¹Nezuva iro imba yaDhavhidhi. navagere Jerusaremu vachadziurirwa tsime, rokusuka zvivi netsvina.

¹In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.

²Zvino nezuva iro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, Ndichabvisa mazita ezvifananidzo panyika, arege kuzorangarirwa; ndichabudisawo vaporofita nemweya yetsvina panyika.

²And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land.

³Zvino kana ani naani achiporofita, baba vake namai vake, vakamubereka, vachati kwaari, Haungararami, nekuti unoreva nhema nezita raJesu baba vake namai vake, vakamubereka, vachabvovora kana achiporofita.

³And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, `Thou dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of Jehovah,` And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying.

⁴Zvino nezuva iro vaporofita vachanyadziswa mumwe nomumwe nechaanoona, kana achiporofita, havangapfeki nguvo yemvere vachiti tinonyengera vanhu;

⁴And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put not on a hairy robe to deceive.

⁵asi achati, Handizi muporofita, ndiri murimi wevhu; nekuti ndakaitwa muranda kubva pauduku hwangu.

⁵And [one] hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.`

⁶Kana mumwe akati kwaari, Ko mavanga awa ari pakati pezvanza zvako ndeeiko? Ipapo achapindura, achiti, Ndipo pandakakuvadzwa mumba meshamwari dzangu.

⁶And [one] hath said unto him, `What [are] these wounds in thy hands?` And he hath said, `Because I was smitten [at] home by my lovers.`

⁷Muka, munondo, urwe nomufudzi wangu, uye munhu shamwari yangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, rova mufudzi, makwai agoparadzirwa; ini ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kuvaduku.

⁷Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero — My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

⁸Zvino munyika yose ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha migove miviri ichaparadzwa ndokufa; asi wechitatu acharegwamo.

⁸And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off — they expire, And the third is left in it.

⁹Mugove wechitatu ndichaupinza mumoto, ndichavanatsa sezvinonatswa sirivha, ndichavaidza sezvinoidzwa ndarama. Vachadana zita rangu, ini ndichavanzwa; ini ndichati, Ndivo vanhu vangu, ivo vachati, Jehovha ndiMwari wangu.

⁹And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it [is],` And it saith, `Jehovah [is] my God!`
