Isaya 19
1 Chirevo pamusoro peIjipiti: Tarirai, Jehovha akatasva gore rinomhanya, uye ari kuuya kuIjipiti. Zvifananidzo zveIjipiti zviri kudedera pamberi pake, uye mwoyo yavaIjipita yonyungudika mukati mavo.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
2 “Ndichakuchidzira kumukirana pakati pavaIjipita, mununʼuna acharwa nomukoma, muvakidzani acharwa nowaakavakidzana naye, guta richarwisana nerimwe guta, umambo hucharwisana nohumwe umambo.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 VaIjipita vachaora mwoyo, uye ndichaita kuti zvavanoronga zvive pasina; vachabvunza zvifananidzo nemweya yavakafa, nokumasvikiro navavuki.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
4 Ndichaisa vaIjipita mumaoko amambo ano utsinye uye mambo anotyisa achatonga pamusoro pavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Mvura yomurwizi ichapwa, uye mahombekombe erwizi achapwa agova akaoma.
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6 Migero ichanhuhwa; hova dzeIjipiti dzichaderera uye dzichapwa. Tsanga nenhokwe zvichauna,
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7 uyewo zvinomera zvichitevedza Nairi, pamuromo werwizi. Minda yose yakadyarwa mujinga meNairi ichaoma, mbesa dzichapeperetswa nemhepo, hazvingazovapozve.
The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Vabati vehove vachagomera uye vagorira, vose vanokanda zviredzo muna Nairi; vaya vanokanda mimbure pamusoro pemvura vacharukutika.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Vanobata neshinda yakanaka vachapera simba, varuki vemicheka yakanaka vachashaya tariro.
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 Vanobata nemicheka vachaora mwoyo, uye vose vanobatira mubayiro vacharwadziwa mwoyo.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
11 Machinda eZoani haasi chinhu asi mapenzi; makurukota aFaro akachenjera anopa zano risina mano. Mungareva sei kuna Faro, kuti, “Ndini mumwe wavakachenjera, mudzidzi wamadzimambo akare?”
The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
12 Zvino vakachenjera venyu varipiko? Ngavakuratidzei uye vakuzivisei zvakafungwa naJehovha Wamasimba Ose pamusoro peIjipiti.
Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
13 Machinda eZoani ava mapenzi, vatungamiri veMemufisi vanyengerwa; mabwe ekona amarudzi avo atsausa Ijipiti.
The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
14 Jehovha akadururira mavari mweya wedzungu; vanoita kuti Ijipiti idzedzereke mune zvose zvainoita, sezvinoita chidhakwa chinodzedzereka mumarutsi acho.
The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 Hapana chingaitwa neIjipiti, musoro kana muswe, davi romuchindwe kana rushanga.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
16 Pazuva iro, vaIjipita vachafanana navakadzi. Vachadedera nokutya panosimudzwa ruoko rwaJehovha Wamasimba Ose pamusoro pavo.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
17 Uye nyika yeJudha ichava chinhu chinotyisa kuvaIjipita; mumwe nomumwe achanzwa nezvaJudha achatya, nokuda kwezvinofungwa naJehovha Wamasimba Ose pamusoro pavo.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
18 Pazuva iro, maguta mashanu omuIjipiti achataura mutauro weKenani uye vachapikira vachazvipira kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose. Rimwe racho richanzi Guta roKuparadza.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
19 Pazuva iro, pachava nearitari kuna Jehovha mukati chaimo meIjipiti, nembiru kuna Jehovha pamuganhu wayo.
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
20 Ichava chiratidzo nechapupu kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose munyika yeIjipiti. Pavanodanidzira kuna Jehovha nokuda kwavamanikidzi vavo, achavatumira muponesi nomurwiri, ipapo achavanunura.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
21 Saka Jehovha achazviratidza kuvaIjipita, uye pazuva iro vachaziva Jehovha. Vachanamata nezvibayiro uye nezvipiriso zvezviyo; vachaita mhiko kuna Jehovha uye vagodzichengeta.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
22 Jehovha acharova Ijipiti nehosha; acharova agovarapazve. Vachatendeukira kuna Jehovha, uye achapindura mikumbiro yavo nokuvarapa.
And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
23 Pazuva iro, pachava nenzira huru ichabva kuIjipiti ichienda kuAsiria. VaAsiria vachaenda kuIjipiti uye vaIjipita vachaendawo kuAsiria. VaIjipita navaAsiria vachanamata pamwe chete.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 Pazuva iro Israeri ichava yechitatu, ichitevera Ijipiti neAsiria, ichava ropafadzo panyika.
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
25 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achavaropafadza achiti, “Ngavaropafadzwe vaIjipita vanhu vangu, navaAsiria, basa ramaoko angu, navaIsraeri, nhaka yangu.”
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
