¹Shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

²Mwanakomana womunhu, porofita, uti, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ungudzai! Aiwa, zuva rakaipa sei!

²Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day!

³nekuti zuva rava pedo, izuva ramakore; ichava nguva yamarudzi avanhu.

³For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

⁴Munondo uchauya pamusoro peEgipita, kurwadziwa kukuru kuchavapo paItiopia, kana vakaurawa vachiparadzwa vachabvisa vanhu vayo vazhinji, nenheyo dzayo dzichakoromorwa.

⁴A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

⁵Itiopia nePuti, neRudhi, navanhu vose vakavhengana, neKubhi, navana venyika vakaita sungano, vachaparadzwa pamwechete navo nomunondo.

⁵Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Naivo vanotsigira Egipita vachaparadzwa; kuzvikudza kwesimba rayo kuchaderera; vachaparadzwamo nomunondo kubva paMigidhori kusvikira paSevhene.

⁶Thus says Yahweh: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁷Vachava dongo pakati penyika dzakaitwa matongo, namaguta ayo achava pakati pamaguta akaitwa matongo.

⁷They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁸Zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndaisa moto vabatsiri vayo vose vaparadzwa.

⁸They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

⁹Nezuva iro nhume dzichabva kwandiri nezvikepe kundotyisa vaItiopia vasine hanya; vachava nokurwadziwa kukuru, sapazuva reEgipita; nokuti, tarirai, zvinouya.

⁹In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.

¹⁰Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichagumisawo vanhu vazhinji veEgipita noruoko rwaNebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi.

¹⁰Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

¹¹Iye navanhu vake vaanavo, vanotyisa zvikuru pakati pamarudzi, vachauyiswamo kuzoparadza nyika; vachavhomorera Egipita minondo yavo, nokuzadza nyika navakaurawa.

¹¹He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

¹²Ndichapwisa mvura yenzizi, nokutengesa nyika mumaoko avanhu vakaipa; nyika ndichaiita dongo, nezvose zvirimo, noruoko rwavatorwa; ini Jehovha, ndakataura izvozvo.

¹²I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

¹³Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndichaparadzawo zvifananidzo, nemifananidzo ndichaigumisa paNofi; hapangazovi nomuchinda kunyika yeEgipita; ndichaisa kutya panyika yeEgipita.

¹³Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Patirosi ndichariita dongo, paZoani ndichaisa moto, ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro peNo.

¹⁴I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.

¹⁵Ndichadurura hasha dzangu pamusoro peSini, iyo nhare yeEgipita; ndichaparadza vanhu vazhinji veNo.

¹⁵I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁶Ndichaisa moto paEgipita; Sini richabatwa nokurwadziwa kukuru, No richaparadzwa, Nofi richava navavengi masikati.

¹⁶I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.

¹⁷Majaya eAvheni neePibhesheti achaurawa nomunondo, maguta awa achatapwa.

¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.

¹⁸PaTapanesi masikati achaita rima, kana ndichivhunapo majoko kuzvikudza kwesimba raro kuchapera mukati maro; kana riri iro, richafukidzwa negore, vakunda varo vachatapwa.

¹⁸At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁹Saizvozvo ndichaita zvandakatonga pamusoro zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

²⁰Zvino negore regumi nerimwe, nomwedzi wokutanga, nezuva rechinomwe romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

²⁰It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²¹Mwanakomana womunhu, ndavhuna ruoko rwaFarao mambo zvino tarira, haruna kupomberwa, kuti rurapwe, nemishonga, ruiswe chiseketo, kuti ruve nesimba rokubata munondo.

²¹Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.

²²Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Tarirai, ndine mhaka naFarao mambo weEgipita, ndichavhuna maoko ake, irwo rune simba norumwe rwakavhunika; ndichawisa pasi munondo uri paruoko rwake.

²²Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²³Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi, ndichavadzingira kunyika dzose.

²³I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²⁴Asi ndichasimbisa maoko amambo weBhabhironi, nokuisa munondo wangu muruoko rwake; asi ndichavhuna maoko aFarao, uchagomera pamberi pake sezvinogomera munhu akakuvadzwa ari pakufa.

²⁴I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

²⁵Ndichatsigira maoko amambo weBhabhironi, asi maoko aFarao acharemberera pasi; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana ndichiisa munondo wangu muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi, iye akautambanudzira pamusoro penyika

²⁵I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.

²⁶Ndichaparadzira vaEgipita pakati pamarudzi avanhu, nokuvadzingirira kunyika dzose; zvino vachazoziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

²⁶I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
