1Pamusoro paMoabhu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Nebho rine nhamo, nekuti raparadzwa; Kiriataimu ranyadziswa, rakundwa; Mishigabhi ranyadziswa, ravhunduswa.
1Concerning Moab: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Wo unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.
2Mbiri yaMoabhu haichipo; paHeshibhoni vakarangana zvakaipa pamusoro pavo, vachiti, Uyai, tivaparadze, varege kuzova rudzi. Newewo Madhimeni, uchanyaradzwa, munondo uchakutevera.
2There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
3Inzwai inzwi rokuchema rinobva Horonaimi, Kuparadzwa nokukoromorwa kukuru!
3A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
4Moabhu vaparadzwa; vanana vavo vakanzwika vachichema.
4Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
5nekuti vachakwira nomukwidzwa weRuhiti vachingochema; nekuti pamatenusirwa eHoronaimi vakanzwa njodzi yokuchema kokuparadzwa.
5For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
6Tizai, muponese mweya yenyu, mufanane negwenzi murenje.
6Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
7nekuti zvamakavimba namabasa enyu nefuma yenyu, muchakundwawo; Kemoshi vachaenda kwavanotapwa, vapristi vavo namachinda avo pamwechete.
7For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
8Muparadzi uchawira guta rimwe nerimwe, hakuna guta richapukunyuka; mupata uchapararawo, nebani richaparadzwa, sezvakataura Jehovha.
8And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.
9Ipai Moabhu mapapiro, vabhururuke, vaende; maguta avo achava matongo, anoshaiwa unogaramo.
9Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
10Ngaatukwe unobate basa raJehovha asina hanya naro; ngaatukwe unodzora munondo wake paropa.
10Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
11Moabhu vakanga vane zororo kubva pahuduku hwavo, vakagara pamasese avo, havana kudururwa vachibviswa mumudziyo, uye havana kutapwa; naizvozvo kuzipa kwavo kwakarambira mukati mavo, nokunhuhwira kwavo hakuna kushanduka.
11Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.
12Naizvozvo tarirai, mazuva anouya ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha andichatuma kwavari vanomimina; ivo vachavamimina, vachadurura midziyo yavo chose, nokuputsanya hari dzavo.
12Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash in pieces.

13And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.
14Munotaura seiko, muchiti, Tiri mhare, vanhu vakatsunga pakurwa?
14How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?

26Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision — even he.
27nekuti VaIsiraeri havana kusekwa nemwi here? Vakawanikwa pakati pamakororo here? nekuti nguva dzose kana muchimureva iye munodzungudza misoro yenyu.
27And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.

28Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit`s mouth.
29Takanzwa kuzvikudza kwaVaMoabhu, kuti vanozvikudza kwazvo; nokuzvirumbidza kwavo, namanyawi omoyo wavo.
29We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,

30I — I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices — not right they have done.

31Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab — all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,
32Ndichakuchemera, iwe muzambiringa weSibhima, nokuchema kunopfuura kuchema kwaJazeri; matavi ako akadarika gungwa, akandosvika pagungwa raJazeri; muparadzi wawira zvibereko zvako zvezhezha namazambiringa ako.
32With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.
33Mufaro nokufara zvabviswa pamunda wakange uchibereka zvakanaka napanyika yaMoabhu; ndakagumisa waini pazvisviniro, hakuna vachatsika vachipururudza, kupururudza hakungavi kupururudza.
33And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!
34Kubva pakuchema kweHeshibhoni kusvikira Ereare, nokusvikira Jahazi, vakanzwisa inzwi ravo, kubva Zoari kusvikira Horonaimi neEgiratisherishiya; nekuti nemvura zhinji yeNimirimi ichaparadzwa.
34Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.

36Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
37nekuti misoro yose yava nemhazha, nendebvu dzose dzaveurwa; maoko ose atemwa, nezviuno zvose zvinamasaga.
37For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins — sackcloth.

40For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.
41Maguta akundwa, nhare dzakundwa, nezuva iro moyo yemhare dzaMoabhu ichaita somoyo womukadzi pakurwadziwa kwake.
41Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.

44Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
45Vakatiza vamire pamumvuri weHeshibhoni vasina simba, nekuti moto wabuda paHeshibhoni, nomurazvo pakati paSihoni, waparadza mativi aMoabhu nemisoro yavanoda kurwa.
45In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
46Vurombo kwamuri, imwi Moabhu! Vanhu veKemoshi vapera; nekuti vanakomana venyu vatapwa, navakunda venyu vaiswa kukutapwa.
46Wo to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.
47Asi namazuva okupedzisira ndichadzosa kutapwa kwaMoabhu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Ndipo panosvika kutongwa kwaMoabhu.
47And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.
