¹The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

²Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—

²Mwanakomana womunhu, iti kumuchinda weTire, zvanzi nalshe Jehovha, moyo wako zvawakazvikudza, iwe ukati, Ini ndiri mwari, ndigere pachigaro chaMwari pakati pamakungwa, kunyange zvakadaro, uri munhu hako, hausi Mwari, kunyange wakamisa moyo wako somoyo waMwari;

³behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;

³tarira, unokunda Dhanyeri pakuchenjera kwako, hakuna chakavanzika chausingazivi iwe;

⁴by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;

⁴wakazviwanira fuma nohuchenjeri hwako uye nokuziva kwako, ukazviwanira ndarama nesirivha muzvivigiro zvefuma yako;

⁵by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—

⁵wakawedzera fuma yako nohuchenjeri hwako hukuru uye nokushambadzira kwako, moyo wako ukazvikudza nokuda kwefuma yako;

⁶therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

⁶naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Zvawakamisa moyo wako somoyo waMwari,

⁷therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.

⁷naizvozvo tarira, ndinouyisa vatorwa pamusoro pako, ivo vanotyisa pakati pamarudzi ose; vachavhomorera kunaka kohuchenjeri hwako minondo yavo, vachasvibisa kubwinya kwako.

⁸They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

⁸Vachakuburusira kugomba; uchafa nendufu dzavanourawa mumoyo wamakungwa.

⁹Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am God? but you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

⁹Ko ungazoreva pamberi pounokuuraya, uchiti, Ndini Mwari? Asi uri munhu, hausi Mwari, muruoko rwaiye unokukuvadza.

¹⁰You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁰Uchafa norufu rwousina kudzingiswa namaoko avatorwa, nekuti ndini ndakataura izvozvo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹¹Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹²Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

¹²Mwanakomana womunhu, itira mambo weTire mariro, uti kwaari, zvanzi nalshe Jehovha, Iwe wokuisa chisimbiso chako pachiyero, uzere nohuchenjeri, hwakakwana pakunaka.

¹³You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire or, lapis lazuli , turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.

¹³wakange uri paEdheni, mumunda waMwari; wakange wakafukidzwa namabwe anokosha amarudzi ose, anoti, saridhio netopasi nedhaimani nebheriri, neonikisi nejasipiri nesafiri nesimaragidhino nekaribhunikuri; ngoma dzako nenyere dzako dzakanga dzakaitwa nendarama mukati mako, zvakagadzirwa nezuva rokusikwa kwako.

¹⁴You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁴Iwe wakange uri kerubhi rakazodzwa, raifukidzira areka, ndikakugadza ukava pamusoro pegomo dzvene raMwari; waifamba-famba pakati pamabwe omoto.

¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

¹⁵wakange wakakwana panzira dzako kubva pazuva rokusikwa kwako, kusvikira kusarurama kwakawanikwa mukati mako.

¹⁶By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁶Nokuwanda kokushambadzira kwako vakazadza mukati mako nokuita nesimba, ukatadza; naizvozvo ndakakudzinga pagomo raMwari ndichiti uri chinhu chinomhurwa, ndikakuparadza, iwe kerubhi raifukidzira areka, ndikakubvisa pakati pamabwe omoto.

¹⁷Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

¹⁷moyo wako wakazvikudza nokuda kokunaka kwako; wakaodza huchenjeri hwako nokuda kokubwinya kwako; ndakakuwisira pasi, ndakakuisa pamberi pamadzimambo kuti vakuone.

¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

¹⁸Nokuwanda kwezvakaipa zvako, nokusarurama kokushambadzira kwako, wakamhura nzvimbo dzako tsvene; naizvozvo ndakabudisa moto mukati mako; wakakupedza, ndikakushandura ukava madota panyika pamberi pavose vanokuona.

¹⁹All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.

¹⁹Vose, vanokuziva pakati pamarudzi avanhu, vachashamiswa pamusoro pako; wava chinhu chinotyisa, haungazovi chinhu nokusingaperi.

²⁰The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²⁰Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri richiti,

²¹Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,

²¹Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako kurutivi rweSidhoni, uporofite pamusoro paro,

²²and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

²²uti, zvanzi nashe Jehovha, Tarira, ndine mhaka newe, iwe Sidhoni; ndichakudzwa mukati mako; vanhu vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, nenguva yandinoita mukati maro izvo zvandakatonga, ndichiitwa mutsvene mukati maro.

²³For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

²³nekuti ndichatuma hosha yakaipa mukati maro, neropa munzira dzaro; vakakuvadzwa vachawira pasi mukati maro, kana munondo uchiuya pamusoro paro kumativi ose; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

²⁴There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

²⁴Hapachazovi norukato runorwadza imba yaIsiraeri, kana munzwa unokuvadza pakati pavaivakomberedza, vaivashoora; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.

²⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

²⁵Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Nenguva yandinenge ndaunganidza imba yaIsiraeri kumarudzi avanhu kwavakanga vakaparadzirwa, ndikaitwa mutsvene pakati pamberi pamarudzi, nenguva iyo vachagara munyika yavo yandakapa muranda wangu Jakove.

²⁶They shall dwell securely therein; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh their God.

²⁶Vachagaramo vakachengetwa; zvirokwazvo, vachavaka dzimba, nokusima minda yemizambiringa, vachagara vakachengetwa, kana ndaita zvandakatonga pamusoro pavose vakavapoteredza vanovashora; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo.
