Isaya

31 Vane nhamo vaya vanodzika kuIjipiti kuti vanobatsirwa,+

Vanovimba nemabhiza,+

Vanovimba nengoro dzehondo nekuti izhinji,

Uye nemabhiza ehondo nekuti ane* simba.

Asi havatarisi kuMutsvene waIsraeri,

Uye havatsvagi Jehovha.

 2 Asi iye akachenjerawo uye achaunza dambudziko,

Uye haazochinji zvaataura.

Acharwisa imba yevanoita zvakaipa

Uye vaya vanobatsira vanoita zvisina kururama.+

 3 Zvisinei, vaIjipiti vanhu venyama uye havasi Mwari;

Mabhiza avo ndeenyama kwete mweya.+

Jehovha paachatambanudza ruoko rwake,

Wese anopa rubatsiro achagumburwa

Uye wese anobatsirwa achawa;

Vese vachaparara panguva imwe chete.

“Sekuhon’a kunoita shumba, shumba ine simba,* ichihon’era mhuka yayabata,

Panoshevedzwa boka rese revafudzi kuti vazoirwisa,

Iyo isingatyi inzwi ravo

Kana kutyiswa nemheremhere yavo,

Saizvozvowo Jehovha wemauto achaburuka

Kuzorwira Gomo reZiyoni nechikomo charo.

 8 MuAsiriya achaurayiwa nebakatwa, kwete remunhu;

Uye achaparadzwa nebakatwa risiri remunhu.+

Achatiza bakatwa,

Uye majaya ake achaitiswa basa rekumanikidzwa.

 9 Dombo rake richaparara nemhaka yekutya kukuru,

Uye machinda ake achabvunda nekutya bango rechiratidzo,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha,

Uyo ane chiedza chiri* muZiyoni uye ane choto chiri muJerusarema.
