¹Shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

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

²Mwanakomana womunhu, porofita, uti, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ungudzai! Aiwa, zuva rakaipa sei!

²Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!

³nekuti zuva rava pedo, izuva ramakore; ichava nguva yamarudzi avanhu.

³For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

⁴Munondo uchauya pamusoro peEgipita, kurwadziwa kukuru kuchavapo paItiopia, kana vakaurawa vachiparadzwa vachabvisa vanhu vayo vazhinji, nenheyo dzayo dzichakoromorwa.

⁴And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

⁵Itiopia nePuti, neRudhi, navanhu vose vakavhengana, neKubhi, navana venyika vakaita sungano, vachaparadzwa pamwechete navo nomunondo.

⁵Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Naivo vanotsigira Egipita vachaparadzwa; kuzvikudza kwesimba rayo kuchaderera; vachaparadzwamo nomunondo kubva paMigidhori kusvikira paSevhene.

⁶Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

⁷Vachava dongo pakati penyika dzakaitwa matongo, namaguta ayo achava pakati pamaguta akaitwa matongo.

⁷And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁸Zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndaisa moto vabatsiri vayo vose vaparadzwa.

⁸And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

⁹Nezuva iro nhume dzichabva kwandiri nezvikepe kundotyisa vaItiopia vasine hanya; vachava nokurwadziwa kukuru, sapazuva reEgipita; nokuti, tarirai, zvinouya.

⁹In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

¹⁰Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichagumisawo vanhu vazhinji veEgipita noruoko rwaNebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi.

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

¹¹Iye navanhu vake vaanavo, vanotyisa zvikuru pakati pamarudzi, vachauyiswamo kuzoparadza nyika; vachavhomorera Egipita minondo yavo, nokuzadza nyika navakaurawa.

¹¹He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

¹²Ndichapwisa mvura yenzizi, nokutengesa nyika mumaoko avanhu vakaipa; nyika ndichaiita dongo, nezvose zvirimo, noruoko rwavatorwa; ini Jehovha, ndakataura izvozvo.

¹²And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.

¹³Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichaparadzawo zvifananidzo, nemifananidzo ndichaigumisa paNofi; hapangazovi nomuchinda kunyika yeEgipita; ndichaisa kutya panyika yeEgipita.

¹³Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Patirosi ndichariita dongo, paZoani ndichaisa moto, ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro peNo.

¹⁴And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

¹⁵Ndichadurura hasha dzangu pamusoro peSini, iyo nhare yeEgipita; ndichaparadza vanhu vazhinji veNo.

¹⁵And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶Ndichaisa moto paEgipita; Sini richabatwa nokurwadziwa kukuru, No richaparadzwa, Nofi richava navavengi masikati.

¹⁶And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.

¹⁷Majaya eAvheni neePibhesheti achaurawa nomunondo, maguta awa achatapwa.

¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.

¹⁸PaTapanesi masikati achaita rima, kana ndichivhunapo majoko kuzvikudza kwesimba raro kuchapera mukati maro; kana riri iro, richafukidzwa negore, vakunda varo vachatapwa.

¹⁸At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁹Saizvozvo ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

²⁰Zvino negore regumi nerimwe, nomwedzi wokutanga, nezuva rechinomwe romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

²⁰And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²¹Mwanakomana womunhu, ndavhuna ruoko rwaFarao mambo zvino tarira, haruna kupomberwa, kuti rurapwe, nemishonga, ruiswe chiseketo, kuti ruve nesimba rokubata munondo.

²¹Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

²²Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarirai, ndine mhaka naFarao mambo weEgipita, ndichavhuna maoko ake, irwo rune simba norumwe rwakavhunika; ndichawisa pasi munondo uri paruoko rwake.

²²Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²³Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi, ndichavadzingira kunyika dzose.

²³And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²⁴Asi ndichasimbisa maoko amambo weBhabhironi, nokuisa munondo wangu muruoko rwake; asi ndichavhuna maoko aFarao, uchagomera pamberi pake sezvinogomera munhu akakuvadzwa ari pakufa.

²⁴And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

²⁵Ndichatsigira maoko amambo weBhabhironi, asi maoko aFarao acharemberera pasi; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndichiisa munondo wangu muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi, iye akautambanudzira pamusoro penyika

²⁵But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

²⁶Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi avanhu, nokuvadzingirira kunyika dzose; zvino vachazoziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

²⁶And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
