¹Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

¹Imba, iwe ngomwa, iwe usina kubereka;muka nokuimba , udanidzirise, iwe usina kumbosununguka; nekuti vana vouri oga vazhinji kukunda vana vomukadzi akawanikwa.Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

²Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

²Kurisa nzvimbo yetende rako, ngavatatamure maketeni eugaro hwako; usarega, urebese mabote ako, usimbise mbambo dzako.

³For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

³nekuti uchapararira kuruoko rworudyi nokuruboshwe;vana vako vachagara nhaka yavahedheni,vaite matongo agarwe.

⁴Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

⁴Usatya , nekuti haunganyadziswi;uye usakanganiswa, nekuti haungavi nenyadzi; nekuti uchakangamwa kunyara kohumhandara hwako, haungazorangariri kuzvidzwa kohuchirikadzi hwako.

⁵For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

⁵nekuti Muiti wako ndiye murume wako, Jehovha wehondo ndiro zita rake; Mudzikunuri wako ndiye Mutsvene waIsiraeri, iye achanzi Mwari wenyika yose.

⁶For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

⁶nekuti Jehovha akakudana somukadzi, akasiiwa ane shungu pamweya, somukadzi akawanikwa achiri muduku ndokuzorambwa ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wako.

⁷For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

⁷Kwechinguvana,ndakakusiya , asi nenyasha huru ndichakuunganidza.

⁸In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

⁸Nehasha dzakapupuma, ndakakuvanzira chiso changu kwechinguvana ; asi nohunyoro husingaperi ndichakunzwira nyasha , ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mudzikunuri wako.

⁹For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

⁹nekuti izvi zvakaita semvura yaNowa kwandiri; nekuti sezvandakapika kuti mvura yaNowa haingazodarikizve napanyika, saizvozvo ndakapika kuti handichazokutsamwiri, kana kukutuka.

¹⁰For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

¹⁰nekuti makomo achabva, nezvikomo zvizungunuke, asi hunyoro hwangu haungabvi kwauri, kana sungano yangu yorugare haingazungunuki ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha ane nyasha newe.

¹¹O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

¹¹Haiwa, iwe mutambudziki, wakaposerwa nedutu remhepo, usina kunyaradzwa, tarira, ndichateya mabwe ako namavara akanaka, ndichateya nheyo dzako namabwe esafiri.

¹²And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

¹²Ndichaita shongwe dzako ne-agati*, namasuwo ako ne-kabhunakeri*, nomuganhu wako wose namabwe anofadza.

¹³And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹³Navana vako vose vachadzidziswa naJehovha,uye ruchava rukuru, rugare rwavana vako.

¹⁴In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

¹⁴Uchasimbiswa mukururama; uchava kure nokumanikidzwa, nekuti haungatyi, uye kure nezvinotyisa, nekuti hakungaswederi kwauri.

¹⁵Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

¹⁵Tarira, vachavungana,asi kwete neni. Ani nani unovungana pamwe kurwa newe uchawa nokuda kwako.

¹⁶Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

¹⁶Tarira, ndakasika mupfuri anopfutidza mazimbe mumoto , ndokuita nhumbi yebasa rake; uye ini ndakasika muparadzi, kuti aparadze.

¹⁷No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Hakuna nhumbi yokurwa inopfurwa kuzorwa newe ingabudirira; rurimi rumwe norumwe runokukwirira pakutongwa ruchapiwa mhosva. Ndiyo nhaka yavaranda vaJehovha, nokururama kwavo ndokwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
