Isaya 22
1 Chirevo pamusoro poMupata weChiratidzo: Chii chinokutambudzai zvino, zvokuti mose makwira pamusoro pamatenga edzimba?
THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
2 Haiwa guta rizere nemheremhere, haiwa guta renyonganyonga nokupembera? Vakaurayiwa venyu havana kubayiwa nomunondo, kana kufira muhondo.
The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
3 Vatungamiri vako vose vatiza pamwe chete; vabatwa pasina kushandiswa uta. Mose imi makabatwa mukaitwa vasungwa pamwe chete, kunyange makanga matiza muvengi achiri kure.
All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
4 Naizvozvo ndakati, “Endai kure neni; regai ndicheme kwazvo. Musaedza kundinyaradza pamusoro pokuparadzwa kwavanhu vangu.”
Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
5 Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ane zuva renyonganyonga nerokutsikira pasi nokutyisa muMupata woKuratidza, zuva rokukoromorera masvingo pasi nerokudanidzira kumakomo.
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
6 Eramu anotora goba, pamwe chete navatasvi vamabhiza nengoro; Kiri anofudugura nhoo.
And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
7 Mipata yako yakaisvonaka yakazara nengoro, uye vatasvi vamabhiza vakaiswa pamasuo eguta;
And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
8 kudzivirirwa kweJudha kwakabviswa. Uye pazuva iro makatarira, kuzvombo muMuzinda weSango;
And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
9 makaona kuti Guta raDhavhidhi raiva napakakoromoka pakawanda munzvimbo dzokudzivirira; makazvichengetera mvura muDziva reZasi.
And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
10 Makaverenga dzimba muJerusarema, mukaondomora dzimba kuti musimbise rusvingo.
and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
11 Makavaka gungwa pakati pamasvingo maviri, kuti muchingidzire mvura yomudziva rakare, asi hamuna kutarira kuna Iye akariita, kana kuva nehanya naIye akazvironga kare.
And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
12 Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, akakudaidzai pazuva iro kuti mucheme uye muungudze, kuti mudzure bvudzi renyu uye mufuge masaga.
And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
13 Asi tarirai, kune mufaro nokupembera, kubayiwa kwemombe nokuurayiwa kwamakwai, kudyiwa kwenyama nokunwiwa kwewaini! Munoti, “Ngatidyei uye tinwe, nokuti mangwana tichafa!”
but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
14 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose akazivisa izvi munzeve dzangu achiti, “Kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwako, chivi ichi hachizokanganwirwi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
15 Zvanzi naIshe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Enda, undoti kumutariri uyu, kuna Shebhina, mutariri womuzinda, uti kwaari:
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
16 Uri kuitei pano uye ndiani akakupa mvumo yokuti uzvicherere rinda pano, uchizvivezera rinda rako pakakwirira nokuzvivezera nzvimbo yako yokuzorora mudombo?
and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
17 “Hokoyo, Jehovha ava kuda kukuti dzvi, agokurasira kure, iwe murume wesimba.
Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
18 Achakupomba-pomba sebhora agokukanda munyika yakakura. Ndimo mauchafira, uye ngoro dzako dzine mbiri dzichasara imomo, iwe wokunyadzisa imba yatenzi wako!
and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
19 Ndichakudzinga pabasa rako, uye uchatandaniswa panzvimbo yako.
And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
20 “Pazuva iro ndichadana muranda wangu, Eriakimi mwanakomana waHirikia.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
21 Ndichamupfekedza nguo yako ndigomusimbisa nebhanhire rako uye ndigoisa masimba ako pamusoro pake. Achava baba kuna vagere muJerusarema nokuimba yaJudha.
and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
22 Ndichaisa papfudzi rake kiyi yeimba yaDhavhidhi; chaanenge azarura hapana angapfiga, uye chaanenge apfiga hapana angazarura.
And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
23 Ndichamuroverera sembambo panzvimbo yakasimba; achava chigaro chinokudzwa paimba yababa vake.
And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.
24 Mbiri yeimba yababa vake ichaturikwa paari; matavi namabukira, nemidziyo midiki yose, kubva pamikombe kusvikira pamakate ose.
And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
25 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, “mbambo yakarovererwa panzvimbo yakasimba ichabva; ichatemwa igowisirwa pasi, uye mutoro wakarembera pauri uchatemerwa pasi.” Jehovha ataura izvozvo.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
