¹Zvanzi naJehovha kumuzodzwa wake, kuna Koreshi, wandakabata ruoko rwake rworudyi, kuti ndikunde marudzi avanhu pamberi pake, ndichisunungura zviuno zvamadzimambo, ndimuzarurire misuwo pamberi pake, namasuwo arege kuzarirwa.

¹Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:

²Ini ndichaenda pamberi pako, ndichienzanisa pasina kuenzana; ndichaputsa-putsa misuwo yendarira, nokugura-gura mipfigo yendarama;

²`I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut asunder,

³ndichakupa fuma iri murima, noufumi hwakavanzwa panzvimbo dzisingazikamwi, kuti uzive kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari walsiraeri, anokudana nezita rako.

³And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name — [am] the God of Israel.

⁴Nokuda kwaJakove muranda wangu, nokwaIsiraeri musanangurwa wangu, ndakakudana nezita rako, ndakakutumidza zita rakanaka, kunyange wakange usingandizivi.

⁴For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.

⁵Ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe; kunze kwangu hakuna mumwe Mwari. Ndichakusunga chiuno kunyange usina kundiziva;

⁵I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.

⁶kuti vazive kubva kumabvazuva nokumavirazuva, kuti hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu; ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe.

⁶So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else,

⁷Ndini ndinoumba chiedza, nokusika rima; ndinoita rugare, nokusika njodzi; ndini Jehovha, anoita zvinhu izvi zvose.

⁷Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing all these things.`

⁸Iwe denga rose, donhedza zvichibva kumusoro, makore ngaadurure kururama, nyika ngaizaruke, kuti ibudise ruponeso, ibereke kururama pamwechete; ini Jehovha ndakazvisika.

⁸Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.

⁹Ane nhamo anorwa noMuiti wake, icho chaenga pakati pezvaenga zvevhu! Ko ivhu ringati kunowanoriumba, Unoiteiko? Kana basa rako ringati, Haana maoko, here?

⁹Wo [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, `What dost thou?` And thy work, `He hath no hands?`

¹⁰Ane nhamo anoti kuna baba, Unoberekeiko? Kana kumukadzi, Unozvareiko?

¹⁰Wo [to] him who is saying to a father, `What dost thou beget?` Or to a wife, `What dost thou bring forth?

¹¹Zvanzi naJehovha, Mutsvene waIsiraeri, noMuiti wavo, Ndibvunzei pamusoro pezvichazoitwa; pamusoro pavanakomana vangu, napamusoro pebasa ramaoko angu, mundirayire.

¹¹Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.`

¹²Ndakaita nyika, nokusika vanhu pamusoro payo; ini namaoko angu, ndakatatamura denga rose; ndakarayira hondo yose yaro.

¹²I made earth, and man on it prepared, I — My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.

¹³Ndakamumutsa nokururama, ndicharuramisa nzira dzake dzose; iye achavaka guta rangu, nokusunungura vatapwa vangu, asingatsvaki mutengo kana mubayiro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

¹³I have stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah of Hosts.

¹⁴Zvanzi naJehovha, Zvakabatirwa neEgipita, nezvakashambadzirwa neItiopia, navaShabhiya, ivo varume varefu, zvichauya kwauri, zvichava zvako; vachakutevera, vachauya vakasungwa namatare, vachapfugama pamberi pako, vachikunyengera, vachiti, Zvirokwazvo Mwari uri pakati pako, hakuna mumwe, hakuna mumwe Mwari.

¹⁴Thus said Jehovah, `The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim — men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee [is] God, And there is none else, no [other] God.

¹⁵Zvirokwazvo, muri Mwari anovanda, imwi Mwari waIsiraeri, Muponesi.

¹⁵Surely Thou [art] a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel — Saviour!

¹⁶Ivo vose vachanyadziswa vave nenyadzi; vaiti vezvifananidzo vachanyadziswa pamwechete.

¹⁶They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed — all of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving images.

¹⁷Asi vaIsiraeri vachaponeswa naJehovha noruponeso rusingaperi; hamunganyadziswi kana kuva nenyadzi kusvikira panguva dzisingaperi.

¹⁷Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!

¹⁸nekuti zvanzi naJehovha akasika denga rose, iye Mwari akaumba nyika nokuiita, akaisimbisa akasaisika kuti rive dongo, asi akaiumba kuti igarwe, zvanzi naye, Ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe.

¹⁸For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it — not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹⁹Handina kutaura pakavanda, panzvimbo yenyika yerima; handina kuti kurudzi rwaJakove, Nditsvakei pasina, ini Jehovha, ndinotaura zvakarurama, ndinoparidza zvechokwadi.

¹⁹Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.

²⁰Unganai, muuye; swederai pamwechete, imwi makapukunyuka kumarudzi; vanotakura matanda iri mifananidzo yavo yakavezwa havana ruzivo, ivo vanonyengetera mwari asingagoni kuponesa.

²⁰Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god [that] saveth not.

²¹Paridzai, muzvibudise; zvirokwazvo, ngavarangane pamwechete, vachiti, Ndiani akazviratidza izvi kubvira panguva yekare-kare? Ndiani akazviparidza pakutanga? Handizini Jehovha here? Hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu, Mwari akarurama noMuponesi, hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu,

²¹Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I — Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.

²²Tarirai kwandiri muponeswe imwi mativi ose enyika nekuti ndini Mwari hakuna mumwe.

²²Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.

²³Ndakapika neni ndimene, shoko rabuda mumuromo mangu nokururama haringadzoki namabvi ose achandifugamira, marimi ose achapika neni.

²³By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.

²⁴Zvanzi pamusoro pangu, Kururama nesimba zviri muna Jehovha chete; vanhu vachauya kwaari, vose vakanga vamutsamwira vachanyadziswa.

²⁴Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.

²⁵Rudzi rwose rwaIsiraeri rucharuramisirwa muna Jehovha, nokuzvirumbidza maari.

²⁵In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.`
