¹Mutoro weshoko raJehovha pamusoro penyika yeHadhiraki, uye paDhamasiko apo ziso revanhu nerendudzi dzose dzaIsiraeri richava kuna Jehovha;

¹The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh — his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)

²uye Hamatiwo, rakabatana navo; uye Tire neSidhoni, nekuti vakachenjera kwazvo.

²And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for — very wise!

³Tire rakazvivakira nhare, rikazviunganidzira sirivha seguruva, nendarama yakaisvonaka samatope ari munzira dzomumusha.

³And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.

⁴Tarirai, Jehovha acharikunda, achawisira simba raro mugungwa; richapedzwa nomoto.

⁴Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.

⁵Ashikeroni richazviona, ndokutya; uye Gazawo, rikarwadziwa zvikuru; uye Ekironi, nekuti richanyadziswa pane zvarakatarira; mambo achaparara paEkironi, Ashikeroni haringagarwi navanhu.

⁵See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron — for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,

⁶Mwanakomana woupombwe achagara paAshidhodhi, uye ndichaparadza kuzvikudza kwavaFirisitia.

⁶And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.

⁷Ndichabvisa ropa mumuromo make, nezvinonyangadza zvake zviri pakati pameno ake; iyewo achasarira Mwari wedu; achava somuchinda paJudha, uye Ekironi somuJebhusi.

⁷And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁸Ndichakomberedza imba yangu nemisasa ndidzivirire hondo, kurege kuva nomunhu anopfuura napo kana kudzoka napo; hakungazovi nomumanikidzi anofamba napo; nekuti zvino ndazviona nameso angu.

⁸And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.

⁹Fara kwazvo, iwe mukunda weZioni; pururudza iwe mukunda weJerusaremu, tarira, mambo wako anouya kwauri; ndiye akarurama, ndiye anokunda; anozvininipisa, akatasva mbongoro, iyo mhuru mwana wembongoro.

⁹Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — and saved is He, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.

¹⁰Ndichaparadza ngoro pakati paEfuremu, namabhiza paJerusaremu; uta hwokurwa huchaparadzwa; uchataurira ndudzi dzavanhu rugare; ushe hwake huchabva pagungwa kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.

¹⁰And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Yea, cut off hath been the bow of battle, And he hath spoken peace to nations, And his rule [is] from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

¹¹Kana uriwewo, nokuda kweropa resungano yako, ndakasunungura vasungwa vako mugomba risine mvura.

¹¹Also thou — by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent thy prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.

¹²Dzokerai kunhare imwi vasungwa vanetariro; ikonhasi ndinokuudzai kuti ndichakupai migove miviri.

¹²Turn back to a fenced place, Ye prisoners of the hope, Even to-day a second announcer I restore to thee.

¹³nekuti ndakazvikungira Judha seuta, ndikaisamo Efuremu semiseve; ndichamutsa vanakomana vako, iwe Ziyoni, varwe navanakomana vako, iwe Girisi; ndichakuita somunondo wemhare.

¹³For I have trodden for Me Judah, A bow I have filled [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Javan, And I have set thee as the sword of a hero.

¹⁴Jehovha achaonekwa pamusoro pavo, museve wake uchabuda semheni; Ishe Jehovha acharidza hwamanda, achafamba nezvamupupuri zvinobva zasi.

¹⁴And Jehovah doth appear for them, And gone forth as lightning hath His arrow, And the Lord Jehovah with a trumpet bloweth, And He hath gone with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵Jehovha wehondo achavadzitira; vachaparadza, vachatsika pasi mabwe echipfuramabwe; vachamwa, vachiita ruzha savanhu vakabatwa newaini; vachazadzwa sembiya, samakona earitari.

¹⁵Jehovah of Hosts doth cover them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Yea, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.

¹⁶Jehovha Mwari wavo achavaponesa nezuva iro seboka ravanhu vake;nokuti vachafanana namabwe ekorona, anovaima kumusoro kwenyika yake.

¹⁶And saved them hath Jehovah their God In that day, as a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.

¹⁷nekuti kufara kwavo kuchava kukuru sei, nokunaka kwavo kuchava kukuru sei! Zviyo zvichamutsa majaya, waini itsva ichakurisa mhandara.

¹⁷For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins — make fruitful!
