Isaya 32
1 Tarirai mambo achatonga nokururama, uye vatongi vachatonga nokururamisira.
Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shell rule in judgment.
2 Munhu mumwe nomumwe achafanana nenzvimbo yokuvanda kubva kumhepo, noutiziro kubva pakunaya kwemvura zhinji, sehova dzemvura mugwenga nomumvuri webwe guru munyika yafa nenyota.
And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.
3 Ipapo meso avose vanoona haachazotsinzini, uye nzeve dzavanonzwa dzichateerera.
The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.
4 Ndangariro dzavanokurumidzira zvinhu dzichaziva uye dzichanzwisisa, uye vanokakama vachataura zvakanaka uye zvinonzwika.
And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.
5 Benzi harichazonzi munhu anokudzwa, munhu asina maturo haazoremekedzwi.
The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
6 Nokuti benzi rinotaura zvoupenzi, ndangariro dzaro dzinofunga zvakaipa: Zvaanoita hazvina umwari uye anoparadzira zvinhu zvakarasika zvisiri zvaJehovha; anosiya vane nzara vasina chinhu uye anonyima mvura vane nyota.
For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.
7 Nzira dzousina maturo dzakaipa, anoita rangano dzakaipa kuti aparadze varombo nenhema, kunyange chichemo chaanoshayiwa chakanaka hacho.
The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
8 Asi munhu anokudzwa anoita urongwa hwakanaka, uye namabasa anokudzwa.
But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
9 Imi vakadzi musina hanya, simukai muteerere kwandiri; imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka, inzwai zvandinoreva!
Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 Gore risati rapera muchabvunda iyemi munoti makachengetedzeka; nokuti kuchekwa kwamazambiringa kuchakundikana, uye kutanhwa kwemichero hakuchasviki.
For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.
11 Dederai, imi vakadzi musina hanya; dederai imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka! Bvisai nguo dzenyu, monerai masaga muzviuno zvenyu.
Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird your loins.
12 Muzvirove zvipfuva nokuda kweminda yakanaka, nokuda kwezvibereko zvemizambiringa,
Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.
13 uye nokuda kwenyika yavanhu vangu, nyika yamera minzwa norukato, hongu, mucheme nokuda kwedzimba dzose dzamafaro, uye nokuda kweguta rinopururudza iri.
Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?
14 Nhare dzichasiyiwa, guta roruzha richasara risina munhu; nhare neshongwe zvichava dongo nokusingaperi, mufaro wembongoro, namafuro ezvipfuwo,
For the house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever. A joy of wild asses, the pastures of flocks,
15 kusvikira Mweya wadururirwa pamusoro pedu uchibva kumusoro, uye gwenga rava nyika yakaorera, nemunda wakaorera wava sesango.
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest.
16 Kururamisira kuchagara kugwenga uye kururama kuchagara kumunda wakaorera.
And judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.
17 Chibereko chokururama chichava rugare; uye chibereko chokururama chichava runyararo nokuvimba nokusingaperi.
And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.
18 Vanhu vangu vachagara munzvimbo dzorugare, mumisha yakachengetedzeka, munzvimbo dzokuzorora dzakadzikama.
And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.
19 Kunyange chimvuramabwe chikafukidza sango, neguta rikaparadzwa zvachose,
But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.
20 ucharopafadzwa zvakadiniko, uchidyara mbeu dzako pedyo nehova dzose, uye uchirega mombe nembongoro dzako zvichifura zvakasununguka!
Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, sending thither the foot of the ox and the ass.
