1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
1Inzwai shoko iri rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu, imwi vana vaIsiraeri, pamusoro porudzi rwose rwandakabudisa panyika yeEgipita, ndichiti,
2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
2Ndimi moga vandakaziva pakati pamarudzi ose enyika; naizvozvo ndichakurovai pamusoro pezvakaipa zvenyu zvose.
3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
3Ko vaviri vangafamba pamwechete vasina kusangana here?
4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
4Ko shumba ingaomba mudondo isina chayakaruma here? Ko shumba duku ingarira mubako rayo isina chayakabata here?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
5Ko shiri ingawira pasi mumusungo paisina kudzikirwa rugombe here? Ko musungo ungaurukira kumusoro usina chawakabata here?
6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
6Ko hwamanda ingaridzwa muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Ko guta ringawirwa nezvakaipa, Jehovha asina kuzviita here?
7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
7Zvirokwazvo, Ishe Jehovha haangaiti chinhu, asina kumbozivisa varanda vake vaporofita zvakavanzika zvake.
8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
8Shumba yaomba; ndiani angarega kutya? Ishe Jehovha akataura; ndiani angarega kuporofita?
9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
9Paridzirai mudzimba dzoushe paAshidhodhi, nomudzimba dzoushe munyika yeEgipita, muti, Unganai pamakomo eSamariya muone bope guru riripo nokumanikidzwa kuri mukati maro.
10For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
10nekuti havazivi kuita zvakarurama ndizvo, zvinotaura Jehovha ivo vanounganidza kumanikidza nokupamba mudzimba dzavo dzoushe.
11Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
11Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Muvengi aripo, pose-pose panyika; iye achakubvisira simba rako, uye dzimba dzako dzeushe dzichapambwa.
12Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
12Zvanzi naJehovha, Mufudzi sezvaanobvuta pamuromo weshumba makumbo maviri kana chipande chenzveve, saizvozvo vana vaIsiraeri vachabvutwawo, ivo vagere Samaria pamucheto weuvato, uye pamitsamiro yemicheka yesiriki yemubhedha.
13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
13Inzwa, mupupurire imba yaJakove, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, Mwari wehondo.
14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
14nekuti nezuva randicharova Isiraeri pamusoro pokudarika kwavo, ndicharovawo maaritari eBhetieri; nyanga dzearitari dzichagurwa nokuwira pasi.
15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
15Ndichaputsa dzimba dzechando pamwechete nedzimba dzezhizha; dzimba dzenyanga dzenzou dzichaparadzwa, uye dzimba huru dzichapera, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
