¹Shoko rakaonekwa naIsaya, mwa nakomana waAmozi, pamusoro paJudha neJerusaremu.

¹The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

²Pamazuva okupedzisira zvichaitika kuti gomo reimba yaJehovha richasimbiswa pamusoro pamakomo, richakwiridzwa kupfuura zvikomo; marudzi ose achamhanyira kwariri.

²And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah`s house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.

³Vanhu vazhinji vachaendako vachiti, Uyai, ngatikwire kugomo raJehovha, kuimba yaMwari waJakove; iye achatidzidzisa nzira dzake, tichafamba mumakwara ake; nekuti murayiro uchabva paZiyoni, shoko raJehovha richabva Jerusaremu.

³And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

⁴Iye achatonga pakati pamarudzi, nokururamisira vanhu vazhinji; vachapfura minondo yavo vachiita mapadza, namapfumo avo vachiaita mapanga okuchekerera miti; rumwe rudzi harungazosimudziri rumwe rudzi munondo, havangazodzidzi kurwa.

⁴And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.

⁵Iwe imba yaJakove, uyai tifambe muchiedza chaJehovha.

⁵O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.`

⁶nekuti imwi Jehovha makasiya vanhu venyu veimba yaJakove, nekuti vazere netsika dzinobva mabvazuva, vanouka savaFirisitia, vanobatana maoko navana vavatorwa.

⁶For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.

⁷Nyika yavo izere nesirivha nendarama, fuma yavo haiperi; nyika yavo izerewo namabhiza, nengoro dzavo dzokurwa hadziperi.

⁷And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,

⁸Nyika yavo izerewo nezvifananidzo; vanonamata zvakaitwa namaoko avo, izvo zvakaitwa nemimwe yavo.

⁸And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,

⁹Vanhu vaduku vakakotamiswa, navakuru vakaninipiswa; saka musavakangamwira.

⁹And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.

¹⁰Pinda mudombo uvande,muguruva, nokuda kwaJehovha anotyisa, uye nokuda kokubwinya koumambo hwake.

¹⁰Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.

¹¹Kuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaderedzwa, namanyawi avanhu achaninipiswa, Jehovha oga achakudzwa nezuva iro.

¹¹The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹²nekuti Jehovha wehondo ane zuva rake pamusoro pavose vanodada navanozvikudza, navana manyawi; vachaderedzwa;

¹²For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,

¹³napamusoro pemisidhari yose yeRebhanoni yakareba yakakwirira; napamusoro pamiouki yose yeBhashani,

¹³And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴napamusoro pamakomo ose marefu, napamusoro pezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira,

¹⁴And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,

¹⁵napamusoro peshongwe dzose refu, napamusoro pamasvingo ose akasimbiswa,

¹⁵And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,

¹⁶napamusoro pezvikepe zvose zveTarishishi, napamusoro pezvifananidzo zvose zvinofadza.

¹⁶And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.

¹⁷Ukuru hwevanhu huchakotamiswa, nokuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaderedzwa; Jehovha oga achakudzwa nezuva iro.

¹⁷And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹⁸Zvifananidzo zvichapera chose.

¹⁸And the idols — they completely pass away.

¹⁹Vanhu vachapinda mumapako amatombo, nomumakomba muvhu, nokuda kwaJehovha anotyisa, uye nokuda kokubwinya koumambo hwake, kana achisimuka kuzunungusa nyika nesimba.

¹⁹And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

²⁰Nezuva iro vanhu vacharasa zvifananidzo zvavo zvesirivha nezvifananidzo zvavo zvendarama, zvavakazviitira kuti vazvinamate, vachizviisa kunhuta nezviremwaremwa;

²⁰In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,

²¹vapinde mumapako amatombo, nomumikaha yamatombo makuru, nokuda kwaJehovha anotyisa, uye nokuda kokubwinya koumambo hwake, kana achisimuka kuzunungusa nyika nesimba.

²¹To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

²²Regai munhu, anokufema mumhino dzake; nekuti anobatsireiko?

²²Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
