¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, kwakanga kuna vakadzi vaviri, vanasikana vamai vamwe;

²Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

³ivo vakapata muEgipita, vakapata vachiri vaduku; mazamu avo akabatwa ipapo, minyato yohumhandara hwavo yakabatwa-batwapo.

³And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

⁴Mazita avo akanga ari Ohora, mukuru, naOhoribha munin'ina wake; ivo vakazova vangu, vakabereka vanakomana navanasikana. Zvino kana ari mazita avo, Samaria ndiOhora, Jerusaremu ndiOhoribha.

⁴And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

⁵Ohora wakapata, ari wangu, akadana navadikamwi vake, ivo vaAsiria vaigara pedo naye,

⁵And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

⁶vaifuka micheka mitema, vaiva vabati namadzishe, ose ari majaya anodikamwa, vatasvi vaifamba namabhiza.

⁶Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

⁷Iye akapata navo, ivo varume vakatsaurwa vose pakati pevana vaAsiria, zvino waizvisvibisa nezvifananidzo zvavose vaidikamwa naye.

⁷Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

⁸Uye haana kuzorega kupata kwake kwaakabva nako Egipita; nekuti varume vakavata naye achiri muduku, vakabatabata minyato yohumhandara hwake, vakadurura hupombwe hwavo pamusoro pake.

⁸Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

⁹Naizvozvo ndakamuisa mumaoko avadikamwi vake, mumaoko avaAsiria, vaakadana navo.

⁹Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

¹⁰Ivo vakafukura kunyadza kwake, vakatora vanakomana navanasikana vake, vakamuuraya iye nomunondo, zita rake rikazosekwa pakati pavakadzi; nekuti vakamutonga.

¹⁰These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.

¹¹Zvino munin'ina wake Ohoribha wakazviona hake, kunyange zvakadaro iye wakange akanyanya pakudana kwake navadikamwi, uye kupata kwake kwakapfuura kupata komukuru wake.

¹¹And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.

¹²Iye akadana navaAsiria, vaiva vabati namadzishe, vaigara pedo naye, vakafuka zvakaisvonaka kwazvo, vari vatasvi vanofamba namabhiza, ose ari majaya anodikamwa.

¹²She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

¹³Zvino ndakaona kuti wasvibiswa; ivo vose vakafamba nenzira imwe.

¹³Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

¹⁴Akawedzera kupata kwake; nekuti wakaona zvifananidzo zvavarume vakavezwa pamadziro, zviri zvifananidzo zvaKaradhea, zvakavezwa nomuti mutsvuku,

¹⁴And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

¹⁵vakasunga zviuno zvavo nebhanhire, vane ngowani dzemicheka pamisoro yavo, vose vakaita samachinda kana vachionekwa, vakafanana navaBhabhironi paKaradhea, iyo nyika yokuberekwa kwavo.

¹⁵Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

¹⁶Zvino wakati achivaona, akavada kwazvo, akatuma nhume kwavari paKaradhea.

¹⁶And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

¹⁷VaBhabhironi vakauya kwaari ari panhovo dzorudo, vakamusvibisa nohupombwe hwavo, iye akasvibiswa pamwechete navo, mweya wake ukazorambana navo.

¹⁷And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.

¹⁸Zvino wakati afukura kupata kwake, nokufukura kunyadza kwake, mweya wangu ukarambana naye, mweya wangu sezvawakarambana nomukuru wake.

¹⁸So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.

¹⁹Kunyange zvakadaro akaramba achiwedzera kupata kwake, achirangarira mazuva ohuduku hwake, aakapata nawo panyika yeEgipita.

¹⁹Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

²⁰Akadana zvikuru navadikamwi vake, vane nyama yakaita senyama yembongoro, zvinodhachwa navo zvakaita sezvinodhachwa namabhiza.

²⁰For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

²¹Zvino ukayeudzwa zvakashata zvohuduku hwako, panguva yawakabatwa-batwa minyato yako navaEgipita nokuda kwamazamu ohumhandara hwako.

²¹Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

²²Naizvozvo iwe Ohoribha, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha tarira, ndichakumutsira vadikamwi vako, vakazorambwa nomweya wako, ndichavauyisa kwauri kuzorwa newe kumativi ose;

²²Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

²³vanoti, vaBhabhironi, navaKaradhea vose, Pekodhi naShoa naKoa, navaAsiria pamwechete navo, iwo majaya anodikamwa, vose vari vabati namadzishe, machinda navarume vane mbiri, vose vakatasva mabhiza.

²³The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

²⁴Vachauya kuzorwa newe nenhumbi dzokurwa, nengoro, nezvinofamba namakumbo engoro, neboka ravanhu vazhinji; vachazvirongedza kuzorwa newe nenhovo huru nenhovo duku nengowani kumativi ose; ini ndichavapa simba rokutonga, vakutonge nokutonga kwavo.

