1Vane nhamo vanofunga zvakaipa vachiita zvisakarurama panhovo dzavo! Vanozviita mangwanani kana koedza, nekuti simba rokuzviita riri mumaoko avo.
1Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2Vanochiva minda, ndokuipamba, nedzimba, dzokuzvitorera idzo; vanomanikidza murume neimba yake, murume nenhaka yake.
2And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha, Tarirai, ndinofungira rudzi urwu zvakaipa, hamungagoni kubvisa mitsipa yenyu pazvivi, hamungafambi namanyawi, nekuti inguva yakaipa.
3Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
4Nezuva iro vachataura mufananidzo pamusoro penyu, nokuchema nokuchema kokurira, vachiti, Takaparadzwa chose, iye unopa vamwe mugove wavanhu vangu, aiwa wanditorera ini sei! Minda yedu anoigovera vanomumukira.
4In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove [it] from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.
5Saka iwe uchashaiwa munhu anokukandira rwonzi rwokuyera nhaka yako paungano yaJehovha.
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
6Regai kuporofita ndizvo zvavanoporofita ivo. Kana vasingaporofiti pamusoro pezvinhu izvi, kushoora kwavo hakungaperi.
6Prophesy ye not, [thus] they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
7Nhai imwi munonzi imba yaJakove, Mweya waJehovha wafupiswa here? Ndiwo mabasa ake here? Ko mashoko angu haangaitiri zvakanaka anofamba nokururama here?
7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8Asi zuro vanhu vangu vakandimukira somuvengi; munozumbura jasi panguvo dzavanopfuura havo norugare vasingadi kurwa.
8But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war.
9Munodzinga vakadzi vavanhu vangu padzimba dzavo dzinofadza; munoteerera vana vavo vaduku mbiri yangu nokusingaperi.
9The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
10simukai, muende, nekuti haizi nzvimbo yokuzorora pano, nemhaka yetsvina inoparadza nokuparadza kwakaipa kwazvo.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.
11Kana munhu aripo, anofambira mhepo nenhema, anoreva nhema achiti, Ndichakuporofitira zvewaini nezvinomwiwa zvinobata, iye achava muporofita wavanhu ava.
11If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12Zvirokwazvo ndichakuunganidza, Jakove, iwe wose; zvirokwazvo ndichaunganidza vakasara vaIsiraeri; ndichavaisa pamwechete samakwai muchirugu, seboka ramakwai pakati pamafuro awo; vachaita ruzha rukuru nokuwanda kwavanhu.
12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
13Mupasanuri wakavatungamirira; vakapasanura, vakapfuurira kusuwo, vakabuda napo; mambo wavo wakavatungamirira, Jehovha ari pamberi pavo.
13The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
