1Ndakatendera kuti nditsvakwe navasina kundibvunza, ndakatendera kuti ndiwanikwe navasina kunditsvaka; ndakati kurudzi rwakanga rusingatumidzwi nezita rangu, Tarirai ndini, tarirai ndini.
1I am inquired of by them that asked not [for me]; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2Ndakatambanudzira maoko angu zuva rose kurudzi rwavanhu rwakandimukira, vanofamba nenzira isakanaka, vachitevera ndangariro dzavo;
2I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3vanhu vanogara vachinditambudza pachena, vanobayira zvibayiro paminda, vachipisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pezvitinha;
3a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
4vanogara pakati pamakuva, vachivata panzvimbo dzakavandika; vanodya nyama yenguruve, uye muto wezvinhu zvinonyangadza uri mumidziyo yavo;
4that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5vanoti, Mira woga, usaswedera kwandiri, nekuti ndiri mutsvene kupfuura iwe. Ava utsi mumhino dzangu, moto unopfuta zuva rose.
5that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6Tarirai zvakanyorwa pamberi pangu, Handinganyarari, asi ndicharitsiva, zvirokwazvo ndicharitsiva nokutsiva kuzere,
6Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,
7zvakaipa zvenyu, nezvakaipa zvamadzibaba enyu pamwechete, vakapisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pezvikomo; naizvozvo ndichatanga kuvayerera mabasa avo nokuyera kuzere ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
7your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
8Zvanzi naJehovha, Zvakafanana nomunhu kana achiwana waini itsva musumbu remizambiringa, mumwe akati, Usariparadza, nekuti mukomborero urimo; ndizvo zvandichaita nokuda kwavaranda vangu, kuti ndirege kuvaparadza vose.
8Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9Ndichabudisa rudzi kuna Jakove, nomudyi wenhaka yamakomo angu kuna Judha; vasanangurwa vangu vachagara nhaka, navaranda vangu vachagarapo.
9And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10Bani reSharo richava mafuro amakwai, nomupata weAkori nzvimbo pangavata mombe pasi, zvichava zvavanhu vangu vakanditsvaka.
10And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11Asi imwi munosiya Jehovha, nokukangamwa gomo rangu dzvene, imwi munogadzirira Gadhi tafura, nokudirira Meni waini yakavhenganiswa.
11But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny;
12Ndichakutemerai muurawe nomunondo, imwi mose muchakotamira pakubayiwa; nekuti panguva yandakadana, hamuna kupindura; panguva yandakataura, hamuna kunzwa; asi makaita zvakaipa pamberi pangu, mukasanangura zvandakanga ndisingafariri.
12I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
13Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarirai, varanda vangu vachadya, asi imwi muchava nenzara; tarirai, varanda vangu vachamwa, asi imwi muchava nenyota; tarirai, varanda vangu vachafara, asi imwi muchanyadziswa;
13Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame;
14tarirai, varanda vangu vachaimba nokufara komoyo, asi imwi muchachema nokurwadziwa komoyo, muchaungudza nokuputsika komweya.
14behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
15imwi muchasiira vasanangurwa vangu zita renyu, rive rokutuka naro; Ishe Jehovha achakuuraya, ndokutumidza varanda vake rimwe zita;
15And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name:
16kuti ani naani anozviti ndakaropafadzwa panyika, achati ndakaropafadzwa naMwari wachokwadi; nekuti matambudziko okutanga akakanganikwa, nekuti avanzirwa meso angu.
16so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17nekuti tarirai, ndinosika denga idzva nenyika itsva; zvinhu zvakare hazvingarangarirwi, kana kufungwa nomoyo.
17For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18Asi imwi farai mufarisise nokusingaperi pamusoro pezvandinosika; nekuti tarirai, ndinosika Jerusaremu rive guta romufaro, navanhu varo vave nomufaro.
18But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19Ndichafarira Jerusaremu, nokuva nomufaro pamusoro pavanhu vangu; mukati maro hamuchazonzwikwi inzwi rokuchema, kana inzwi rokuridza mhere.
19And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
20Hapangazovipo rushiye runamazuva mashoma, kana mutana asina kusvitsa mazuva ake; nekuti mwana achafa apedza makore ane zana, nomutadzi acharohwa nokutukwa kana asvika makore ane zana.
20There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21Vachavaka dzimba nokugaramo; vachasima minda yemizambiringa, nokudya michero yayo.
21And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22Havangavaki dzimba, mumwe achizogaramo; havangasimi, mumwe achizodya; nekuti samazuva omuti, ndizvo zvichaita mazuva avanhu vangu; vasanangurwa vangu vachapedza nguva huru vachifarira mabasa amaoko avo.
22They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23Havangabatiri zvisina maturo, kana kubereka vana vachakurumidza kuparadzwa; nekuti ndivo vana vavakaropafadzwa naJehovha, zvibereko zvavo zvichagara navo.
23They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.
24Zvino ndichapindura vasati vadana, ndichanzwa vachitaura.
24And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25Bere negwayana zvichafura pamwechete, shumba ichadya uswa senzombe, uye guruva richava zvokudya zvenyoka. Havangakuvadzi kana kuparadza pagomo rangu rose dzvene ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.
