1Inzwai shoko iri rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu, imwi vana vaIsiraeri, pamusoro porudzi rwose rwandakabudisa panyika yeEgipita, ndichiti,
1Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2Ndimi moga vandakaziva pakati pamarudzi ose enyika; naizvozvo ndichakurovai pamusoro pezvakaipa zvenyu zvose.
2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
3Ko vaviri vangafamba pamwechete vasina kusangana here?
3Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
4Ko shumba ingaomba mudondo isina chayakaruma here? Ko shumba duku ingarira mubako rayo isina chayakabata here?
4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5Ko shiri ingawira pasi mumusungo paisina kudzikirwa rugombe here? Ko musungo ungaurukira kumusoro usina chawakabata here?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
6Ko hwamanda ingaridzwa muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Ko guta ringawirwa nezvakaipa, Jehovha asina kuzviita here?
6Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?
7Zvirokwazvo, Ishe Jehovha haangaiti chinhu, asina kumbozivisa varanda vake vaporofita zvakavanzika zvake.
7Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8Shumba yaomba; ndiani angarega kutya? Ishe Jehovha akataura; ndiani angarega kuporofita?
8The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
9Paridzirai mudzimba dzoushe paAshidhodhi, nomudzimba dzoushe munyika yeEgipita, muti, Unganai pamakomo eSamariya muone bope guru riripo nokumanikidzwa kuri mukati maro.
9Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof.
10nekuti havazivi kuita zvakarurama ndizvo, zvinotaura Jehovha ivo vanounganidza kumanikidza nokupamba mudzimba dzavo dzoushe.
10For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Muvengi aripo, pose-pose panyika; iye achakubvisira simba rako, uye dzimba dzako dzeushe dzichapambwa.
11Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary [there shall be], even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
12Zvanzi naJehovha, Mufudzi sezvaanobvuta pamuromo weshumba makumbo maviri kana chipande chenzveve, saizvozvo vana vaIsiraeri vachabvutwawo, ivo vagere Samaria pamucheto weuvato, uye pamitsamiro yemicheka yesiriki yemubhedha.
12Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
13Inzwa, mupupurire imba yaJakove, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, Mwari wehondo.
13Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
14nekuti nezuva randicharova Isiraeri pamusoro pokudarika kwavo, ndicharovawo maaritari eBhetieri; nyanga dzearitari dzichagurwa nokuwira pasi.
14For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15Ndichaputsa dzimba dzechando pamwechete nedzimba dzezhizha; dzimba dzenyanga dzenzou dzichaparadzwa, uye dzimba huru dzichapera, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
15And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
