¹nekuti Jehovha achanzwira Jakove tsitsi, achasanangura Isaraeri nokuvagadza munyika yavo; mutorwa achandogara navo, vachanamatira imba yaJakove.

¹For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

²Marudzi achavatora, nokuvaisa kunzvimbo yavo; imba yavaIsiraeri ichavabata panyika yaJehovha vave varanda navashandiri vavo; vachatapa ivo vaiva vatapi vavo, vachabata ivo vaivamanikidza.

²And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

³Zvino nezuva iro kana Jehovha achikuzorodza pakuchema kwako napakutambudzika kwako, napakubata kwako kunorema kwawakabatiswa nako,

³And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

⁴uchaimba rwiyo urwu pamusoro pamambo weBhabhironi, uchiti, Haiwa mumanikidzi wapera sei! Kutambudzika kwapera sei!

⁴That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

⁵Jehovha avhuna mudonzvo wowakaipa, netsvimbo youshe yavabati.

⁵The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

⁶Iye airova marudzi avanhu nehasha nokurova kusingaperi, aibata ndudzi dzavanhu nokutambudza kusina kudzorwa nomunhu.

⁶He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

⁷Nyika yose yozorora, yanyarara; vanofara nokuimba.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

⁸Zvirokwazvo miti yemisipiresi inofara nokuda kwako, nemisidhari yeRebhanoni, ichiti, Chinguva chawaparadzwa, hapano mutemi anokwira kutitema.

⁸Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

⁹Sheori pasi rine nyongano pamusoro pako kuzosangana newe pakuuya kwako; rinokumutsira vakafa, ivo vose vaiva vakuru panyika; ramutsa madzimambo ose amarudzi avanhu pazvigaro zvavo zvoushe.

⁹Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

¹⁰Ivo vose vachapindura, vachiti kwauri, Newe wava usina simba sesu kanhi? Iwe wafanana nesu kanhi?

¹⁰All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

¹¹Kuzvikudza kwako kwaderedzwa kusvikira paSheori, nokurira koudimbwa hwako; honye dziri pasi pako, nehonye dzinokufukidza.

¹¹Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

¹²Haiwa, wawa seiko uchibva kudenga, iwe nyamasase, iwe mwanakomana wamambakwedza! Wakandwa seiko pasi, iwe wokuwisira marudzi pasi!

¹²How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

¹³Iwe wakati mumoyo mako, Ndichakwira kudenga, ndichakwiridza chigaro changu choushe kumusoro kwenyeredzi dzaMwari; ndichagara pamusoro pegomo reungano, pamigumo yamativi okumusoro;

¹³For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

¹⁴ndichakwira kumusoro kwamakore, ndichazvienzanisa neWekumusoro-soro.

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

¹⁵Kunyange zvakadaro uchaderedzwa kusvikira paSheori, kusvikira pakadzika pegomba.

¹⁵Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

¹⁶Vanokuona vachakucherekedza, vachakutarira, vachiti, Ko uyu ndiye munhu aidederesa nyika, aizunungusa ushe;

¹⁶They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

¹⁷aishandura nyika ifanane nerenje, aiparadza maguta ayo, airamba kusunungura vasungwa vake vaende kumusha here?

¹⁷That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

¹⁸Madzimambo ose amarudzi, iwo ose, anovata achikudzwa, mumwe nomumwe paimba yake.

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

¹⁹Asi iwe waraswa kure neguva rako, sedavi rinonyangadza, wafukidzwa navakaurawa, vakabayiwa nomunondo, vanoburukira kumabwe egomba, somutumbi watsikwa netsoka.

¹⁹But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

²⁰Haungavigwi pamwechete navo, nekuti wakaparadza nyika yako, vakauraya vanhu vako; vana vavakaipa havangarehwi nokusingaperi.

²⁰Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

²¹Gadzirirai vana vake pavangaurawa nokuda kokushata kwamadzibaba avo; varege kuzomuka, vagare nhaka yenyika, vazadze pasi pose namaguta.

²¹Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

²²Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Ndichavamukira, ndichatorera Bhabhironi zita navakasara, navana, navana vavana, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

²²For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.

²³Ndichariita nzvimbo inogarwa nenungu, uye madziva emvura; ndicharitsvaira nomutsvairo wokuparadza, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

²³I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

²⁴Jehovha wehondo akapika, achiti, Zvirokwazvo, sezvandakafunga, ndizvo zvichaitika; sezvandakarangarira, zvichamira saizvozvo.

²⁴The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

²⁵Kuti ndichavhuna muAsiria munyika yangu, ndichamutsika netsoka dzangu pamakomo angu; nenguva iyo joko rake richabva kwavari, nomutoro wake uchabva pamafudzi avo.

²⁵That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

²⁶Ndicho chirevo chakatemerwa nyika yose; ndirwo ruoko rwakatambanudzwa pamusoro pamarudzi ose.

²⁶This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

²⁷nekuti Jehovha wehondo wakatema chirevo, ndiani angapindurazve? Ruoko rwake rwakatambanudzwa, ndiani angarudzosa.

²⁷For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

²⁸Negore rokufa kwamambo Ahazi chirevo ichi chakarehwa,

²⁸In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

²⁹Iwe nyika yeFirisitia, iwe nyika yose, usafara zvako nekuti shamhu yakanga yakurova yavhunika; nekuti pamudzi wenyoka pachabuda mvumbi, chibereko chayo chichava nyoka yomoto inoburuka.

²⁹Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

³⁰Matangwe avarombo achadya, navanoshayiwa vachavata pasi vakafara; ndichauraya mudzi wako nenzara, vakasara vako vachaurawa.

³⁰And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

³¹Chema, iwe suwo; danidzira, iwe guta; wanyauka, iwe nyika yeFirisitia, iwe nyika yose; nekuti kurutivi rwokumusoro kunobva utsi, hapana anotiza pahondo dzake.

³¹Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

³²Zvino nhume dzorudzi urwu vachadzipindurei? Kuti, Jehovha akavamba Ziyoni, vanotambudzika navanhu vake vachavandiramo.

³²What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
