Isaya 15

¹Nokuti usiku Ari reMoabhi rakai twa dongo, rakaparadzwa; nokuti usiku Kiri reMoabhi rakaitwa dongo, rakaparadzwa.The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;

²Vakwira Bhayiti, neDhibhoni, kumatunhu akakwirira, kundochemapo; vaMoabhi vanochema pamusoro peNebho napaMedhebha; misoro yavo yose ine mhanza, ndebvu dzose dzakaveurwa.He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.

³Panzira dzomumisha yavo vakazvisunga namakudza, pamusoro pedzimba dzavo, napamadare avo, mumwe nomumwe anowungudza achichema zvikuru.In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

⁴Heshibhoni rinodanidzira, neEreari; inzwi ravo rinonzwika kusvikira paJahazi; saka varwi vaMoabhi vanodanidzira zvikuru; mweya wavo unodedera mukati mavo.And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.

⁵moyo wangu unodanidzira pamusoro paMoabhi; vakuru vavo vanotizira Zoari, neEgiratisherishiya; nokuti vanokwira mukwidzwa waRuhiti vachichema; nokuti panzira inoenda Horonaimi vanochema nokuchema kwokuparadzwa.My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

⁶Nokuti mvura yeNimirimi ichaparadzwa; nokuti uswa hwawoma, bumhudza rapera, hapachina chinomera chitema.For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

⁷Saka zvizhinji zvavakawana, nezvavakachengeta, vachayambuka nazvo parukova rwemikonachando.Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

⁸Nokuti kuchema kwapotereka kunyika yose yaMoabhi; kuungudza kwake kusvikira paEgiraimi, nokuungudza kwake kusvikira paBheerierimi.For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

⁹Nokuti mvura yeDhimoni izere neropa; nokuti ndichawedzera kurova Dhimoni, ndichatuma shumba iparadze vakapukunyuka vaMoabhi, navakasara panyika.For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
