Isaya 27
1 Pazuva iro, Jehovha acharanga nomunondo wake, iwo munondo wake mukuru une simba uye unotyisa, Revhiatani nyoka inokurumidza, Revhiatani nyoka inogonyana; achauraya chikara chomugungwa.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 Pazuva iro, “Imbai nezvomuzambiringa unobereka:
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Ini Jehovha ndini ndinouchengeta; ndinoramba ndichiudiridzira. Ndinourinda masikati nousiku kuitira kuti parege kuva neanoukanganisa.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Handina kutsamwa. Dai paingova nerukato neminzwa zvinorwa neni! Ndaienda kundorwa nazvo; ndaizvipisa zvose nomoto.
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Kana kuti ngazviuye zvizovanda kwandiri; ngazviyanane neni, hongu, ngazviyanane neni.”
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Mumazuva anouya, Jakobho achadzika midzi, Israeri achabukira uye achatunga maruva, agozadza nyika yose nomuchero,
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Ko, Jehovha akamurova here sezvaanorova avo vakamurova? Akaurayiwa here sokuurayiwa kwakaitwa avo vakamuuraya?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Muhondo makarwa naye mukamudzinga, nokurwisa kwake kunotyisa akamudzinga, sezvinoitika pazuva rinovhuvhuta mhepo yokumabvazuva.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Zvino nenzira iyi, mhosva yaJakobho ichadzikinurwa, uye izvi zvichava chibereko chakazara chokubviswa kwechivi chake: Paanoita kuti aritari dzose dzifanane namabwe omunyaka akaputswa-putswa, hapana matanda aAshera kana aritari dzezvinonhuhwira zvichasiyiwa zvakamira.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Guta rakakomberedzwa norusvingo rasiyiwa rava dongo, hwava ugaro hwakasiyiwa, kufanana nerenje; mhuru dzofura ikoko, uye ikoko ndiko kwadzinovata; dzinosiya matavi asisina chinhu.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Panooma matavi acho, anovhuniwa, uye vakadzi vanouya vovesa moto nawo. Nokuti vanhu ava havana njere; nokudaro Muiti wavo haachina tsitsi pamusoro pavo, uye Musiki wavo haangavaitiri nyasha.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 Pazuva iro Jehovha achapura kubva panoyerera Yufuratesi kusvikira paRukova rweIjipiti, uye imi vaIsraeri, muchaunganidzwa muchiita mumwe mumwe.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 Uye pazuva iro hwamanda huru icharira. Vakanga vofira muAsiria uye navaya vakanga vatizira kuIjipiti vachauya kuzonamata Jehovha pamusoro pegomo dzvene riri muJerusarema.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
