¹nekuti tarirai, namazuva iwayo nenguva iyo, kana ndichidzosa kutapwa kwaJudha neJerusaremu,

¹For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall turn again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

²ndichaunganidza marudzi ose avanhu, nokuaburusira kumupata waJehoshafati; ndichavatongapo pamusoro pavanhu vangu napamusoro penhaka yangu Isiraeri, vakaparadzirwa navo pakati pamarudzi avanhu; vakagovana nyika yangu,

²I will also gather all the nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people and mine inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land;

³vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatenga chifeve nomukomana, vakatengesa musikana vachipiwa waini, kuti vaimwe.

³and they have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and have drunk [it].

⁴Zvirokwazvo, imwi Tire neSidhoni nenyika dzose dzaFirisitia, munoreveiko kwandiri? Munoda kunditsiva here? Kana mukanditsiva, ndichakudzoserai zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu pakarepo nokukasira.

⁴Yea also, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the districts of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompence? But if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I bring your recompence upon your own head;

⁵Zvamakatora sirivha yangu nendarama yangu, mukandoisa mutemberi dzenyu zvinhu zvangu zvakanaka zvinodikamwa,

⁵because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my beautiful pleasant things,

⁶mukatengesa vana vaJudha navana veJerusaremu kuvanakomana vavaGiriki, kuti muvabvisire kure nenyika yavo;

⁶and the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the children of the Greeks, that ye might remove them far from their border.

⁷tarirai, ndichavamutsa panzvimbo kwamakandovatengesa, ndidzosere pamisoro yenyu zvamakaita;

⁷Behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will bring your recompence upon your own head.

⁸ndichatengesa vanakomana venyu navanasikana venyu mumaoko avana vaJudha, ivo vachandovatengesa kuvanhu veShebha, kurudzi ruri kure, nekuti Jehovha akataura izvozvo.

⁸And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken.

⁹Paridzirai izvozvi pakati pamarudzi; zvigadzirirei kurwa; kurudzirai varume vane simba; varwi vose ngavaswedere, vaende kundorwa.

⁹Proclaim this among the nations: prepare war, arouse the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

¹⁰Pfurai mapadza enyu ive minondo, namapanga enyu okuchekerera miti ave mapfumo; asine simba ngaati, Ndine simba.

¹⁰Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears; let the weak say, I am strong.

¹¹Chimbidzikai, muuye, imwi marudzi ose akapoteredza, muungane; imwi Jehovha, mhare dzenyu ngadziburukireko.

¹¹Haste ye and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah.

¹²Marudzi avanhu ngaamuke, aende kumupata waJehoshafati; nekuti ndipo pandichagara ndichitonga marudzi ose akapoteredza.

¹²Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.

¹³lsai jeko renyu mumunda, nekuti zviyo zvaibva; uyai musvine, nekuti chisviniro chewaini chazara, zvisviniro zvinopafuma; nekuti kushata kwavo kwakura.

¹³Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

¹⁴Vazhinji-zhinji, vazhinji-zhinji varipo mumupata wokutonga! nekuti zuva raJehovha rava pedo mumupata wokutonga.

¹⁴Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is at hand in the valley of decision.

¹⁵Zuva nomwedzi zvasviba, nyeredzi dzinobvisa kupenya kwadzo.

¹⁵The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

¹⁶Jehovha achaomba ari paZiyoni, achanzwisa izwi rake ari paJerusaremu; denga rose nenyika zvichadengenyeka; asi Jehovha uchava utiziro hwevanhu vake, nenhare yavana vaIsiraeri.

¹⁶And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: and Jehovah will be a shelter for his people, and the refuge of the children of Israel.

¹⁷Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu, agere paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene; ipapo Jerusaremu richava guta dzvene, hakuna vatorwa vanozopfuura napo.

¹⁷And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; and Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more.

¹⁸Zvino nezuva iro makomo achadonha waini inotapira, zvikomo zvichayerera mukaka, uye hova dzose dzaJudha dzichayerera mvura zhinji; mumba maJehovha muchabuda tsime, richadiridza mupata weShitimi.

¹⁸And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the water-courses of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

¹⁹Egipita richava dongo, uye Edhomu richava renje rakaparadzwa, nemhaka yesimba rakaitirwa vana vaJudha, zvavakateura ropa risina mhosva panyika yavo.

¹⁹Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in that they have shed innocent blood in their land.

²⁰Asi Judha vachavapo nokusingaperi, uye Jerusaremu kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi.

²⁰But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

²¹Ndichapembedza ropa ravo randisina kumbopembedza; nekuti Jehovha anogara paZiyoni.

²¹And I will purge them from the blood from which I had not purged them: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.
