1The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because Jehovah hath anointed me to announce glad tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound;
1Mweya waIshe Jehovha uri pamusoro pangu; nekuti Jehovha akandizodza kuti ndiparidzire vanyoro mashoko akanaka; akandituma kuti ndirape vanemoyo yakaputsika, kuti ndiparidzire vakatapwa kusunungurwa, nokuna vakasungwa kuti vachazarurirwa;
2to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
2kuti ndiparidzire gore retsitsi dzaJehovha, nezuva rokutsiva raMwari wedu; kuti ndinyaradze vose vanochema;
3to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, that beauty should be given unto them instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
3kuti ndigadzire vanochema paZiyoni vapiwe korona panzvimbo yamadota, mafuta omufaro panzvimbo yokuchema, nenguvo yokurumbidza panzvimbo yomweya waziya; kuti vanzi miti yokururama, chakasimwa chaJehovha, kuti iye akudzwe.
4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the places desolate from generation to generation.
4Ipapo vachavaka matongo akare, vachamutsazve nzvimbo dzakaparadzwa dzokutanga, vachagadzira maguta akanga aitwa matongo, nezvose zvakaparadzwa zvamarudzi namarudzi.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and your vinedressers.
5Vatorwa vachamira vachifudza mapoka enyu amakwai, navaeni vachava varimi venyu navagadziri vemizambiringa yenyu.
6But as for you, ye shall be called priests of Jehovah; it shall be said of you: Ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and into their glory shall ye enter.
6Asi imwi muchanzi vaPristi vaJehovha vanhu vachakutumidzai Vashumiri vaMwari wedu; muchadya fuma yamarudzi avanhu, muchazvirumbidza nokukudzwa kwawo.
7Instead of your shame [ye shall have] double; instead of confusion they shall celebrate with joy their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them.
7Panzvimbo yokunyadziswa kwenyu, muchapiwa migove miviri; panzvimbo yokushorwa vachafarira mugove wavo; naizvozvo panyika yavo vachava nemigove miviri, vachava nomufaro usingaperi.
8For I, Jehovah, love judgment, I hate robbery with wrong; and I will give their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
8nekuti ini Jehovha ndinoda zvakarurama, ndinovenga kupamba pamwechete nezvakaipa; ndichavaripira zvirokwazvo, uye ndichaita sungano isingaperi navo.
9And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are a seed that Jehovah hath blessed.
9Vana vavo vachazikamwa pakati pamarudzi, nezvibereko zvavo pakati pavanhu; vose vanovaona vachavaziva kuti ndirwo rudzi rwakaropafadzwa naJehovha.
10I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with the priestly turban, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
10Ndichafarira Jehovha kwazvo, mweya wangu uchava nomufaro munaMwari wangu; nekuti akandifukidza nguvo dzoruponeso, akandipfekedza chokufuka chokururama, somuwani anoshonga korona, uye somwenga unozvishongedza noukomba hwake.
11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as a garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
11nekuti nyika sezvainobudisa miti yayo, nomunda sezvaunomeresa zvakadzvarwamo, saizvozvo Ishe Jehovha achameresa kururama nokurumbidzwa pamberi pamarudzi ose.
