¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

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

²Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako kugomo reSeiri, uporofite pamusoro paro,

²`Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

³uti kwariri, zanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarira, ndine mhaka newe, iwe gomo reSeiri, ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kwauri, ndichakuita dongo nechishamiso.

³and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment.

⁴Ndichaparadza maguta ako, iwe uchava dongo; zvino uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁴Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

⁵nekuti wakavenga vana vaIsiraeri nokuvenga kusingaperi, ukavaisa pasimba romunondo nenguva yenjodzi yavo, nenguva yezvakaipa zvokupedzisira;

⁵Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:

⁶naizvozvo noupenyu hwangu; ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, ndichakugadzirira ropa, ropa richakuteverera; zvausina kuvenga ropa, ropa richakuteverera.

⁶Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.

⁷Saizvozvo ndichaita gomo reSeiri chishamiso nedongo; ndichaparadza mariri vanofamba napo navanodzoka napo.

⁷And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,

⁸Ndichazadza makomo aro navanhu varo vakaurayiwa; muzvikomo zvako nomumipata yako napahova dzako dzose ndipo pachawa vakauyirawa nomunondo.

⁸And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.

⁹Ndichakuita dongo nokusingaperi, maguta ako haangagarwi; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁹Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁰Zvawakati, Marudzi awa maviri nenyika idzi mbiri zvichava zvangu, zvichava nhaka yedu, kunyange Jehovha akanga aripo;

¹⁰Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And Jehovah hath been there;

¹¹naizvozvo noupenyu hwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha ndichaita zvakafanira kutsamwa kwako, uye zvakafanira godo rako rawakavaitira nokuvenga kwako; zvino ini ndichazvizivisa pakati pavo, kana ndichikutonga iwe.

¹¹Therefore, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have done according to thine anger, And according to thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge thee.

¹²lwe uchaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndakanzwa kumhura kwako kose kwawakataura pamusoro pamakomo aIsiraeri, uchiti, Akaparadzwa, takaapiwa isu zvive zvokudya zvedu.

¹²And thou hast known that I — Jehovah, I have heard all thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food.

¹³Makazvikudza kwandiri nemiromo yenyu, makawanza mashoko enyu kwandiri; ndazvinzwa.

¹³And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made abundant against Me your words, I — I have heard.

¹⁴Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Kana nyika yose ichifara, ndichakuita iwe dongo.

¹⁴Thus said the Lord Jehovah: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee.

¹⁵Sezvawakafara pamusoro penhaka yeimba yaIsiraeri, nemhaka yokuti yakaitwa dongo, saizvozvo ndichakuitirawo; uchava dongo, iwe gomo reSeiri, neEdhomu rose, izvo zvose zvaro; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹⁵According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee — a desolation thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom — all of it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
