¹Arieri, Arieri, une nhamo, iwe guta maidzika Dhavhidhi matende ake! Wedzerai gore pagore, nguva dzemitambo ngadzisvike;

¹Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

²ipapo ndichamanikidza Arieri, kuchema nokuungudza zvichavapo; richava kwandiri seArieri.

²then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth or, Ariel .

³Ndichakukomba panhivi dzose, ndichakukomba navarwi vanorindira, ndichavaka masvingo okurwa newe.

³I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

⁴Uchawiswa pasi, uchataura uri pasi muvhu; kutaura kwako kuchabva pasi muguruva; inzwi rako richava seresvikiro rinobva pasi muvhu, kutaura kwako kuchaita zevezeve kuchibva muguruva.

⁴You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.

⁵Asi vavengi vako vazhinji vachava seguruva rakatsetseka, navanotyisa sehundi inopepereka; zvirokwazvo zvichaitwa kamwe-kamwe, pakarepo.

⁵But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

⁶Uchashanyirwa naJehovha wehondo nokutinhira, nokudengenyeka kwenyika, nomubvumo mukuru, nechamupupuri, nedutu guru, nomurazvo womoto unopedza zvose.

⁶She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.

⁷Kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa neArieri, ivo vose vanorwa naro nenhare yaro, vachaita sezvinorotwa, sezvinoonekwa usiku.

⁷The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

⁸Zvichafanana nokurota komunhu ane nzara, achiti ndinodya; asi anopepuka, ndokuwana mweya wake usine chinhu; kana sokurota komunhu ane nyota, achiti ndinomwa; asi anopepuka, wanei aziya, mweya wake unopanga mvura; ndizvo zvichaita kuwanda kwamarudzi ose anorwa negomo reZiyoni.

⁸It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

⁹Mirai mushame! Zvipofumadzei, muve mapofu! Vakabatwa, asi havana kubatwa newaini, vanodzedzereka, asi havadzedzereki nezvinobata.

⁹Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

¹⁰nekuti Jehovha wakadurura pamusoro penyu mweya wokubatwa nehope kwazvo, akafumbira meso enyu, vaporofita; nemisoro yenyu, vaoni, wakavafukidza.

¹⁰For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.

¹¹Kuona kose kwava kwamuri samashoko orugwaro rwakanamirwa, runopiwa munhu anogona kurava zvichinzi,Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handigoni, nekuti rwakanamirwa;

¹¹All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed:”

¹²zvino rugwaro runopiwa usina kudzidza, zvichinzi, Dorava hako izvozvi; iye ndokuti, Handina kudzidza.

¹²and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t read.”

¹³Ishe akati, Ava vanhu zvavanoswedera kwandiri, vachindikudza nomuromo wavo uye nemiromo yavo, asi moyo yavo vakaiisa kure neni, nokunditya kwavo zvawava murayiro wavanhu wavakadzidziswa;

¹³The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

¹⁴naizvozvo tarirai, ndichapfuura ndichiita pakati pavanhu ava basa rinoshamisa, basa rinoshamisa nechishamiso; uchenjeri hwevakachenjera vavo huchapera, nenjere dzavanhu vavo vakangwara dzichavanzwa.

¹⁴therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”

¹⁵Vane nhamo vanotsvaka kuvanzira Jehovha mano avo pakadzika, mabasa avo ari murima, vachiti, Ndiani anotiona, ndiani anotiziva?

¹⁵Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”

¹⁶Haiwa, kutadza kwenyu! Ko muumbi wehari akaenzana nevhu here, kuti chakaitwa chiti pamusoro pomuiti wacho, Iye haana kundiita; kana chakaumbwa chiti pamusoro pomuumbi wacho, Iye haana njere?

¹⁶You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”

¹⁷Ko hakuna kusara chinguva chidukuduku here, Rebhanoni richashandurwa rive munda unobereka zvakanaka, nomunda unobereka zvakanaka uchanzi idondo?

¹⁷Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

¹⁸Zvino nezuva iro vamatsi vachanzwa mashoko orugwaro, meso amapofu achaona ari pakasviba napanerima.

¹⁸In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

¹⁹Vanyoro vachawedzerawo mufaro wavo muna Jehovha, varombo pakati pavanhu vachafara kwazvo muMutsvene waIsiraeri.

¹⁹The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰nekuti anotyisa aparadzwa, mudadi aguma, navose vanogarira zvakaipa vabviswa;

²⁰For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

²¹ivo vanopomera munhu mhaka nokuda kweshoko, vanoteyira munhu musungo, anoraira vamwe pasuwo, vanoramba kururamisira wakarurama nemhaka dzamano-mano.

²¹who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

²²Saka zvanzi naJehovha, akadzikunura Abhurahamu, pamusoro peimba yaJakove, Jakove haanganyadziswi zvino, chiso chake zvino hachingacheneruki.

²²Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

²³Asi kana achiona vana vake, iro basa ramaoko angu, pakati pake, vachati zita rangu idzvene; zvirokwazvo, vachati Mutsvene waJakove mutsvene, vachatya Mwari waIsiraeri.

²³But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

²⁴Vakarasika pamweyawo vachava nenjere, vanonyunyuta vachadzidziswa.

²⁴They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
