¹Isa hwamanda pamuromo wako. Zvinouya segondo kuzorwa neimba yaJehovha, nekuti vakadarika sungano yangu nokutadzira murayiro wangu.

¹Set the trumpet to thy mouth. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

²Vachadana kwandiri, vachiti, Mwari wangu, isu vaIsiraeri tinokuzivai.

²They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.

³Isiraeri vakarasha zvakanaka; muvengi wavo achavateverera.

³Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him.

⁴Vakagadza madzimambo, asi havana kurairwa neni; vakazvitsaurira machinda, ini ndisingazvizivi; vakazviitira zvifananidzo nesirivha uye nendarama yavo, kuti zviparadzwe.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

⁵Mhuru yako, iwe Samaria, inonyangadza; kutsamwa kwangu kwakavamukira; kusvikira riniko pavachazokwanisa kusununguka pakurangwa?

⁵Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?

⁶nekuti chinhu ichi chakabvawo kuvaIsiraeri; mupfuri wakachiita, hachizi Mwari; zvirokwazvo, mhuri yeSamaria ichaputswa-putswa.

⁶For from Israel is this also: -- a workman made it, and it is no God: for the calf of Samaria shall be [broken in] pieces.

⁷nekuti vanodzvara mhepo, vachacheka chamupupuri, havane zviyo pamunda; chipande hachingavigiri hupfu; kunyange chikabereka, zvichamedzwa navatorwa.

⁷For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

⁸Isiraeri vakamedzwa; zvino vava pakati pamarudzi somudziyo usingadikamwi nomunhu.

⁸Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

⁹nekuti vakaenda Asiria, sembizi inongozvifambira iri yoga; vaEfuremu vakazvitsvakira shamwari vachidziripira.

⁹For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

¹⁰Zvirokwazvo, kunyange vachizvitsvakira idzo pakati pamarudzi, ndichavaunganidza zvino, votanga kutapudzwa nemhaka yokuremedzwa namambo wamachinda.

¹⁰Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.

¹¹Efuremu zvaakawanza maaritari okutadza nawo, maaritari ake akamutadzisa.

¹¹Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

¹²Ndakamunyorera mashoko ane zviuru zvine gumi omurayiro wangu, asi vanoti ndezvavatorwa.

¹²I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted [as] a strange thing.

¹³Kana zviri zvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvangu, vanobayira nyama ndokuidya; asi Jehovha haana kuzvigamuchira; zvino ucharangarira zvakaipa zvavo, nokuvarova pamusoro pezvivi zvavo; vachadzokera Egipita.

¹³They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

¹⁴nekuti Isiraeri vakakangamwa Muiti wavo, vakavaka dzimba dzoushe; Judha vakawanza maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo; asi ini ndichatuma moto kumaguta avo, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzawo.

¹⁴For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
