¹Nenguva iyo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ndichava Mwari wamarudzi ose aIsiraeri, naivo vachava vanhu vangu.

¹At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

²Vanhu vakapukunyuka pamunondo, ivo vaIsiraeri, vakawana nyasha murenje, panguva yandakandovazorodza.

²Thus saith Jehovah: The people [that were] left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, [even] Israel, when I go to give him rest.

³Jehovha wakazviratidza kwandiri ari kure, akati, Zvirokwazvo, ndakabuda norudo rusingaperi, naizvozvo ndakakukweva nohunyoro.

³Jehovah hath appeared from afar unto me, [saying,] Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.

⁴Ndichakuvakazve, ipapo uchava wakavakwa, iwe mhandara yaIsiraeri; uchashongedzazve ngoma dzako, uchabuda kundotamba navanofara.

⁴I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

⁵Uchasimazve minda yemizambiringa pamakomo eSamaria; vasimi vachasima nokudya zvibereko zvayo.

⁵Thou shalt again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat the fruit.

⁶nekuti zuva richasvika, naro nharirire dzichadana pamakomo aEfuremu, dzichiti, Simukai imi, tikwire Ziyoni kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.

⁶For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God.

⁷nekuti zvanzi naJehovha, Imbirai Jakove nomufaro, pururudzirai mukuru wamarudzi; paridzirai, rumbidzai muti, Jehovha, ponesai vanhu venyu, ivo vakasara vaIsiraeri

⁷For thus saith Jehovah: Sing aloud [with] gladness for Jacob, and shout at the head of the nations; publish ye, praise ye, and say, Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

⁸Tarirai ndichavavuyisa vachibva kunyika yokumusoro, ndichavaunganidza kumigumo yenyika, pamwechete namapofu, nemhetamakumbo, navakadzi vava nomuviri pamwechete navanosurumuka; vachadzokera kuno riri boka guru.

⁸Behold, I bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth; [and] among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great assemblage shall they return hither.

⁹Vachauya vachichema, ndichavaperekedza vachinyengetera; ndichivafambisa panzizi dzemvura zhinji, nenzira yakarurama, pavasingazogumburwi; nekuti ndiri baba kuna Isiraeri, Efuremu idangwe rangu.

⁹They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by water-brooks, in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I will be a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

¹⁰Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imwi marudzi, muriparidzire pazviwi zviri kure, muti, Wakaparadzira Isiraeri, ndiye uchavaunganidza, nokuvachengeta, sezvinoita mufudzi boka rake.

¹⁰Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and declare [it] to the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.

¹¹nekuti Jehovha wakadzikunura Jakove, akamurwira muruoko rwounopfuura nesimba.

¹¹For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of one stronger than he.

¹²Vachauya vachiimba panzvimbo yakakwirira yeZiyoni, vachayerera semvura kune zvakanaka zvaJehovha, kuzviyo, nokuwaini itsva, nokumafuta, nokuzvibereko zvamakwai nemombe; mweya wavo uchava somunda wakadiridzwa, havangatongovi nokusuwazve.

¹²And they shall come and sing aloud upon the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for corn, and for new wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not languish any more at all.

¹³Ipapo mhandara ichafara nokutamba, namajaya navatana pamwechete; nekuti ndichashandura kuchema kwavo uve mufaro, ndichavanyaradza, nokuvafadza pakusuwa kwavo.

¹³Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into gladness, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice after their sorrow.

¹⁴Ndichagutisa mweya yavapristi namafuta, uye vanhu vangu vachaguta nezvakanaka zvangu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

¹⁴And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah.

¹⁵Zvanzi naJehovha, Inzwi rinonzwika muRama, rokuwungudza nokuchema kukuru, Rakeri unochema vana vake; unoramba kunyaradzwa pamusoro pavana vake, nekuti havachipo.

¹⁵Thus saith Jehovah: A voice hath been heard in Ramah, the wail of very bitter weeping, -- Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

¹⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Dzora inzwi rako pakuchema, nameso ako pamisodzi, nekuti basa rako richaripirwa mubayiro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; vachadzokazve vachibva kunyika yavavengi vavo.

¹⁶Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

¹⁷Mugumo wako une tariro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; vana vako vachadzokerazve kumiganho yavo.

¹⁷And there is hope for thy latter end, saith Jehovah, and thy children shall come again to their own border.

¹⁸Zvirokwazvo ndakanzwa Efuremu achizvichema, achiti, Imi makandirova, ndikarohwa semhuru isina kupingudzwa; ndidzoserei imi, ipapo ndichadzoka, nekuti imwi muri Jehovha Mwari wangu.

¹⁸I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]: Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised as a bullock not trained: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art Jehovah my God.

¹⁹Zvirokwazvo, ndakati ndadzoka, ndikatendeuka, ndakati ndarairirwa, ndikazvirova pahudyu; ndakanyadziswa, zvirokwazvo, ndakanyara, nekuti ndakatakura kushoorwa kohuduku hwangu.

¹⁹Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after I knew myself, I smote upon [my] thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, for I bear the reproach of my youth.

²⁰Ko Efuremu ndiye mwanakomana wangu unodikamwa here? Ndiye mwana unondifadza here? nekuti nguva dzose kana ndichimutuka, ndinoramba ndichimurangarira kwazvo; naizvozvo moyo wangu unomuchemera; zvirokwazvo, ndichamunzwira nyasha, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

²⁰Is Ephraim a dear son unto me? is he a child of delights? For whilst I have been speaking against him, I do constantly remember him still. Therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I will certainly have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah.

