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

¹Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

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

²Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

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.

³I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

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

⁴For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

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

⁵And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

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

⁶And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

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

⁷I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, [and] the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

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

⁸For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their 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 affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

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

¹⁰But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them.

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

¹¹Then he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people, [saying], Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

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

¹²that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

¹³Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?

¹³that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?

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

¹⁴As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make 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 down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.

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, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name.

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

¹⁷O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

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

¹⁸Thy holy people possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

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

¹⁹We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, as they that were not called by thy name.