²⁴And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

²⁵Ndichamutsa godo rangu kuzorwa newe, ivo vakuitire hasha; vachabvisa mhino dzako nenzeve dzako, vakasara kwauri vachaurawa nomunondo, vachatora vanakomana vako navanasikana vako; vakasara kwauri vachapera nomoto.

²⁵And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

²⁶Vachakubvisirawo nguvo dzako, nokukutorera hukomba hwako hwakanaka.

²⁶They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

²⁷Saizvozvo ndichakugumisira zvakashata zvako nokupata kwako kwawakabva nako kunyika yeEgipita, kuti urege kuzozvitarirazve nameso ako, kana kuzorangarira Egipita.

²⁷Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

²⁸nekuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, ndichakuisa mumaoko avaunovenga, mumaoko aivo vakarambwa nomweya wako;

²⁸For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:

²⁹ivo vachakuitira ruvengo, vachakutorera zvose zvawakabatira, vakakurega usina chawakafuka wakashama; kunyadza kokupata kwako kuchafukurwa, zvakaipa zvako pamwechete nokupata kwako.

²⁹And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

³⁰Uchaitirwa zvinhu izvi nemhaka yokuti wakapata namarudzi avanhu, uye nemhaka yokuti wakasvibiswa nezvifananidzo zvavo.

³⁰I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

³¹Iwe wakafamba nenzira yomukuru wako; saka ndichaisa mukombe wake muruoko rwako.

³¹Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

³²Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Uchamwira pamukombe womukuru wako, wakadzika mukuru; uchasekwa nokudadirwa, nekuti iwe une zvizhinji zvirimo.

³²Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

³³Uchazara nokubatwa nokuchema; mukombe womukuru wako Samaria mukombe wokushamiswa nokuparadzwa.

³³Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

³⁴Uchaumwa nokuupedza chose, uchatsenga zvaenga zvawo, nokudzura mazamu ako; nekuti ndini ndakataura izvozvo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

³⁴Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

³⁵Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Zvawakandikangamwa, ukandirasira shure kwako, naizvozvo chiva nemhosva yezvakashata zvako, neyokupata kwako.

³⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

³⁶Jehovha akatiwo kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, chitonga Ohora naOhoribha, uvazivise zvinonyangadza zvavo.

³⁶The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

³⁷nekuti wakafeva, ropa riri pamaoko avo; wakafeva nezvifananidzo zvavo; vakapinzawo vanakomana vavo vavakandiberekera mumoto, kuti zvidyiwe nazvo.

³⁷That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

³⁸Vakandiitirawo chinhu ichi, vakasvibisawo nzvimbo yangu tsvene nezuva iro, vakamhura masabata angu.

³⁸Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

³⁹nekuti vakati vabayira zvifananidzo zvavo vana vavo, vakapinda nezuva iro munzvimbo yangu tsvene kuti vaimhure; tarirai, ndizvo zvavakaita mukati meimba yangu.

³⁹For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

⁴⁰Makatumawo nhume kundodana varume vanobva kure nhume yakatumwako kwavari ivo vakauya, iwe ukazvishamba nokuda kwavo, ukazodza meso ako nomuti, nokuzvishongedza nezvishongo,

⁴⁰And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,

⁴¹ukagara panhovo dzakaisvonaka, dzakanga dzakagadzirirwa tafura pamberi padzo, pawakagadzika zvinonhuhwira zvangu namafuta angu.

⁴¹And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.

⁴²Inzwi ravazhinji vakanga vachifara rakanga rinaye; zvino pamwechete navarume vakabva kuvazhinji, vakauya nevakariri vedoro, vaibva kurenje, vakaisa zvishongo pamaoko avo, nekorona dzakanaka pamisoro yavo.

⁴²And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

⁴³Zvino ndakati kuna iye akanga apera nokufeva kwake, Zvino vachaita hupombwe naye, naiye navo.

⁴³Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?

⁴⁴Ipapo vakapinda kwaari, sezvavanopinda kuchifeve; saizvozvo vakapinda kuna Ohora naOhoribha, ivo vakadzi vakashata.

⁴⁴Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.

⁴⁵Naizvozvo varume vakarurama vachavatonga sezvinotongwa zvifeve, sezvinotongwa vakadzi vakateura ropa, nekuti zvifeve, ropa riri pamaoko avo.

⁴⁵And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁶nekuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichauyisa boka ravarwi kuzorwa navo, ndichavaregera kuti vadzungaidzwe kose-kose vapambwe.

⁴⁶For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

⁴⁷Boka iro richavataka namabwe, nokuvabaya neminondo yavo; vachauraya vanakomana vavo navanasikana vavo, nokupisa dzimba dzavo nomoto.

⁴⁷And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

⁴⁸Saizvozvo ndichagumisa zvakashata panyika, kuti vakadzi vose vadzidziswe kuti varege kutevera zvakashata zvenyu.

⁴⁸Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

⁴⁹Vachakutsivirai zvakashata zvenyu, imwi muchava nezvivi zvezvifananidzo zvenyu, zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.

⁴⁹And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
