Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, will your God say.
Nyaradzai, nyaradzai vanhu vangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wenyu.
2 Speake comfortably to Ierusalem, and crye vnto her, that her warrefare is accomplished, that her iniquitie is pardoned: for she hath receiued of the Lords hand double for all her sinnes.
Taurai nounyoro kuJerusarema, mudanidzire kwariri kuti kubata kwaro kukuru kwapera, uye kuti chivi charo charipirwa, kuti ragamuchira kubva muruoko rwaJehovha zvakapetwa kaviri pamusoro pezvivi zvaro.
3 A voyce cryeth in the wildernesse, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make streight in the desert a path for our God.
Inzwi rounodanidzira achiti, “Gadzirai nzira yaJehovha mugwenga, ruramisai mugwagwa waMwari wedu murenje.
4 Euery valley shall be exalted, and euery mountaine and hill shall be made lowe: and the crooked shalbe streight, and the rough places plaine.
Mipata yose ichasimudzirwa, makomo ose nezvikomo zvichaenzaniswa; nzvimbo dzisakaenzana dzichava bani.
5 And the glory of the Lord shalbe reueiled, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kucharatidzwa, uye marudzi ose avanhu achazviona. Nokuti muromo waJehovha wazvitaura.”
6 A voyce saide, Crie. And he saide, What shall I crie? All flesh is grasse, and all the grace thereof is as the floure of the fielde.
Inzwi rinoti, “Danidzirai.” Ini ndokuti, “Ndodanidzireiko?” “Vanhu vose vakaita souswa, uye kubwinya kwavo kwose kwakaita samaruva omunda.
7 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth, because the Spirite of the Lord bloweth vpon it: surely the people is grasse.
Uswa hunooma uye maruva anowa, nokuti mweya waJehovha unofuridzira pamusoro pazvo. Zvirokwazvo vanhu uswa.
8 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth: but the worde of our God shall stand for euer.
Uswa hunooma uye maruva anowa, asi shoko raMwari wedu rinogara nokusingaperi.”
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee vp into the hie mountaine: O Ierusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift vp thy voyce with strength: lift it vp, be not afraide: say vnto the cities of Iudah, Beholde your God.
Imi munoparidzira Zioni zvinhu zvakanaka, kwirai pagomo refu. Imi munoparidzira Jerusarema mashoko akanaka, danidzirai nesimba, musatya; muti kumaguta eJudha, “Hoyu Mwari wenyu!”
10 Beholde, the Lord God will come with power, and his arme shall rule for him: beholde, his rewarde is with him, and his worke before him,
Tarirai, Ishe Jehovha ari kuuya nesimba, uye ruoko rwake runomubatira ushe. Tarirai, mubayiro wake anawo, uye zvaanoripira nazvo anazvo.
11 He shall feede his flocke like a shepheard: he shall gather the lambes with his arme, and cary them in his bosome, and shall guide them with young.
Anofudza makwai ake somufudzi: Anounganidza makwayana mumaoko ake agoatakurira pedyo nomwoyo wake; zvinyoronyoro anotungamirira nhunzvi dzinonwisa.
12 Who hath measured the waters in his fist? and counted heauen with the spanne, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure? and weighed ye mountaines in a weight, and the hilles in a balance?
Ndianiko akayera mvura zhinji muchanza chake, kana kuyera denga noupamhi hwechanza chake? Ndianiko akaisa guruva rose rapasi mudengu, kana kuyera kurema kwamakomo nechiyero, nezvikomo pachiyero?
13 Who hath instructed ye Spirit of the Lord? or was his counseler or taught him?
Ndiani akanzwisisa murangariro waJehovha, kana kumudzidzisa somudzidzisi wake?
14 Of whom tooke he counsell, and who instructed him and taught him in the way of iudgement? or taught him knowledge, and shewed vnto him the way of vnderstanding?
Ndiani akabvunzwa naJehovha kuti amujekesere, uye ndiani akamudzidzisa nzira yakanaka? Ndianiko akamudzidzisa ruzivo kana kumuratidza nzira yokunzwisisa?
15 Beholde, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the dust of the balance: beholde, he taketh away the yles as a litle dust.
Zvirokwazvo ndudzi dzavanhu dzakaita sedonhwe remvura riri muchirongo; vanongova seguruva riri pamusoro pechiyero; anoyera zviwi kunge guruva rakatsetseka.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient for fire, nor the beastes thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Rebhanoni harina huni dzinoringana kuvesa moto wearitari, uye zvipfuwo zvaro hazvikwani kuita chipiriso chinopiswa.
