Isaya 33
1 Une nhamo iwe, muparadzi, iyewe usati wamboparadzwa! Une nhamo iwe, mupanduki, iyewe usati wambopandukirwa! Paunorega kuparadza, iwe uchaparadzwa; paunorega kupandukira, iwe uchapandukirwa.
Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.
2 Haiwa Jehovha, tinzwirei tsitsi; tinokupangai imi. Ivai simba redu mangwanani oga oga, noruponeso rwedu panguva yokutambudzika.
O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Pakutinhira kwenzwi renyu, ndudzi dzinotiza; pamunosimuka, marudzi anopararira.
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.
4 Haiwa imi ndudzi, zvakapambwa zvenyu zvachekwa kunge zvachekwa nemhashu diki; vanhu vanomhanyira kwazviri segwatakwata remhashu.
And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run on them.
5 Jehovha asimudzirwa, iye anogara kumusoro; achazadza Zioni nokururamisira nokururama.
The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 Achava nheyo yechokwadi yenguva yenyu, nedura repfuma yoruponeso, uchenjeri nezivo; kiyi yepfuma iyi ndiko kutya Jehovha.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Tarirai, mhare dzavo dzinodanidzira munzira dzomumisha; nhume dzorugare dzinochema zvikuru.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 Migwagwa mikuru yasiyiwa, vafambi havachisimo mumigwagwa. Sungano yaputswa, zvapupu zvayo zvazvidzwa, hapachina anoremekedzwa.
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man.
9 Nyika inochema uye yoparara, Rebhanoni yanyadziswa uye yasvava; Sharoni yafanana neArabha, uye Bhashani neKarimeri dzakurumuka mashizha adzo.
The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10 “Zvino ini ndichasimuka,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Zvino ini ndichakudzwa; zvino ini ndichasimudzirwa pamusoro.
Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Munoita mimba yehundi, munobereka mashanga; kufema kwenyu ndiwo moto unokuparadzai.
You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 Marudzi achapiswa kunge suko; vacharirima kunge huni dzeminzwa dzakatemwa.”
And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Imi vari kure, inzwai zvandakaita; imi vari pedyo, bvumai kuti ndine simba!
Hear, you that are far off, what I have done; and, you that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 Vatadzi vari muZioni vavhundutswa; vasina Mwari vodedera: “Ndianiko pakati pedu angagare nomoto unopisa nokusingaperi?”
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Iye anofamba nokururama uye anotaura zvakanaka, anoramba pfuma inobva pakumanikidza uye anodzivisa ruoko rwake kugamuchira fufuro, anodzivisa nzeve dzake kunzwa rangano dzokuuraya, uye anotsinzina meso ake kuti arege kuona zvakaipa,
He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes, that stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;
16 uyu ndiye munhu achagara pakakwirira, nhare dzegomo dzichava utiziro hwake. Zvokudya zvake achazvipiwa, uye haangashayiwi mvura.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Meso ako achaona mambo pakunaka kwake; uye achatarira nyika yakakura kwazvo.
Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Mundangariro dzako ucharangarira zvaimbokutyisa ugoti: “Aripiko muchinda mukuru uya? Aripiko uya aimbotora mutero? Aripiko muchinda aiva mutariri weshongwe?”
Your heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Vanhu vaya vokuzvikudza hauchazovaonazve, ivo vanhu vomutauro wakavanzika, vorurimi rwavo, rusinganzwiki.
You shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than you can perceive; of a stammering tongue, that you can not understand.
20 Tarirai Zioni, iro guta remitambo yedu; meso enyu achaona Jerusarema, ugaro hworunyararo, tende risingazozungunuswi; mbambo dzaro hadzingadzurwi, kana mabote aro kudamburwa.
Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 Asi Jehovha achava Wamasimba Ose kwatiri. Richafanana nenzvimbo yenzizi dzakapamhamha uye nehova. Magwa anokwasviwa haangasvikiko, uye zvikepe zvikuru hazvingapfuuri.
But there the glorious LORD will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 Nokuti Jehovha ndiye mutongi wedu, Jehovha ndiye anotipa murayiro, Jehovha ndiye mambo wedu; ndiye achatiponesa.
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
23 Mabote ako ava dembutembu: Haagoni kusimbisa mbambo yechikepe, sairi harina kutambanudzwa. Ipapo zvakapambwa zvakawanda zvichagoverwa, uye kunyange chirema chichawanawo zvakapambwa.
Your tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 Hapana agere muZioni achati, “Ndinorwara,” uye zvivi zvavanogaramo zvicharegererwa.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
