Buruka, ugare muguruva, iwe mhandara, mukunda weBhabhironi; gara pasi pasine chigaro choushe, iwe mukunda wavaKaradhea; nokuti hauchazonzi unoundere nechidikanwa.Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
Tora guyo nehuyo ukuye upfu; bvisa chifukidziro chechiso chako, kurura rokwe rako, fukura gumbo rako, yambuka nzizi.Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Kusafuka kwako kuchava pachena, kunyadzwa kwako kuchaonekwa; ndichazvitsiva, ndisingarangariri munhu.Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
Mudzikunuri wedu, zita rake rinonzi Jehovha wehondo, Mutsvene walsiraeri.As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Gara unyerere, upinde murima, iwe mukunda wavaKaradhea; nokuti hauchazonzi Vahosi hwovushe huzhinji.Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Ndakanga ndakatsamwira vanhu vangu, ndakamhura nhaka yangu, ndikavaisa mumaoko ako; iwe hauna kuvanzwira tsitsi, wakaisa joko rako rinorema kwazvo pamusoro pavatana.I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Ukati, Ndichava vahosi nokusingaperi; naizvozvo hauna kuisa zvinhu izvi muhana yako, hauna kurangarira kuguma kwazvo.And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Naizvozvo zvino chinzwa chinhu ichi, iwe unozvinofadza, ugere zvakasimba, unoti mumoyo mako Ndini ndoga, hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu; handingagari ndiri chirikadzi, handingazivi kufirwa navana.Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Asi zvinhu izvi zviviri zvichakuwira nechinguva chiduku, nezuva rimwechete, kufirwa navana, nouchirikadzi; zvichakuwira nechiyero chizere, pakati paun’anga hwako huzhinji, nouroyi hwako hwakawanda.But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Nokuti wakavimba nezvakaipa zvako; wakati, Hakuna anondiona; wakakanganiswa nouchenjeri hwako nezivo yako, ukati mumoyo mako, Ndini ndoga, hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu.For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Nezvakaipa zvichakuwira, zvausingazivi kuvamba kwazvo; uchawirwa nenjodzi, yausingagoni kubvisa; kuparadzwa kuchakuwira pakarepo, kwausingazivi.Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put if off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Zvino uya nouroyi hwako noun’anga hwako huzhinji, hwawakabata nahwo kubva pauduku hwako, zvimwe ungabatsirwa, zvimwe ungava nepundutso.Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Waneta nokuwanda kwamano ako; zvino, vanodudzira zvokudenga, navanocherekedza nyeredzi, navanofembera zvomwedzi mumwe nomumwe ngavasimuke, vakuponese pazvinhu zvichakuwira.Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Tarira, vachaita samashanga, vachapiswa nomoto, havangagoni kuzvirwira pasimba romurazvo; haungavi zimbe rokudziya, kana moto wokudziya.Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Ndizvo zvichaita zvose zvawakabatira; vakashambadzirana newe kubva pauduku hwako, vachadzungaira mumwe nomumwe nenzira yake; pachashaikwa anokuponesa.Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
