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.”
Ngubani lo ovela eEdoma, olezembatho ezibomvu evela eBhozira? Lo odumisekileyo ngezembatho zakhe, ehamba ngobukhulu bamandla akhe? Yimi engikhuluma ngokulunga, engilamandla okusindisa.
2 Seiko nguo dzenyu dzakatsvuka sedzomunhu anotsika chisviniro chewaini?
Kungani izigqoko zakho zibomvu, lezembatho zakho zinjengezonyathela esikhamelweni sewayini?
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.
Ngisinyathele ngedwa isikhamelo sewayini, lebantwini kwakungekho loyedwa lami; ngoba ngizabanyathela ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngibahlifize elakeni lwami; legazi labo lizafafazwa ezembathweni zami, ngingcolise izigqoko zami zonke.
4 Nokuti zuva rokutsiva rakanga riri mumwoyo mangu, uye gore rokudzikinura kwangu rasvika.
Ngoba usuku lwempindiselo lusenhliziyweni yami, lomnyaka wabahlengwa bami usufikile.
5 Ndakatarisa, asi pakanga pasina angabatsira, ndakashamiswa nokuti hapana akatsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, uye hasha dzangu dzakanditsigira.
Njalo ngakhangela, kodwa kwakungekho osizayo, ngamangala kakhulu ukuthi kwakungekho osekelayo; ngakho ingalo yami yaletha usindiso kimi, lolaka lwami lona lwangisekela.
6 Ndakatsika-tsika ndudzi mukutsamwa kwangu; muhasha dzangu ndakaita kuti vadhakwe uye ndakadurura ropa ravo pasi.”
Besenginyathela abantu ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngibadakise olakeni lwami, ngehlisele emhlabathini amandla abo.
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.
Ngizakhumbuza ngothandolomusa omkhulu weNkosi, izindumiso zeNkosi, njengakho konke iNkosi esinike khona, lobuhle obukhulu ngasendlini kaIsrayeli, ebanike bona ngokwezisa zayo, lanjengobunengi bothandolomusa wayo omkhulu.
8 Akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vanakomana vasingazovi venhema kwandiri,” naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.
Ngoba yathi: Isibili bangabantu bami, abantwana abangayikukhuluma amanga; ngakho yaba nguMsindisi wabo.
9 Mumatambudziko avo ose naiyewo akatambudzika, uye mutumwa wokuvapo kwake akavaponesa. Murudo rwake nengoni akavadzikinura; akavasimudza uye akavatakura mumazuva ose akare.
Enhluphekweni yabo yonke yahlupheka, lengilosi yobukhona bayo yabasindisa; ngothando lwayo langesihawu sayo yona yabahlenga, yabaphakamisa, yabathwala zonke izinsuku zendulo.
10 Asi vakamumukira vakachemedza Mweya wake Mutsvene. Saka akashanduka akava muvengi wavo, uye iye amene akarwa navo.
Kodwa bona baba lenkani, badabukisa uMoya wayo oNgcwele; ngakho yaphenduka yaba yisitha sabo, yona yalwa imelene labo.
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,
Yasikhumbula insuku zendulo, uMozisi, labantu bakhe, isithi: Ungaphi lowo owabakhuphula olwandle labelusi bomhlambi wakhe? Ungaphi lowo owafaka uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele phakathi kwakhe?
12 iye akavatumira ruoko rwake rwokukudzwa nesimba kuti ruve paruoko rworudyi rwaMozisi, iye akaparadzanisa mvura pamberi pavo, kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi,
Owakhokhela ingalo yakhe elodumo esandleni sokunene sikaMozisi, esehlukanisa amanzi phambi kwabo, ukuzenzela ibizo eliphakade?
13 iye akavatungamirira nomakadzika? Sebhiza murenje, havana kugumburwa;
Owabakhokhela ezinzikini, njengebhiza enkangala kabakhubekanga?
14 semombe dzinoburukira kubani, vakapiwa zororo noMweya waJehovha. Ndiwo matungamiriro amakaita vanhu venyu kuti muzviitire zita rine mukurumbira.
Njengenkomo isehlela esigodini, uMoya weNkosi wabaphumuza. Ngokunjalo wabakhokhela abantu bakho, ukuze uzenzele ibizo elilodumo.
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.
Khangela phansi usemazulwini, ubone usendaweni yakho yokuhlala yobungcwele bakho leyodumo lwakho. Kungaphi ukutshiseka kwakho lamandla akho? Ubunengi bemibilini yakho, lezihawu zakho kimi, kuyazibamba yini?
16 Asi muri Baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahama asingatizivi kana naIsraeri asingatiziviwo; imi, Jehovha, ndimi Baba vedu, Mudzikinuri wedu kubva kare ndiro zita renyu.
Isibili wena ungubaba; lanxa uAbrahama engasazi, loIsrayeli engasivumi; wena Nkosi ungubaba wethu, umhlengi wethu; ibizo lakho lisukela ephakadeni.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, munotiregereiko tichidzungaira, kubva panzira dzenyu muchiomesa mwoyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.
Nkosi, kungani usenza siduhe ezindleleni zakho, usenza inhliziyo yethu ibe lukhuni sisuka ekukwesabeni? Phenduka ngenxa yenceku zakho, izizwe zelifa lakho.
18 Kwenguva duku vanhu venyu vakatora nzvimbo yenyu tsvene, asi zvino vavengi vedu vakatsika-tsika nzvimbo yenyu tsvene.
Abantu bobungcwele bakho babe lakho okwesikhatshana; izitha zethu zinyathelele phansi indlu yakho engcwele.
19 Isu tiri venyu kubva kare; asi ivo hamuna kumbovatonga, havana kumbodaidzwa nezita renyu.
Singabakho; kawuzange ubuse phezu kwabo; kababizwanga ngebizo lakho.
