¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,

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

²Iwe, Mwanakomana womunhu, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kunyika yaIsiraeri, Kuguma, kuguma kwasvika pamakona mana enyika.

²You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end has come on the four corners of the land.

³Zvino kuguma kwasvika kwauri, ini ndichatuma kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pako, ndichakutonga zvakafanira nzira dzako; ndichauyisa pamusoro pako zvinonyangadza zvako zvose.

³Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

⁴Ziso rangu haringakupembedzi, handingavi netsitsiwo; asi ndichauyisa nzira dzako pamusoro pako, nezvinonyangadza zvako zvichava pakati pako; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁴My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁵Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Njodzi, njodzi imwechete, tarirai, inouya.

⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.

⁶Kuguma kwasvika, kuguma kwasvika; kunokumukira mangwanani; tarirai, kwasvika.

⁶An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.

⁷Dzoro rako rasvika, iwe ugere panyika; nguva yasvika, zuva rava pedo, zuva rebope, usati uri mupururu wamakomo.

⁷Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.

⁸Zvino ndobva ndodururira hasha dzangu pamusoro pako, ndichapedza kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pako, nokukutonga zvakafanira nzira dzako; ndichauyisa zvinonyangadza zvako zvose pamusoro pako.

⁸Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

⁹Ziso rangu haringapembedzi, handingavi netsitsiwo; ndichauyisa pamusoro pako zvakafanira nzira dzako; zvinonyangadza zvako zvichava pakati pako; zvino muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndinorova.

⁹My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.

¹⁰Tarirai zuva, tarirai rosvika; dzoro rako rabuda; shamhu yatumbuka, kuzvikudza kwabukira.

¹⁰Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

¹¹Kuita nesimba kwamuka, kwaita shamhu yezvakashata; hakuna chichasara kwavari, kana pavanhu vavo vazhinji, kana pafuma yavo; hakungavi nechinhu chakanaka pakati pavo.

¹¹Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.

¹²Nguva yasvika, zuva rava pedo; mutengi ngaarege kufara, mutengesi ngaarege kuchema; nekuti kutsamwa kuri pamusoro pavanhu vose venyika.

¹²The time has come, the day draws near: don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.

¹³nekuti mutengesi haangadzokeri kune chakatengeswa, kunyange vachiri vapenyu; nekuti zvakaonekwa pamusoro pavazhinji vose venyika hazvingadzoswi; hakuna angazvisimbisa nezvakaipa zviri pamugariro wake.

¹³For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

¹⁴Vakaridza hwamanda, vakagadzira zvose asi hakuna anoenda kundorwa; nekuti kutsamwa kwangu kuri pamusoro pavazhinji vose venyika.

¹⁴They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.

¹⁵Munondo uri kunze, hosha yakaipa nenzara zviri mukati; ari kusango achaurawa nomunondo; ari muguta achaparadzwa nenzara nehosha yakaipa.

¹⁵The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

¹⁶Asi vanopukunyuka pakati pavo vachapukunyuka; vachava pamakomo senjiva dzemipata, vachichema vose, mumwe nomumwe pamusoro pezvakaipa zvake.

¹⁶But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

¹⁷Maoko ose achashayiwa simba, mabvi ose achayerera mvura.

¹⁷All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

¹⁸Vachazvisunga zviuno namasaga, vachafukidzwa nokutya kukuru, kunyara kuchava pazviso zvose, nemhanza pamisoro yavo yose.

¹⁸They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

¹⁹Vacharasha sirivha yavo panzira dzomumusha, nendarama yavo ichava sechinhu chisina kunaka; sirivha yavo nendarama yavo hazvingagoni kuvarwira nezuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha; hazvingagutisi mweya yavo kana kuzadza vura bwavo, nekuti ndicho chaiva chigumbuso chezvakaipa zvavo.

¹⁹They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

²⁰Kana huri ukomba hwavo hwakanaka, vakaita manyawi nazvo; asi vakaita nazvo zvifananidzo zvezvinonyangadza zvavo nezvezvinosemesa zvavo; naizvozvo ndichachiita kwavari sechinhu chisina kunaka.

²⁰As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as an unclean thing.

²¹Ndichachiisa mumaoko avatorwa chive chinhu chakapambwa, ivo vachasvibiswa.

²¹I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.

²²Ndicharambawo kuvatarira nechiso changu, vachasvibisa fuma yangu; mbavha dzichapindamo, dzichiisvibisa.

²²My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

²³Itai ngetani, nekuti nyika izere ne mhaka dzeropa, guta rizere nokuita nesimba.

²³Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

²⁴Naizvozvo ndichauyisa marudzi akanyanya kuipa kwazvo, ivo vachatora dzimba dzavo; ndichagumisawo manyawi avane simba, nenzvimbo dzavo tsvene dzichasvibiswa.

²⁴Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

²⁵Njodzi inouya; vachatsvaka rugare, asi harungavipo.

²⁵Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

²⁶Njodzi ichateverwa nenjodzi, guhu richateverwa neguhu; vachandotsvaka kumuporofita zvaakaona, asi murayiro uchanyangarikira mupristi, namano achashaikwa kuvakuru.

²⁶Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

²⁷Mambo achachema, muchinda achafuka kuparadza, namaoko avanhu venyika achakanganiswa; ndichavaitira zvakafanira nzira dzavo, ndichavatonga sezvavakafanira; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

²⁷The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
