1Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
1Isa hwamanda pamuromo wako. Zvinouya segondo kuzorwa neimba yaJehovha, nekuti vakadarika sungano yangu nokutadzira murayiro wangu.
2Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
2Vachadana kwandiri, vachiti, Mwari wangu, isu vaIsiraeri tinokuzivai.
3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
3Isiraeri vakarasha zvakanaka; muvengi wavo achavateverera.
4They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
4Vakagadza madzimambo, asi havana kurairwa neni; vakazvitsaurira machinda, ini ndisingazvizivi; vakazviitira zvifananidzo nesirivha uye nendarama yavo, kuti zviparadzwe.
5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
5Mhuru yako, iwe Samaria, inonyangadza; kutsamwa kwangu kwakavamukira; kusvikira riniko pavachazokwanisa kusununguka pakurangwa?
6For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
6nekuti chinhu ichi chakabvawo kuvaIsiraeri; mupfuri wakachiita, hachizi Mwari; zvirokwazvo, mhuri yeSamaria ichaputswa-putswa.
7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
7nekuti vanodzvara mhepo, vachacheka chamupupuri, havane zviyo pamunda; chipande hachingavigiri hupfu; kunyange chikabereka, zvichamedzwa navatorwa.
8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
8Isiraeri vakamedzwa; zvino vava pakati pamarudzi somudziyo usingadikamwi nomunhu.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
9nekuti vakaenda Asiria, sembizi inongozvifambira iri yoga; vaEfuremu vakazvitsvakira shamwari vachidziripira.
10Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
10Zvirokwazvo, kunyange vachizvitsvakira idzo pakati pamarudzi, ndichavaunganidza zvino, votanga kutapudzwa nemhaka yokuremedzwa namambo wamachinda.
11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
11Efuremu zvaakawanza maaritari okutadza nawo, maaritari ake akamutadzisa.
12I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
12Ndakamunyorera mashoko ane zviuru zvine gumi omurayiro wangu, asi vanoti ndezvavatorwa.
13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
13Kana zviri zvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvangu, vanobayira nyama ndokuidya; asi Jehovha haana kuzvigamuchira; zvino ucharangarira zvakaipa zvavo, nokuvarova pamusoro pezvivi zvavo; vachadzokera Egipita.
14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
14nekuti Isiraeri vakakangamwa Muiti wavo, vakavaka dzimba dzoushe; Judha vakawanza maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo; asi ini ndichatuma moto kumaguta avo, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzawo.
