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

¹For Zion`s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem`s sake I do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that burneth.

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

²And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.

³Iwe uchavawo korona yakanaka muruoko rwaJehovha, noukomba hwoumambo muruoko rwaMwari wako.

³And thou hast been a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, And a diadem of royalty in the hand of thy God,

⁴Hauchazonzi, Musiiwa; nenyika yako haichazonzi Dongo; asi iwe uchatumidzwa zita rinonzi Hefiziba, nenyika yako Bheura; nekuti Jehovha anokufarira, nenyika yako ichawanikwa.

⁴It is not said of thee any more, `Forsaken!` And of thy land it is not said any more, `Desolate,` For to thee is cried, `My delight [is] in her,` And to thy land, `Married,` For Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is married.

⁵nekuti jaya sezvarinowana mhandara, saizvozvo vanakomana vako vachakuwana; uye muwani sezvaanofarira mukadzi wake, saizvozvo Mwari wako achakufarira.

⁵For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.

⁶Ndakagadza nharirire pamusoro pamasvingo ako, iwe Jerusaremu; havangatongonyarari masikati nousiku; imwi vayeudziri vaJehovha, regai kunyarara,

⁶`On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.` O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,

⁷uye musamutendera kuzorora, kusvikira asimbisa izvozvo, kusvikira aita Jerusaremu guta rinorumbidzwa panyika.

⁷And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem A praise in the earth.

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;

⁸Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: `I give not thy corn any more [as] food for thine enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For which thou hast laboured.

⁹asi vakazvikohwa ndivo vachazvidya, vachirumbidza Jehovha; vakaiunganidza ndivo vachaimwa pamavanze eimba yangu tsvene.

⁹For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy courts.`

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

¹⁰Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.

¹¹Tarirai, Jehovha anoparidza shoko kusvikira kumugumo wenyika, achiti, Udzai mukunda weZiyoni, muti, Tarira, ruponeso rwako runouya; tarira, mubayiro wake anawo, zvaanoripira zviri pamberi pake.

¹¹Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: `Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,` Lo, his hire [is] with him, and his wage before him.

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

¹²And they have cried to them, `People of the Holy One, Redeemed of Jehovah,` Yea, to thee is called, `Sought out one, a city not forsaken!`
