¹Shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, porofita, uti, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ungudzai! Aiwa, zuva rakaipa sei!

²Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, Alas for the day!

³nekuti zuva rava pedo, izuva ramakore; ichava nguva yamarudzi avanhu.

³For the day is at hand, yea, the day of Jehovah is at hand, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the nations.

⁴Munondo uchauya pamusoro peEgipita, kurwadziwa kukuru kuchavapo paItiopia, kana vakaurawa vachiparadzwa vachabvisa vanhu vayo vazhinji, nenheyo dzayo dzichakoromorwa.

⁴And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and there shall be anguish in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be overthrown.

⁵Itiopia nePuti, neRudhi, navanhu vose vakavhengana, neKubhi, navana venyika vakaita sungano, vachaparadzwa pamwechete navo nomunondo.

⁵Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Naivo vanotsigira Egipita vachaparadzwa; kuzvikudza kwesimba rayo kuchaderera; vachaparadzwamo nomunondo kubva paMigidhori kusvikira paSevhene.

⁶Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down: from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in her by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁷Vachava dongo pakati penyika dzakaitwa matongo, namaguta ayo achava pakati pamaguta akaitwa matongo.

⁷And they shall be desolated in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁸Zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndaisa moto vabatsiri vayo vose vaparadzwa.

⁸And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers shall be broken.

⁹Nezuva iro nhume dzichabva kwandiri nezvikepe kundotyisa vaItiopia vasine hanya; vachava nokurwadziwa kukuru, sapazuva reEgipita; nokuti, tarirai, zvinouya.

⁹In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships, to make careless Ethiopia afraid; and anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for behold, it cometh!

¹⁰Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichagumisawo vanhu vazhinji veEgipita noruoko rwaNebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi.

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

¹¹Iye navanhu vake vaanavo, vanotyisa zvikuru pakati pamarudzi, vachauyiswamo kuzoparadza nyika; vachavhomorera Egipita minondo yavo, nokuzadza nyika navakaurawa.

¹¹He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with slain.

¹²Ndichapwisa mvura yenzizi, nokutengesa nyika mumaoko avanhu vakaipa; nyika ndichaiita dongo, nezvose zvirimo, noruoko rwavatorwa; ini Jehovha, ndakataura izvozvo.

¹²And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I Jehovah have spoken [it].

¹³Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichaparadzawo zvifananidzo, nemifananidzo ndichaigumisa paNofi; hapangazovi nomuchinda kunyika yeEgipita; ndichaisa kutya panyika yeEgipita.

¹³Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Patirosi ndichariita dongo, paZoani ndichaisa moto, ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro peNo.

¹⁴And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgment in No.

¹⁵Ndichadurura hasha dzangu pamusoro peSini, iyo nhare yeEgipita; ndichaparadza vanhu vazhinji veNo.

¹⁵And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶Ndichaisa moto paEgipita; Sini richabatwa nokurwadziwa kukuru, No richaparadzwa, Nofi richava navavengi masikati.

¹⁶And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be rent asunder, and at Noph [there shall be] enemies in open day.

¹⁷Majaya eAvheni neePibhesheti achaurawa nomunondo, maguta awa achatapwa.

¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these shall go into captivity.

¹⁸PaTapanesi masikati achaita rima, kana ndichivhunapo majoko kuzvikudza kwesimba raro kuchapera mukati maro; kana riri iro, richafukidzwa negore, vakunda varo vachatapwa.

¹⁸And at Tehaphnehes the day shall be darkened, when I break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her strength shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁹Saizvozvo ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

²⁰Zvino negore regumi nerimwe, nomwedzi wokutanga, nezuva rechinomwe romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

²⁰And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²¹Mwanakomana womunhu, ndavhuna ruoko rwaFarao mambo zvino tarira, haruna kupomberwa, kuti rurapwe, nemishonga, ruiswe chiseketo, kuti ruve nesimba rokubata munondo.

²¹Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it shall not be bound up to apply remedies, to put a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

²²Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarirai, ndine mhaka naFarao mambo weEgipita, ndichavhuna maoko ake, irwo rune simba norumwe rwakavhunika; ndichawisa pasi munondo uri paruoko rwake.

²²Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong one, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²³Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi, ndichavadzingira kunyika dzose.

²³And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²⁴Asi ndichasimbisa maoko amambo weBhabhironi, nokuisa munondo wangu muruoko rwake; asi ndichavhuna maoko aFarao, uchagomera pamberi pake sezvinogomera munhu akakuvadzwa ari pakufa.

²⁴And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; and I will break Pharaoh's arms, so that he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly-wounded [man].

²⁵Ndichatsigira maoko amambo weBhabhironi, asi maoko aFarao acharemberera pasi; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndichiisa munondo wangu muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi, iye akautambanudzira pamusoro penyika

²⁵And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it out upon the land of Egypt.

²⁶Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi avanhu, nokuvadzingirira kunyika dzose; zvino vachazoziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

²⁶And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
