Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
“Imba, iwe mukadzi asina mwana, iwe usina kumbobereka mwana pururudza uimbe rwiyo, pembera nomufaro, iwe usina kumborwadziwa; nokuti vana vomukadzi akasiyiwa ari oga vazhinji kupfuura veane murume,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
Wedzera nzvimbo yetende rako, tambanudza micheka yetende rako ifare, usarega kuita izvozvo; rebesa tambo dzako, simbisa mbambo dzako.
3 For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
Nokuti uchapararira kurudyi nokuruboshwe; vana vako vachatorera dzimwe ndudzi uye vachagara mumatongo amaguta avo.
4 “Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
“Usatya hako: haunganyadziswi. Usatya kunyadziswa; haunganinipiswi. Uchakanganwa nyadzi dzapaudiki hwako, uye hauzorangaririzve kunyadzisa kwouchirikadzi hwako.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
Nokuti Muiti wako ndiye murume wako, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake, Mutsvene waIsraeri ndiye Mudzikinuri wako; anonzi Mwari wenyika yose.
6 For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
Jehovha achakudanazve sokunge wanga uri mukadzi akasiyiwa, uye anotambudzika pamweya, mukadzi akawanikwa achiri mudiki, pedzezvo ndokurambwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wako.
7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
“Kwechinguvana ndakakusiya, asi netsitsi huru ndikakudzosazve.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
Ndichisundwa nehasha ndakavanza chiso changu kwauri kwechinguva, asi nounyoro husingaperi ndichava netsitsi, pamusoro pako,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mudzikinuri wako.
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
“Kwandiri izvi zvakafanana namazuva aNoa, pandakapika kuti mvura zhinji yaNoa haizofukidzizve nyika. Naizvozvo zvino ndapika kuti ndirege kukutsamwira, kana kukutukazve.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
Kunyange makomo akazungunuswa, uye zvikomo zvikabviswa, rudo rwangu rusingaperi harungazungunuswi, uye sungano yangu yorugare haingabviswi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha anokunzwira tsitsi.
11 “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
“Haiwa, iwe guta rokutambudzika wakarohwa nedutu ukasanyaradzwa, ndichakuvaka namabwe ana mavara, nheyo dzako namabwe esafire.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
Ndichakuitira zviruvi zvamabwe matsvuku, masuo amabwe anovaima, uye masvingo ako ose amabwe anokosha.
13 All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
Vanakomana venyu vose vachadzidziswa naJehovha, uye rugare rwavana venyu ruchava rukuru.
14 You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Muchasimbiswa mukururama: Kumanikidzwa kuchava kure nemi: hapana chamuchazotya. Kutya kuchava kure nemi; hakuchazosviki pedyo nemi.
15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
Kana mumwe akakurwisa, handisini ndinenge ndazviita; ani naani anokurwisa achazvipira kwauri.
16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
“Tarira, ndini ndakasika mupfuri wesimbi anopfutidza mazimbe moto ugonganduma, uye anopfura munondo wakakodzera pabasa rawo. Uye ndini ndakasika muparadzi kuti aparadze;
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
hapana munondo ucharwisana newe ukakunda, uye uchakonesa rurimi rumwe norumwe runokupomera mhosva. Iyi ndiyo nhaka yavaranda vaJehovha, uye uku ndiko kururamisirwa kwavo kunobva kwandiri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
