¹For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.

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

²And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

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

³And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, 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, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah 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, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, 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, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night they shall never hold their peace: ye that put Jehovah in remembrance, 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.

⁸Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, I will indeed no more give thy corn [to be] food for thine enemies; and the sons of the alien shall not drink thy new wine, for 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;

⁹for they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it 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 the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

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

¹¹Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence 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 Jehovah; and thou shalt be called, The sought out, The city not forsaken.

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