Isaya 63
1 Ndianiko uyu anobva kuEdhomu, anobva kuBhozira, ane nguo dzakatsvuka seropa? Ndianiko uyu, akafuka zvinobwinya, anofamba muukuru hwesimba rake? “Ndini ndinotaura nokururama, ndine simba rokuponesa.”
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
2 Seiko nguo dzenyu dzakatsvuka sedzomunhu anotsika chisviniro chewaini?
Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
3 “Ndakatsika chisviniro chewaini ndoga; kubva kundudzi dzose hapana akanga aneni. Ndakavatsika-tsika mukutsamwa kwangu uye ndakavapwanyira pasi muhasha dzangu; ropa ravo rikatsatikira panguo dzangu, ndikasvibisa nguo dzangu dzose.
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
4 Nokuti zuva rokutsiva rakanga riri mumwoyo mangu, uye gore rokudzikinura kwangu rasvika.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
5 Ndakatarisa, asi pakanga pasina angabatsira, ndakashamiswa nokuti hapana akatsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, uye hasha dzangu dzakanditsigira.
I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
6 Ndakatsika-tsika ndudzi mukutsamwa kwangu; muhasha dzangu ndakaita kuti vadhakwe uye ndakadurura ropa ravo pasi.”
And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.
7 Ndichataura nezvounyoro hwaJehovha, iwo mabasa aanofanira kukudzwa nawo, nokuda kwezvose zvatakaitirwa naJehovha, hongu, izvo zvinhu zvizhinji zvaakaitira imba yaIsraeri, nokuda kwetsitsi dzake uye nengoni dzake zhinji.
I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 Akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vanakomana vasingazovi venhema kwandiri,” naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.
And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny: so he became their saviour.
9 Mumatambudziko avo ose naiyewo akatambudzika, uye mutumwa wokuvapo kwake akavaponesa. Murudo rwake nengoni akavadzikinura; akavasimudza uye akavatakura mumazuva ose akare.
In all their affliction he was not troubled, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 Asi vakamumukira vakachemedza Mweya wake Mutsvene. Saka akashanduka akava muvengi wavo, uye iye amene akarwa navo.
But they provoked to wrath, and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, mazuva aMozisi navanhu vake, vakati, aripiko akavayambutsa gungwa, nomufudzi wamakwai ake? Aripiko akaisa Mweya wake Mutsvene pakati pavo,
And he remembered the days of old of Moses, and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
12 iye akavatumira ruoko rwake rwokukudzwa nesimba kuti ruve paruoko rworudyi rwaMozisi, iye akaparadzanisa mvura pamberi pavo, kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi,
He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 iye akavatungamirira nomakadzika? Sebhiza murenje, havana kugumburwa;
He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not.
14 semombe dzinoburukira kubani, vakapiwa zororo noMweya waJehovha. Ndiwo matungamiriro amakaita vanhu venyu kuti muzviitire zita rine mukurumbira.
As a beast that goeth down in the field, the spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Tarirai pasi muri kudenga uye muone, kubva pachigaro chenyu chakakwirira chitsvene uye chinobwinya. Kushingaira kwenyu nesimba renyu zviripiko? Unyoro hwenyu netsitsi dzenyu zvakabviswa kwatiri.
Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory: where is thy zeal, and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels, and of thy mercies? they have held back themselves from me.
16 Asi muri Baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahama asingatizivi kana naIsraeri asingatiziviwo; imi, Jehovha, ndimi Baba vedu, Mudzikinuri wedu kubva kare ndiro zita renyu.
For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, munotiregereiko tichidzungaira, kubva panzira dzenyu muchiomesa mwoyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.
Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways: why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18 Kwenguva duku vanhu venyu vakatora nzvimbo yenyu tsvene, asi zvino vavengi vedu vakatsika-tsika nzvimbo yenyu tsvene.
They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Isu tiri venyu kubva kare; asi ivo hamuna kumbovatonga, havana kumbodaidzwa nezita renyu.
We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and when we were not called by thy name.
