< Isaiah 52 >

1 Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
Muka, muka iwe Zioni, zvifukidze nesimba. Fuka nguo dzako dzakanakisa, iwe Jerusarema, guta dzvene. Vasina kudzingiswa navakasvibiswa havachapindizve mauri.
2 Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
Zunza guruva rako: simuka, ugare paushe, iwe Jerusarema. Zvisunungure pangetani dziri pamutsipa wako, iwe nhapwa, Mwanasikana weZioni.
3 For the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, “Wakatengeswa pasina mutengo, uye uchadzikinurwa pasina mari.”
4 For the Lord GOD says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Pakutanga vanhu vangu vakaenda kuIjipiti kundogarako; iye zvino Asiria inovamanikidza.
5 “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the LORD, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
“Uye zvino ndinei pano?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Nokuti vanhu vangu vakabviswa pasina, uye avo vanovatonga vanovaseka,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Uye zuva rose zita rangu rinogara richimhurwa.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
Naizvozvo vanhu vangu vachaziva zita rangu; naizvozvo pazuva iro vachaziva kuti ndini ndakazvitaura. Hongu, ndini iye.”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Dzakanaka sei pamusoro pamakomo tsoka dzavanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza rugare, vanouya namashoko akanaka, vanoparidza ruponeso, vanoti kuZioni, “Mwari wako anotonga!”
8 Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD returns to Zion.
Chinzwa! Nharirire dzako dzinodanidzira namanzwi adzo; vanopembera nomufaro pamwe chete. Panodzokera Jehovha kuZioni, vachazviona nameso avo pachavo.
9 Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Pururudzai muimbe nziyo dzomufaro pamwe chete, imi matongo eJerusarema, nokuti Jehovha anyaradza vanhu vake, akadzikinura Jerusarema.
10 The LORD has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Jehovha acharatidza ruoko rwake rutsvene pamberi pendudzi dzose, uye magumo ose enyika achaona ruponeso rwaMwari wedu.
11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.
Ibvai, ibvai, budai ikoko! Musabata chinhu chine tsvina! Budaimo mugova vakachena, imi munotakura midziyo yaJehovha.
12 For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Asi hamungazobudi nokukurumidza kana kuenda muchitiza; nokuti Jehovha achakutungamirirai, Mwari waIsraeri achakurindai mushure.
13 Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
Tarirai muranda wangu achaita nouchenjeri; achasimudzirwa uye achakwidzwa pamusoro, uye achakudzwa kwazvo.
14 Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
Sezvo vazhinji vakashamiswa naye, chiso chake chakanga chakakuvadzwa zvikuru, kupfuura chomunhu upi zvake, uye chimiro chake chakanga chakanganiswa, kupfuura kuratidzika kwomunhu,
15 so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
saka iye achasasa ndudzi zhinji, uye madzimambo achafumbira miromo nokuda kwake. Nokuti zvavakanga vasina kuudzwa, vachazviona, uye zvavasina kumbonzwa, vachazvinzwisisa.
