1Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, Chengetai mutongo, muite zvakarurama; nekuti ruponeso rwangu rwava pedo kusvika, uye kururama kwangu koratidzwa.
1Thus says Yahweh, “Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2Akaropafadzwa munhu anoita izvi, noMwanakomana womunhu anozvibatisisa; anochengeta sabata arege kurisvibisa , nokudzora ruoko rwake kuti arege kuita chinhu chipi nechipi chakaipa.
2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3Usaregawo mwanakomana womutorwa akanamatira Jehovha, achitaura achiti, Zvirokwazvo Jehovha akandiparadzanisa navanhu vake; nowakachekwa ngaarege kuti, Tarirai, ndiri muti wakaoma.
3Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, “Yahweh will surely separate me from his people”; neither let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4nekuti zvanzi naJehovha pamusoro pavakachekwa, Vanochengeta masabata angu, nokusanangura zvinondifadza, navanobatisisa sungano yangu.
4For thus says Yahweh, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
5Ndichavapavo mumba mangu nomukati mamasvingo angu chiyeudzo nezita rinopfuura ravanakomana navanasikana; ndichavapa zita risingaperi, risingazogurwi.
5to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6Navanakomana vomutorwawo vanozvisanganisa naJehovha, kuti vamushumire, nokuda zita raJehovha, kuti vave varanda vake, vose vanochengeta sabata kuti arege kurisvibisa, nokubatisisa sungano yangu;
6Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh, to minister to him, and to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
7naivavo ndichavauyisa kugomo rangu dzvene, nokuvafadza muimba yangu yokunyengetera; zvipiriso zvavo zvinopiswa nezvibayiro zvavo zvichagamuchirwa paaritari yangu; nekuti imba yangu ichanzi imba yokunyengetera yavanhu vose.
7even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
8Ishe Jehovha, anounganidza vakadzingwa vaIsiraeri,anoti,Ipapo ndichaunganidzazve vamwe kwaari, pamusoro pavake vakaunganidzwa.
8The Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered.”
9imwi mose zvikara zvokusango, uyai mudye, imwi mose zvikara zvokudondo.
9All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
10Nharirire dzake mapofu, vose havane zivo; vose imbwa mbeveve, havagoni kuhukura, dzinovata, dzinotsivama pasi, dzinofarira kutsumaira.
10His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can’t bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11Zvirokwazvo, imbwa dzinokara, dzisingatongoguti; ava vafudzi, vasingagoni kunzwisisa, mumwe nomumwe wakatsaukira kunzira yake, mumwe nomumwe kufuma yake, vose-vose.
11Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can’t understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12Vanoti, Uyai, ndichauya newaini, tichaguta nezvinobata, mangwana achaita sezuva ranhasi,zuva guru-guru kwazvo.
12“Come,” say they, “I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure.”
