Isaya 1

¹Chiratidzo chaIsaya mwanakomana waAmozi, chaakaona pamusoro peJudha neJerusarema pamazuva aUzia naJotamu, naAhazi naHezekia, madzimambo eJudha.

²Inzwai imi matenga! Teerera iwe nyika! Nokuti Jehovha akataura achiti, “Ndakarera vana ndikavakudza, asi ivo vakandimukira.

³Nzombe inoziva vatenzi vayo, nembongoro inoziva chidyiro chomwene wayo, asi Israeri haizivi, vanhu vangu havanzwisisi.”

⁴Haiwa, rudzi runotadza, vanhu vakaremerwa nezvakaipa, vana vavaiti vezvakaipa, vana vanoita zvakaora! Vakasiya Jehovha; vakashora Mutsvene waIsraeri vakamufuratira.

⁵Mucharambireiko muchingorohwa? Munorambireiko muchimukira Jehovha? Musoro wenyu wose wakuvadzwa, mwoyo wenyu wose warwadziwa.

⁶Kubvira pasi porutsoka rwako kusvikira panhongonya yomusoro wako hapana pakukutu, anongova maronda nokurwadziwa namavanga akazaruka, asina kusukwa kana kusungwa kana kuzorwa mafuta.

⁷Nyika yenyu yaparadzwa, Maguta enyu apiswa nomoto; minda yenyu iri kutorwa navatorwa pamberi penyu chaipo, nyika yaparadzwa sapanoparadza vatorwa.

⁸Mwanasikana weZioni asiyiwa sedumba mumunda wemizambiringa, seimba mumunda wamanwiwa, seguta rakakombwa.

⁹Dai Jehovha Wamasimba Ose asina kutisiyira vakapunyuka, tingadai takafanana neSodhomu, tingadai takaita seGomora.

¹⁰Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vabati veSodhomu; teererai kumurayiro waMwari wedu, imi vanhu veGomora!

¹¹“Zvibayiro zvenyu zvizhinji, zvinyiko kwandiri?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Zvibayiro zvinopiswa zvawandisa, zvamakondobwe namafuta ezvipfuwo zvakakodzwa; Handifadzwi neropa renzombe, ramakwayana nerembudzi.

¹²Pamunouya kuzozviratidza pamberi pangu, ndianiko akambokukumbirai izvi kwamuri, naikoku kutsika-tsika pavazhe dzangu?

¹³Regai kuuya nezvipiriso zvisina maturo! Zvinonhuhwira zvenyu zvinondinyangadza. Nguva dzoKugara kwoMwedzi, maSabata nenguva dzekokorodzano, handigoni kufarira ungano dzenyu dzakaipa.

¹⁴Mitambo yenyu yoKugara kwoMwedzi nemitambo yenyu yakatsaurwa inovengwa nomweya wangu. Zvava mutoro kwandiri; ndaneta nokuzvitakura.

¹⁵Pamunotambanudza maoko enyu muchinyengetera, ini ndichakuvanzirai chiso changu; kunyange mukawanza munyengetero, handisi kuzokunzwai. Maoko enyu azere neropa;

¹⁶shambai muzvinatse. Bvisai mabasa enyu akaipa pamberi pangu! Regai kuita zvakaipa,

¹⁷dzidzai kuita zvakarurama. Tsvakai kururamisira, kurudzirai vakamanikidzwa. Dzivirirai nherera, mukumbirire chirikadzi.

¹⁸“Chiuyai zvino titaurirane,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Kunyange zvivi zvenyu zviri zvitsvuku zvichachena sechando; kunyange zviri zvishava somuti mushava, zvichaita samakushe amakwai.

¹⁹Kana muchida uye muchiteerera muchadya zvakanakisa zvenyika;

²⁰asi kana muchiramba uye muchindimukira, muchaparadzwa nomunondo.” Nokuti muromo waJehovha wazvitaura.

²¹Tarirai guta rakatendeka rava chifeve sei! Iro rakanga rizere nokururamisira; kururama kwaigara mariri, asi zvino mogara mhondi!

²²Sirivha yako yava nengura, waini yako yakavhenganiswa nemvura.

²³Machinda ako vapanduki, ishamwari dzembavha; vose vanoda fufuro, uye vanomhanyira zvipo. Havana hanya nokudzivirira nherera; mhaka yechirikadzi haiuyiswi pamberi pavo.

²⁴Naizvozvo Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Anesimba waIsraeri, anotaura achiti, “Haiwa, ndichadurura hasha dzangu pamusoro pavadzivisi vangu, nokuzvitsivira vavengi vangu.

²⁵Ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kwauri; ndichapedza chose ngura yako ndigobvisa kusachena kwako kwose.

²⁶Ndichadzosera vatongi vako sapamazuva akare, namakurukota ako sapamazuva okutanga. Shure kwaizvozvo uchanzi Guta Rokururama, Guta Rakatendeka.”

²⁷Zioni richadzikinurwa nokururamiswa, navanotendeuka varo, nokururama.

²⁸Asi vapanduki navatadzi vachaparadzwa vose, uye vose vanosiya Jehovha vachaparara.

²⁹“Nokuti muchanyadziswa nokuda kwemiti yomuouki yamunoeresa, yamunofadzwa nayo; muchanyadziswa nokuda kwamapindu amakasarudza.

³⁰Muchafanana nomuouki wasvava mashizha, sebindu risina mvura.

³¹Murume ane simba achava serwodzi nebasa rake sesasaradzi; zvose zvichatsva pamwe chete, pasina achadzima moto.”
