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 says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; 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;

²“I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of brass in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.

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

³I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your 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 you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.

⁵Ndini Jehovha, hakuna mumwe; kunze kwangu hakuna mumwe Mwari. Ndichakusunga chiuno kunyange usina kundiziva;

⁵I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen or, equip you, though you have 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 Yahweh, and there is no one 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 calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

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

⁸Distil, you 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 with it. I, Yahweh, 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 to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

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

¹⁰Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘To what have you given birth?’”

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

¹¹Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

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

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

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,” says Yahweh of Armies.

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 says Yahweh: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is none else. There is no other god.

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

¹⁵Most certainly you are a God who hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”

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

¹⁶They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

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

¹⁷Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

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 says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh; and there is no other.

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 didn’t say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, 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.

²⁰“Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t 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 and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is no one besides me.

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

²²“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

²³Ndakapika neni ndimene, shoko rabuda mumuromo mangu nokururama haringadzoki namabvi ose achandifugamira, marimi ose achapika neni.

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

²⁴They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.

²⁵Rudzi rwose rwaIsiraeri rucharuramisirwa muna Jehovha, nokuzvirumbidza maari.