17 All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him, lesse then nothing, and vanitie.
Ndudzi dzose dzakaita sepasina chinhu pamberi pake; iye anodziona sedzisina maturo, kunge dzisipo.
18 To whom then wil ye liken God? or what similitude will ye set vp vnto him?
Zvino, mungafananidza Mwari naaniko? Ndoupi mufananidzo wamungamuenzanisa nawo?
19 The workeman melteth an image, or the goldsmith beateth it out in golde, or the goldesmith maketh siluer plates.
Kana chiri chifananidzo, muumbi anochiumba, mupfuri wegoridhe ochinamira negoridhe, uye anochiitira uketani hwesirivha.
20 Doeth not the poore chuse out a tree that will not rot, for an oblation? he seeketh also vnto him a cunning workeman, to prepare an image, that shall not be moued.
Murombo anoshayiwa chipo anosarudza danda risingaori. Anotsvaka mhizha kuti imuvezere chifananidzo chisingazozungunuki.
21 Know ye nothing? haue ye not heard it? hath it not bene tolde you from the beginning? haue ye not vnderstand it by the foundation of the earth?
Hamuzivi here? Hamuna kunzwa here? Hamuna kumbozviudzwa kubva pakutanga here? Hamuna kunzwisisa kubva pakuvamba kwenyika here?
22 He sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers, hee stretcheth out ye heauens, as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out, as a tent to dwell in.
Anogara samambo pamusoro pedenderedzwa renyika, uye vanhu vayo vakaita semhashu. Anotambanudza matenga setende, agoawaridzira setende kuti agaremo.
23 He bringeth the princes to nothing, and maketh the iudges of the earth, as vanitie,
Anoita kuti machinda ave pasina, uye anoderedza vatongi venyika ino kuti vave pasina.
24 As though they were not plated, as though they were not sowen, as though their stocke tooke no roote in the earth: for he did euen blow vpon them, and they withered, and the whirlewinde will take them away as stubble.
Vachangosimwa, vachangodyarwa, vachangodzika midzi muvhu, iye anofuridza pamusoro pavo vachibva vaoma, uye chamupupuri chinovakukura sehundi.
25 To whom nowe will ye liken me, that I should be like him, saith the Holy one?
“Mungandienzanisa naaniko? Kana kuti ndiani akaenzana neni?” ndizvo zvinotaura Iye Mutsvene.
26 Lift vp your eyes on hie, and beholde who hath created these things, and bringeth out their armies by nomber, and calleth them all by names? by the greatnesse of his power and mightie strength nothing faileth.
Simudzai meso enyu mutarire kumatenga. Ndianiko akasika zvose izvi? Iye anobudisa nyeredzi imwe imwe, achidzidana imwe neimwe nezita rayo. Nokuda kwesimba rake guru uye noukuru hwesimba rake, hapana kana imwe zvayo inoshayikwa.
27 Why sayest thou, O Iaakob, and speakest O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my iudgement is passed ouer of my God?
Unoreveiko, iwe Jakobho, unogununʼuna chii, iwe Israeri uchiti, “Nzira yangu haizivikanwi naJehovha; Mwari wangu haana hanya nezvandinorwira?”
28 Knowest thou not? or hast thou not heard, that the euerlasting God, the Lord hath created the endes of the earth? he neither fainteth, nor is wearie: there is no searching of his vnderstanding.
Hauzivi here? Hauna kunzwa here? Jehovha ndiye Mwari nokusingaperi, Musiki wamagumo enyika. Haaneti kana kuziya, uye hakuna angayera kunzwisisa kwake.
29 But he giueth strength vnto him that fainteth, and vnto him that hath no strength, he encreaseth power.
Anopa simba kuna vakarukutika, uye anowedzera simba kuna vasina simba.
30 Euen the yong men shall faint, and be wearie, and the yong men shall stumble and fall.
Kunyange majaya anoneta uye anorukutika, uye majaya anogumburwa agowa;
31 But they that waite vpon the Lord, shall renue their strength: they shall lift vp the wings as the eagles: they shall runne, and not be wearie, and they shall walke and not faint.
asi avo vane tariro muna Jehovha vachavandudza simba ravo. Vachabhururuka namapapiro samakondo; vachamhanya vasinganeti; vachafamba vasingaziyi.
