Isaya 32
1 Tarirai mambo achatonga nokururama, uye vatongi vachatonga nokururamisira.
BEHOLD, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall 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 an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 Ipapo meso avose vanoona haachazotsinzini, uye nzeve dzavanonzwa dzichateerera.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 Ndangariro dzavanokurumidzira zvinhu dzichaziva uye dzichanzwisisa, uye vanokakama vachataura zvakanaka uye zvinonzwika.
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Benzi harichazonzi munhu anokudzwa, munhu asina maturo haazoremekedzwi.
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
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 vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Nzira dzousina maturo dzakaipa, anoita rangano dzakaipa kuti aparadze varombo nenhema, kunyange chichemo chaanoshayiwa chakanaka hacho.
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 Asi munhu anokudzwa anoita urongwa hwakanaka, uye namabasa anokudzwa.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9 Imi vakadzi musina hanya, simukai muteerere kwandiri; imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka, inzwai zvandinoreva!
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Gore risati rapera muchabvunda iyemi munoti makachengetedzeka; nokuti kuchekwa kwamazambiringa kuchakundikana, uye kutanhwa kwemichero hakuchasviki.
Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Dederai, imi vakadzi musina hanya; dederai imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka! Bvisai nguo dzenyu, monerai masaga muzviuno zvenyu.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 Muzvirove zvipfuva nokuda kweminda yakanaka, nokuda kwezvibereko zvemizambiringa,
They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
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 come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14 Nhare dzichasiyiwa, guta roruzha richasara risina munhu; nhare neshongwe zvichava dongo nokusingaperi, mufaro wembongoro, namafuro ezvipfuwo,
Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture 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 wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Kururamisira kuchagara kugwenga uye kururama kuchagara kumunda wakaorera.
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 Chibereko chokururama chichava rugare; uye chibereko chokururama chichava runyararo nokuvimba nokusingaperi.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18 Vanhu vangu vachagara munzvimbo dzorugare, mumisha yakachengetedzeka, munzvimbo dzokuzorora dzakadzikama.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 Kunyange chimvuramabwe chikafukidza sango, neguta rikaparadzwa zvachose,
When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 ucharopafadzwa zvakadiniko, uchidyara mbeu dzako pedyo nehova dzose, uye uchirega mombe nembongoro dzako zvichifura zvakasununguka!
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
