¹For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

¹Nokuda kweZiyoni handingarambi ndinyerere, nokuda kweJerusaremu handingazorori, kusvikira kururama kwaro kuchibuda sechiedza, nokuponeswa kwaro somwenje unopfuta.

²And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

²Marudzi avanhu achaona kururama kwako, namadzimambo ose kurumbidzwa kwako; uchatumidzwa zita idzva, richarehwa nomuromo waJehovha.

³Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

³Iwe uchavawo korona yakanaka muruoko rwaJehovha, noukomba hwoumambo muruoko rwaMwari wako.

⁴Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

⁴Hauchazonzi, Musiiwa; nenyika yako haichazonzi Dongo; asi iwe uchatumidzwa zita rinonzi Hefiziba, nenyika yako Bheura; nekuti Jehovha anokufarira, nenyika yako ichawanikwa.

⁵For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

⁵nekuti jaya sezvarinowana mhandara, saizvozvo vanakomana vako vachakuwana; uye muwani sezvaanofarira mukadzi wake, saizvozvo Mwari wako achakufarira.

⁶I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

⁶Ndakagadza nharirire pamusoro pamasvingo ako, iwe Jerusaremu; havangatongonyarari masikati nousiku; imwi vayeudziri vaJehovha, regai kunyarara,

⁷And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁷uye musamutendera kuzorora, kusvikira asimbisa izvozvo, kusvikira aita Jerusaremu guta rinorumbidzwa panyika.

⁸The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

⁸Jehovha akapika noruoko rwake rworudyi, uye noruoko rwake rune simba, achiti, Zvirokwazvo handichazopi vavengi vako zviyo zvako, zvive zvokudya zvavo, navatorwa havachazomwi waini yako itsva, yawakatamburira;

⁹But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

⁹asi vakazvikohwa ndivo vachazvidya, vachirumbidza Jehovha; vakaiunganidza ndivo vachaimwa pamavanze eimba yangu tsvene.

¹⁰Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

¹⁰Pindai, pindai napamusuwo, gadzirai nzira yavanhu; gadzirai, gadzirai mugwagwa, bvisai mabwe, simudzirai vanhu mureza.

¹¹Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

¹¹Tarirai, Jehovha anoparidza shoko kusvikira kumugumo wenyika, achiti, Udzai mukunda weZiyoni, muti, Tarira, ruponeso rwako runouya; tarira, mubayiro wake anawo, zvaanoripira zviri pamberi pake.

¹²And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

¹²Vachavatumidza zita rinonzi Vanhu vatsvene, Vakadzikunurwa naJehovha; newe uchatumidzwa zita rinonzi, Mutsvakwa, Guta risina kusiiwa.
