Vane nhamo vanotema mitemo isina kururama, navanyori vanonyora zvisakarurama;Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
kuti vadzivise varombo pakururamisirwa, nokutorera varombo vavanhu vangu zvavanofanira kuva nazvo, kuti vapambe chirikadzi, vatorere nherera zvinhu zvavo.To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
Asi muchaiteiko pazuva rokutongwa, nerokuparadzwa kuchabva kure? Muchatizira kuna ani kundobatsirwa? fuma yenyu muchaivigepiko?And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Vachangokotama havo pakati pavasungwa, vachawira pasi pakati pavakaurawa. Kunyange zvakadaro, kutsamwa kwake hakuna kudzorwa, asi ruoko rwake rwakaramba rwakatambanudzwa nazvino.Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Nhaiwe Asiria, shamhu yokutsamwa kwangu, wakabata muruoko rwake tsvimbo yeshungu dzangu!O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
Ndichamutuma kundorwa norudzi runomhura Mwari, ndichamurayira kundorwa navanhu vandinotsamwira, kuti andotora zvakapambwa, andotora zvakatapwa, azvitsikire pasi sedope riri munzira dzomumusha.I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Asi iye haafungi kuita izvozvo, nomoyo wake haarangariri zvakadaro; asi iye anorangarira kuparadza nokupedza marudzi mazhinji.Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
Nokuti iye anoti, Ko machinda angu ose haazi madzimambo here?For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
Ko Karino harina kuitirwa zvakaitirwa Karikemishi here? NeHamati seAripadhi here? NeSamaria seDhamasiko here?Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
Ruoko rwangu sezvarwakasvikira ushe hwezvifananidzo, kunyange zvifananidzo zvavo zvakavezwa zvakanga zvichipfuura zvapaJerusaremu neSamaria,As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
handingaitiri Jerusaremu nezvifananidzo zvaro sezvandakaitira Samaria nezvifananidzo zvaro here?Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Saka zvino kana Ishe apedza basa rake rose pagomo reZiyoni napaJerusaremu, ndicharova zvibereko zvomoyo unozvikudza wamambo weAsiria, namanyawi okuzvikudza kwake.Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Nokuti akati, Ndakazviita nesimba roruoko rwangu, uye nouchenjeri hwangu, nokuti ndine njere; ndakabvisa miganho yavanhu, ndakapamba fuma yavo; semhare ndakawisira pasi vaigara pazvigaro zvoushe;For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
ruoko rwangu rwakawana fuma yamarudzi avanhu sedendere; ndakaunganidza nyika yose, somunhu anounganidza mazai akasiyiwa; hapana akapfakanyisa bapiro, kana kushamisa muromo, kana kurira.And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
Ko sanhu ringazvirumbidza pamusoro poanotema naro here? Kana jeko ringazvikudza pamusoro paanobata naro here? Zvaifanana netsvimbo inozunungusa vanorova nayo, kana mudonzvo unosimudza chinhu chisati chiri huni.Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
Naizvozvo Ishe, Ishe wehondo, achatuma kuonda pakati pavakakora vake; pasi pokubwinya kwake pachabatidzwa chinopisa chakafanana nokupisa kwomoto.Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
Chiedza chavaIsiraeri chichava moto, noMutsvene wake murazvo womoto; uchapisa nokupedza minzwa yake norukato rwake nezuva rimwe.And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
Uchapedza kubwinya kwedondo rake, nokwomunda wake wakaorera, mweya nomuviri kamwe, zvifanane nendonda inongoramba ichipera simba.And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
Miti yakasara yedondo rake ichava mishoma, inganyorwa nomwana.And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
Zvino nezuva iro vakasara vaIsiraeri, navanenge vapukunyuka paimba yaJakobho, havangazosendamiri kunoakavarova, asi vachasendamira kuna Jehovha, Mutsvene waIsiraeri, nezvokwadi.And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Vakasara vachadzoka, ivo vakasara vaJakobho, kuna Mwari ane simba.The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
Nokuti kunyange vanhu venyu, imi Isiraeri, vakaita sejecha regungwa, vakasara vavo voga vachadzoka; nokuti vakatemerwa kuparadzwa kuzere nokururama.For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Nokuti Ishe, Jehovha wehondo, achapedzisa kuparadza, kwakagara kwatemwa, panyika yose.For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Saka zvanzi nashe, Jehovha wehondo, Imi vanhu vangu vagere Ziyoni, musatya muAsiria, kunyange akakurovai neshamhu nokukusimudzirai tsvimbo yake, sezvaakaitira Ijipiti.Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Nokuti kwasara chinguva chiduku, kutsamwa kwangu kuchapera, hasha dzangu dzichavaparadza.For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
Jehovha wehondo achamusimudzira tyava, sapakurohwa kwavaMidhiani padombo reOrebhi; shamhu yake ichava pamusoro pegungwa, achaisimudza sezvaakaitira Ijipiti.And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Zvino nezuva iro mutoro wake uchabviswa pamafudzi ako, nejoko rake pamutsipa wako, joko richaparadzwa nokuda kwamafuta.And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Asvika paAiati, apfuura napaMigironi, achengeta nhumbi dzake paMikimashi;He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
vakwira napamupata, vakavata paGebha usiku; Rama rinodedera, Gibhiya raSauro ratiza.They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
Danidzira nenzwi rako, iwe mukunda weGarimi ! Teerera, iwe Raishi! Iwe Anatoti wourombo!Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Madhimena wotiza, vagere Ghebhimi vorongedza kutiza.Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Zuva ranhasi achazorota paNobhi; anozunungusira gomo romukunda weZiyoni, icho chikomo cheJerusaremu, ruoko rwake.As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Tarirai, Ishe, Jehovha wehondo, achatema mashizha nokutyisa; akareba achatemwa, naakakwirira achawiswa pasi.Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
Achatema nedare matenhere edondo, Rebhanoni richawiswa neane simba.And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
