¹Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

¹Arieri, Arieri, une nhamo, iwe guta maidzika Dhavhidhi matende ake! Wedzerai gore pagore, nguva dzemitambo ngadzisvike;

²Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

²ipapo ndichamanikidza Arieri, kuchema nokuungudza zvichavapo; richava kwandiri seArieri.

³And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

³Ndichakukomba panhivi dzose, ndichakukomba navarwi vanorindira, ndichavaka masvingo okurwa newe.

⁴And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

⁴Uchawiswa pasi, uchataura uri pasi muvhu; kutaura kwako kuchabva pasi muguruva; inzwi rako richava seresvikiro rinobva pasi muvhu, kutaura kwako kuchaita zevezeve kuchibva muguruva.

⁵Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

⁵Asi vavengi vako vazhinji vachava seguruva rakatsetseka, navanotyisa sehundi inopepereka; zvirokwazvo zvichaitwa kamwe-kamwe, pakarepo.

⁶Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

⁶Uchashanyirwa naJehovha wehondo nokutinhira, nokudengenyeka kwenyika, nomubvumo mukuru, nechamupupuri, nedutu guru, nomurazvo womoto unopedza zvose.

⁷And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

⁷Kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa neArieri, ivo vose vanorwa naro nenhare yaro, vachaita sezvinorotwa, sezvinoonekwa usiku.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

⁸Zvichafanana nokurota komunhu ane nzara, achiti ndinodya; asi anopepuka, ndokuwana mweya wake usine chinhu; kana sokurota komunhu ane nyota, achiti ndinomwa; asi anopepuka, wanei aziya, mweya wake unopanga mvura; ndizvo zvichaita kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa negomo reZiyoni.

⁹Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

⁹Mirai mushame! Zvipofumadzei, muve mapofu! Vakabatwa, asi havana kubatwa newaini, vanodzedzereka, asi havadzedzereki nezvinobata.

¹⁰For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

¹⁰nekuti Jehovha wakadurura pamusoro penyu mweya wokubatwa nehope kwazvo, akafumbira meso enyu, vaporofita; nemisoro yenyu, vaoni, wakavafukidza.

¹¹And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

¹¹Kuona kose kwava kwamuri samashoko orugwaro rwakanamirwa, runopiwa munhu anogona kurava zvichinzi,Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handigoni, nekuti rwakanamirwa;

¹²And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

¹²zvino rugwaro runopiwa usina kudzidza, zvichinzi, Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handina kudzidza.

¹³Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

¹³Ishe akati, Ava vanhu zvavanoswedera kwandiri, vachindikudza nomuromo wavo uye nemiromo yavo, asi moyo yavo vakaiisa kure neni, nokunditya kwavo zvawava murayiro wavanhu wavakadzidziswa;

¹⁴Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

¹⁴naizvozvo tarirai, ndichapfuura ndichiita pakati pavanhu ava basa rinoshamisa, basa rinoshamisa nechishamiso; uchenjeri hwevakachenjera vavo huchapera, nenjere dzavanhu vavo vakangwara dzichavanzwa.

¹⁵Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

¹⁵Vane nhamo vanotsvaka kuvanzira Jehovha mano avo pakadzika, mabasa avo ari murima, vachiti, Ndiani anotiona, ndiani anotiziva?

¹⁶Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

¹⁶Haiwa, kutadza kwenyu! Ko muumbi wehari akaenzana nevhu here, kuti chakaitwa chiti pamusoro pomuiti wacho, Iye haana kundiita; kana chakaumbwa chiti pamusoro pomuumbi wacho, Iye haana njere?

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

¹⁷Ko hakuna kusara chinguva chidukuduku here, Rebhanoni richashandurwa rive munda unobereka zvakanaka, nomunda unobereka zvakanaka uchanzi idondo?

¹⁸And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

¹⁸Zvino nezuva iro vamatsi vachanzwa mashoko orugwaro, meso amapofu achaona ari pakasviba napanerima.

¹⁹The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Vanyoro vachawedzerawo mufaro wavo muna Jehovha, varombo pakati pavanhu vachafara kwazvo muMutsvene waIsiraeri.

²⁰For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

²⁰nekuti anotyisa aparadzwa, mudadi aguma, navose vanogarira zvakaipa vabviswa;

²¹That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

²¹ivo vanopomera munhu mhaka nokuda kweshoko, vanoteyira munhu musungo, anoraira vamwe pasuwo, vanoramba kururamisira wakarurama nemhaka dzamano-mano.

²²Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

²²Saka zvanzi naJehovha, akadzikunura Abhurahamu, pamusoro peimba yaJakove, Jakove haanganyadziswi zvino, chiso chake zvino hachingacheneruki.

²³But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

²³Asi kana achiona vana vake, iro basa ramaoko angu, pakati pake, vachati zita rangu idzvene; zvirokwazvo, vachati Mutsvene waJakove mutsvene, vachatya Mwari waIsiraeri.

²⁴They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

²⁴Vakarasika pamweyawo vachava nenjere, vanonyunyuta vachadzidziswa.
