¹Shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, zivisa Jerusaremu zvinonyangadza zvaro,

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

³uti, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kuJerusaremu: Kwawakabva nokwawakaberekwa ndiko kunyika yavaKanani; baba vako vakanga vari muAmori, namai vako vakanga vari muHiti.

³and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

⁴Kana kuri kuberekwa kwako, pazuva rokuzvarwa kwako rukuvhute rwako haruna kugurwa, uye hauna kushambidzwa nemvura kuti unake; hauna kutongokwizwa nomunyu, kana kuputirwa mumachira.

⁴As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵Hakuna ziso rakakunzwira tsitsi, kana kukuitira chinhu chimwe chezvinhu izvi, nokuva netsitsi newe; asi wakarashirwa kusango, nekuti vakasema hupenyu hwako nezuva rokuzvarwa kwako.

⁵No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

⁶Ndakapfuura kwauri, ndikakuona uchipfakanyika muropa rako, ndikati kwauri uri muropa rako, Rarama! Zvirokwazvo, ndakati kwauri uri muropa rako, Rarama!

⁶When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

⁷Ndakakupamhidzira kwazvo sezvinomera kusango, ukawanda nokukura, ukasvikira pahukomba hwakaisvonaka; mazamu ako akakura, nevhudzi rako rakamera, asi wakange usina kufuka, wakashama.

⁷I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁸Ndakapfuura kwauri, ndikakutarira, ndikaona kuti nguvo yako yakanga iri nguvo yorudo. Ipapo ndakawarira nguvo yangu pamusoro pako, ndikafukidza kushama kwako; zvirokwazvo, ndakakupikira, ndikaita sungano newe, iwe ukava wangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

⁸Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁹Ipapo ndakakushambidza nemvura; zvirokwazvo, ndakashambidza ropa rako kwauri, ndikakuzodza namafuta.

⁹Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

¹⁰Ndakakufukidzawo nezvakarukwa,ndikakupfekedza shangu, shangu dzamatebwe, ndakasunga chiuno nomucheka wakaisvonaka, ndikakufukidza nesirika.

¹⁰I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹¹Ndakakushongedza hukomba, ndikaisa zvishongo zvamaoko pazvanza zvako, nengetani pamutsipa wako.

¹¹I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹²Ndikaisa chindori pamhino dzako, nezvishongo zvenzeve panzeve dzako, nekorona yakanaka pamusoro wako.

¹²I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹³Wakazvishongedza nendarama nesirivha, zvokufuka zvako zvakanga zviri zvomucheka wakaisvonaka nesirika nezvakarukwa; wakadya hupfu hwakatsetseka nohuchi namafuta; hwakanga hwakanaka kwazvo, ukapfuurira mberi kusvikira kuhushe.

¹³Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

¹⁴Mbiri yako yokunaka kwako yakapararira pakati pamarudzi, nekuti yakanga yakakwana kwazvo nokuda kohumambo hwangu hwandakanga ndaisa pamusoro pako, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹⁴Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵Asi iwe wakavimba nokunaka kwako, ukapata nokuda kwembiri yako, ukadurura kupata kwako kunomumwe nomumwe waipfuura napo, kukava kwake.

¹⁵But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

¹⁶Wakatora dzimwe nguvo dzako, ukazviitira nzvimbo dzakakwirira, dzakashongedzwa namavara mazhinji, ukandopata pamusoro padzo. Zvinhu zvakadai hazvizaifanira kuuya kana kuitika.

¹⁶You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁷Zvishongo zvako zvakanaka wakazvitora pandarama yangu nesirivha yangu, zvandakanga ndakupa, ukazviitira zvifananidzo zvavarume, ukapata nazvo;

¹⁷You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

¹⁸ukatora nguvo dzako dzakarukwa, ukazvifukidza nadzo, ukagadza mafuta angu nezvinonhuhwira zvangu pamberi pazvo.

¹⁸and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

¹⁹Zvokudya zvangu zvandakakupa, ihwo hupfu hwakatsetseka namafuta nohuchi zvandakakupa kuti uzvidye, wakazvigadza pamberi pazvo, zviite bwema hunonhuhwira; ndizvo zvawakaita, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹⁹My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

²⁰Uyezve, wakatora vanakomana vako navanasikana vako, vawakandiberekera, ukazvibayira ivo, kuti vadyiwe. Ko kupata kwako chakanga chiri chinhu chiduku here,

²⁰Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

²¹zvawakazouraya vana vangu, ukazvipa ivo, kuti uzvipinzire ivo mumoto here?

