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 Jehovah, with his sore and great and strong sword, will visit leviathan the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
2 Pazuva iro, “Imbai nezvomuzambiringa unobereka:
In that day [there shall be] a vineyard of pure wine; sing concerning it:
3 Ini Jehovha ndini ndinouchengeta; ndinoramba ndichiudiridzira. Ndinourinda masikati nousiku kuitira kuti parege kuva neanoukanganisa.
I Jehovah keep it, I will water it every moment; lest any harm it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Handina kutsamwa. Dai paingova nerukato neminzwa zvinorwa neni! Ndaienda kundorwa nazvo; ndaizvipisa zvose nomoto.
Fury is not in me. Oh that I had briars [and] thorns in battle against me! I would march against them, I would burn them together.
5 Kana kuti ngazviuye zvizovanda kwandiri; ngazviyanane neni, hongu, ngazviyanane neni.”
Or let him take hold of my strength; let him make peace with me: [yea, ] let him make peace with me.
6 Mumazuva anouya, Jakobho achadzika midzi, Israeri achabukira uye achatunga maruva, agozadza nyika yose nomuchero,
In the future Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Ko, Jehovha akamurova here sezvaanorova avo vakamurova? Akaurayiwa here sokuurayiwa kwakaitwa avo vakamuuraya?
Hath he smitten him according to the smiting of those that smote him? Is he slain according to the slaughter of those slain by him?
8 Muhondo makarwa naye mukamudzinga, nokurwisa kwake kunotyisa akamudzinga, sezvinoitika pazuva rinovhuvhuta mhepo yokumabvazuva.
In measure, when sending her away, didst thou contend with her: he hath taken [her] away with his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
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.
By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit of the taking away of his sin: when he shall make all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are crumbled in pieces, — the Asherahs and the sun-images shall not stand.
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 is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its boughs.
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 branches are withered they shall be broken off; women shall come [and] set them on fire. For it is a people of no intelligence; therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he who formed them will shew them no favour.
12 Pazuva iro Jehovha achapura kubva panoyerera Yufuratesi kusvikira paRukova rweIjipiti, uye imi vaIsraeri, muchaunganidzwa muchiita mumwe mumwe.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah shall beat out from the flood of the river unto the torrent of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, [ye] children of Israel.
13 Uye pazuva iro hwamanda huru icharira. Vakanga vofira muAsiria uye navaya vakanga vatizira kuIjipiti vachauya kuzonamata Jehovha pamusoro pegomo dzvene riri muJerusarema.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were perishing in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
