1Ndakatendera kuti nditsvakwe navasina kundibvunza, ndakatendera kuti ndiwanikwe navasina kunditsvaka; ndakati kurudzi rwakanga rusingatumidzwi nezita rangu, Tarirai ndini, tarirai ndini.
1I am sought out of them that inquired not [for me], I am found of them that sought me not; I have 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 stretched out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way not good, after their own thoughts;
3vanhu vanogara vachinditambudza pachena, vanobayira zvibayiro paminda, vachipisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pezvitinha;
3the people that provoke me to anger continually to my face, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense upon the bricks;
4vanogara pakati pamakuva, vachivata panzvimbo dzakavandika; vanodya nyama yenguruve, uye muto wezvinhu zvinonyangadza uri mumidziyo yavo;
4who sit down among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who 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.
5who 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, even 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 iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, who have burned incense upon the mountains, and outraged me upon the hills; and I will measure their former 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 it is said, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it; so will I do for my servants' sakes, 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 a possessor of my mountains; and mine elect shall possess it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10Bani reSharo richava mafuro amakwai, nomupata weAkori nzvimbo pangavata mombe pasi, zvichava zvavanhu vangu vakanditsvaka.
10And the Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, and the valley of Achor a couching-place of the herds, 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 who forsake Jehovah, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and fill up mixed wine unto Meni:
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 even assign you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down in the slaughter; because I called, and ye did not answer, I spoke, and ye did not hear; but ye did what was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight 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, and *ye* shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, and *ye* shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and *ye* shall be ashamed;
14tarirai, varanda vangu vachaimba nokufara komoyo, asi imwi muchachema nokurwadziwa komoyo, muchaungudza nokuputsika komweya.
14behold, my servants shall sing aloud for gladness of heart, and *ye* shall cry out for sorrow of heart, and shall howl 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 mine elect; for the Lord Jehovah will slay thee, and 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 land shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the God of truth: because the former troubles shall be forgotten, and because they shall be hidden 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 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 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 over Jerusalem, and will joy in my people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor 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 thenceforth an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not completed his days; for the youth 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 thereof:
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 mine elect 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 labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; 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; 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 meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.
