Isaya 27

¹Nezuva iro Jehovha acharova nomunondo wake mukukutu, mukuru, noune simba, revhiatani, iyo nyoka inokurumidza, iyo, nyoka yakagonyana; achauraya chikara chiri mugungwa.In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

²Nezuva iro vachaimba vachiti, Munda wemizambiringa, chiumbira!In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

³Ini Jehovha ndini muchengeti wawo; ndichaudiridza nguva imwe neimwe; ndichauchengeta masikati nousiku, kuti urege kutadzirwa nomunhu.I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

⁴Ini handina hasha; dai rukato neminzwa zvairwa neni! Ndaizvivamba, ndaizvipisa pamwechete.Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

⁵Kana asingadaro, ngaabate simba rangu, ayanane neni, ngaayanane neni.Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

⁶Namazuva anouya Jakobho achamera midzi; Isiraeri achatunga maruva nokutumbuka; vachazadza nyika yose nezvibereko.He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷Ko akavarova iye sezvaakarova avo vakavarova here? Ko vakaurawa nokuurawa kwaivo vakaurawa navo here?Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

⁸Pakuvadzinga kwenyu makarwa navo nechiyero chakafanira; wakavabvisa nemhepo yake ine simba nezuva remhepo yokumabvazuva.In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

⁹Saka nenzira iyi zvakaipa zvaJakobho zvichadzikunurwa; izvi ndizvo zvibereko zvose zvokubviswa kwezvivi zvake, kana achiita mabwe ose earitari ave samabwe omunyaka akaputswa-putswa, kuti miti yakatsaurwa nemifananidzo yezuva zvirege kuzomiswa.By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

¹⁰Nokuti guta, rakakombwa norusvingo, rasiyiwa riri roga, hwava hugaro hwasiyiwa riri dongo, serenje; ndipo pachava namafuro emhuru, ndipo paichavata pasi, ichidya mashizha apo.Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

¹¹Kana matavi apo aoma, achavhunwa; vakadzi vachauya vachiapisa; nokuti vanhu ava havana njere; saka akavaita haangavi netsitsi navo, akavaumba haangavi norudo navo.When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

¹²Zvino nezuva iro Jehovha achapura zviyo kubvira pamvura yoRwizi kusvikira parukova rweIjipiti; imi muchaunganidzwa, muchiita mumwe-mumwe, imi vana vaIsiraeti.And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

¹³Zvino nezuva iro hwamanda huru icharidzwa; vakanga voparara panyika yeAsiria, navakanga vadzingirwa kunyika yeIjipiti, vachauya; vachanamata Jehovha pagomo dzvene paJerusaremu.And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
