Isaiah 58
1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
“Danidzira nesimba, usanyarara. Simudza inzwi rako sehwamanda. Paridzira vanhu vangu kupanduka kwavo, neimba yaJakobho zvivi zvavo.
2 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
Nokuti zuva nezuva vanonditsvaka; vanoita savane chido chokuziva nzira dzangu, kunge vanga vari rudzi runoita zvakanaka uye rusina kusiya mirayiro yaMwari wavo. Vanondikumbira kutonga kwakarurama sokunge vanofarira kuti Mwari auye pedyo navo.
3 Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
Vanoti, ‘Takatsanyireiko, uye imi mukasazviona? Takazvininipisireiko, imi mukasazviona?’ “Asi pazuva rokutsanya kwenyu munoita zvamunoda muchimanikidza vashandi venyu.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
Kutsanya kwenyu kunogumisira mukukakavadzana nemhirizhonga, uye kurovana netsiva dzakaipisisa. Hamungatsanyi sezvamunoita mazuva ano, mugotarisira kuti inzwi renyu richanzwika kumusoro.
5 Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
Ko, ndiko here kutsanya kwandakasarudza, zuva rimwe chete rokuti munhu azvininipise? Ndezvokukotamisa musoro chete sorushanga here, nokungovata pamusoro penguo dzamasaga namadota? Ndiko kwamunoti kutsanya here, pazuva rinodikanwa naJehovha?
6 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
“Uku handiko kutsanya kwandakasarudza here: Kusunungura ngetani dzokusaruramisira nokusunungura zvitirobho zvejoko, kusunungura vakamanikidzwa nokuvhuna joko rimwe nerimwe?
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Hakuzi kugoverana zvokudya zvako nevane nzara, nokupa varombo vanodzungaira pokugara here, paunoona vakashama, kuvapfekedza, uye kusafuratira venyama neropa rako?
8 Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
Ipapo chiedza chako chichabuda samambakwedza, uye kuporeswa kwako kucharatidzwa nokukurumidza; ipapo kururama kwako kuchakutungamirira, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kuchakurinda mumashure.
9 Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
Ipapo uchadana, Jehovha achakupindura; uchadanidzira uchida rubatsiro, uye iye achati: Ndiri pano. “Kana ukabvisa joko roudzvinyiriri, kutendeka nomunwe nokutaura kwakaipa,
10 And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
uye ukapa zvokudya zvako kune vane nzara uye ukagutsa vakamanikidzwa pakushaya kwavo, ipapo chiedza chako chichabuda murima, uye usiku hwako huchashanduka hukafanana namasikati.
11 And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
Jehovha achakutungamirira nguva dzose; achakugutsa pakushaya kwako munyika yakapiswa nezuva uye achasimbisa mapfupa ako. Uchafanana nebindu rinodiridzwa nemvura yetsime, sechitubu chine mvura isingapwi.
12 And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
Vanhu vako vachavakazve matongo akare vachasimudza nheyo dzakare; iwe uchanzi Mugadziri waMasvingo Akakoromoka, Muvandudzi weMigwagwa ine Dzimba.
13 If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
“Kana ukachengeta tsoka dzako kuti dzisaputsa Sabata, uye kuti dzisaita zvinokufadza iwe pazuva rangu dzvene, kana ukati Sabata izuva rinofadza, uye ukati zuva dzvene raJehovha izuva rinokudzwa, uye kana ukarikudza nokusafamba munzira yako, uye usingaiti zvinokufadza kana kutaura mashoko asina maturo,
14 Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
ipapo uchawana mufaro wako muna Jehovha, uye ndichakuita kuti ukwire pakakwirira penyika, uye ndichakugutsa nenhaka yababa vako Jakobho.” Muromo waJehovha wazvitaura.
