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 who comes from Edom, clothed in red from Bozrah? Who is he in royal clothing, marching confidently because of his great strength? It is I, speaking righteousness and powerfully able to save.
2 Seiko nguo dzenyu dzakatsvuka sedzomunhu anotsika chisviniro chewaini?
Why are your clothes red, and why do they look like you have been treading grapes in a 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 grapes in the winepress alone, and no one from the nations joined me. I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. Their blood is spattered on my clothes and stained all my clothes.
4 Nokuti zuva rokutsiva rakanga riri mumwoyo mangu, uye gore rokudzikinura kwangu rasvika.
For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and the year for my redemption had arrived.
5 Ndakatarisa, asi pakanga pasina angabatsira, ndakashamiswa nokuti hapana akatsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, uye hasha dzangu dzakanditsigira.
I looked, and there was no one to help. I wondered that there was none to help, but my own arm brought victory for me, and my strong anger drove me on.
6 Ndakatsika-tsika ndudzi mukutsamwa kwangu; muhasha dzangu ndakaita kuti vadhakwe uye ndakadurura ropa ravo pasi.”
I trampled down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their blood on 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 tell of the acts of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness, the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh. I will tell of all that Yahweh has done for us, and of his great goodness to the house of Israel. This compassion he has shown us because of his mercy, and with many deeds of covenant faithfulness.
8 Akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vanakomana vasingazovi venhema kwandiri,” naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.
For he said, “For certain they are my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their Savior.
9 Mumatambudziko avo ose naiyewo akatambudzika, uye mutumwa wokuvapo kwake akavaponesa. Murudo rwake nengoni akavadzikinura; akavasimudza uye akavatakura mumazuva ose akare.
Through all their suffering, he suffered too, and the angel from his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he saved them, and he lifted them up and carried them through all the ancient times.
10 Asi vakamumukira vakachemedza Mweya wake Mutsvene. Saka akashanduka akava muvengi wavo, uye iye amene akarwa navo.
But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and 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,
His people thought about the ancient times of Moses. They said, “Where is God, who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is God, who put his Holy Spirit among them?
12 iye akavatumira ruoko rwake rwokukudzwa nesimba kuti ruve paruoko rworudyi rwaMozisi, iye akaparadzanisa mvura pamberi pavo, kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi,
Where is God, who made his glorious power go with the right hand of Moses, and divided the water before them, to make an everlasting name for himself?
13 iye akavatungamirira nomakadzika? Sebhiza murenje, havana kugumburwa;
Where is God, who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land, they did not stumble.
14 semombe dzinoburukira kubani, vakapiwa zororo noMweya waJehovha. Ndiwo matungamiriro amakaita vanhu venyu kuti muzviitire zita rine mukurumbira.
As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest. So you led your people, to make yourself a name of praise.
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 take notice from your holy and glorious habitation. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? Your pity and your compassionate actions are kept from us.
16 Asi muri Baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahama asingatizivi kana naIsraeri asingatiziviwo; imi, Jehovha, ndimi Baba vedu, Mudzikinuri wedu kubva kare ndiro zita renyu.
For you are our father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us, you, Yahweh, are our father. 'Our Redeemer' has been your name from ancient times.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, munotiregereiko tichidzungaira, kubva panzira dzenyu muchiomesa mwoyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.
Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Kwenguva duku vanhu venyu vakatora nzvimbo yenyu tsvene, asi zvino vavengi vedu vakatsika-tsika nzvimbo yenyu tsvene.
Your people possessed your holy place for a short time, but then our enemies trampled it.
19 Isu tiri venyu kubva kare; asi ivo hamuna kumbovatonga, havana kumbodaidzwa nezita renyu.
We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were never called by your name.”
