¹Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red 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.

²-- Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

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

³I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.

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 was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had 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: and 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 have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

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

⁷I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.

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

⁸And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became 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 bore 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 grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.

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

¹¹But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds 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?

¹²his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters 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?

¹³-- who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?

¹³Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?

¹⁴As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them 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 the heavens, 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 tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?

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

¹⁶For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.

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

¹⁷Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast 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.

¹⁸Thy holy people 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 have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.

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