¹Ndianiko uyu anobva Edhomu, ane nguvo dzakatsvuka dzinobva Bhozira? Ndiani uyo akafuka zvinobwinya, anofamba noukuru bwesimba rake? Ndini ndinotaura nokururama, ndine simba rokuponesa.

¹`Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?` — `I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.`

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

²`Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?`

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.

³— `A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

⁴nekuti ndakafunga zuva rokutsiva mumoyo mangu; gore ravakadzikunurwa vangu rasvika.

⁴For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.

⁵Ndikatarira, ndikashayiwa anobatsira, ndikashamiswa nekuti kwakanga kusina anotsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, kutsamwa kwangu ndiko kwakanditsigira.

⁵And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath — it hath supported me.

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

⁶And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.

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

⁷The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.

⁸nekuti akati, Zvirokwazvo, ndivo vanhu vangu, vana vasingazoiti nokunyengera; naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.

⁸And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons — they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour.

⁹Pakutambudzika kwavo kose naiyewo akanga achitambudzika, mutumwa, wakavazivisa chiso chake, akavaponesa; akavadzikunura norudo rwake netsitsi dzake, akavasimudza nokuvatakura mazuva ose akare.

⁹In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

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

¹⁰And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.

¹¹Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, Mozisi navanhu vake, vakati, Aripiko iye akaisa Mweya wake mutsvene pakati pavo?

¹¹And He remembereth the days of old, Moses — his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?

¹²Aripiko iye akafambisa ruoko rwake runokudzwa parutivi rwaMozisi, akaparadzanisa mvura zhinji pamberi pavo kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi?

¹²Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.

¹³Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?

¹³Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.

¹⁴Mweya waJehovha wakavazorodza, semombe dzinoburukira kumupata; saizvozvo makafambisa vanhu venyu, kuti muzviwanire mukurumbira mukuru-kuru.

¹⁴As a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to Thyself a glorious name.

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

¹⁵Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.

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

¹⁶For Thou [art] our Father, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our Father, Our redeemer from the age, [is] Thy name.

¹⁷Haiwa, Jehovha, munotirega neiko tichitsauka panzira dzenyu, nokuomesa moyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.

¹⁷Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy servants` sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance.

¹⁸Vanhu venyu vatsvene vakanga vanayo nguva duku hayo; vadzivisi vedu vakatsika pasi imba yenyu tsvene.

¹⁸For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.

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

¹⁹We have been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
