¹Zarura mikova yako, iwe Rebhanoni, kuti moto upedze misidhari yako.

¹Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

²Ungudza iwe musipiresi, nekuti musidhari wawira pasi, nekuti miti yakanaka kwazvo yaparadzwa; ungudzai, imwi miouki yeBhashani, nekuti dondo risingabviri kupindwa ratemwa.

²Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is come down.

³Inzwai izwi rokuungudza kwavafudzi ! nekuti kukudzwa kwavo kwaparadzwa; inzwai izwi rokuwomba kwavana veshumba! nekuti kuzvikudza kwaJoridhani kwaitwa dongo.

³A voice of howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

⁴Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari wangu, Fudza makwai anozourawa;

⁴Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,

⁵iwo anourawa navana vawo, vasingatorwi sevane mhosva; vanowatengesa vanoti, Jehovha ngaavongwe, nekuti ndakafuma; vafudzi vawo havana tsitsi nawo.

⁵whose possessors slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.

⁶nekuti handichazovi netsitsi navagere munyika ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; asi tarirai, ndichaisa vanhu avo, mumwe nomumwe muruoko rwookwake, nomuruoko rwamambo wake; vachaparadza nyika, ini ndisingavarwiri paruoko rwavo.

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.

⁷Saka ini ndakafudza makwai aizourawa, zvirokwazvo aiva makwai aizourawa, zvirokwazvo aiva makwai anonzwisa urombo. Ndikatora tsvimbo mbiri, imwe ndikaitumidza zita rinonzi, Kunaka, imwe ndikaitumidza zita rinonzi Zvisungo; ndikafudza makwai.

⁷So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

⁸Ndikaparadza vafudzi vatatu nomwedzi mumwe, nekuti mweya wangu wakange waneta navo, nemweya yavo yakandisemawo.

⁸And I destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with them, and their soul also loathed me.

⁹Ipapo ndikati, Handichadi kukufudzai; chinoda kufa ngachife hacho, chinofanira kuparadzwa, ngachiparadzwe hacho; akasara ngaadye mumwe nomumwe nyama yomumwe.

⁹And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.

¹⁰Ipapo ndakatora tsvimbo yangu yainzi, Kunaka, ndikaivhuna-vhuna, kuti ndiputse sungano yangu yandakanga ndaita nendudzi bose dzavanhu.

¹⁰And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

¹¹ikavhuniwa nezuva iro; naizvozvo varombo pakati pamakwai, vakanditeerera, vakaziva kuti ishoko raJehovha.

¹¹And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.

¹²Ndikati kwavari, Kana muchiti zvakanaka, chindipai mubayiro wangu; kana zvisakanaka, regai. Ipapo vakandiyerera mubayiro wangu, masirivha ana makumi matatu.

¹²And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my hire; and if not, forbear. And they weighed for my hire thirty silver-pieces.

¹³Jehovha akati kwandiri, Chizvikandira kumuumbi wehari; ndiwo mutengo wakanaka wandakatengwa nawo navo. Ini ndikatora masirivha ana makumi matatu, ndikaakandira kumuumbi wehari mumba maJehovha.

¹³And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁴Ipapo ndikavhuna-vhuna imwe tsvimbo yangu, yainzi, Zvisungo, kuti ndiputse ukama hwaiva pakati paJudha nalsiraeri.

¹⁴And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

¹⁵Ipapo Jehovha akati kwandiri, Chitorazve nhumbi dzomufudzi chete.

¹⁵And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

¹⁶nekuti tarirai, ndichamutsa panyika ino mufudzi asingavi nehanya naakarashika, kana kutsvaka akapararira, kana kurapa akavhunika, kana kufudza anovata; asi achadya nyama yaakakora, nokubvamburanya mahwanda awo.

¹⁶For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hoofs in pieces.

¹⁷Ane nhamo mufudzi asina maturo, anosiya makwai! Munondo uchatema ruoko rwake neziso rake rorudyi; ruoko rwake ruchaoma chose, uye ziso rake rorudyi richasvibirwa chose.

¹⁷Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye utterly darkened.
