Isaiah 5
1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Ndichaimbira mudiwa wangu rwiyo pamusoro pomunda wake wemizambiringa: Mudiwa wangu akanga ane munda wake wemizambiringa, pachikomo chakaorera.
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Akautimbira akabvisa mabwe akasimamo mazambiringa akaisvonaka. Akavaka shongwe mukati mawo uye akauchererawo chisviniro chewaini. Ipapo akatarisa kuti awane zvibereko zvamazambiringa akanaka, asi iwo wakangobereka muchero wakaipa chete.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
“Zvino imi vagari vomuJerusarema nemi varume veJudha, chitongai pakati pangu nomunda wemizambiringa wangu.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Chiiko chimwezve chaifanira kuitirwa munda wangu wemizambiringa chandisina kuuitira? Pandakatsvaka mazambiringa akanaka, wakagoberekerei akaipa oga?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Zvino ndichakuudzai zvandichaitira munda wangu wemizambiringa: Ndichabvisa ruzhowa rwawo, ugoparadzwa; ndichaputsa rusvingo rwawo, ugochatsikwa-tsikwa.
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Ndichauita nzvimbo yamarara, hauzochekererwi kana kusakurirwa, uye minzwa norukato zvichakuramo. Ndicharayira makore kuti arege kunayisa mvura pamusoro pawo.”
7 For the vineyard of YHWH of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Munda womuzambiringa waJehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiwo imba yaIsraeri, uye varume veJudha ndivo bindu rake rinomufadza. Zvino akatarisira kururamisira asi akaona kuteuka kweropa; akatsvaka kururuma, asi akanzwa kuchema kwokutambudzika.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Mune nhamo imi munowedzera dzimba nedzimba uye munobatanidza munda nomunda, kusvikira pasisina nzvimbo yasara, mugogara moga munyika.
9 In mine ears said YHWH of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Jehovha Wamasimba Ose akataura ndichinzwa akati, “Zvirokwazvo dzimba zhinji dzichava matongo, dzimba huru dzakanaka dzichashaya vanogaramo.
10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
Maeka gumi omunda wemizambiringa achabereka bhati rimwe chete rewaini, uye homeri rembeu richabereka efa imwe chete rezviyo.”
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Vane nhamo avo vanomuka mangwanani kuti vatsvake doro rinodhaka, vanogara kusvikira usiku, kusvikira vapengeswa newaini.
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of YHWH, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Vanenge vane rudimbwa, nemitengeranwa pamabiko avo, namatambureni, nenyere newaini, asi havana hanya namabasa aJehovha, havana rukudzo nebasa ramaoko ake.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Naizvozvo vanhu vangu vachapinda muutapwa, nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo; vanokudzwa vavo vachafa nenzara, uye vazhinji vavo vachafa nenyota.
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Naizvozvo gehena rakawedzera kukara kwaro, uye rakazarura muromo waro zvinodarika mwero; mariri muchaburukira vanokudzwa vavo nevoruzhinji, navose vanokakavara vavo navanofara vavo. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
Naizvozvo munhuwo zvake achadzikiswa, marudzi avanhu achaninipiswa, nameso avanozvikudza achaninipiswa.
16 But YHWH of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and El that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
Asi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achakudzwa, nokuda kwokururamisira kwake, uye Mwari, mutsvene achazviratidza pachake kuti mutsvene, mukururama kwake.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
Ipapo makwai achafura saari mumafuro awo; makwayana achadya pakati pamatongo avapfumi.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
Vane nhamo avo vanokweva chivi nerwodzi rwokunyengera, uye zvakaipa sezvinenge mabote engoro,
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
uye nevanoti, “Mwari ngaakurumidze, ngaachimbidzike nebasa rake kuti tirione. Ngarisvike, urongwa hwoMutsvene waIsraeri ngahuuye, kuti tihuzive.”
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Vane nhamo avo vanoti zvakaipa ndizvo zvakanaka, uye zvakanaka ndizvo zvakaipa, vanoisa rima panzvimbo yechiedza nechiedza panzvimbo yerima, vanoisa zvinovava panzvimbo yezvinotapira, nezvinotapira panzvimbo yezvinovava.
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Vane nhamo avo vanoti vakachenjera pameso avo, uye vakangwara pakuona kwavo.
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Vane nhamo avo vanova mhare pakunwa waini, uye shasha pakuvhenganisa zvokunwa zvinodhaka,
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
vanopembedza ane mhosva nokuda kwefufuro, asi vanoramba kururamisira vasina mhosva.
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of YHWH of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Naizvozvo, samarimi omoto anonanzva mashanga, uye souswa hwakaoma hunomedzwa nemirazvo yemoto, naizvozvo midzi yavo ichaora uye maruva avo achapeperetswa seguruva; nokuti vakaramba murayiro waJehovha Wamasimba Ose, uye vakazvidza shoko roMutsvene waIsraeri.
25 Therefore is the anger of YHWH kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Naizvozvo kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwopfuta pamusoro pavanhu vake; ruoko rwake rwasimudzwa uye anovarovera pasi. Makomo anozungunuka, uye mitumbi yavakafa yaita samarara mumigwagwa. Kunyange zvakadaro nokuda kwezvose izvi, kutsamwa kwake hakuna kudzorwa, ruoko rwake rwaramba rwakasimudzwa.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
Anosimudzira ndudzi dziri kure mureza, anoridzira muridzo kuna avo vari kumigumo yenyika. Havo vouya, nokukurumidza uye nokuchimbidzika!
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Hapana kana mumwe wavo anoneta kana kugumburwa, hapana kana mumwe wavo achakotsira kana kuvata; hapana kana bhanhire richasunungurwa pachiuno, hapana kana rukanda rweshangu ruchadambuka.
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
Miseve yavo inopinza, uta hwavo hwose hwakakungwa; mahwanda amabhiza avo anenge omusarasara, mavhiri engoro dzavo akaita sechamupupuri.
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
Kuomba kwavo kwakaita sokweshumba, vanoomba kufanana neshumba diki; vanodzvova pavanobata mhuka yavo vagoitakura pasina kana angairwira.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
Pazuva iro vachaomba pamusoro payo, sokutinhira kwegungwa. Uye kana mumwe akatarisa panyika, achaona rima nokutambudzika; kunyange chiedza chichasvibiswa namakore.
