¹Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him -- and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, and the gates shall not be shut:

¹Zvanzi naJehovha kumuzodzwa wake, kuna Koreshi, wandakabata ruoko rwake rworudyi, kuti ndikunde marudzi avanhu pamberi pake, ndichisunungura zviuno zvamadzimambo, ndimuzarurire misuwo pamberi pake, namasuwo arege kuzarirwa.

²I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the brazen doors, and cut asunder the bars of iron;

²Ini ndichaenda pamberi pako, ndichienzanisa pasina kuenzana; ndichaputsa-putsa misuwo yendarira, nokugura-gura mipfigo yendarama;

³and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, who call thee by name, [am] the God of Israel.

³ndichakupa fuma iri murima, noufumi hwakavanzwa panzvimbo dzisingazikamwi, kuti uzive kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari walsiraeri, anokudana nezita rako.

⁴For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me;

⁴Nokuda kwaJakove muranda wangu, nokwaIsiraeri musanangurwa wangu, ndakakudana nezita rako, ndakakutumidza zita rakanaka, kunyange wakange usingandizivi.

⁵I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me;

⁵Ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe; kunze kwangu hakuna mumwe Mwari. Ndichakusunga chiuno kunyange usina kundiziva;

⁶-- that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else;

⁶kuti vazive kubva kumabvazuva nokumavirazuva, kuti hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu; ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe.

⁷forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.

⁷Ndini ndinoumba chiedza, nokusika rima; ndinoita rugare, nokusika njodzi; ndini Jehovha, anoita zvinhu izvi zvose.

⁸Drop down, [ye] heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and with it let righteousness spring up. I, Jehovah, have created it.

⁸Iwe denga rose, donhedza zvichibva kumusoro, makore ngaadurure kururama, nyika ngaizaruke, kuti ibudise ruponeso, ibereke kururama pamwechete; ini Jehovha ndakazvisika.

⁹Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?

⁹Ane nhamo anorwa noMuiti wake, icho chaenga pakati pezvaenga zvevhu! Ko ivhu ringati kunowanoriumba, Unoiteiko? Kana basa rako ringati, Haana maoko, here?

¹⁰Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? Or to [his] mother, What hast thou brought forth?

¹⁰Ane nhamo anoti kuna baba, Unoberekeiko? Kana kumukadzi, Unozvareiko?

¹¹Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.

¹¹Zvanzi naJehovha, Mutsvene waIsiraeri, noMuiti wavo, Ndibvunzei pamusoro pezvichazoitwa; pamusoro pavanakomana vangu, napamusoro pebasa ramaoko angu, mundirayire.

¹²It is I that have made the earth, and created man upon it; it is I, my hands, that have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

¹²Ndakaita nyika, nokusika vanhu pamusoro payo; ini namaoko angu, ndakatatamura denga rose; ndakarayira hondo yose yaro.

¹³It is I that have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.

¹³Ndakamumutsa nokururama, ndicharuramisa nzira dzake dzose; iye achavaka guta rangu, nokusunungura vatapwa vangu, asingatsvaki mutengo kana mubayiro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

¹⁴Thus saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall walk after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall bow down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying,] Surely ùGod is in thee; and there is none else, no other God. ...

¹⁴Zvanzi naJehovha, Zvakabatirwa neEgipita, nezvakashambadzirwa neItiopia, navaShabhiya, ivo varume varefu, zvichauya kwauri, zvichava zvako; vachakutevera, vachauya vakasungwa namatare, vachapfugama pamberi pako, vachikunyengera, vachiti, Zvirokwazvo Mwari uri pakati pako, hakuna mumwe, hakuna mumwe Mwari.

¹⁵Verily thou art a ùGod that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. ...

¹⁵Zvirokwazvo, muri Mwari anovanda, imwi Mwari waIsiraeri, Muponesi.

¹⁶They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go away in confusion together, the makers of idols.

¹⁶Ivo vose vachanyadziswa vave nenyadzi; vaiti vezvifananidzo vachanyadziswa pamwechete.

¹⁷Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded, unto the ages of ages.

¹⁷Asi vaIsiraeri vachaponeswa naJehovha noruponeso rusingaperi; hamunganyadziswi kana kuva nenyadzi kusvikira panguva dzisingaperi.

¹⁸For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, -- not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: -- I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹⁸nekuti zvanzi naJehovha akasika denga rose, iye Mwari akaumba nyika nokuiita, akaisimbisa akasaisika kuti rive dongo, asi akaiumba kuti igarwe, zvanzi naye, Ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, declaring things which are right.

¹⁹Handina kutaura pakavanda, panzvimbo yenyika yerima; handina kuti kurudzi rwaJakove, Nditsvakei pasina, ini Jehovha, ndinotaura zvakarurama, ndinoparidza zvechokwadi.

²⁰Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a ùgod that cannot save.

²⁰Unganai, muuye; swederai pamwechete, imwi makapukunyuka kumarudzi; vanotakura matanda iri mifananidzo yavo yakavezwa havana ruzivo, ivo vanonyengetera mwari asingagoni kuponesa.

²¹Declare and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? [who] hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just ùGod and a Saviour, there is none besides me.

²¹Paridzai, muzvibudise; zvirokwazvo, ngavarangane pamwechete, vachiti, Ndiani akazviratidza izvi kubvira panguva yekare-kare? Ndiani akazviparidza pakutanga? Handizini Jehovha here? Hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu, Mwari akarurama noMuponesi, hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu,

²²Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] ùGod, and there is none else.

²²Tarirai kwandiri muponeswe imwi mativi ose enyika nekuti ndini Mwari hakuna mumwe.

²³I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

²³Ndakapika neni ndimene, shoko rabuda mumuromo mangu nokururama haringadzoki namabvi ose achandifugamira, marimi ose achapika neni.

²⁴Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength. To him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

²⁴Zvanzi pamusoro pangu, Kururama nesimba zviri muna Jehovha chete; vanhu vachauya kwaari, vose vakanga vamutsamwira vachanyadziswa.

²⁵In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

²⁵Rudzi rwose rwaIsiraeri rucharuramisirwa muna Jehovha, nokuzvirumbidza maari.
