¹Ndichandomira panzvimbo yangu yokurindira, ndichazviisa panharirire yangu, ndichatarira ndione zvaachataura neni, uye zvandingapindura pamusoro pokuchema kwangu.

¹I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

²Jehovha akandipindura, akati, Nyora zvawaratidzwa, zvionekwe kwazvo pamabwendefa, kuti zvigone kurahwa nowanomhanya.

²Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.

³nekuti zvakaratidzwa izvi ndezvenguva yakatarwa, zvovavarira kuguma, hazvingarevi nhema; kunyange zvikanonoka, uzvimirire, nekuti zvichauya zvirokwazvo, hazvingaiti nguva huru.

³For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

⁴Tarirai, mweya wavo una manyawi, hauna kururama mukati mavo; asi akarurama achararama nokutenda kwake.

⁴Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

⁵Hongu uyezve unonyengera newaini, murume anozvikudza, asingagari kumba kwake, akashamisa kukara kwake seSheori, akafanana norufu; haangaguti, asi anozviunganidzira marudzi ose, unozvikokerera marudzi ose avanhu.

⁵Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

⁶Ko ava vose havangaimbi rwiyo pamusoro pake, nokumudadira nechirabwe, vachiti, Ane nhamo anowanza zvisati zviri zvake! Kusvikira riniko? Uye anozviremedza nezvikwereti!

⁶Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’

⁷Vachakurumai havangasimuki pakarepo, vanokumanikidzai havangamuki here, imwi mukapambwa navo?

⁷Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?

⁸imwi zvamakapamba marudzi mazhinji, vose vakasara vamarudzi avanhu vachakupambai nemhaka yeropa ravanhu, uye nemhaka yokuti makaitira nyika simba, neguta navose vageremo.

⁸Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.

⁹Ane nhamo unozviwanira imba yake fuma yakaipa, kuti aise dendere rake kwakakwirira, kuti arwirwe paruoko rwezvakaipa!

⁹Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

¹⁰Makaranganira imba yenyu zvinonyadza, zvamakaparadza marudzi mazhinji avanhu, mukatadzira mweya wenyu.

¹⁰You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.

¹¹nekuti ibwe richadanidzira riri parusvingo, danda riri mudenga richapindura.

¹¹For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.

¹²Ane nhamo anovaka musha neropa, anovamba guta nezvakaipa!

¹²Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

¹³Tarirai, hazvina kubva kuna Jehovha wehondo here kuti vanhu vabatire moto, uye kuti marudzi avanhu azvinetse nokuda kwezvisina maturo?

¹³Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

¹⁴nekuti nyika yose ichazadzwa nokuziva kubwinya kwaJehovha, mvura sezvainofukidza pasi pegungwa.

¹⁴For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁵Ane nhamo anopa wokwake zvinobata azvimwe, anovhenganisiramo uturu bwenyu, muchimudhakisawo, kuti muone kushama kwavo !

¹⁵“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!

¹⁶Mazvigutisa nezvinonyadzisa panzvimbo yezvinokudzwa; chimwai nemiwo, muve seasina kudzingiswa; mukombe worudyi rwaJehovha uchasvikira kwamuri, zvinonyadzisa zvakaipa zvichauya pamusoro pokukudzwa kwenyu.

¹⁶You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

¹⁷nekuti zvakaipa zvakaitirwa Rebhanoni zvichakufukidzai imi, uye kuparadzwa kwezvipfuwo kwakazvityisa; nemhaka yeropa ravanhu, nemhaka yezvakaipa zvakaitirwa nyika, neguta, navose vageremo.

¹⁷For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.

¹⁸Mufananidzo wakavezwa unobatsireiko, zvawavezwa nomuvezi wawo; kana mufananidzo wakaumbwa, iwo mudzidzisi wenhema, iye wakauumba zvaanovimba nawo, zvaakaita zvifananidzo zvisingagoni kutaura?

¹⁸“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

¹⁹Ane nhamo anoti kudanda, Pepuka! Nokuti kubwe risingatauri. Muka! Iro richadzidzisa? Tarirai, zvakanamirwa nendarama nesirivha, asi hakuna mweya mukati mazvo napaduku.

¹⁹Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.

²⁰Asi Jehovha ari mutemberi yake tsvene, nyika yose ngairambe inyerere pamberi pake.

²⁰But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
