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 saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

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

²I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;

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

³and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.

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

⁴For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though 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; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me;

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

⁶that they may 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.

⁷I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.

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

⁸Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Jehovah, have created it.

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

⁹Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

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

¹⁰Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou?

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

¹¹Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.

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

¹²I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I commanded.

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

¹³I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith 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 saith Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

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

¹⁵Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

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

¹⁶They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols.

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

¹⁷[But] Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.

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 saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: 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.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

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

²⁰Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

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 [it] forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me.

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

²²Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the 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 have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

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

²⁴Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all they that were incensed against him shall be put to shame.

²⁵Rudzi rwose rwaIsiraeri rucharuramisirwa muna Jehovha, nokuzvirumbidza maari.

²⁵In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
