1Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,
1The word of Jehovah also came unto me, saying,
2Mwanakomana womunhu, ugere pakati pavanhu veimba inondimukira simba, vana meso okuona, asi havaoni, vane nzeve dzokunzwa, asi havanzwi; nekuti iimba inondimukira simba.
2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
3Naizvozvo iwe Mwanakomana womunhu, zvirongedzere nhumbi dzokutama nadzo, utame masikati, vachizviona; unofanira kutama uchibva panzvimbo yako uchienda kune imwe nzvimbo, vachizviona; zvimwe vangazofunga, kunyange iri imba inondimukira simba.
3Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4Unofanira kubudisa nhumbi dzako masikati vachizviona, dziite senhumbi dzokutama nadzo; zvino madekwana iwe umene unofanira kubuda vachizviona, sezvinoita vanhu kana votama.
4And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
5Zvino uboore rusvingo vachizviona, ubudise nhumbi dzako napo.
5Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6Unofanira kudzitakura pafudzi rako vachizviona, ndokudzibudisa kwasviba; unofanira kufukidza chiso chako, kuti urege kuona zvenyika; nekuti ndakakuita chiratidzo kuimba yalsiraeri.
6In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the land: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7Ini ndikaita sezvandakarayirwa; ndakabudisa nhumbi dzangu masikati, dzakaita senhumbi dzokutama nadzo, madekwana ndikabvovora rusvingo noruoko rwangu; ndakadzibudisa kwasviba, ndikadzitakura pafudzi rangu vachizviona.
7And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8Zvino mangwanani shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,
8And in the morning came the word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
9Mwanakomana womunhu, imba yaIsiraeri, iyo imba inondimukira, havana kuti kwauri, Unoiteiko?
9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10Uti kwavari, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, chirevo ichi chinoreva muchinda weJerusaremu neimba yose yaIsiraeri iri pakati pavo.
10Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11Uti, Ndini chiratidzo chenyu; sezvandakaita ini, ndizvo zvavachaitirwa ivo; vachatama vachitapwa.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12Muchinda ari pakati pavo achatakura nhumbi dzake pafudzi rake kwasviba, ndokubuda; vachabvovora rusvingo kuti vadzibudise napo; achafukidza meso ake, nekuti haangaoni nyika nameso ake.
12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
13Ndichakandawo mumbure wangu pamusoro pake, achabatwa mumusungo wangu; ndichamuisa Bhabhironi kunyika yavaKaradhea; asi haangaioni, kunyange zvakadaro achafirako.
13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14Ndichaparadzira kumhepo dzose vose vakamupoteredza vangamubatsira, namapoka ake ose ndichavavhomorera munondo ndichivateverera.
14And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndichivadzingira pakati pamarudzi, nokuvaparadzira kunyika dzose.
15And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16Asi ndichapukunyusa vashoma vavo pamunondo nenzara nehosha yakaipa;kuti vanoparidza pakati pamarudzi kwavanosvika zvinonyangadza zvavo zvose; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
17Shoko raJehovha rakasvikawo kwandiri, richiti,
17Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18Mwanakomana womunhu, idya zvokudya zvako nokubvunda nokumwa mvura yako nokudedera nokutya;
18Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;
19uti kuvanhu venyika iyi, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha pamusoro pavagere Jerusaremu nenyika yaIsiraeri, vachadya zvokudya zvavo vachitya nokumwa mvura yavo vachikanganiswa, kuti nyika yaro iitwe dongo, yatorerwa zvose zvayo, nemhaka yokuita nesimba, yavose vanogaramo.
19and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, [and despoiled] of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20Maguta anogarwa navanhu achaparadzwa, nenyika ichaitwa dongo; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
20And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
21Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,
21And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
22Mwanakomana womunhu, tsumo ndeyeiko yamunayo munyika yaIsiraeri, inoti, Mazuva anoramba achiwedzerwa, asi zvakaoneswa zvose hazviitiki?
22Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23Naizvozvo vaudze, uti, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, ndichagumisa tsumo iyi, havangazobati nayo iri tsumo pakati paIsiraeri; asi uti kwavari, Mazuva ava pedo nokuitika kwezvose zvakaoneswa.
23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.
24nekuti pakati peimba yaIsiraeri hapangazovi kuoneswa kwenhema kana kuporofita kunobata kumeso.
24For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25nekuti ndini Jehovha; ndichataura, neshoko randichataura richaitika, haringazononoswi; nekuti pamazuva enyu, iwe imba inondimukira simba, ndichataura shoko nokuriitawo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
25For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
26Shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,
26Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
27Mwanakomana womunhu, tarira, veimba yaIsiraeri vanoti, Zvaakaoneswa ndezvamazuva ari kure anozouya, anoporofita zvenguva dziri kure.
27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many day to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
28Naizvozvo uti kwavari, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, hakuna shoko rimwe ramashoko angu richazononoka, asi shoko randichataura richaitika, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
28Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord Jehovah.
