Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.
Mugore rakafa Mambo Uziya, ndakaona Ishe agere pachigaro choushe, chirefu chakakwirira uye mupendero wenguo dzake wakazadza temberi.
2 Above Him stood the seraphim; each one had six wings: with twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Kumusoro kwake kwaiva neserafimi, imwe neimwe yaiva namapapiro matanhatu: namapapiro maviri, dzakafukidza uso hwadzo, namaviri dzakafukidza makumbo adzo, uye namaviri dzakanga dzichibhururuka.
3 And one called unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.
Zvino imwe yaidanidzira kune imwe ichiti: “Mutsvene, mutsvene, mutsvene, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose; nyika yose izere nokubwinya kwake.”
4 And the posts of the door were moved at the voice of them that called, and the house was filled with smoke.
Nokutinhira kwamanzwi adzo, nheyo dzezvikumbaridzo dzakazungunuka uye temberi yakazadzwa noutsi.
5 Then said I: Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Ipapo ndakachema ndichiti, “Ndine nhamo! Ndaparara! Nokuti ndiri munhu ane miromo ine tsvina uye ndigere pakati pavanhu vane miromo ine tsvina uye meso angu aona Mambo, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.”
6 Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, with a glowing stone in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
Ipapo imwe yesarafimi yakabhururukira kwandiri ine zimbe romoto muruoko rwayo, rayakanga yatora nembato kubva paaritari.
7 and he touched my mouth with it, and said: Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.
Yakagunzva muromo wangu naro ikati, “Tarira, zimbe iri ragunzva miromo yako; mhosva yako yabviswa uye chivi chako chadzikinurwa.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: 'Here am I; send me.'
Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi raJehovha richiti, “Ndiani wandichatuma? Uye ndiani achatiendera?” Ini ndakati, “Ndiri pano! Nditumei!”
9 And He said: 'Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Iye akati, “Enda undoudza vanhu ava uti, “‘Munogara muchinzwa, asi hamumbonzwisisi; munogara muchiona, asi hamuonesesi.’
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.'
Ita kuti mwoyo yavanhu ava isindimare; ita kuti nzeve dzavo dzisanzwisise uye vatsinzine meso avo. Nokuti vangaona nameso avo, nokunzwa nenzeve dzavo, vakanzwisisa nemwoyo yavo, vakadzoka vakaporeswa.”
11 Then said I: 'Lord, how long?' And He answered: 'Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,
Ipapo ndakati, “Haiwa, Ishe, kusvikira riniko?” Iye akapindura achiti, “Kusvikira maguta ava matongo uye pasisina anogaramo, kusvikira dzimba dzasiyiwa dzisina vanhu, neminda yaparadzwa zvachose,
12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.
kusvikira Jehovha adzingira vanhu kure, uye nyika yasiyiwa zvachose.
13 And if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall again be eaten up; as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they cast their leaves, so the holy seed shall be the stock thereof.'
Uye kunyange kukasara chegumi munyika, naichowo chichaparadzwa. Asi somuterabhiniti nomuouki zvichasara zvava zvigutsa pazvinotemwa, saizvozvo rudzi rutsvene ruchavawo sechigutsa munyika.”
