1Inzwai shoko iri rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu, imwi vana vaIsiraeri, pamusoro porudzi rwose rwandakabudisa panyika yeEgipita, ndichiti,
1Hear ye this word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
2Ndimi moga vandakaziva pakati pamarudzi ose enyika; naizvozvo ndichakurovai pamusoro pezvakaipa zvenyu zvose.
2Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.
3Ko vaviri vangafamba pamwechete vasina kusangana here?
3Do two walk together if they have not met?
4Ko shumba ingaomba mudondo isina chayakaruma here? Ko shumba duku ingarira mubako rayo isina chayakabata here?
4Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not caught?
5Ko shiri ingawira pasi mumusungo paisina kudzikirwa rugombe here? Ko musungo ungaurukira kumusoro usina chawakabata here?
5Doth a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no gin for it? Doth a snare go up from the ground, And prey it captureth not?
6Ko hwamanda ingaridzwa muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Ko guta ringawirwa nezvakaipa, Jehovha asina kuzviita here?
6Is a trumpet blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And Jehovah hath not done [it]?
7Zvirokwazvo, Ishe Jehovha haangaiti chinhu, asina kumbozivisa varanda vake vaporofita zvakavanzika zvake.
7For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
8Shumba yaomba; ndiani angarega kutya? Ishe Jehovha akataura; ndiani angarega kuporofita?
8A lion hath roared — who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken — who doth not prophesy?
9Paridzirai mudzimba dzoushe paAshidhodhi, nomudzimba dzoushe munyika yeEgipita, muti, Unganai pamakomo eSamariya muone bope guru riripo nokumanikidzwa kuri mukati maro.
9Sound ye unto palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be ye gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
10nekuti havazivi kuita zvakarurama ndizvo, zvinotaura Jehovha ivo vanounganidza kumanikidza nokupamba mudzimba dzavo dzoushe.
10And they have not known to act straightforwardly, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
11Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Muvengi aripo, pose-pose panyika; iye achakubvisira simba rako, uye dzimba dzako dzeushe dzichapambwa.
11Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: An adversary — and surrounding the land, And he hath brought down from thee thy strength, And spoiled have been thy palaces.
12Zvanzi naJehovha, Mufudzi sezvaanobvuta pamuromo weshumba makumbo maviri kana chipande chenzveve, saizvozvo vana vaIsiraeri vachabvutwawo, ivo vagere Samaria pamucheto weuvato, uye pamitsamiro yemicheka yesiriki yemubhedha.
12Thus said Jehovah: As the shepherd delivereth from the lion`s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So delivered are the sons of Israel, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
13Inzwa, mupupurire imba yaJakove, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, Mwari wehondo.
13Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts.
14nekuti nezuva randicharova Isiraeri pamusoro pokudarika kwavo, ndicharovawo maaritari eBhetieri; nyanga dzearitari dzichagurwa nokuwira pasi.
14For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And cut off have been the horns of the altar, And they have fallen to the earth.
15Ndichaputsa dzimba dzechando pamwechete nedzimba dzezhizha; dzimba dzenyanga dzenzou dzichaparadzwa, uye dzimba huru dzichapera, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
15And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house, And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many houses, An affirmation of Jehovah!
