Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that wastest, while thou wast not wasted; and traitor, while men dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt have made an end of wasting, thou shalt be wasted, and when thou shalt have finished to deal treacherously, men shall deal treacherously with thee.
Une nhamo iwe, muparadzi, iyewe usati wamboparadzwa! Une nhamo iwe, mupanduki, iyewe usati wambopandukirwa! Paunorega kuparadza, iwe uchaparadzwa; paunorega kupandukira, iwe uchapandukirwa.
2 O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
Haiwa Jehovha, tinzwirei tsitsi; tinokupangai imi. Ivai simba redu mangwanani oga oga, noruponeso rwedu panguva yokutambudzika.
3 At the noise of [thy] thunder people fled; when thou liftedst thyself up nations were scattered.
Pakutinhira kwenzwi renyu, ndudzi dzinotiza; pamunosimuka, marudzi anopararira.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the cricket gathereth: as locusts run about, so shall people hasten after it.
Haiwa imi ndudzi, zvakapambwa zvenyu zvachekwa kunge zvachekwa nemhashu diki; vanhu vanomhanyira kwazviri segwatakwata remhashu.
5 The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
Jehovha asimudzirwa, iye anogara kumusoro; achazadza Zioni nokururamisira nokururama.
6 And the stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Achava nheyo yechokwadi yenguva yenyu, nedura repfuma yoruponeso, uchenjeri nezivo; kiyi yepfuma iyi ndiko kutya Jehovha.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Tarirai, mhare dzavo dzinodanidzira munzira dzomumisha; nhume dzorugare dzinochema zvikuru.
8 The highways lie waste, ceased hath the wayfaring traveler: he hath broken the covenant, he despiseth cities, he regardeth not man.
Migwagwa mikuru yasiyiwa, vafambi havachisimo mumigwagwa. Sungano yaputswa, zvapupu zvayo zvazvidzwa, hapachina anoremekedzwa.
9 It mourneth, it languisheth—the land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.
Nyika inochema uye yoparara, Rebhanoni yanyadziswa uye yasvava; Sharoni yafanana neArabha, uye Bhashani neKarimeri dzakurumuka mashizha adzo.
10 Now will I arise, saith the Lord; now will I raise myself; now will I lift myself up.
“Zvino ini ndichasimuka,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Zvino ini ndichakudzwa; zvino ini ndichasimudzirwa pamusoro.
11 Ye shall be pregnant with hay, [and] ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you.
Munoita mimba yehundi, munobereka mashanga; kufema kwenyu ndiwo moto unokuparadzai.
12 And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cut-off thorns shall they blaze up in fire.
Marudzi achapiswa kunge suko; vacharirima kunge huni dzeminzwa dzakatemwa.”
13 Hear, ye distant ones, what I have done; and acknowledge ye that are near my might.
Imi vari kure, inzwai zvandakaita; imi vari pedyo, bvumai kuti ndine simba!
14 In Zion sinners are in dread; trembling hath seized on hypocrites. “Who among us shall abide with the devouring fire? who among us shall abide with everlasting burnings?”
Vatadzi vari muZioni vavhundutswa; vasina Mwari vodedera: “Ndianiko pakati pedu angagare nomoto unopisa nokusingaperi?”
15 He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands against taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears against hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes against looking on evil;
Iye anofamba nokururama uye anotaura zvakanaka, anoramba pfuma inobva pakumanikidza uye anodzivisa ruoko rwake kugamuchira fufuro, anodzivisa nzeve dzake kunzwa rangano dzokuuraya, uye anotsinzina meso ake kuti arege kuona zvakaipa,
16 He shall dwell on high; rocky strongholds shall be his refuge: his bread shall be given him; his water shall be sure.
uyu ndiye munhu achagara pakakwirira, nhare dzegomo dzichava utiziro hwake. Zvokudya zvake achazvipiwa, uye haangashayiwi mvura.
17 The king in his beauty shall thy eyes behold: they shall see a far-off land.
Meso ako achaona mambo pakunaka kwake; uye achatarira nyika yakakura kwazvo.
18 Thy heart shall meditate [on past] terror. “Where is who wrote down? where is he that weighed? where is he that counted the towers?”
Mundangariro dzako ucharangarira zvaimbokutyisa ugoti: “Aripiko muchinda mukuru uya? Aripiko uya aimbotora mutero? Aripiko muchinda aiva mutariri weshongwe?”
19 The barbarous people shalt thou not see any more, the people of a speech too obscure to be understood, of a stammering tongue, without meaning.
Vanhu vaya vokuzvikudza hauchazovaonazve, ivo vanhu vomutauro wakavanzika, vorurimi rwavo, rusinganzwiki.
20 Look on Zion, the town of our solemn assemblies; thy eyes shall see Jerusalem as an undisturbed residence, a tent that shall not be struck for removal; not one of the stakes of which shall ever be moved, and all the cords of which shall never be torn loose.
Tarirai Zioni, iro guta remitambo yedu; meso enyu achaona Jerusarema, ugaro hworunyararo, tende risingazozungunuswi; mbambo dzaro hadzingadzurwi, kana mabote aro kudamburwa.
21 But there will the Lord [show himself] mighty unto us, [in] a place of rivers and streams of ample breadth; wherein no oared galley shall go, and a gallant ship shall not pass thereby.
Asi Jehovha achava Wamasimba Ose kwatiri. Richafanana nenzvimbo yenzizi dzakapamhamha uye nehova. Magwa anokwasviwa haangasvikiko, uye zvikepe zvikuru hazvingapfuuri.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
Nokuti Jehovha ndiye mutongi wedu, Jehovha ndiye anotipa murayiro, Jehovha ndiye mambo wedu; ndiye achatiponesa.
23 Loose hang thy tacklings; they cannot well uphold strongly their mast, they cannot spread the sail. Then are divided booty and spoil in abundance, [even] the lame take the booty.
Mabote ako ava dembutembu: Haagoni kusimbisa mbambo yechikepe, sairi harina kutambanudzwa. Ipapo zvakapambwa zvakawanda zvichagoverwa, uye kunyange chirema chichawanawo zvakapambwa.
24 And no inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be one whose iniquity is forgiven.
Hapana agere muZioni achati, “Ndinorwara,” uye zvivi zvavanogaramo zvicharegererwa.
