1Muka, muka, iwe Ziyoni, uzvifukidze nesimba rako; pfeka nguvo dzako dzakaisvonaka, iwe Jerusaremu, guta dzvene; nekuti kubva zvino hakuna angapinda mukati mako asina kudzingiswa nousakanaka.
1Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2Zvizunze ubve muguruva; simuka, ugare kwazvo, iwe Jerusaremu; zvisunungura pazvisungo zviri pamutsipa wako, iwe mukunda wakatapwa weZiyoni.
2Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3nekuti zvanzi naJehovha Makazvitengesa kusina mutengo; muchadzikunurwa kusina mari.
3For thus says Yahweh, “You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money.”
4nekuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Vanhu vangu vakaburukira Egipita kare kundogarako, muAsiria akavamanikidza pasina mhosva.
4For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5Ko zvino ndinoonei pano; ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; vanhu vangu zvavabviswa pasina? Vanovabata ushe vanopopota, zita rangu rinongomhurwa zuva rose, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
5“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
6Saka vanhu vangu vachaziva zita rangu; saka vachaziva nezuva iro kuti ndini iye anotaura; tarirai, ndini.
6Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks; behold, it is I.”
7Dzakanaka sei pamusoro pamakomo tsoka dzoanouya namashoko akanaka, anoparidza rugare, anouya namashoko akanaka ezvinhu zvakanaka, anoparidza ruponeso, anoti kuZiyoni, Mwari wako anobata ushe!
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8Chinzwa inzwi renharirire dzako! Dzinodana namanzwi, dzinoimba pamwechete; nekuti dzichaonana zviso zvakatarisana, kana Jehovha achidzokera Ziyoni.
8The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9Pemberai nomufaro, imbai pamwechete, imwi matongo eJerusaremu, nekuti Jehovha wakanyaradza vanhu vake, wakadzikunura Jerusaremu.
9Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10Jehovha akafukura ruoko rwake rutsvene pamberi pamarudzi ose; migumo yose yenyika yakaona ruponeso rwaMwari wedu.
10Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11Ibvai, ibvai, budai ipapo, musabata chinhu chine tsvina; budai pakati paro; zvinatsei, imwi munotakura nhumbi dzaJehovha.
11Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing! Go out of the midst of her! Cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yahweh.
12nekuti hamungabudi muchikurumidza, kana kuenda muchitiza; nekuti Jehovha achakutungamirirai; Mwari waIsiraeri achakurindirai mumashure.
12For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13Tarirai, muranda wangu achaita nokuchenjera, achakwiridzwa nokusimudzwa, nokukwirira kwazvo.
13Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14Vazhinji sezvavakashamiswa pamusoro pako (chiso chake chakanga chakakuvadzwa kupfuura chavamwe vanhu, nechimiro chake kupfuura chavanakomana vavanhu),
14Like as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
15saizvozvo achavhundusa marudzi mazhinji; madzimambo achapfumbira miromo yawo pamusoro pake, nekuti vachaona zvavasina kumboudzwa; vachanzwisisa zvavasina kumbonzwa.
15so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
