¹nekuti tarirai, namazuva iwayo nenguva iyo, kana ndichidzosa kutapwa kwaJudha neJerusaremu,

¹For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

²ndichaunganidza marudzi ose avanhu, nokuaburusira kumupata waJehoshafati; ndichavatongapo pamusoro pavanhu vangu napamusoro penhaka yangu Isiraeri, vakaparadzirwa navo pakati pamarudzi avanhu; vakagovana nyika yangu,

²Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance — Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.

³vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatenga chifeve nomukomana, vakatengesa musikana vachipiwa waini, kuti vaimwe.

³And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may drink.

⁴Zvirokwazvo, imwi Tire neSidhoni nenyika dzose dzaFirisitia, munoreveiko kwandiri? Munoda kunditsiva here? Kana mukanditsiva, ndichakudzoserai zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu pakarepo nokukasira.

⁴And also, what [are] ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head.

⁵Zvamakatora sirivha yangu nendarama yangu, mukandoisa mutemberi dzenyu zvinhu zvangu zvakanaka zvinodikamwa,

⁵In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.

⁶mukatengesa vana vaJudha navana veJerusaremu kuvanakomana vavaGiriki, kuti muvabvisire kure nenyika yavo;

⁶And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.

⁷tarirai, ndichavamutsa panzvimbo kwamakandovatengesa, ndidzosere pamisoro yenyu zvamakaita;

⁷Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head,

⁸ndichatengesa vanakomana venyu navanasikana venyu mumaoko avana vaJudha, ivo vachandovatengesa kuvanhu veShebha, kurudzi ruri kure, nekuti Jehovha akataura izvozvo.

⁸And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a nation far off, for Jehovah hath spoken.

⁹Paridzirai izvozvi pakati pamarudzi; zvigadzirirei kurwa; kurudzirai varume vane simba; varwi vose ngavaswedere, vaende kundorwa.

⁹Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.

¹⁰Pfurai mapadza enyu ive minondo, namapanga enyu okuchekerera miti ave mapfumo; asine simba ngaati, Ndine simba.

¹⁰Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, `I [am] mighty.`

¹¹Chimbidzikai, muuye, imwi marudzi ose akapoteredza, muungane; imwi Jehovha, mhare dzenyu ngadziburukireko.

¹¹Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.

¹²Marudzi avanhu ngaamuke, aende kumupata waJehoshafati; nekuti ndipo pandichagara ndichitonga marudzi ose akapoteredza.

¹²Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.

¹³lsai jeko renyu mumunda, nekuti zviyo zvaibva; uyai musvine, nekuti chisviniro chewaini chazara, zvisviniro zvinopafuma; nekuti kushata kwavo kwakura.

¹³Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness.

¹⁴Vazhinji-zhinji, vazhinji-zhinji varipo mumupata wokutonga! nekuti zuva raJehovha rava pedo mumupata wokutonga.

¹⁴Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.

¹⁵Zuva nomwedzi zvasviba, nyeredzi dzinobvisa kupenya kwadzo.

¹⁵Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

¹⁶Jehovha achaomba ari paZiyoni, achanzwisa izwi rake ari paJerusaremu; denga rose nenyika zvichadengenyeka; asi Jehovha uchava utiziro hwevanhu vake, nenhare yavana vaIsiraeri.

¹⁶And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah [is] a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.

¹⁷Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu, agere paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene; ipapo Jerusaremu richava guta dzvene, hakuna vatorwa vanozopfuura napo.

¹⁷And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.

¹⁸Zvino nezuva iro makomo achadonha waini inotapira, zvikomo zvichayerera mukaka, uye hova dzose dzaJudha dzichayerera mvura zhinji; mumba maJehovha muchabuda tsime, richadiridza mupata weShitimi.

¹⁸And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah do go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim.

¹⁹Egipita richava dongo, uye Edhomu richava renje rakaparadzwa, nemhaka yesimba rakaitirwa vana vaJudha, zvavakateura ropa risina mhosva panyika yavo.

¹⁹Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.

²⁰Asi Judha vachavapo nokusingaperi, uye Jerusaremu kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi.

²⁰And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.

²¹Ndichapembedza ropa ravo randisina kumbopembedza; nekuti Jehovha anogara paZiyoni.

²¹And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
