Isaya 16
1 Tumirai mutero wamakwayana kumutongi wenyika, kubva kuSera, zvichiyambukira kurenje, kugomo roMwanasikana weZioni.
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Kufanana neshiri dzadzungaira dzichisundidzirwa kubva mudendere, ndizvo zvakaita vakadzi veMoabhu pamazambuko eAmoni.
For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
3 “Tipeiwo zano, ruramisirai. Ita mumvuri wako kuti ufanane nousiku, pamasikati makuru. Viga vatizi, usapandukira vapoteri.
Give counsel. Execute justice. Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday. Hide the outcasts. Do not betray the fugitive.
4 Rega vatizi veMoabhu vagare newe, iva utiziro hwavo kubva kumuparadzi.” Mutambudzi achasvika kumagumo, uye kuparadza kuchapera; mudenhi achatsakatika panyika.
Let my outcasts dwell with you. As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Murudo, chigaro choushe chichasimbiswa; mukutendeka, munhu achagarapo, mumwe anobva kuimba yaDhavhidhi, uyo anoti achitonga anotsvaka kururamisira, uye achikurumidza kuita zvakarurama.
A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Takanzwa nezvokuzvikudza kwaMoabhu, namanyawi ake makuru uye kuzvida kwake, kuzvikudza kwake nokuvirima kwake, asi kuzvirumbidza kwake hakuna maturo.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
7 Naizvozvo vaMoabhu voungudza, vanoungudzira Moabhu pamwe chete. Chemai musuwe nokuda kwavarume veKiri Hareseti.
Ah, let not Moab wail; let everyone wail for Moab. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
8 Minda yeHeshibhoni yaoma uye mazambiringa eSibhima aomawo. Vatongi vendudzi vatsika-tsika mizambiringa yakaisvonaka, iyo yaimbosvika kuJazeri uye yaitandira yakananga kurenje. Mabukira ayo aitandira kusvika kugungwa.
For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
9 Saka ndinochema, sokuchema kweJazeri, nokuda kwemizambiringa yeSibhima. Haiwa Heshibhoni, haiwa Ereare, ndichakudiridza nemisodzi! Ruzha rwomufaro pamusoro pemizambiringa yakaibva napamusoro pezvamakakohwa rwanyaradzwa.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
10 Mufaro nokufarisisa zvabviswa paminda yemizambiringa; hapana anoimba kana kuita ruzha muminda yemizambiringa; hapana anosvina waini pazvisviniro, nokuti ndagumisa ruzha rwacho.
Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing and there will be no jubilant shouting. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
11 Mwoyo wangu unorira nokuda kwaMoabhu, kufanana nokurira kwembira, mukati kati mangu munorira nokuda kweKiri Hareseti.
Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
12 Zvino kana Moabhu achizviratidza panzvimbo dzake dzakakwirira, anenge achingozvinetsa pachake; paanoenda kuimba yake kunonyengetera, zvinenge zvisina chazvinobatsira,
It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
13 Iri ndiro shoko rakataurwa kare naJehovha pamusoro peMoabhu.
This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
14 Asi zvino Jehovha anoti, “Makore matatu asati apfuura, sokuverengwa kwaangaitwa nomuranda akazvisunga kubatira mubayiro, kukudzwa kweMoabhu navanhu vake vose vakawanda kuchazvidzwa, uye vakapunyuka vake vachava vashoma kwazvo uye vasina simba.”
But now the LORD has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble."
