Isaiah 42
1 "Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Ruach on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
“Tarirai muranda wangu, wandinotsigira, musanangurwa wangu wandinofarira; Ndichaisa Mweya wangu pamusoro pake, uye achavigira ndudzi kururamisirwa.
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
Haazodanidziri kana kuridza mhere, kana kusimudza inzwi munzira dzomuguta.
3 He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
Rutsanga rwakapwanyika haangaruvhuni, uye nomwenje unopfungaira haazoudzimi. Mukutendeka, achavigira vanhu kururamisira;
4 He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
haangakoniwi uye haangaperi simba kusvikira asimbisa kururamisirwa panyika. Zviwi zvichaisa tariro yazvo mumurayiro wake.”
5 Thus says God, the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
Zvanzi naMwari Jehovha, iye akasika matenga akaatatamura, akatambanudza nyika nezvose zvinobuda mairi, anopa kufema kuvanhu vayo, noupenyu kuna avo vanofamba pamusoro payo:
6 "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
“Ini, Jehovha, ndakakudana mukururama; ndichabata ruoko rwako. Ndichakuchengeta ndigokuita kuti uve sungano yavanhu nechiedza kune veDzimwe Ndudzi,
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
kuti usvinudze meso asingaoni, usunungure vakasungwa mutorongo uye usunungure vari mugomba, avo vagere murima.
8 "I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
“Ndini Jehovha; ndiro zita rangu! Handizopi kukudzwa kwangu kuno mumwe, kana kurumbidzwa kwangu kuzvifananidzo.
9 Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
Tarira, zvinhu zvakare zvaitika, uye ndiri kutaura zvinhu zvitsva; izvo zvisati zvavapo ndinozvizivisa kwamuri.”
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, murumbidzei kubva kumagumo enyika, imi munoburukira kugungwa, nezvose zviri mariri, imi zviwi, navose vanogaramo.
11 Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Gwenga namaguta aro ngazvidanidzire; nzvimbo dzinogara Kedhari ngadzifare. Vanhu veSera ngavaimbe nomufaro; ngavapururudze pamusoro pemakomo.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Ngavape rukudzo kuna Jehovha uye vaparidze rumbidzo yake kuzviwi.
13 The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
Jehovha achabuda somunhu ane simba, semhare, achamutsa kushingaira kwake; nokudanidzira, achamutsa kurwa uye achakunda vavengi vake.
14 "I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
“Nokuti ndanga ndakanyarara kwenguva refu, ndanga ndinyerere uye ndichizvidzora. Asi zvino kufanana nomukadzi ari kusununguka, ndiri kudanidzira, ndiri kufemedzeka nokutakwaira.
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Ndichaparadza makomo nezvikomo, uye ndichaomesa zvose zvawo zvinomera; ndichashandura nzizi dzikava zviwi, uye madziva ndichaaomesa.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
Ndichatungamirira mapofu nenzira dzavasingazivi, nomumakwara avasina kuziva, ndichavatungamirira; ndichashandura rima rikava chiedza pamberi pavo uye ndichaita kuti nzvimbo dzakaipa dziti chechetere. Izvi ndizvo zvinhu zvandichaita; handizovasiya.
17 "Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
Asi ivo vanovimba nezvifananidzo, vanoti kune zvakaumbwa, ‘Ndimi vamwari vedu,’ vachadzoserwa shure mukunyadziswa kukuru.
18 "Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
“Inzwai, imi matsi; tarirai, imi mapofu, muone!
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD's servant?
Ndianiko bofu, asi muranda wangu, uye matsi kufanana nenhume yandinotuma? Ndianiko bofu rakafanana naiye akazvipira kwandiri, kana bofu rakafanana nomuranda waJehovha?
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
Wakaona zvinhu zvizhinji, asi hauna kuva nehanya; nzeve dzako dzakazaruka, asi hauna chaunonzwa.”
21 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
Zvakafadza Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, kuti akudze murayiro wake uye aubwinyise.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
Asi ava ndivo vanhu vakapambwa uye vakabirwa, vose vakasungwa mumakomba kana kuti vakavanzwa mumatorongo. Vakava vabatwa, pasina anovarwira; vakaitwa chinhu chakapambwa, pasina anoti, “Vadzoserei kwavakabva.”
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Ndiani pakati penyu achateerera izvi, kana kurerekera nzeve dzake zvikuru panguva inouya?
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
Ndiani akarega Jakobho achipambwa, akaendesa Israeri kuvapambi? Akanga asiri Jehovha here, iye watakatadzira? Nokuti havana kuda kutevera nzira dzake; havana kuteerera murayiro wake.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
Naizvozvo akadururira hasha dzake dzinopisa pamusoro pavo, iro bongozozo rehondo. Rakavaputira muvira romoto, asi havana kunzwisisa; rakavapisa, asi mwoyo yavo yakashaya hanya nazvo.
