< Esias 30 >
1 Woe to the apostate children, says the Lord: you have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:
“Vane nhamo vana vakasindimara,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kuna avo vanoita urongwa husati huri hwangu, vanoita sungano, asi vasingaiti noMweya wangu, vachiunganidza chivi pamusoro pechivi;
2 [even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.
vanoenda kuIjipiti vasina kundibvunza; vanotsvaka rubatsiro rworudziviriro rwaFaro, vanotsvaka utiziro kumumvuri weIjipiti.
3 For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.
Asi kudzivirira kwaFaro kuchava kunyadziswa kwenyu, mumvuri weIjipiti uchakuvigirai kunyadziswa,
4 For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
kunyange vaine machinda muZoani uye nhume dzavo dzasvika muHanesi,
5 In vain shall they labor [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a shame and reproach.
mumwe nomumwe wavo achanyadziswa nokuda kwavanhu vasina betsero kwavari, vasingavavigiri rubatsiro kana ruyamuro, asi kunyadziswa chete nokuzvidzwa.”
6 THE VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
Chirevo pamusoro pemhuka dzeNegevhi: nomunyika yenhamo namatambudziko, yeshumba neshumbakadzi, yemvumbi nenyoka dzine hasha uye dzinobhururuka, nhume dzinotakura pfuma yadzo pamusoro pembongoro, noupfumi hwadzo pamusoro penyundwa dzengamera, dzichihuendesa kurudzi rusingabatsiri,
7 The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
kuIjipiti kuno rubatsiro rusina maturo chose. Naizvozvo ndinomutumidza zita rokuti Rahabhi Asina Chaanoita.
8 Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.
Chienda iye zvino, unovanyorera pahwendefa izvozvo, uzvinyore murugwaro, kuti pamazuva anouya chigova chapupu nokusingaperi.
9 For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:
Ava ndivo vanhu vakapanduka, vana vokunyengera, vana vasingadi kunzwa kurayira kwaJehovha.
10 who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;
Vanoti kuvaoni, “Regai kuonazve zviratidzo!” nokuvaprofita, “Regai kutipazve zviratidzo zvezvakanaka! Tiudzei zvinhu zvinofadza, muprofite zvinonyengera.
11 and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.
Siyai nzira iyi, ibvai mugwara iri, murege kuita kuti timisidzane noMutsvene waIsraeri!”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because you have murmured, and been confident in this respect:
Naizvozvo zvanzi naMutsvene waIsraeri: “Nokuti makaramba shoko rangu iri, mukasendamira pakumanikidza uye mukavimba nokunyengera,
13 therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.
chivi ichi chichava kwamuri sorusvingo, rwakatsemuka nokufutunuka, runoondomoka pakarepo uye nokukurumidza.
14 And the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that you should not find among them a sherd, with which you might take up fire, and with which you should draw a little water.
Ruchaputsika kuita zvimedu zvimedu sehari, yakaputswa noutsinye zvokuti pakati pezvimedu zvayo hapana kuwanikwa chaenga chakasara, chokugoka mazimbe omoto pachoto kana chokuchera nacho mvura kubva muchitubu.”
15 Thus says the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When you shall turn and mourn, then you shall be saved; and you shall know where you were, when you did trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet you would not listen:
Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Mutsvene waIsraeri: “Mukutendeuka nezororo ndimo mune ruponeso rwenyu, murunyararo nomukuvimba ndimo mune simba renyu, asi imi makaramba chimwe chazvo.
16 but you said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Imi makati, ‘Kwete, tichatiza takatasva mabhiza.’ Naizvozvo muchatiza! Imi makati, ‘Tichatasva mabhiza anomhanya kwazvo.’ Naizvozvo vadzinganisi venyu vachamhanya kwazvo!
17 A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until you be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon a hill.
Chiuru chimwe chete chichatiza nokuvhundutsa kwomumwe chete; imi mose muchatiza kuvhundutsa kwavashanu, kusvikira masara maita sedanda romureza riri pamusoro pegomo, kuita somureza pamusoro pechikomo.”
18 And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon him.
Asi Jehovha anoshuva kukuitirai nyasha; anosimuka kuti akuratidzei tsitsi. Nokuti Jehovha ndiMwari wokururamisira. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanomurindira!
