< Isaya 11 >

1 Bukira richabva kudzinde raJese; Davi rinobva pamidzi yake richabereka muchero.
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 Mweya waJehovha uchagara pamusoro pake, mweya wouchenjeri newokunzwisisa, mweya wokurayira nowesimba, mweya wokuziva newokutya Jehovha,
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord.
3 uye achafarira kutya Jehovha. Haazotongi nezvaanoona nameso ake, kana kutonga nezvaanonzwa nenzeve dzake,
His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears.
4 asi nokururama achatongera varombo, nokururamisira achatongera vanyoro vapanyika. Acharova nyika neshamhu yomuromo wake; nokufema kwemiromo yake achauraya vakaipa.
Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairness on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips.
5 Kururuma ndiro richava bhanhire rake uye kutendeka bhanhire romuchiuno chake.
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 Bere richagara negwayana, ingwe ichavata pasi nembudzi, mhuru neshumba nezvakakodzwa zvichafura pamwe chete; uye mwana mudiki achazvitungamirira.
Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along.
7 Mhou ichafura nebere, vana vazvo vachavata pasi pamwe chete, uye shumba ichadya uswa senzombe.
Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle.
8 Mwana mucheche achatambira pedyo nomwena wemhakure, uye mwana mudiki achaisa ruoko rwake mumwena wenyoka.
Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den.
9 Hazvingazokuvadzi kana kuparadza pagomo rangu rose dzvene, nokuti nyika ichazara nokuziva Jehovha semvura zhinji inofukidza gungwa.
Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10 Pazuva iro Mudzi waJese uchamira somureza wamarudzi; ndudzi dzichamhanyira kwaari, uye nzvimbo yake yokuzorora ichabwinya.
At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11 Pazuva iro Jehovha achatambanudza ruoko rwake kechipiri kuti adzorezve vakasara ivo vanhu vake vakasiyiwa kubva kuAsiria, kubva zasi kweIjipiti, nokubva kumusoro kweIjipiti nokubva kuEtiopia, nokubva kuEramu, nokubva kuBhabhironi, nokuHamati uye nokubva kuzviwi zvegungwa.
At that time the Lord will act a second time to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands.
12 Achasimudzira marudzi mureza uye achaunganidza vakadzingwa vaIsraeri; achaunganidza vakaparadzirwa vavanhu veJudha, kubva kumativi mana enyika.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
13 Godo raEfuremu richapera uye vavengi vavaJudha vachagurwa; Efuremu haachazovi negodo naJudha, naJudha haangaitire Efuremu hasha.
Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy.
14 Asi vachawira pamusoro pamateru eFiristia kumavirazuva; pamwe chete vachapamba vanhu vokumabvazuva. Vachatora Edomu neMoabhu, uye vaAmoni vachava varanda vavo.
Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects.
15 Jehovha achaomesa chose chikamu chegungwa reIjipiti; nemhepo inopisa achatsvaira noruoko rwake pamusoro peRwizi rweYufuratesi. Acharukamura-kamura agoruita hova nomwe, kuitira kuti vanhu vagone kuyambuka vachienda mhiri vakapfeka shangu.
The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split into seven streams that people can cross easily on foot.
16 Pachava nomugwagwa mukuru wavanhu vake vakasara, vakasiyiwa kubva kuAsiria, sezvazvakanga zviri kuvaIsraeri pavakabva kuIjipiti.
There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.
