¹Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

¹Ndianiko uyu anobva Edhomu, ane nguvo dzakatsvuka dzinobva Bhozira? Ndiani uyo akafuka zvinobwinya, anofamba noukuru bwesimba rake? Ndini ndinotaura nokururama, ndine simba rokuponesa.

²Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

²Ko nguvo yenyu yakatsvuka nei? Zvokufuka zvenyu zvakafanana nezvomunhu anotsika muchisviniro chewaini neiko?

³I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

³Ini ndakatsika chisviniro chewaini ndoga; kwakanga kusina munhu wamarudzi avanhu aiva neni; zvirokwazvo, ndakavatsika pakutsamwa kwangu, ndakavapwanya pahasha dzangu; ropa ravo rikatsatikira panguvo dzangu, ndikasvibisa zvokufuka zvangu zvose.

⁴For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

⁴nekuti ndakafunga zuva rokutsiva mumoyo mangu; gore ravakadzikunurwa vangu rasvika.

⁵And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

⁵Ndikatarira, ndikashayiwa anobatsira, ndikashamiswa nekuti kwakanga kusina anotsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, kutsamwa kwangu ndiko kwakanditsigira.

⁶And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

⁶Ndikatsika-tsika marudzi avanhu pakutsamwa kwangu, ndikavapengesa nedoro rokutsamwa kwangu, ndikadurura ropa rohupenyu hwavo pasi.

⁷I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

⁷Ndicharumbidza hunyoro hwaJehovha namabasa aJehovha anofanira kurumbidzwa, nokuda kwezvose zvatakaitirwa naJehovha nezvakanaka zvizhinji kuimba yaIsiraeri, zvaakavaitira nokuda kwenyasha dzake, uye nokuda kohunyoro hwake.

⁸For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

⁸nekuti akati, Zvirokwazvo, ndivo vanhu vangu, vana vasingazoiti nokunyengera; naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.

⁹In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

⁹Pakutambudzika kwavo kose naiyewo akanga achitambudzika, mutumwa, wakavazivisa chiso chake, akavaponesa; akavadzikunura norudo rwake netsitsi dzake, akavasimudza nokuvatakura mazuva ose akare.

¹⁰But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

¹⁰Asi vakamumukira, nokuchemedza Mweya wake mutsvene; naizvozvo akashanduka, akava muvengi wavo, akarwa navo amene.

¹¹Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

¹¹Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, Mozisi navanhu vake, vakati, Aripiko iye akaisa Mweya wake mutsvene pakati pavo?

¹²That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

¹²Aripiko iye akafambisa ruoko rwake runokudzwa parutivi rwaMozisi, akaparadzanisa mvura zhinji pamberi pavo kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi?

¹³That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

¹³Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?

¹⁴As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

¹⁴Mweya waJehovha wakavazorodza, semombe dzinoburukira kumupata; saizvozvo makafambisa vanhu venyu, kuti muzviwanire mukurumbira mukuru-kuru.

¹⁵Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

¹⁵Tarirai pasi muri kudenga, muone muri pahugaro bwenyu hutsvene hunobwinya, kushingaira kwenyu namabasa enyu ane simba aripiko? Kushuva komoyo wenyu netsitsi dzenyu zvadzorwa kwandiri.

¹⁶Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

¹⁶nekuti muri baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahamu asingatizivi, naIsiraeri asingatiziururi; imwi Jehovha muri baba vedu, Mudzikunuri wedu kubva kare nakare, ndiro zita renyu.

¹⁷O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

¹⁷Haiwa, Jehovha, munotirega neiko tichitsauka panzira dzenyu, nokuomesa moyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.

¹⁸The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

¹⁸Vanhu venyu vatsvene vakanga vanayo nguva duku hayo; vadzivisi vedu vakatsika pasi imba yenyu tsvene.

¹⁹We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

¹⁹Isu tafanana navasina kutongobatwa nemi, navasina kutumidzwa nezita renyu.
