Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Tarirai, Jehovha ari kuzoparadza nyika achiiparadza zvachose; achanyangadza kutarisika kwayo uye achaparadzira vanogaramo,
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
zvichangofanana, zvinoitirwa muprista nezvinoitirwa vanhu, zvinoitirwa vatenzi nezvinoitirwa muranda, zvinoitirwa vahosi nezvinoitirwa mushandiri, zvinoitirwa mutengesi nezvinoitirwa mutengi, zvinoitirwa anokwereta nezvinoitirwa akweretwa, zvinoitirwa anoripa mhindu nezvinoitirwa anoreva mhindu.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
Nyika ichaparadzwa zvachose uye ichatorerwa zvayo zvose. Jehovha ataura shoko irori.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.
Nyika inooma uye inosvava, pasi pose panorwadziwa uye panounyana, vanokudzwa venyika vanopera simba uye vanorwadziwa.
5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Nyika inosvibiswa navanhu vayo; havana kuteerera mirayiro, vakapandukira mitemo uye vakaputsa sungano isingaperi.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Naizvozvo chituko chinoparadza nyika, vanhu vayo vanofanira kuzvitakurira mhosva dzavo. Naizvozvo vagari vomunyika vapiswa, uye vashoma ndivo vasara.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
Waini itsva inopera uye muzambiringa unosvava; vose vanoda mafaro vanogomera.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Kufadza kwamakandira kwanyaradzwa, kupembera kwavapururudzi kwapera, rudimbwa rwomufaro rwanyaradzwa.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Havangazonwi waini vachiimba rwiyo; doro rava kuvava kuvanwi varo.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Guta rakoromorwa rava dongo; mukova wokupinda mudzimba dzose wapfigwa.
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Vochemera waini mumigwagwa; mufaro wose washanduka wava kusuwa, mupururu wabviswa panyika.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Guta rasara rava dongo, masuo aro aputswa-putswa.
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the grape gleanings when the vintage is done.
Ndizvo zvazvichaita munyika napakati pendudzi, zvichafanana nokuzunzwa kwomuorivhi, kana sezvinosara pakunongwa shure kwegohwo ramazambiringa.
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of the LORD they cry aloud from the sea.
Vanosimudza manzwi avo, vanopururudza nomufaro; kubva kumavirira vanoparidza zvoukuru hwaJehovha.
15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.
Naizvozvo kumabvazuva, mbiri kuna Jehovha; kudzai zita raJehovha Mwari waIsraeri pazviwi zvegungwa.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
Kubva kumigumo yenyika tinonzwa kuimba kunoti: “Ngaakudzwe iye Akarurama.” Asi ini ndakati, “Ndiri kupera muviri, ndiri kupera muviri! Ndine nhamo! Vanyengeri vakaita zvinhu nokunyengera! Vanyengeri vakaita zvinhu nokunyengera kukuru!”
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Kutya negomba zvakakumirirai, imi vanhu vapanyika.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Ani naani anotiza kutinhira kunotyisa, achawira mugomba; ani naani anokwira achibuda mugomba achabatwa mumusungo. Nokuti mawindo okudenga azaruka, uye nheyo dzapanyika dzozungunuka.
19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Nyika yaputswa-putswa, nyika yakamurwa napakati, nyika yozungunuswa chose.
20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall be moved to and fro like a hut; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Nyika yodzedzereka sechidhakwa, inozengaira semba iri mumhepo; kudarika nokumukira kwayo kwairemera kwazvo, zvokuti inowa, ikasazomukazve.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Pazuva iro Jehovha acharanga masimba omuchadenga kumusoro, uye namadzimambo ari pamusoro penyika pasi.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Vachaunganidzwa pamwe chete kufanana navasungwa vakasungwa mugomba; vachapfigirwa mutorongo vagozorangwa kwamazuva mazhinji.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Mwedzi uchanyadziswa, zuva richanyara; nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achatonga pamusoro peGomo reZioni nomuJerusarema, napamberi pavakuru varo, nokubwinya kukuru.
