1nekuti tarirai, namazuva iwayo nenguva iyo, kana ndichidzosa kutapwa kwaJudha neJerusaremu,
1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2ndichaunganidza marudzi ose avanhu, nokuaburusira kumupata waJehoshafati; ndichavatongapo pamusoro pavanhu vangu napamusoro penhaka yangu Isiraeri, vakaparadzirwa navo pakati pamarudzi avanhu; vakagovana nyika yangu,
2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatenga chifeve nomukomana, vakatengesa musikana vachipiwa waini, kuti vaimwe.
3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4Zvirokwazvo, imwi Tire neSidhoni nenyika dzose dzaFirisitia, munoreveiko kwandiri? Munoda kunditsiva here? Kana mukanditsiva, ndichakudzoserai zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu pakarepo nokukasira.
4Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5Zvamakatora sirivha yangu nendarama yangu, mukandoisa mutemberi dzenyu zvinhu zvangu zvakanaka zvinodikamwa,
5Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6mukatengesa vana vaJudha navana veJerusaremu kuvanakomana vavaGiriki, kuti muvabvisire kure nenyika yavo;
6The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7tarirai, ndichavamutsa panzvimbo kwamakandovatengesa, ndidzosere pamisoro yenyu zvamakaita;
7Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8ndichatengesa vanakomana venyu navanasikana venyu mumaoko avana vaJudha, ivo vachandovatengesa kuvanhu veShebha, kurudzi ruri kure, nekuti Jehovha akataura izvozvo.
8And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9Paridzirai izvozvi pakati pamarudzi; zvigadzirirei kurwa; kurudzirai varume vane simba; varwi vose ngavaswedere, vaende kundorwa.
9Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10Pfurai mapadza enyu ive minondo, namapanga enyu okuchekerera miti ave mapfumo; asine simba ngaati, Ndine simba.
10Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11Chimbidzikai, muuye, imwi marudzi ose akapoteredza, muungane; imwi Jehovha, mhare dzenyu ngadziburukireko.
11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12Marudzi avanhu ngaamuke, aende kumupata waJehoshafati; nekuti ndipo pandichagara ndichitonga marudzi ose akapoteredza.
12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13lsai jeko renyu mumunda, nekuti zviyo zvaibva; uyai musvine, nekuti chisviniro chewaini chazara, zvisviniro zvinopafuma; nekuti kushata kwavo kwakura.
13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14Vazhinji-zhinji, vazhinji-zhinji varipo mumupata wokutonga! nekuti zuva raJehovha rava pedo mumupata wokutonga.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15Zuva nomwedzi zvasviba, nyeredzi dzinobvisa kupenya kwadzo.
15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16Jehovha achaomba ari paZiyoni, achanzwisa izwi rake ari paJerusaremu; denga rose nenyika zvichadengenyeka; asi Jehovha uchava utiziro hwevanhu vake, nenhare yavana vaIsiraeri.
16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu, agere paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene; ipapo Jerusaremu richava guta dzvene, hakuna vatorwa vanozopfuura napo.
17So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18Zvino nezuva iro makomo achadonha waini inotapira, zvikomo zvichayerera mukaka, uye hova dzose dzaJudha dzichayerera mvura zhinji; mumba maJehovha muchabuda tsime, richadiridza mupata weShitimi.
18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19Egipita richava dongo, uye Edhomu richava renje rakaparadzwa, nemhaka yesimba rakaitirwa vana vaJudha, zvavakateura ropa risina mhosva panyika yavo.
19Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20Asi Judha vachavapo nokusingaperi, uye Jerusaremu kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi.
20But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21Ndichapembedza ropa ravo randisina kumbopembedza; nekuti Jehovha anogara paZiyoni.
21For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
