Isaya 50
1 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ko, rugwaro rwokurambwa kwamai venyu rwuripiko rwandakavadzinga narwo? Uye ndevapiko vandakakwereta ndikazokutengesai kwavari? Makatengeswa nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu; mai venyu vakadzingwa nokuda kwokudarika kwenyu.
Thus said YHWH: “Where [is] this—the bill of your mother’s divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions Your mother has been sent away.
2 Sei ndakashaya munhu, pandakauya? Sei pasina akapindura pandakadana? Ko, ruoko rwangu rwakanga rwakapfupika here kuti ndikudzikinurei? Handina simba rokukununurai here? Nokungorayira chete ndinopwisa gungwa; ndinoshandura nzizi dzikava gwenga; hove dzadzo dzinoora nokushayiwa mvura, uye dzinofa nenyota.
Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Has My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stink, for there is no water, And die with thirst.
3 Ndinoshongedza denga nerima uye ndinoita masaga chifukidzo charo.”
I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And I make their covering sackcloth.”
4 Ishe Jehovha akandipa rurimi rwakadzidziswa, kuziva shoko rinosimbisa vakarukutika. Anondimutsa mangwanani namangwanani, anomutsa nzeve yangu kuti iteerere somunhu anodzidziswa.
Lord YHWH has given to Me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens [My] ear to hear as taught ones.
5 Ishe Jehovha akazarura nzeve dzangu, uye handina kumumukira; handina kudzokera shure.
Lord YHWH opened My ear, And I did not rebel—I did not move backward.
6 Ndakapa musana wangu kuna avo vaindirova, namatama angu kuna avo vakadzura ndebvu dzangu; Handina kuvanza chiso changu pakusekwa nokupfirwa mate.
I have given My back to those striking, And My cheeks to those plucking out, I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
7 Nokuti Ishe Jehovha anondibatsira, handizonyadziswi. Naizvozvo ndakaita kuti chiso changu chive sebwe romusarasara, uye ndinoziva kuti handizonyadziswi.
And Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set My face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
8 Iye anondiruramisira ari pedyo. Ndianiko zvino achandipa mhosva? Ngatitarisanei! Ndianiko mupomeri wangu? Ngaanangane neni!
Near [is] He who is justifying Me, Who contends with Me? We stand together, who [is] My opponent? Let him come near to Me.
9 Ndiye Ishe Jehovha anondibatsira. Ndianiko achandipa mhosva? Vose vachasakara senguo; vachadyiwa nezvipfuno.
Behold, Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Who [is] he that declares Me wicked? Behold, all of them wear out as a garment, A moth eats them.
10 Ndiani pakati penyu anotya Jehovha, uye anoteerera shoko romuranda wake? Ngaafambe murima, iye asina chiedza, ngaavimbe nezita raJehovha uye avimbe naMwari wake.
“Who [is] among you, fearing YHWH, Listening to the voice of His Servant, That has walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the Name of YHWH, And lean on his God.
11 Asi zvino, imi mose munotungidza moto muchava nemwenje inopfuta, endai, mufambe muchiedza chomoto wenyu nechemwenje yamakabatidza. Izvi ndizvo zvamuchagamuchira kubva paruoko rwangu: Muchavata pasi mukurwadziwa.
Behold, all you kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have caused to burn, This has been to you from My hand, You lie down in grief!”