²¹that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

²²Zvino pakati pezvinonyangadza zvako zvose nokupata kwako hauna kurangarira mazuva ohuduku hwako, panguva yawakanga usino kufuka, wakashama, uchipfakanyika muropa rako.

²²In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

²³Zvino shure kwezvakaipa zvako zvose haiwa, une nhamo, une nhamo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

²³It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

²⁴Wakazvivakira nzvimbo yokufeva nokuzviitira nzvimbo yakakwirira panzira dzose dzomumusha.

²⁴that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

²⁵Wakavaka nzvimbo yako yakakwirira pakuvamba kwenzira imwe neimwe, ukashandura kunaka kwako zvikava zvinonyangadza, ukafukurira vose vanopfuura tsoka dzako, ukawanza kupata kwako.

²⁵You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

²⁶Wakafevawo navaEgipita, vakanga vagere pedo newe, vane miviri mikuru; ukawanza kupata kwako, kuti unditsamwise.

²⁶You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

²⁷Naizvozvo tarira, ndakatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro pako, ndikatapudza zvokudya zvako zvaunodya misi yose, ndikakuisa kuna vanokuvenga vakuitire sokuda kwavo, ivo vakunda vavaFirisitia vakanyadziswa nomufambiro wako wakashata.

²⁷See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

²⁸Wakapatawo navaAsiria, nekuti wakange usingagoni kuguta; zvirokwazvo, wakapata navo, asi zvakadaro hauna kugutsikana nazvo.

²⁸You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.

²⁹Wakawanzawo kupata kwako kusvikira kunyika yavashambadziri, iko kuKaradhea; kunyange zvakadaro hauna kuringaniswa nazvo.

²⁹You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.

³⁰Moyo wako unoshaiwa simba sei, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Zvaunoita zvinhu izvi zvose, zvinoitwa nechifeve chisinganyari;

³⁰How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

³¹zvaunovaka nzvimbo yako yokufeva pakuvamba kwenzira imwe neimwe, nokuita nzvimbo yako yakakwirira panzira imwe neimwe yomumusha; asi hauna kuita sechifeve, zvawakashora muripo.

³¹in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

³²Aiwa! Mukadzi akawanikwa anofeva! Anogamuchira vatorwa panzvimbo yomurume wake!

³²A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!

³³Zvifeve zvose zvinopiwa zvipo, asi iwe unopa vadikamwi vako vose zvipo, uchivatenga, kuti vauye kwauri vachibva kumativi ose nokuda kokupata kwako.

³³They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

³⁴Naizvozvo pane kuparadzana navamwe vakadzi pakupata kwako, zvakusina unokutevera kupata newe; uye zvaunopa muripo iwe, asi iwe haupiwi muripo, naizvozvo wakapesana navamwe.

³⁴You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

³⁵Naizvozvo iwe chifeve, chinzwa shoko raJehovha,

³⁵Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:

³⁶zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndarira yako zvayakadururwa, nokunyadza kwako zvakwakafukurwa nokupata kwako navadikamwi vako, uye nokuda kwezvifananidzo zvose zvezvinonyangadza zvako, neropa ravana vako, rawakazvipa;

³⁶Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

³⁷naizvozvo tarira, ndichaunganidza vadikamwi vako vose, vawakafarirana navo, navose vawakanga uchida, pamwechete navose vawakanga uchivenga; ndichakuunganidzira ivo vachibva kumativi ose, nokuvafukurira kunyadza kwako, kuti vaone kunyadza kwako kose.

³⁷therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

³⁸Ndichakutonga sezvinotongwa vakadzi voupombwe navanoteura ropa; ndichauyisa pamusoro pako ropa rehasha negodo.

³⁸I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

³⁹Ndichakuisawo mumaoko avo; vachakoromora nzvimbo yako yokufeva, nokuputsa nzvimbo dzako dzakakwirira; vachakubvisira nguvo dzako, nokukutorera zvishongo zvako zvakanaka; vachakusiya usina chokufuka wakashama.

³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

⁴⁰Vachauyawo neungano kuzorwa newe, ivo vachakutaka namabwe nokubvoora neminondo yavo.

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

⁴¹Vachapisa dzimba dzako nomoto, nokukuitira zvakatongwa pamberi pavakadzi vazhinji; ndichakuregesa kupata kwako, iwe hauchazovapi muripo wechifeve.

⁴¹They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

⁴²Saizvozvo ndichazorodza hasha dzangu kwauri, godo rangu richabva kwauri; ndichanyarara, ndikasazova nokutsamwa.

