Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Chengetedzai kururamisira mugoita zvakanaka, nokuti ruponeso rwangu rwava pedyo, uye kururama kwangu kuchakurumidza kuratidzwa.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anoita izvi, munhu anozvibatisisa, anochengeta Sabata asingarisvibisi, uye anodzivisa ruoko rwake kuita chinhu chakaipa.”
3 Neither let the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD will surely separate me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Mutorwa akanamatira kuna Jehovha ngaarege kuti, “Zvirokwazvo Jehovha achandiparadzanisa navanhu vake.” Uye nomuyunaki ngaarege kugununʼuna achiti, “Ndinongova zvangu muti wakaoma.”
4 For thus saith the LORD of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast by my covenant:
Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha: “Kuvayunaki vanochengeta maSabata angu, vanosarudza zvinondifadza, uye vanobatirira pasungano yangu,
5 Unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
kwavari ndichapa, mukati metemberi yangu namasvingo ayo, chirangaridzo nezita riri nani kupfuura vanakomana navanasikana; ndichavapa zita risingaperi, risingazoparadzwi.
6 Also the strangers, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by my covenant;
Uye vatorwa vakazvipira kuna Jehovha kuti vamushumire, kuti vade zita raJehovha, uye vamunamate, vose vanochengeta Sabata vasingarisvibisi vachibatisisa sungano yangu,
7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all peoples.
ivava ndichavauyisa kugomo rangu dzvene ndigovapa mufaro muimba yangu yokunyengetera. Zvipiriso zvavo zvinopiswa nezvibayiro zvichagamuchirwa paaritari yangu; nokuti imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera yendudzi dzose.”
8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather [others] to him, beside his own that are gathered.
Ishe Jehovha anoti, iye anounganidza vakatapwa vaIsraeri, “Ndichaunganidzazve vamwe kwavari, tisingaverengeri avo vakaunganidzwa kare.”
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea], all ye beasts in the forest.
Uyai, imi mose zvikara zvesango, uyai mudye, imi mose zvikara zvesango!
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Nharirire dzeIsraeri mapofu, vose vanoshayiwa zivo; vose imbwa dzisingahukuri, hadzigoni kuhukura; dzinovata pose pose dzichingorota, dzinofarira kuvata.
11 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
Imbwa dzinokara zvikuru; dzisingamboguti. Vafudzi vanoshayiwa kunzwisisa: vose vanotsaukira kunzira yavo pachavo, mumwe nomumwe anotsvaka zvinomupfumisa.
12 Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, [a day] great beyond measure.
Mumwe nomumwe anodanidzira achiti, “Uyai, regai nditore waini! Regai tinwe tigute nedoro! Uye mangwana achafanana nanhasi, kana kutopfuura.”
