¹Swederai, imwi marudzi avanhu, munzwe, teererai imwi vanhu, nyika ngainzwe, nezvose zvayo, pasi pose, nezvose zvinobudamo.

¹Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth from it.

²nekuti Jehovha akatsamwira marudzi ose, ane hasha nehondo dzawo dzose; akavaparadza chose, akavaisa pakuurawa.

²For Jehovah hath indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

³Vakaurawa vavo vacharaswa kunze, kunhuwa kwezvitunha zvavo kuchakwira, makomo achanyauswa neropa ravo.

³Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies shall come up; and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

⁴Hondo dzose dzokudenga dzichanyakatika, denga rose richapetwa sorugwaro rwakapetwa; hondo dzaro dzose dzichaoma, sokuoma kwamashizha pamuzambiringa, uye seshizha rinooma pamuonde.

⁴And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading [leaf] from the fig-tree.

⁵nekuti munondo wangu wamwa ukaguta kudenga; tarirai uchaburukira pamusoro paEdhomu, napamusoro pavanhu vakatukwa neni, kuti vatongwe.

⁵For my sword hath drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

⁶Munondo waJehovha uzere neropa, unobwinya namafuta, neropa ramakwayana nerembudzana, namafuta etsvo dzamakondobwe; nekuti Jehovha ane chibayiro chake paBhozira, nokubaya kukuru panyika yaEdhomu.

⁶The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁷Nyati dzichawa pamwechete navo, nenzombe pamwechete nehandira; nyika yavo ichabatwa neropa, guruva ravo richazara namafuta.

⁷And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls: and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

⁸nekuti Jehovha ane zuva rokutsiva, negore rokutsiva zvakaitirwa Ziyoni.

⁸For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

⁹Hova dzayo dzichashanduka namo, ,huruva rayo sariferi, nyika yavo ichaitwa namo inopfuta.

⁹And the streams of [Edom] shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

¹⁰Haingadzimwi usiku namasikati; utsi hwayo huchakwira nokusingaperi; richava dongo kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi; hakuna munhu angapfuura noko nokusingaperi.

¹⁰It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

¹¹Asi zvichava zvehukurwizi nenungu; zizi negunguvo zvichagaramo; achatambanudzirapo rwonzi rwokuparadza nechokururamisa chezvisina chinhu.

¹¹But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.

¹²Vakuru vayo vachadanirwa kuushe, asi havangavipo; machinda ayo ose achava pasina.

¹²They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.

¹³mhinzwa ichamera mudzimba dzamadzimambo ayo, hutumbambeva norukato munhare dzayo; huchava hugaro hwamakava, nenzvimbo yemhou.

¹³And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

¹⁴Zvikara zvomusango zvichasangana namapere, mweya wakaipa uchadana shamwari yawo; zvirokwazvo, chikara chousiku chichagarapo norugare, chichiwanapo nzvimbo yokuzorora.

¹⁴And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest.

¹⁵Rovambira richaita dendere raropo, nokukandira, nokuchechenya mazai aro, nokuunganidza vana varo mumumvuri waro; zvirokwazvo, ndipo pachaunganira ruvangu, rumwe norumwe neshamwari yarwo.

¹⁵There shall the dart-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shade; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate.

¹⁶Tsvakai pabhuku yaJehovha, murave; hapana chimwe chezvinhu izvi chichashaikwa, chichashaiwa shamwari yacho; nekuti muromo wangu wakarayira izvozvo, nomweya wake wakazviunganidza.

¹⁶Seek ye out of the book of Jehovah, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.

¹⁷Iye wakazvikandira mijenya, ruoko rwake rwakazviganhurira nyika norwonzi; ichava yazvo nokusingaperi, vachagaramo kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi.

¹⁷And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
