Isaya 52
1 Muka, muka iwe Zioni, zvifukidze nesimba. Fuka nguo dzako dzakanakisa, iwe Jerusarema, guta dzvene. Vasina kudzingiswa navakasvibiswa havachapindizve mauri.
Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
2 Zunza guruva rako: simuka, ugare paushe, iwe Jerusarema. Zvisunungure pangetani dziri pamutsipa wako, iwe nhapwa, Mwanasikana weZioni.
Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
3 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, “Wakatengeswa pasina mutengo, uye uchadzikinurwa pasina mari.”
For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Pakutanga vanhu vangu vakaenda kuIjipiti kundogarako; iye zvino Asiria inovamanikidza.
For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
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, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
6 Naizvozvo vanhu vangu vachaziva zita rangu; naizvozvo pazuva iro vachaziva kuti ndini ndakazvitaura. Hongu, ndini iye.”
Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.
7 Dzakanaka sei pamusoro pamakomo tsoka dzavanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza rugare, vanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza ruponeso, vanoti kuZioni, “Mwari wako anotonga!”
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
8 Chinzwa! Nharirire dzako dzinodanidzira namanzwi adzo; vanopembera nomufaro pamwe chete. Panodzokera Jehovha kuZioni, vachazviona nameso avo pachavo.
The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion.
9 Pururudzai muimbe nziyo dzomufaro pamwe chete, imi matongo eJerusarema, nokuti Jehovha anyaradza vanhu vake, akadzikinura Jerusarema.
Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Jehovha acharatidza ruoko rwake rutsvene pamberi pendudzi dzose, uye magumo ose enyika achaona ruponeso rwaMwari wedu.
The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall 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 ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 Asi hamungazobudi nokukurumidza kana kuenda muchitiza; nokuti Jehovha achakutungamirirai, Mwari waIsraeri achakurindai mushure.
For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make haste by flight: For the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13 Tarirai muranda wangu achaita nouchenjeri; achasimudzirwa uye achakwidzwa pamusoro, uye achakudzwa kwazvo.
Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
14 Sezvo vazhinji vakashamiswa naye, chiso chake chakanga chakakuvadzwa zvikuru, kupfuura chomunhu upi zvake, uye chimiro chake chakanga chakanganiswa, kupfuura kuratidzika kwomunhu,
As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.
15 saka iye achasasa ndudzi zhinji, uye madzimambo achafumbira miromo nokuda kwake. Nokuti zvavakanga vasina kuudzwa, vachazviona, uye zvavasina kumbonzwa, vachazvinzwisisa.
He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth at him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not, have beheld.
