¹A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

¹Zvino pahunde yaJese pachabuda bukira, davi, rinobuda pamidzi yake, richabereka zvibereko.

²The Spirit of Yahweh will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

²Mweya waJehovha uchagara pamusoro pake, mweya wenjere nowokungwara, mweya wamano nesimba, mweya wokuziva nokutya Jehovha.

³His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

³Hwema hwake hwuchava pakutya Jehovha; haangatongi nokungoona nameso chete, kana kupa mhosva nokungonzwa nenzeve dzake chete;

⁴but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

⁴asi achatongera varombo nokururama, achatambira vanyoro venyika mhaka dzavo zvakarurama; acharova nyika neshamhu yomuromo wake, achavauraya vakaipa nomweya wemiromo yake.

⁵Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his waist.

⁵Kururama richava bhanhire rechiuno chake, kutendeka richava bhanhire rezvidzva zvake.

⁶The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.

⁶Bere richagara negwayana, ingwe ichavata pasi nembudzana, nemhuru nomwana weshumba nechipfuwo chakakora pamwechete; uye mwana muduku achadzitungamirira.

⁷The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.

⁷Mhou nebere zvichafura; vana vadzo vachavata pamwechete; shumba ichadya uswa senzombe.

⁸The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

⁸Mwana anomwa, achatamba pamwena wenyoka, uye mwana akarumurwa achapinza ruoko rwake mubako remvumbi.

⁹They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

⁹Hazvingakuvadzi kana kuparadza pagomo rangu rose dzvene, nekuti nyika yose ichazara nokuziva Jehovha, sezvinofukidza mvura pasi pegungwa.

¹⁰It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

¹⁰Nezuva iro mudzi waJese, iwo umirepo somureza wavanhu, uchatsvakwa namarudzi avanhu; nzvimbo yake yokuzorora ichava nembiri.

¹¹It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

¹¹Zvino nezuva iro Ishe achatambanudzazve ruoko rwake kechipiri kuti adzikunure vakasara vavanhu vake, ivo vanenge vasara, vari paAsiria,

¹²He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

¹²Achasimudzira marudzi mureza, nokuunganidza vadzingwa vaIsiraeri, nokuunganidza VaJudha vakaparadzirwa kumativi mana enyika.

¹³The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute Ephraim.

¹³Ipapo godo ravaEfuremu richapera, navanomanikidza vaJudha vachaparadzwa; vaEfuremu havangagodori vaJudha, navaJudha havangamanikidzi vaEfuremu.

¹⁴They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.

¹⁴Asi vachabhururukira pamusoro pamafudzi avaFirisitia kumavirazuva, vachapambara pamwechete vana vamabvazuva; vachatambanudzira maoko avo kuvaEdhomu navaMoabhi, navana vaAmoni vachavateerera.

¹⁵Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.

¹⁵Jehovha achaparadza chose muromo wegungwa reEgipita, achasimudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro poRwizi nemhepo yake inopisa, ndokururova ruite hova nomwe, ayambuse vanhu vakafuka shangu.

¹⁶There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁶Vanhu vake vakasara, vakasara Asiria, vachava nenzira huru; sezvazvakaitirwa Isiraeri nezuva ravakabuda munyika yeEgipita.
