¹Ndakaona Ishe amire parutivi rwearitari, akati, Rova misoro yembiru, kuti zvikumbaridzo zvidedere, uzviputsanye pamisoro yavo yose; ndichauraya wokupedzisira pakati pavo nomunondo; hakuna nomumwe wavo achatiza, hakuna nomumwe wavo achapukunyuka.

¹I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

²Kunyange vakachera kusvikira paSheori, ruoko rwangu ruchandovatorapo; kunyange vakakwira kusvikira kudenga, ndichavaburusapo.

²Though they dig into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

³Kunyange vakandovanda pamusoro peKarimeri, ndichavatsvaka nokuvabvisapo; kunyange vakavanda meso angu pakudzika kwegungwa, ndicharaira nyoka kundovarumapo.

³Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

⁴Kunyange vakatapwa navavengi vavo, ndicharaira munondo kundovaurayapo, ndicharinzira meso angu kwavari kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa, ndirege kuvaitira zvakanaka.

⁴Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

⁵nekuti Ishe Jehovha wehondo ndiye unobata nyika ikanyauka, vose vageremo vachachema; ichakwira yose soRwizi, ichadederazve soRwizi rweEgipita;

⁵For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁶ndiye anovaka makamuri ake kudenga, wakateya denga rake panyika; iye anodana mvura zhinji yegungwa achiidururira panyika pose; Jehovha ndiro zita rake.

⁶It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

⁷Nhai, imwi vana vaIsiraeri, ko hamuzi kwandiri savana veItiopia here? Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Handizini ndakabudisa Isiraeri panyika yeEgipita here, navaFirisitia paKafitori, navaSiria paKiri here?

⁷Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

⁸Tarirai, meso aIshe Jehovha anoona ushe hunotadza, ndichahuparadza ndihubvise panyika pose, asi handingaparadzi chose imba yaJakove ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.

⁹nekuti tarirai, ndicharaira, ndichapepeta imba yaIsiraeri pakati pamarudzi ose, sezvinopepetwa zviyo mumusero, kunyange zvakadaro tsanga imwe dukuduku haingawiri pasi.

⁹“For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

¹⁰Vatadzi vose vavanhu vangu vachaurawa nomunondo,

¹⁰All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

¹¹Nezuva iro ndichamutsa tabherinakeri yaDhavhidhi yakawira pasi, nokudzivirapo pakakoromorwa; ndichamutsazve matongo ayo, ndichaivakazve sezvayakanga yakaita pamazuva akare;

¹¹In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

¹²kuti vazvitorere zvakasara zvaEdhomu, namarudzi ose akatumidzwa nezita rangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, anoita izvozvi.

¹²that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.

¹³Tarirai, mazuva anouya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Murimi achabata mucheki, nomusvini wemizambiringa achabata anodzvara mbeu; makomo achadonha waini inozipa, uye zvikomo zvose zvichanyauka.

¹³“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

¹⁴Ndichadzosa kutapwa kwavanhu vangu vaIsiraeri, vachavaka maguta akaparadzwa, vachigaramo; vachasima minda yemizambiringa, vachimwa waini yayo; vacharimawo mimwe minda, vachidya zvibereko zvayo.

¹⁴I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

¹⁵Ndichavasima panyika yavo, havangazodzurwizve panyika yavo yandakavapa, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

¹⁵I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.
