, hamusi chibereko chemhandu here, nechizvarwa chavanoreva nhema?
5 You're the ones having pagan orgies under the oak trees, under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys and among the rocky peaks.
Munotsva noruchiva pakati pemiti yemuouki napasi pomuti mumwe nomumwe wakapfumvutira; munobayira vana venyu mumipata napasi pamapazi akarembera.
6 You have chosen to worship the smooth stones from the streams of the valleys—that's the choice you've made! You have poured out drink offerings to these idols—you have presented them with grain offerings. Should that make me happy?
Zvifananidzo zviri pakati pamatombo anotsvedzerera emipata ndiwo mugove wenyu; izvozvo, ndiwo mugove wenyu. Hongu, wakadururira chipiriso chokunwa kwazviri, uye ukapa chipiriso chezviyo. Ko, ini muchagona kundiripira zvinhu izvi here?
7 You have committed adultery by idol worship on every high mountain; you went there to offer pagan sacrifices.
Wakawaridza nhoo pakakwirira napachikomo chirefu; ikoko wakakwira kundobayira zvibayiro.
8 You've placed your pagan signs behind your doors and on your doorposts. Deserting me, you took off your clothes and climbed into bed, committing yourselves to those you love to be in bed with. You've seen them naked.
Seri kwamakonhi ako nezvivivo zvako wakaisa chirangaridzo chavamwari vako. Uchindisiya ini, wakafukura mubhedha wako, wakakwira pauri ukaushamisa kwazvo; wakaita sungano naavo vane mibhedha yaunoda, uye wakatarisa kusasimira kwavo.
9 You went to offer Molech olive oil, covering yourself with many perfumes. You sent your messengers to distant places; you even went down into the world of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
Wakaenda kuna Moreki namafuta omuorivhi ukawedzera zvinonhuhwira zvako. Wakatumira nhume dzako kure; wakaburukira kuguva chaiko! (Sheol h7585)
10 You wore yourselves out by such running around, but you didn't give up and say, “It's hopeless!” You found new strength and so didn't become weak.
Wakaneteswa nenzira dzako dzose, asi hauna kumboti, ‘Hazvina maturo.’ Wakawana kuvandudzwa kwesimba rako, nokudaro hauna kuziya.
11 Who were you scared of, who frightened you so much that you lied to me, didn't remember me, didn't even think about me? Is it because I've been quiet for so long that you don't even fear me?
“Ndianiko wawakatya uye ukavhunduka zvokuti wakazoreva nhema kwandiri, uye hauna kumbondirangarira kana kumbozvifunga izvi mumwoyo mako? Hakuzi kuti ndakaramba ndakanyarara iwe ukasanditya here?
12 I'm going to let everyone know about how you're so good and the things you do—but they won't help you!
Ndichaisa pachena kururama kwako namabasa ako, uye hazvizombokubatsiri.
13 When you cry out for help, let's see if your collection of idols will save you! The wind will blow them all away, just a breath and they're gone! But whoever comes to me for help will own the land and possess my holy mountain.
Paunochemera rubatsiro, zvifananidzo zvawakaunganidza ngazvikubatsire! Mhepo ichazvikukura zvose, mweya wokungofema zvawo uchazvifuridzira kure. Asi munhu anondiita utiziro hwake achagara nhaka yenyika, uye gomo rangu dzvene richava rake.”
14 He will say, Build a highway, remove anything that's in the way of my people.
Uye zvichazonzi: “Vakai, vakai, gadzirai mugwagwa! Bvisai zvipinganidzo munzira yavanhu vangu.”
15 This is what the one who is high above all says, he who lives in eternity, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, together with those who repent and who act humbly, restoring their spirits and encouraging them.
Nokuti zvanzi naIye akakwirira ari kumusoro, iye anorarama nokusingaperi, ane zita dzvene: “Ndinogara pakakwirira panzvimbo tsvene, asi naiyewo ane mweya wakapwanyika uye anozvininipisa, kuti ndimutsiridze mweya yavanozvininipisa uye ndimutsiridze mwoyo yavakapwanyika.
16 I won't fight with you forever; I won't be angry with you forever. Otherwise you'd lose heart, the very people I gave life to.
Handichapi mhosva nokusingaperi, kana kugara ndakatsamwa, nokuti ipapo mweya yavanhu ingaziya pamberi pangu, kufema kwomunhu wandakasika.
17 Yes, I was angry with these sinful, greedy people so I punished them. I was angry, so I hid myself from them, but they went on their own rebellious way, doing whatever they wanted.
Ndakatsamwiswa nechivi chake chokukara; ndakamuranga, ndikavanza chiso changu mukutsamwa kwangu, asi akaramba ari munzira dzaaida.
18 I know what they're doing, but I will heal them. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn,
Ndakaona nzira dzake, asi ndichamuporesa; ndichamutungamirira uye ndichamunyaradza,
19 so they will able to say thankyou. The Lord declares, Peace, peace, to those who are far away and those who are near. I will heal you.
ndichisika rumbidzo pamiromo yavanochema muIsraeri. Rugare, rugare kuna vari kure navari pedyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Uye ndichavaporesa.”
20 But the wicked are like the sea that is tossed about, never keeping still, churning up the mud and muck with its waves.
Asi vakaipa vakafanana negungwa rinozungunuka, risingagoni kuzorora, rina mafungu anorasa marara namatope.
21 There's no peace for the wicked, says my God.
Mwari wangu anoti, “Vakaipa havana rugare.”