²¹Zvimisirei shongwe dzenzira, zviitirei zvino; rerekerai moyo yenyu kunzira huru, iyo nzira yamakafamba nayo; dzokazve, mhandara yaIsiraeri, dzokerazve kumaguta ako awa.

²¹Set up waymarks, make for thyself signposts; set thy heart toward the highway, the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

²²Ucharamba uchifambiramo kusvikira rinhiko, iwe mukunda wokudzokera shure? nekuti Jehovha wakasika chinhu chitsva panyika, chokuti mukadzi uchambundikira murume.

²²How long wilt thou wander about, thou backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath created a new thing on the earth, a woman shall encompass a man.

²³Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Vachataurazve shoko iri munyika yaJudha nomumaguta ayo, kana ndichidzosazve kutapwa kwavo, vachiti, Jehovha ngaakuropafadze, iwe hugaro hwokururama, iwe gomo rohutsvene.

²³Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: They shall again use this speech, in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness!

²⁴Judha namaguta avo ose vachagaramo pamwechete, varimi navanofamba namapoka avo.

²⁴And therein shall dwell Judah, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks.

²⁵nekuti ndakagutsa mweya wakaneta, nomweya mumwe nomumwe, unokusuwa, ndakausimbisa.

²⁵For I have satiated the weary soul, and every languishing soul have I replenished.

²⁶Ipapo ndakamuka, ndikaona; hope dzangu dzingandizipira.

²⁶-- Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

²⁷Zvanzi naJehovha, Tarirai, mazuva anouya, andichadzvara paimba yaIsiraeri napaimba yaJudha mbeu dzavanhu nembeu dzezvipfuwo.

²⁷Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah [with] the seed of man and the seed of beast.

²⁸Zvino sezvandakavarindira, ndichidzura nokukoromora nokuwisira pasi nokuparadza nokutambudza, saizvozvo ndichavarindira ndivake nokusima ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

²⁸And it shall come to pass, as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them to build, and to plant, saith Jehovah.

²⁹Namazuva awo havangazoti, Madzibaba akadya mazambiringa anovava; meno avana ndokurwadzira.

²⁹In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge:

³⁰Asi mumwe nomumwe uchafira zvakaipa zvake; mumwe nomumwe, unodya mazambiringa anovava, meno ake achabwadzira.

³⁰for every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

³¹Tarirai, mazuva anouya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, andichaita sungano itsva neimba yaIsiraeri, neimba yaJudha.

³¹Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

³²Haingafanani nesungano yandakaita namadzibaba avo namazuva andakavabata ruoko ndikavabudisa munyika yeEgipita, vakaputsa sungano yangu iyo, kunyange ndakanga ndiri murume kwavari ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

³²not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah.

³³Asi heyi sungano yandichaita neimba yalsiraeri shure kwamazuva iwayo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, Ndichaisa murayiro wangu mukati mavo, ndichaunyora pamoyo yavo; ini ndichava Mwari wavo, ivo vachava vanhu vangu.

³³For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

³⁴Havangazodzidzisani, mumwe nomumwe nowokwake, mumwe nomumwe nehama yake, achiti, Ziva Jehovha; nekuti vachandiziva vose, kubva kuvaduku pakati pavo, kusvikira kuvakuru pakati pavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; nekuti ndichakangamwira kuipa kwavo, nezvivi zvavo handingazozvirangariri.

³⁴And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will pardon their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

³⁵Zvanzi naJehovha, iye unopa zuva rive chiedza masikati, nemirairo yomwedzi neyenyeredzi zvive chiedza vusiku, iye unomutsa gungwa, kuti mafungu aro atinhire, Jehovha wehondo ndiro zita rake.

³⁵Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, who stirreth up the sea so that the waves thereof roar, -- Jehovah of hosts is his name:

³⁶Kana mirairo iyi ikabva pamberi pangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ipapo vana vaIsiraeriwo vangagumawo kuva rudzi pamberi pangu nokusingaperi.

³⁶If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

³⁷Zvanzi naJehovha, Kana denga kumusoro richibvira kuyerwa, nenheyo dzenyika pasi dzichibvira kunzverwa, ipapo neniwo ndicharasha vana vose vaIsiraeri nokuda kwezvose zvavakaita, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

³⁷Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off the whole seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith Jehovah.

³⁸Tarirai, mazuva anouya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, achavakirwa Jehovha guta kubva pashongwe yaHananeri kusvikira kusuwo rekona.

³⁸Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah, from the tower of Hananeel unto the corner-gate.

³⁹Uye rwonzi rwokuyera narwo ruchapfuura ruchiruramira kuchikomo cheGarebhi, ndokudzoka kusvikira paGoa.

³⁹And the measuring line shall yet go forth before it unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath.

⁴⁰Mupata wose wezvitunha nowamadota, neminda yose kusvikira kurukova Kidhironi, kusvikira kukona resuwo ramabhiza kurutivi rwamabvazuva, zvichava zvitsvene kuna Jehovha; hazvingazodzurwi, kana kuparadzwa nokusingaperi.

⁴⁰And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the torrent Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more for ever.
