¹Arieri, Arieri, une nhamo, iwe guta maidzika Dhavhidhi matende ake! Wedzerai gore pagore, nguva dzemitambo ngadzisvike;

¹Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round:

²ipapo ndichamanikidza Arieri, kuchema nokuungudza zvichavapo; richava kwandiri seArieri.

²then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation; and she shall be unto me as Ariel.

³Ndichakukomba panhivi dzose, ndichakukomba navarwi vanorindira, ndichavaka masvingo okurwa newe.

³And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops, and I will raise siege works against thee.

⁴Uchawiswa pasi, uchataura uri pasi muvhu; kutaura kwako kuchabva pasi muguruva; inzwi rako richava seresvikiro rinobva pasi muvhu, kutaura kwako kuchaita zevezeve kuchibva muguruva.

⁴And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

⁵Asi vavengi vako vazhinji vachava seguruva rakatsetseka, navanotyisa sehundi inopepereka; zvirokwazvo zvichaitwa kamwe-kamwe, pakarepo.

⁵But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.

⁶Uchashanyirwa naJehovha wehondo nokutinhira, nokudengenyeka kwenyika, nomubvumo mukuru, nechamupupuri, nedutu guru, nomurazvo womoto unopedza zvose.

⁶She shall be visited of Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.

⁷Kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa neArieri, ivo vose vanorwa naro nenhare yaro, vachaita sezvinorotwa, sezvinoonekwa usiku.

⁷And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.

⁸Zvichafanana nokurota komunhu ane nzara, achiti ndinodya; asi anopepuka, ndokuwana mweya wake usine chinhu; kana sokurota komunhu ane nyota, achiti ndinomwa; asi anopepuka, wanei aziya, mweya wake unopanga mvura; ndizvo zvichaita kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa negomo reZiyoni.

⁸And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

⁹Mirai mushame! Zvipofumadzei, muve mapofu! Vakabatwa, asi havana kubatwa newaini, vanodzedzereka, asi havadzedzereki nezvinobata.

⁹Tarry ye and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

¹⁰nekuti Jehovha wakadurura pamusoro penyu mweya wokubatwa nehope kwazvo, akafumbira meso enyu, vaporofita; nemisoro yenyu, vaoni, wakavafukidza.

¹⁰For Jehovah hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered.

¹¹Kuona kose kwava kwamuri samashoko orugwaro rwakanamirwa, runopiwa munhu anogona kurava zvichinzi,Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handigoni, nekuti rwakanamirwa;

¹¹And all vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed:

¹²zvino rugwaro runopiwa usina kudzidza, zvichinzi, Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handina kudzidza.

¹²and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned.

¹³Ishe akati, Ava vanhu zvavanoswedera kwandiri, vachindikudza nomuromo wavo uye nemiromo yavo, asi moyo yavo vakaiisa kure neni, nokunditya kwavo zvawava murayiro wavanhu wavakadzidziswa;

¹³And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh [unto me], and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught [them];

¹⁴naizvozvo tarirai, ndichapfuura ndichiita pakati pavanhu ava basa rinoshamisa, basa rinoshamisa nechishamiso; uchenjeri hwevakachenjera vavo huchapera, nenjere dzavanhu vavo vakangwara dzichavanzwa.

¹⁴therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

¹⁵Vane nhamo vanotsvaka kuvanzira Jehovha mano avo pakadzika, mabasa avo ari murima, vachiti, Ndiani anotiona, ndiani anotiziva?

¹⁵Woe unto them that hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and that say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

¹⁶Haiwa, kutadza kwenyu! Ko muumbi wehari akaenzana nevhu here, kuti chakaitwa chiti pamusoro pomuiti wacho, Iye haana kundiita; kana chakaumbwa chiti pamusoro pomuumbi wacho, Iye haana njere?

¹⁶Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

¹⁷Ko hakuna kusara chinguva chidukuduku here, Rebhanoni richashandurwa rive munda unobereka zvakanaka, nomunda unobereka zvakanaka uchanzi idondo?

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

¹⁸Zvino nezuva iro vamatsi vachanzwa mashoko orugwaro, meso amapofu achaona ari pakasviba napanerima.

¹⁸And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

¹⁹Vanyoro vachawedzerawo mufaro wavo muna Jehovha, varombo pakati pavanhu vachafara kwazvo muMutsvene waIsiraeri.

¹⁹The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰nekuti anotyisa aparadzwa, mudadi aguma, navose vanogarira zvakaipa vabviswa;

²⁰For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scoffer ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off;

²¹ivo vanopomera munhu mhaka nokuda kweshoko, vanoteyira munhu musungo, anoraira vamwe pasuwo, vanoramba kururamisira wakarurama nemhaka dzamano-mano.

²¹that make a man an offender in [his] cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought.

²²Saka zvanzi naJehovha, akadzikunura Abhurahamu, pamusoro peimba yaJakove, Jakove haanganyadziswi zvino, chiso chake zvino hachingacheneruki.

²²Therefore thus saith Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

²³Asi kana achiona vana vake, iro basa ramaoko angu, pakati pake, vachati zita rangu idzvene; zvirokwazvo, vachati Mutsvene waJakove mutsvene, vachatya Mwari waIsiraeri.

²³But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name; yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.

²⁴Vakarasika pamweyawo vachava nenjere, vanonyunyuta vachadzidziswa.

²⁴They also that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall receive instruction.
