¹Nezuva iro vakadzi vanomwe vachabata murume mumwe, vachiti, Tichadya zvokudya zvedu, tichafuka zvokufuka zvedu; tinongoda kudamwa zita rako chete; bvisa kunyadzwa kwedu.

¹And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, `Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our reproach.`

²Nezuva iro bukira raJehovha richanaka nokubwinya, uye zvibereko zvenyika zvichava zvakaisvonaka nezvinorumbidzwa kuna vakapukunyuka valsiraeri.

²In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.

³Vakasiiwa paZiyoni, navakasara paJerusaremu, ivo vachanzi vatsvene, ani naani akanyorwa pakati pavapenyu muJerusaremu;

³And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, `Holy` is said of him, Of every one who is written for life in Jerusalem.

⁴kana Ishe ashambidza tsvina yavakunda veZiyoni, anatsa ropa reJerusaremu achiribvisa mukati maro, nomweya wokururamisa uye nomweya wokupisa.

⁴If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

⁵Zvino Jehovha achasvika pamusoro peimba imwe neimwe pagomo reZiyoni, napamusoro peungano dzaro, gore noutsi masikati, nokupenya komoto unopfuta usiku; nekuti pachava nechifukidzo pamusoro pokubwinya kose.

⁵Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,

⁶Kuchavapo netende, richava mumvuri masikati kana zuva richipisa, noutiziro nechivando kana pane dutu nemvura.

⁶And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
