Isaya 52
1 Muka, muka iwe Zioni, zvifukidze nesimba. Fuka nguo dzako dzakanakisa, iwe Jerusarema, guta dzvene. Vasina kudzingiswa navakasvibiswa havachapindizve mauri.
Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
2 Zunza guruva rako: simuka, ugare paushe, iwe Jerusarema. Zvisunungure pangetani dziri pamutsipa wako, iwe nhapwa, Mwanasikana weZioni.
Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, “Wakatengeswa pasina mutengo, uye uchadzikinurwa pasina mari.”
For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
4 Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Pakutanga vanhu vangu vakaenda kuIjipiti kundogarako; iye zvino Asiria inovamanikidza.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
5 “Uye zvino ndinei pano?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Nokuti vanhu vangu vakabviswa pasina, uye avo vanovatonga vanovaseka,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Uye zuva rose zita rangu rinogara richimhurwa.
And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Naizvozvo vanhu vangu vachaziva zita rangu; naizvozvo pazuva iro vachaziva kuti ndini ndakazvitaura. Hongu, ndini iye.”
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
7 Dzakanaka sei pamusoro pamakomo tsoka dzavanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza rugare, vanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza ruponeso, vanoti kuZioni, “Mwari wako anotonga!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Chinzwa! Nharirire dzako dzinodanidzira namanzwi adzo; vanopembera nomufaro pamwe chete. Panodzokera Jehovha kuZioni, vachazviona nameso avo pachavo.
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
9 Pururudzai muimbe nziyo dzomufaro pamwe chete, imi matongo eJerusarema, nokuti Jehovha anyaradza vanhu vake, akadzikinura Jerusarema.
Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Jehovha acharatidza ruoko rwake rutsvene pamberi pendudzi dzose, uye magumo ose enyika achaona ruponeso rwaMwari wedu.
The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Ibvai, ibvai, budai ikoko! Musabata chinhu chine tsvina! Budaimo mugova vakachena, imi munotakura midziyo yaJehovha.
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
12 Asi hamungazobudi nokukurumidza kana kuenda muchitiza; nokuti Jehovha achakutungamirirai, Mwari waIsraeri achakurindai mushure.
For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
13 Tarirai muranda wangu achaita nouchenjeri; achasimudzirwa uye achakwidzwa pamusoro, uye achakudzwa kwazvo.
Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Sezvo vazhinji vakashamiswa naye, chiso chake chakanga chakakuvadzwa zvikuru, kupfuura chomunhu upi zvake, uye chimiro chake chakanga chakanganiswa, kupfuura kuratidzika kwomunhu,
Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
15 saka iye achasasa ndudzi zhinji, uye madzimambo achafumbira miromo nokuda kwake. Nokuti zvavakanga vasina kuudzwa, vachazviona, uye zvavasina kumbonzwa, vachazvinzwisisa.
so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
