1Pamusoro paMoabhu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Nebho rine nhamo, nekuti raparadzwa; Kiriataimu ranyadziswa, rakundwa; Mishigabhi ranyadziswa, ravhunduswa.
1Of Moab. Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2Mbiri yaMoabhu haichipo; paHeshibhoni vakarangana zvakaipa pamusoro pavo, vachiti, Uyai, tivaparadze, varege kuzova rudzi. Newewo Madhimeni, uchanyaradzwa, munondo uchakutevera.
2The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
3Inzwai inzwi rokuchema rinobva Horonaimi, Kuparadzwa nokukoromorwa kukuru!
3The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4Moabhu vaparadzwa; vanana vavo vakanzwika vachichema.
4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5nekuti vachakwira nomukwidzwa weRuhiti vachingochema; nekuti pamatenusirwa eHoronaimi vakanzwa njodzi yokuchema kokuparadzwa.
5For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6Tizai, muponese mweya yenyu, mufanane negwenzi murenje.
6Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7nekuti zvamakavimba namabasa enyu nefuma yenyu, muchakundwawo; Kemoshi vachaenda kwavanotapwa, vapristi vavo namachinda avo pamwechete.
7For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8Muparadzi uchawira guta rimwe nerimwe, hakuna guta richapukunyuka; mupata uchapararawo, nebani richaparadzwa, sezvakataura Jehovha.
8The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.
9Ipai Moabhu mapapiro, vabhururuke, vaende; maguta avo achava matongo, anoshaiwa unogaramo.
9Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
10Ngaatukwe unobate basa raJehovha asina hanya naro; ngaatukwe unodzora munondo wake paropa.
10Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11Moabhu vakanga vane zororo kubva pahuduku hwavo, vakagara pamasese avo, havana kudururwa vachibviswa mumudziyo, uye havana kutapwa; naizvozvo kuzipa kwavo kwakarambira mukati mavo, nokunhuhwira kwavo hakuna kushanduka.
11Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12Naizvozvo tarirai, mazuva anouya ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha andichatuma kwavari vanomimina; ivo vachavamimina, vachadurura midziyo yavo chose, nokuputsanya hari dzavo.
12Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13Moabhu vachanyara pamusoro peKemoshi, sezvakanyadziswa imba yaIsiraeri pamusoro peBhetieri, ravaivimba naro.
13Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14Munotaura seiko, muchiti, Tiri mhare, vanhu vakatsunga pakurwa?
14How do you say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
15Moabhu vaparadzwa, vakwira mumaguta avo, majaya avo akasanangurwa akaburuka kundourawa ndizvo zvinotaura Mambo, une zita rinonzi Jehovha wehondo.
15Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
16Njodzi yaMoabhu yava pedo yodokuuya, nhamo yavo yokurumidza kuuya.
16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17Vachemei, imwi mose makavapoteredza, imwi mose munoziva zita ravo; muti, Haiwa, tsvimbo yakasimba, iwo mudonzvo wakanaka, zvavhunika sei!
17All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
18Iwe mukunda unogara Dhibhoni, buruka pakukudzwa kwako, ugare pane nyota, nekuti muparadzi waMoabhu wauya kuzorwa newe, waparadza nhare dzako.
18You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
19Iwe unogara Aroeri, mira panzira utarire; bvunza unotiza nounopukunyuka, uti, Chinyiko chaitwa?
19Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done?
20Moabhu vakanyadziswa, nekuti vakakoromorwa. Wungudzai mucheme, muzviparidzire paArinoni kuti VaMoabhu vaparadzwa.
20Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21Zvirokwazvo, kutongwa kwasvika panyika yamapani, paHoroni, napaJaza, napaMefaati,
21Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22napaDhibhoni, napaNebho, napaBhetidhibhirataimu,
22and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
23napaKiriataimu, napaBhetigamuri, napaBhetimeoni,
23and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
24napaKerioti, napaBhozira, napamaguta ose enyika yavaMoabhu, kure kana pedo.
24and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25Runyanga rwaMoabhu rwagurwa, ruoko rwavo rwavhuniwa ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Yahweh.
26Muvape doro vabatwe, nekuti vakaita manyawi pamberi paJehovha; VaMoabhu vachawumburuka mumarutsi avo, vachasekwawo.
26Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27nekuti VaIsiraeri havana kusekwa nemwi here? Vakawanikwa pakati pamakororo here? nekuti nguva dzose kana muchimureva iye munodzungudza misoro yenyu.
27For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28Imi mugere panyika yaMoabhu, ibvai mumaguta, mugare mudombo, muve senjiva inovaka dendere rayo pamativi amawere.
28You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29Takanzwa kuzvikudza kwaVaMoabhu, kuti vanozvikudza kwazvo; nokuzvirumbidza kwavo, namanyawi omoyo wavo.
29We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30Ndinoziva hasha dzavo, kuti hadzina maturo ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; kuzvirumbidza kwavo hazvina kuita chinhu.
30I know his wrath, says Yahweh, that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
31Naizvozvo ndichawungudza pamusoro paMoabhu, zvirokwazvo ndichadanidzira pamusoro pavaMoabhu vose; vachachema vanhu veKiriheresi.
31Therefore will I wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir Heres shall they mourn.
32Ndichakuchemera, iwe muzambiringa weSibhima, nokuchema kunopfuura kuchema kwaJazeri; matavi ako akadarika gungwa, akandosvika pagungwa raJazeri; muparadzi wawira zvibereko zvako zvezhezha namazambiringa ako.
32With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
33Mufaro nokufara zvabviswa pamunda wakange uchibereka zvakanaka napanyika yaMoabhu; ndakagumisa waini pazvisviniro, hakuna vachatsika vachipururudza, kupururudza hakungavi kupururudza.
33Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
34Kubva pakuchema kweHeshibhoni kusvikira Ereare, nokusvikira Jahazi, vakanzwisa inzwi ravo, kubva Zoari kusvikira Horonaimi neEgiratisherishiya; nekuti nemvura zhinji yeNimirimi ichaparadzwa.
34From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
35Ndichagumisawo pakati paMoabhu ani naani unobayira panzvimbo dzakakwirira, naiye unopisira vamwari vake zvinonhuhwira ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
35Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Yahweh, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36Naizvozvo moyo wangu unorira pamusoro paMoabhu senyere, nomoyo wangu unorira senyere pamusoro pavanhu veKiriheresi; naizvozvo zvakawanda zvaakazviwanira zvapera.
36Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
37nekuti misoro yose yava nemhazha, nendebvu dzose dzaveurwa; maoko ose atemwa, nezviuno zvose zvinamasaga.
37For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
38Pamatenga edzimba dzaMoabhu, napanzira dzomumisha yavo kuwungudza kuripo pose; nekuti ndaputsa Moabhu somudziyo usingafadzi munhu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
38On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights, says Yahweh.
39Vakoromorwa sei! Vanowungudza sei! Moabhu vakafuratira sei nokunyadziswa! Saizvozvo Moabhu vachava chinhu chinosekwa nechinotyisa pakati pavose vanovapoteredza.
39How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.
40nekuti zvanzi naJehovha, Tarirai, uchabhururuka segondo, uchatambanudzira mapapiro ake kuzorwa naMoabhu.
40For thus says Yahweh: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41Maguta akundwa, nhare dzakundwa, nezuva iro moyo yemhare dzaMoabhu ichaita somoyo womukadzi pakurwadziwa kwake.
41Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42Moabhu vachaparadzwa, varege kuva rudzi rwavanhu, nekuti vakazvikudza pamberi paJehovha.
42Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.
43Kutya nehunza nomusungo zvasvika kwauri, iwe ugere panyika yaMoabhu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
43Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Yahweh.
44Unotiza chinotyisa uchawira muhuzha; unokwira achibuda muhunza uchabatwa nomusungo, nekuti ndichauyisa pamusoro pavo, ipo pamusoro paMoabhu, gore rokurohwa kwavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
44He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.
45Vakatiza vamire pamumvuri weHeshibhoni vasina simba, nekuti moto wabuda paHeshibhoni, nomurazvo pakati paSihoni, waparadza mativi aMoabhu nemisoro yavanoda kurwa.
45Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46Vurombo kwamuri, imwi Moabhu! Vanhu veKemoshi vapera; nekuti vanakomana venyu vatapwa, navakunda venyu vaiswa kukutapwa.
46Woe to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47Asi namazuva okupedzisira ndichadzosa kutapwa kwaMoabhu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Ndipo panosvika kutongwa kwaMoabhu.
47Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
