1Tumirai mubati wenyika makwayana, abve Sera aende kurenje, kugomo romukunda weZiyoni.
1Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2nekuti seshiri dzinodzungaira, sedendere rakaparadzirwa, ndizvo zvichaita vakunda vaMoabhi pamazambuko aArinoni.
2For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
3Itai mano, ruramisira; mumvuri wako uuite sousiku pakati pamasikati makuru; vanza vadzingwa, usapandukira anotiza.
3Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!
4Vanhu vangu vakadzingwa ngavagare newe; kana ari Moabhi, uve kwaari paangavanda pamberi pomuparadzi; nekuti mutambudzi haachipo, kuparadza kwapera, vamanikidzi vabva panyika.
4Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5Chigaro choushe chichamiswa netsitsi; mumwe uchagara pamusoro pacho nechokwadi, mutende raDhavhidhi, achitonga, achitsvaka kururamisira vanhu, achikurumidza kuita zvakarurama.
5A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
6Takanzwa zvokuzvikudza kwaMoabhi, kuti unozvikudza kwazvo; zvamanyawi ake, nokuzvikudza kwake, nehasha dzake; asi kuzvirumbidza kwake hakuna maturo.
6We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
7Saka Moabhi achachema Moabhi, mumwe nomumwe achachema; muchachemera mapundu amazambiringa eKirihareseti, mamanikidzwa kwazvo.
7Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
8nekuti minda yeHeshibhoni yaoma, nomuzambiringa weSibhima; madzishe amarudzi avhuna matavi awo akanaka, akanga achisvikira Jazeri, akanga atandira kurenje; matavi awo akanga atandavara, ayambukira gungwa.
8For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
9Saka ndichachema nokuchema kwaJazeri ndichichemera muzambiringa weSibhima; ndichakudiridza iwe Heshibhoni neEreare nemisodzi yangu; nekuti mhere yokurwa yawira pamusoro pezvibereko zvako zvezhizha napamusoro pokukohwa kwako.
9Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
10Mufaro wabviswa, nokufara pamunda waibereka zvakanaka; paminda yemizambiringa hapachazovi nokuimba kana inzwi romufaro; hapachazovi musviniri anosvinira mazambiringa pazvisviniro, ndagumisa kupururudza.
10Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
11Naizvozvo moyo wangu unorira sembira pamusoro paMoabhi, nedumbu rangu pamusoro peKiriheresi.
11Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
12Zvino kana Moabhi achizviratidza pamberi paJehovha, kana achizvinetsa padunhu rakakwirira, nokupinda panzvimbo yake tsvene kuzonyengetera, haangatongobatsirwi chinhu.
12It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
13Ndirori shoko rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro paMoabhi panguva yakare.
13This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab in time past.
14Asi zvino Jehovha akataura achiti, Makore matatu asati apfuura, samakore omunhu anobatira mubayiro, kukudzwa kwaMoabhi kuchazvidzwa, pamwechete navanhu vake vazhinji; vakasara vachava vashoma kwazvo, vasina simba.
14But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
