1nekuti usiku Ari reMoabhi rakai twa dongo, rakaparadzwa; nekuti usiku Kiri reMoabhi rakaitwa dongo, rakaparadzwa.
1The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
2Vakwira Bhayiti, neDhibhoni, kumatunhu akakwirira, kundochemapo; vaMoabhi vanochema pamusoro peNebho napaMedhebha; misoro yavo yose ine mhanza, ndebvu dzose dzakaveurwa.
2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
3Panzira dzomumisha yavo vakazvisunga namakudza, pamusoro pedzimba dzavo, napamadare avo, mumwe nomumwe anowungudza achichema zvikuru.
3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4Heshibhoni rinodanidzira, neEreari; inzwi ravo rinonzwika kusvikira paJahazi; saka varwi vaMoabhi vanodanidzira zvikuru; mweya wavo unodedera mukati mavo.
4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
5moyo wangu unodanidzira pamusoro paMoabhi; vakuru vavo vanotizira Zoari, neEgiratisherishiya; nekuti vanokwira mukwidzwa waRuhiti vachichema; nekuti panzira inoenda Horonaimi vanochema nokuchema kokuparadzwa.
5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6nekuti mvura yeNimirimi ichaparadzwa; nekuti uswa hwawoma, bumhudza rapera, hapachina chinomera chitema.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7Saka zvizhinji zvavakawana, nezvavakachengeta, vachayambuka nazvo parukova rwemikonachando.
7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8nekuti kuchema kwapotereka kunyika yose yaMoabhi; kuungudza kwake kusvikira paEgiraimi, nokuungudza kwake kusvikira paBheerierimi.
8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
9nekuti mvura yeDhimoni izere neropa; nekuti ndichawedzera kurova Dhimoni, ndichatuma shumba iparadze vakapukunyuka vaMoabhi, navakasara panyika.
9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
