Isaya 54

¹Imba, iwe ngomwa, iwe usina kubereka;muka nokuimba , udanidzirise, iwe usina kumbosununguka; nokuti vana vouri oga vazhinji kukunda vana vomukadzi akawanikwa. Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

²Kurisa nzvimbo yetende rako, ngavatatamure maketeni eugaro hwako; usarega, urebese mabote ako, usimbise mbambo dzako.Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

³Nokuti uchapararira kuruoko rworudyi nokuruboshwe;vana vako vachagara nhaka yavahedheni,vaite matongo agarwe.For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

⁴Usatya , nokuti haunganyadziswi;uye usakanganiswa, nokuti haungavi nenyadzi; nokuti uchakanganwa kunyara kwohumhandara hwako, haungazorangariri kuzvidzwa kwohuchirikadzi hwako.Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

⁵Nokuti Muiti wako ndiye murume wako, Jehovha wehondo ndiro zita rake; Mudzikunuri wako ndiye Mutsvene waIsiraeri, iye achanzi Mwari wenyika yose.For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

⁶Nokuti Jehovha akakudana somukadzi, akasiyiwa ane shungu pamweya, somukadzi akawanikwa achiri muduku ndokuzorambwa ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wako.For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

⁷Kwechinguvana,ndakakusiya , asi nenyasha huru ndichakuunganidza.For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

⁸Nehasha dzakapupuma, ndakakuvanzira chiso changu kwechinguvana ; asi nohunyoro husingaperi ndichakunzwira nyasha , ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mudzikunuri wako.In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

⁹Nokuti izvi zvakaita semvura yaNoa kwandiri; nokuti sezva ndakapika kuti mvura yaNoa haingazodarikizve napanyika, saizvozvo ndakapika kuti handichazokutsamwiri, kana kukutuka.For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

¹⁰Nokuti makomo achabva, nezvikomo zvibviswe, asi hunyoro hwangu haungabvi kwauri, Kana sungano yangu yorugare haingabviswi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha ane nyasha newe.For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

¹¹Haiwa, iwe mutambudziki, wakaposerwa nedutu remhepo, usina kunyaradzwa, tarira, ndichateya mabwe ako namavara akanaka, ndichateya nheyo dzako namabwe esafiri.O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

¹²Ndichaita shongwe dzako ne-agati*, namasuo ako ne-kabhunakeri*, nomuganho wako wose namabwe anofadza.And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

¹³Navana vako vose vachadzidziswa naJehovha,uye ruchava rukuru, rugare rwavana vako.And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹⁴Uchasimbiswa mukururama; uchava kure nokumanikidzwa, nokuti haungatyi, uye kure nezvinotyisa, nokuti hakungaswederi kwauri.In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

¹⁵Tarira, vachavungana,asi kwete neni Aninani unovungana pamwe kurwa newe uchawa nokuda kwako.Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

¹⁶Tarira, ndakasika mupfuri anopfutidza mazimbe mumoto , ndokuita nhumbi yebasa rake; uye ini ndakasika muparadzi, kuti aparadze.Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

¹⁷Hakuna nhumbi yokurwa inopfurwa kuzorwa newe ingabudirira; rurimi rumwe norumwe runokukwirira pakutongwa ruchapiwa mhosva. Ndiyo nhaka yavaranda vaJehovha, nokururama kwavo ndo kwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