⁴²So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³Zvausina kurangarira mazuva ohuduku hwako, asi wakanditsamwisa nezvinhu izvi zvose, naizvozvo, tarira, ndichauyisa zvawakaita pamusoro wako, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha; haungazoiti zvakashata izvozvo nezvinonyangadza zvako zvose.

⁴³Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

⁴⁴Tarira, mumwe nomumwe anobata netsumo, achabata tsumo iyi pamusoro pako, achiti, Sezvakaita mai, ndizvo zvakaita mwanasikana wavo.

⁴⁴Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵Iwe uri mwanasikana wamai vako, vanosema murume wavo navana vavo; iwe uri munin'ina wavakoma vako, vakasema varume vavo navana vavo; amai vako vakanga vari muHiti, nababa vako muAmori.

⁴⁵You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶Mukoma wako ndiSamaria, anogara kuruboshwe rwako, iye navanasikana vake; munin'ina wako anogara kurudyi rwako, ndiSodhoma navanasikana vake.

⁴⁶Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷Asi hauna kufamba nenzira dzavo, kana kuita zvinonyangadza zvavo; asi izvo wakati zviduku, wakavapfura ivo vose nenzira dzako dzakaora.

⁴⁷Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing , you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

⁴⁸Noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha munin'ina wako Sodhoma, Iye navanasikana vake, havana kuita sezvawakaita iwe navanasikana vako.

⁴⁸As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

⁴⁹Tarira, zvakaipa zvaSodhoma muninina wako hezvi: Kuzvikudza, zvokudya zvakawandisa, nokuzorora kusina hanya nechinhu, ndizvo zvaakanga anazvo navanasikana vake; haana kusimbisa ruoko rwavarombo navanoshayiwa.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰Vakanga vane manyawi. vakaita zvinonyangadza pamberi pangu; saka ndichizviona ndakavabvisa.

⁵⁰They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵¹Kunyange neSamaria harina kuita hafu yezvivi zvako; asi iwe wakawanzisa zvinonyangadza zvako kupfuura zvavo, ukapembedza vanin'ina vako nezvinonyangadza zvako zvose zvawakaita.

⁵¹Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

⁵²Iwe chiva nemhosva yezvinonyadzisa zvako, zvawakapembedza vanin'ina vako; nokuda kwezvivi zvako zvawakaita zvinonyangadza kupfuura zvavo, ivo vava vakarurama kupfuura iwe; zvirokwazvo, chisvodeswa iwe, uve nokunyadziswa kwako, zvawakapembedza vanin'ina vako.

⁵²You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

⁵³Ndichadzosazve kutapwa kwavo, iko kutapwa kweSodhoma navanasikana varo, nokutapwa kweSamaria navanasikana varo, nokutapwa kwavatapwa vako vari pakati pavo;

⁵³I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;

⁵⁴kuti iwe uve nokunyadziswa kwako, unyare pamusoro pezvose zvawakaita uchivanyaradza.

⁵⁴that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

⁵⁵Vanin'ina vako Sodhoma navanasikana vake vachadzokera kumugariro wavo wakare, naSamaria navanasikana vake vachadzokera kumugariro wavo wakare, newe navanasikana vako muchadzokera kumugariro wenyu wakare.

⁵⁵Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶nekuti munin'ina wako Sodhoma haana kurehwa nomuromo wako nezuva rokuzvikudza kwako,

⁵⁶For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

⁵⁷zvakashata zvako zvisati zvafukurwa, sapanguva yokushorwa kwako navanasikana veSiria navose vakavapoteredza, vanasikana vavaFirisitia, vanokuzvidza kumativi ose.

⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

⁵⁸Une mhosva yezvakashata zvako nezvinonyangadza zvako, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

⁵⁸You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.

⁵⁹nekuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichakuitirawo sezvawakaita iwe, wakashora kupika pakuputsa kwako sungano.

⁵⁹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁶⁰Kunyange zvakadaro ndicharangarira sungano yangu yandakaita newe pamazuva ohuduku hwako, ndisimbise sungano isingaperi newe.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

⁶¹Ipapo ucharangarira nzira dzako; uchanyara, kana uchigamuchira vakoma vako navanin'ina vako; ndichakupa ivo, vave vanasikana vako, asi hazvingaitwi pamusoro pesungano yako.

⁶¹Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

⁶²Ndichasimbisa sungano yangu newe; zvino uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha;

⁶²I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;

⁶³kuti urangarire, usvodeswe, urege kuzoshamisa muromo wakozve nokuda kokunyara kwako, kana ndakukangamwira zvose zvawakaita, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

⁶³that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.
