Isaya 63

¹Ndianiko uyu anobva Edhomu, anobva Bhozira ane nguvo dzakatsvuka kwazvo? Ndiani uyo akafuka zvinobwinya, anofamba noukuru hwesimba rake? Ndini ndinotaura nokururama, ndine simba rokuponesa.Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

²Ko nguvo yenyu yakatsvuka nei? Zvokufuka zvenyu zvakafanana nezvomunhu anotsika muchisviniro chewaini neiko?Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

³Ini ndakatsika chisviniro chewaini ndoga; kwakanga kusina munhu wamarudzi avanhu aiva neni; zvirokwazvo, ndakavatsika pakutsamwa kwangu, ndakavapwanya pahasha dzangu; ropa ravo rikatsatikira panguvo dzangu, ndikasvibisa zvokufuka zvangu zvose.I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

⁴Nokuti ndakafunga zuva rokutsiva mumoyo mangu; gore ravakadzikunurwa vangu rasvika.For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

⁵Ndikatarira, ndikashayiwa anobatsira, ndikashamiswa nokuti kwakanga kusina anotsigira; naizvozvo ruoko rwangu rwakandivigira ruponeso, kutsamwa kwangu ndiko kwakanditsigira.And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

⁶Ndikatsika-tsika marudzi avanhu pakutsamwa kwangu, ndikavapengesa nedoro rokutsamwa kwangu, ndikadurura ropa rohupenyu hwavo pasi.And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

⁷Ndicharumbidza hunyoro hwaJehovha namabasa aJehovha anofanira kurumbidzwa, nokuda kwezvose zvatakaitirwa naJehovha nezvakanaka zvizhinji kuimba yaIsiraeri, zvaakavaitira nokuda kwenyasha dzake, uye nokuda kwohunyoro hwake.I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

⁸Nokuti akati, Zvirokwazvo, ndivo vanhu vangu, vana vasingazoiti nokunyengera; naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo.For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

⁹Pakutambudzika kwavo kwose naiyewo akanga achitambudzika, mutumwa, wakavazivisa chiso chake, akavaponesa; akavadzikunura norudo rwake netsitsi dzake, akavasimudza nokuvatakura mazuva ose akare.In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

¹⁰Asi vakamumukira, nokuchemedza Mweya wake mutsvene; naizvozvo akashanduka, akava muvengi wavo, akarwa navo amene.But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

¹¹Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, Mosesi navanhu vake, vakati, Aripiko iye akaisa Mweya wake mutsvene pakati pavo?Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

¹²Aripiko iye akafambisa ruoko rwake runokudzwa parutivi rwaMosesi, akaparadzanisa mvura zhinji pamberi pavo kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi?That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

¹³Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

¹⁴Mweya waJehovha wakavazorodza, semombe dzinoburukira kumupata; saizvozvo makafambisa vanhu venyu, kuti muzviwanire mukurumbira mukuru-kuru.As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

¹⁵Tarirai pasi muri kudenga, muone muri pahugaro hwenyu hutsvene hunobwinya, kushingaira kwenyu namabasa enyu ane simba aripiko? Kushuva kwomoyo wenyu netsitsi dzenyu zvadzorwa kwandiri.Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

¹⁶Nokuti muri baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahamu asingatizivi, naIsiraeri asingatiziururi; imi Jehovha muri baba vedu, Mudzikunuri wedu kubva kare nakare, ndiro zita renyu.Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

¹⁷Haiwa, Jehovha, munotirega neiko tichitsauka panzira dzenyu, nokuomesa moyo yedu kuti tirege kukutyai? Dzokai nokuda kwavaranda venyu, iwo marudzi enhaka yenyu.O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

¹⁸Vanhu venyu vatsvene vakanga vanayo nguva duku hayo; vadzivisi vedu vakatsika pasi imba yenyu tsvene.The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

¹⁹Isu tafanana navasina kutongobatwa nemi, navasina kutumidzwa nezita renyu.We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
