¹Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

²Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako kugomo reSeiri, uporofite pamusoro paro,

³And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

³uti kwariri, zanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarira, ndine mhaka newe, iwe gomo reSeiri, ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kwauri, ndichakuita dongo nechishamiso.

⁴I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

⁴Ndichaparadza maguta ako, iwe uchava dongo; zvino uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁵Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

⁵nekuti wakavenga vana vaIsiraeri nokuvenga kusingaperi, ukavaisa pasimba romunondo nenguva yenjodzi yavo, nenguva yezvakaipa zvokupedzisira;

⁶Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

⁶naizvozvo noupenyu hwangu; ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, ndichakugadzirira ropa, ropa richakuteverera; zvausina kuvenga ropa, ropa richakuteverera.

⁷Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

⁷Saizvozvo ndichaita gomo reSeiri chishamiso nedongo; ndichaparadza mariri vanofamba napo navanodzoka napo.

⁸And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

⁸Ndichazadza makomo aro navanhu varo vakaurayiwa; muzvikomo zvako nomumipata yako napahova dzako dzose ndipo pachawa vakauyirawa nomunondo.

⁹I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

⁹Ndichakuita dongo nokusingaperi, maguta ako haangagarwi; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹⁰Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

¹⁰Zvawakati, Marudzi awa maviri nenyika idzi mbiri zvichava zvangu, zvichava nhaka yedu, kunyange Jehovha akanga aripo;

¹¹Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

¹¹naizvozvo noupenyu hwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha ndichaita zvakafanira kutsamwa kwako, uye zvakafanira godo rako rawakavaitira nokuvenga kwako; zvino ini ndichazvizivisa pakati pavo, kana ndichikutonga iwe.

¹²And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

¹²lwe uchaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndakanzwa kumhura kwako kose kwawakataura pamusoro pamakomo aIsiraeri, uchiti, Akaparadzwa, takaapiwa isu zvive zvokudya zvedu.

¹³Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

¹³Makazvikudza kwandiri nemiromo yenyu, makawanza mashoko enyu kwandiri; ndazvinzwa.

¹⁴Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

¹⁴Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Kana nyika yose ichifara, ndichakuita iwe dongo.

¹⁵As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

¹⁵Sezvawakafara pamusoro penhaka yeimba yaIsiraeri, nemhaka yokuti yakaitwa dongo, saizvozvo ndichakuitirawo; uchava dongo, iwe gomo reSeiri, neEdhomu rose, izvo zvose zvaro; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
