Isaya 32
1 Tarirai mambo achatonga nokururama, uye vatongi vachatonga nokururamisira.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 Munhu mumwe nomumwe achafanana nenzvimbo yokuvanda kubva kumhepo, noutiziro kubva pakunaya kwemvura zhinji, sehova dzemvura mugwenga nomumvuri webwe guru munyika yafa nenyota.
And every one shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.
3 Ipapo meso avose vanoona haachazotsinzini, uye nzeve dzavanonzwa dzichateerera.
And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken.
4 Ndangariro dzavanokurumidzira zvinhu dzichaziva uye dzichanzwisisa, uye vanokakama vachataura zvakanaka uye zvinonzwika.
The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Benzi harichazonzi munhu anokudzwa, munhu asina maturo haazoremekedzwi.
The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be 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 worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away.
7 Nzira dzousina maturo dzakaipa, anoita rangano dzakaipa kuti aparadze varombo nenhema, kunyange chichemo chaanoshayiwa chakanaka hacho.
The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.
8 Asi munhu anokudzwa anoita urongwa hwakanaka, uye namabasa anokudzwa.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.
9 Imi vakadzi musina hanya, simukai muteerere kwandiri; imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka, inzwai zvandinoreva!
Ye careless women rise up, hear my voice; ye daughters that are secure, give ear unto my speech.
10 Gore risati rapera muchabvunda iyemi munoti makachengetedzeka; nokuti kuchekwa kwamazambiringa kuchakundikana, uye kutanhwa kwemichero hakuchasviki.
After days and years shall ye shudder, ye women that are secure; for ended is the vintage, the fruit gathering shall nowise come.
11 Dederai, imi vakadzi musina hanya; dederai imi vanasikana munoti makachengetedzeka! Bvisai nguo dzenyu, monerai masaga muzviuno zvenyu.
Tremble, ye careless women; shudder, ye that are secure, strip off your garments and make yourselves bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon the loins.
12 Muzvirove zvipfuva nokuda kweminda yakanaka, nokuda kwezvibereko zvemizambiringa,
[They shall strike] on the breast, lamenting, 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 soil of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yea, upon all the houses of joy of the gladsome town.
14 Nhare dzichasiyiwa, guta roruzha richasara risina munhu; nhare neshongwe zvichava dongo nokusingaperi, mufaro wembongoro, namafuro ezvipfuwo,
Because the palace is abandoned, the tumult of the city is forsaken; the hill and watch-tower are become dens for a long time, a joyous haunt for wild asses, a pasture for flocks.
15 kusvikira Mweya wadururirwa pamusoro pedu uchibva kumusoro, uye gwenga rava nyika yakaorera, nemunda wakaorera wava sesango.
Until a spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be changed into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be accounted as a forest.
16 Kururamisira kuchagara kugwenga uye kururama kuchagara kumunda wakaorera.
Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide 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 security for ever.
18 Vanhu vangu vachagara munzvimbo dzorugare, mumisha yakachengetedzeka, munzvimbo dzokuzorora dzakadzikama.
And then shall my people abide in peaceful dwellings, and secure abodes, and in undisturbed resting-places.
19 Kunyange chimvuramabwe chikafukidza sango, neguta rikaparadzwa zvachose,
And it shall spread itself out in the declivity of the forest; and far down in the lowlands shall the city descend.
20 ucharopafadzwa zvakadiniko, uchidyara mbeu dzako pedyo nehova dzose, uye uchirega mombe nembongoro dzako zvichifura zvakasununguka!
Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, freely sending forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
