¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako kuvana vaAmoni, uporofite pamusoro pavo;

²`Son of man, set thy face unto the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

³Uti kuvana vaAmoni, Inzwai shoko raIshe Jehovha, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, imwi zvamakati, Toko! Pamusoro penzvimbo yangu tsvene, panguva yokumhurwa kwayo, napamusoro penyika yaIsiraeri panguva yokuitwa kwayo dongo, napamusoro peimba yaJudha, panguva yokutapwa kwavo;

³and thou hast said to the sons of Ammon: Hear ye a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it hath been polluted, And unto the ground of Israel, Because it hath been desolate, And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal:

⁴naizvozvo tarirai, ndichakuisai kuvana vamabvazuva muve vavo, vachaisa misasa yavo pakati penyu, vachavaka dzimba dzavo pakati penyu; vachadya michero yenyu, nokumwa mukaka wenyu.

⁴Therefore, lo, I am giving thee to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in thee, And have placed in thee their tabernacles. They eat thy fruit, and they drink thy milk,

⁵Rabha ndichariita mafuro emakamera, nenyika yavana vaAmoni nzvimbo inovata makwai; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁵And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

⁶nekuti zvanzi nalshe Jehovha, Zvamakarovanya maoko enyu, nokutsikisa netsoka dzenyu, mukafara pamusoro penyika yaIsiraeri muchivazvidza nemweya yenyu yose;

⁶For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel,

⁷zvino tarirai, ndakatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro penyu, ndichakuisai kumarudzi muve sechinhu chakapambwa; ndichakubvisai pakati pamarudzi, ndichakupedzai panyika dzose; ndichakuparadzai, zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁷Therefore, lo, I — I have stretched out My hand against thee, And have given thee for a portion to nations, And I have cut thee off from the peoples, And caused thee to perish from the lands; I destroy thee, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

⁸Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Moabhu naSeiri zvavanoti, Tarirai, imba yaJudha yakafanana namarudzi ose,

⁸Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah;

⁹naizvozvo, tarirai, ndichazarura rutivi rwenyika yaMoabhu kubva kumaguta, kubva kumaguta aro ari kumiganho yaro, ihwo hukomba bwenyika, anoti: Bhetijeshimoti neBhaarimeoni neKiriataimi,

⁹Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab — From the cities — from his cities — from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim,

¹⁰uye ndichazvipa vana vokumabvazuva, ndakamirisana navana vaAmoni, ive yavo, kuti vana vaAmoni varege kuzorangarirwa pakati pamarudzi;

¹⁰To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations.

¹¹ndichatonga Moabhu; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹¹And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

¹²Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Edhomu zvavakatsiva imba yaJudha, vakapara mhaka kwazvo, vakazvitsivira kwavari;

¹²Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them.

¹³naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro paEdhomu, ndichaparadzapo vanhu nezvipfuwo, ndichaiita dongo kubva paTemani, vachaurawa nomunondo kusvikira paDhedhani.

¹³Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and beast, And given it up — a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By sword they do fall.

¹⁴Ndichazvitsivira kuna Edhomu namaoko avanhu vangu Isiraeri; vachaitira Edhomu zvakarehwa nokutsamwa kwangu nehasha dzangu, vachaziva kutsiva kwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹⁴And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, VaFirisitia zvavakazvitsivira, vakatsiva vachizvidza nemweya yavo, vachida kuparadza nokuvenga kusingaperi,

¹⁵Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, To destroy — the enmity age-during!

¹⁶naizvozvo, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarirai, ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro pavaFirisitia, ndichabvisa vaKereti nokuparadza vakasara pamahombekombe egungwa.

¹⁶Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea,

¹⁷Ndichazvitsivira kwavari nokutsiva kukuru nokutuka kwehasha; vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndichiuyisa kutsiva kwangu pamusoro pavo.

¹⁷And done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving out My vengeance on them!