19 For the holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity you: when he perceived the voice of your cry, he listened to you.
Haiwa imi vanhu veZioni, vanogara muJerusarema, hamuchazochemizve. Achava nenyasha sei pamunochemera rubatsiro! Achingozvinzwa, achakupindurai.
20 And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause you to err shall no more at all draw near to you; for your eyes shall see those that cause you to err,
Kunyange Ishe achikupai chingwa chenhamo nemvura yokutambudzika, vadzidzi venyu havachazovanzwizve; muchavaona nameso enyu pachenyu.
21 and your ears shall hear the words of them that went after you to lead you astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.
Kunyange mukatendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, nzeve dzenyu dzichanzwa inzwi mumashure menyu, richiti, “Iyi ndiyo nzira, fambai mairi.”
22 And you shall pollute the plated idols, and you shall grind to powder the gilt ones, and shall scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and you shall thrust them forth as dung.
Ipapo muchasvibisa zvifananidzo zvenyu zvakafukidzwa nesirivha nezviumbwa zvenyu zvakafukidzwa negoridhe; muchazvirasira kure somucheka wakasvibiswa neropa romukadzi ari kumwedzi kwake muchiti kwazviri, “Ibvai pano!”
23 Then shall there be rain to the seed of your land; and the bread of the fruit of your land shall be plenteous and rich: and your cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.
Achakutumiraiwo mvura yokumeresa mbeu dzamunodyara muvhu, uye zvokudya zvichabva munyika zvichange zvakanyatsosvika uye zvakawanda kwazvo. Pazuva iro, nzombe dzenyu dzichafura mumafuro akafaranuka.
24 Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.
Nzombe nembongoro dzinorima munda zvichadya mashanga noupfu, zvakaparadzirwa neforogo nefoshoro.
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain and upon every high hill, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall fall.
Pazuva rokuuraya kukuru, panowira shongwe pasi, hova dzemvura dzichayerera pamusoro pamakomo ose akakwirira napamusoro pezvikomo zvakareba.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of your wound.
Mwedzi uchapenya sezuva, uye zuva richapenya kakapetwa kanomwe, kufanana nechiedza chamazuva manomwe azere, Jehovha paanosunga mavanga avanhu vake agorapa maronda aakavakuvadza nawo.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as fire.
Tarirai, Zita raJehovha rasvika richibva kure, rine hasha dzinopfuta moto namakore outsi hwakasviba kuti ndo-o; miromo yake yakazara nokutsamwa, uye rurimi rwake moto unoparadza.
28 And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.
Kufema kwake kunofanana nokuyerera kwemvura ine simba zhinji, inokwira ichisvika mumutsipa. Anozungura ndudzi murusero rwokuparadza; anoisa mushaya dzavanhu matomu anovatsausa.
29 Must you always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must you go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel?
Uye muchaimba sapausiku hwamunopemberera mutambo mutsvene; mwoyo yenyu ichafara sezvinoita vanhu vanokwira kugomo raJehovha, nokuDombo raIsraeri, vachiridza nyere.
30 And the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.
Jehovha achaita kuti vanhu vanzwe inzwi rake roumambo, uye achaita kuti vaone ruoko rwake ruchiburuka pasi, nehasha zhinji nomoto wokuparadza, nokuputika kwamakore, kunaya kwemvura zhinji nechimvuramabwe.
31 For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall strike them.
Inzwi raJehovha richaparadza vaAsiria; achavarova netsvimbo yake.
32 And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.
Shamhu yoga yoga yavacharohwa nayo naJehovha netsvimbo yake yokuranga, ichaenderana nerwiyo rwamakandira norudimbwa, paacharwa navo muhondo noruoko rwake.
33 For you shall be required before [your] time: has it been prepared for you also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for you] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
Tofeti yakanguri yagadzirira; yakagadzirirwa kare kugamuchira mambo. Gomba rayo romoto rakadzikiswa rikapamhamiswa, uye pane moto wakawanda nehuni zhinji; kufema kwaJehovha, sorukova runopfuta nesafuri, kuchazvitungidza.
