Isaya 24
1 Tarirai, Jehovha ari kuzoparadza nyika achiiparadza zvachose; achanyangadza kutarisika kwayo uye achaparadzira vanogaramo,
Khangela, iNkosi yenza umhlaba ube yize, iwenze ube yincithakalo, yone ubuso bawo, ihlakaze abahlali bawo.
2 zvichangofanana, zvinoitirwa muprista nezvinoitirwa vanhu, zvinoitirwa vatenzi nezvinoitirwa muranda, zvinoitirwa vahosi nezvinoitirwa mushandiri, zvinoitirwa mutengesi nezvinoitirwa mutengi, zvinoitirwa anokwereta nezvinoitirwa akweretwa, zvinoitirwa anoripa mhindu nezvinoitirwa anoreva mhindu.
Kuzakuthi njengabantu kube njalo umpristi; njengesisebenzi kube njalo inkosi yaso; njengencekukazi kube njalo inkosikazi yayo; njengomthengi kube njalo umthengisi; njengombolekisi kube njalo obolekayo; njengomniki wesikwelede kube njalo okweledayo.
3 Nyika ichaparadzwa zvachose uye ichatorerwa zvayo zvose. Jehovha ataura shoko irori.
Umhlaba uzachitheka lokuchitheka, uphangwe lokuphangwa; ngoba iNkosi ilikhulumile lelilizwi.
4 Nyika inooma uye inosvava, pasi pose panorwadziwa uye panounyana, vanokudzwa venyika vanopera simba uye vanorwadziwa.
Umhlaba uyalila, ubune, ilizwe liyadangala, libune; abantu bomhlaba abaphakemeyo bayadangala.
5 Nyika inosvibiswa navanhu vayo; havana kuteerera mirayiro, vakapandukira mitemo uye vakaputsa sungano isingaperi.
Umhlaba lawo ungcolisiwe ngaphansi kwabahlali bawo; ngoba beqile imilayo, baguqula isimiso, bephula isivumelwano esilaphakade.
6 Naizvozvo chituko chinoparadza nyika, vanhu vayo vanofanira kuzvitakurira mhosva dzavo. Naizvozvo vagari vomunyika vapiswa, uye vashoma ndivo vasara.
Ngenxa yalokho isiqalekiso siwuqedile umhlaba, labahlala kuwo bayachitheka; ngakho-ke abahlali bomhlaba batshisiwe, njalo kusale abantu abalutshwana.
7 Waini itsva inopera uye muzambiringa unosvava; vose vanoda mafaro vanogomera.
Iwayini elitsha liyalila, ivini lidangale, bonke abanhliziyo ethokozayo bayabubula.
8 Kufadza kwamakandira kwanyaradzwa, kupembera kwavapururudzi kwapera, rudimbwa rwomufaro rwanyaradzwa.
Injabulo yezigubhu iphelile, umsindo wabajabulayo uphelile, intokozo yechacho iphelile.
9 Havangazonwi waini vachiimba rwiyo; doro rava kuvava kuvanwi varo.
Kabayikunatha iwayini ngengoma; okunathwayo okulamandla kuzababa kwabakunathayo.
10 Guta rakoromorwa rava dongo; mukova wokupinda mudzimba dzose wapfigwa.
Umuzi wencithakalo ubhidlikile, yonke indlu ivaliwe ukuze kungangenwa.
11 Vochemera waini mumigwagwa; mufaro wose washanduka wava kusuwa, mupururu wabviswa panyika.
Kukhalelwa iwayini ezitaladeni; intokozo yonke ifiphele, injabulo yomhlaba inyamalele.
12 Guta rasara rava dongo, masuo aro aputswa-putswa.
Emzini kusele incithakalo, lesango litshayiwe lachithwa.
13 Ndizvo zvazvichaita munyika napakati pendudzi, zvichafanana nokuzunzwa kwomuorivhi, kana sezvinosara pakunongwa shure kwegohwo ramazambiringa.
Ngoba kuzakuba njalo phakathi kwelizwe, phakathi kwabantu, njengokunyikinywa kwesihlahla somhlwathi, njengokukhothoza sesiphelile isivuno sezithelo zevini.
14 Vanosimudza manzwi avo, vanopururudza nomufaro; kubva kumavirira vanoparidza zvoukuru hwaJehovha.
Bona bazaphakamisa ilizwi labo, bazahlabelela ubukhosi beNkosi, bamemeze beselwandle.
15 Naizvozvo kumabvazuva, mbiri kuna Jehovha; kudzai zita raJehovha Mwari waIsraeri pazviwi zvegungwa.
Ngenxa yalokhu dumisani iNkosi emililweni, ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ezihlengeni zolwandle.
16 Kubva kumigumo yenyika tinonzwa kuimba kunoti: “Ngaakudzwe iye Akarurama.” Asi ini ndakati, “Ndiri kupera muviri, ndiri kupera muviri! Ndine nhamo! Vanyengeri vakaita zvinhu nokunyengera! Vanyengeri vakaita zvinhu nokunyengera kukuru!”
Sizwile amahubo avela emkhawulweni womhlaba, udumo kolungileyo. Kodwa ngathi: Ukucaka kwami, ukucaka kwami! Maye kimi! Abenzi benkohliso benze ngokukhohlisa; yebo abenzi benkohliso benze ngokukhohlisa okukhulu.
17 Kutya negomba zvakakumirirai, imi vanhu vapanyika.
Ukwesaba lomgodi lomjibila kuphezu kwakho, wena mhlali womhlaba.
18 Ani naani anotiza kutinhira kunotyisa, achawira mugomba; ani naani anokwira achibuda mugomba achabatwa mumusungo. Nokuti mawindo okudenga azaruka, uye nheyo dzapanyika dzozungunuka.
Kuzakuthi-ke obalekela umsindo wokwesaba awele emgodini; lowenyuka phakathi komgodi abanjwe ngumjibila; ngoba amawindi aphezulu avulekile, lezisekelo zomhlaba ziyaqhaqhazela.
19 Nyika yaputswa-putswa, nyika yakamurwa napakati, nyika yozungunuswa chose.
Umhlaba wephukile lokwephuka, umhlaba udatshudatshuliwe, umhlaba uyanyikinyeka kakhulu.
20 Nyika yodzedzereka sechidhakwa, inozengaira semba iri mumhepo; kudarika nokumukira kwayo kwairemera kwazvo, zvokuti inowa, ikasazomukazve.
Umhlaba uzadiyazela lokudiyazela njengesidakwa, uzunguzeke njengedumba; lesiphambeko sawo sizakuba nzima phezu kwawo; uzakuwa, ungabe usavuka futhi.
21 Pazuva iro Jehovha acharanga masimba omuchadenga kumusoro, uye namadzimambo ari pamusoro penyika pasi.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi ijezise ibutho labaphakemeyo abaphezulu, lamakhosi omhlaba phezu komhlaba.
22 Vachaunganidzwa pamwe chete kufanana navasungwa vakasungwa mugomba; vachapfigirwa mutorongo vagozorangwa kwamazuva mazhinji.
Bazabuthelwa ndawonye njengezibotshwa zibuthelwa emgodini, bavalelwe entolongweni, langemva kwensuku ezinengi bethekelelwe.
23 Mwedzi uchanyadziswa, zuva richanyara; nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achatonga pamusoro peGomo reZioni nomuJerusarema, napamberi pavakuru varo, nokubwinya kukuru.
Khona inyanga izayangeka, lelanga libe lenhloni, ngoba iNkosi yamabandla iyabusa entabeni iZiyoni laseJerusalema, laphambi kwabadala kuzakuba khona inkazimulo.
