Jeremia 49

¹Pamusoro pavana vaAmoni. Zvanzi naJehovha, Ko VaIsiraeri havana vanakomana here? Havana vagari venhaka here? Ko Marikami wagarireiko nhaka yaGadhi, vanhu vake vanogarirei mumaguta ake?Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

²Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha, `Tarirai, mazuva anosvika, andichanzwisa vanhu mhere yokurwa neRabha ravana vaAmoni; richaitwa murwi wamatongo; ipapo vaIsiraeri vachadya nhaka yavakambodya nhaka yavo.'Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

³Wungudza iwe Heshibhoni, nokuti Ai raparadzwa, chemai imi vakunda vaRebha, zvisungei zviuno namasaga, wungudzai, mumhanye kwose kwose pakati pezhowa, nokuti Marikami uchatapwa, iye navapirisiti namachinda ake pamwechete.Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.

⁴Unozvirumbidzireiko pamusoro pamipata, pamusoro pomupata wako unoyerera, iwe mukunda wokudzokera shure, iwe wokuvimba nefuma yako, uchiti, `Ndianiko ungarwa neni?'Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

⁵Tarira, ndichauyisa pamusoro pako kutya vose vanokupoteredza, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, Jehovha wehondo; muchachingwa mumwe nomumwe ipo paakatarira, hakuna ungazounganidza vanodzungaira.Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

⁶Asi pashure ndichadzosa kutapwa kwavana vaAmoni, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.

⁷Pamusoro paEdhomu. Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Ko paTemani hapachina huchenjeri here? Mano arova kuna vakangwara here? Huchenjeri hwavo hwanyangarika here?Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

⁸Tizai, mudzoke, garai makadzika, imi mugere paDhedhani; nokuti ndichauyisa njodzi yaEsau pamusoro pake nenguva yandichamurova nayo.Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.

⁹Kana vakohwi vemizambiringa vakasvika kwauri, havangasiyi mamwe mazambiringa angazokohiwa here? Kana mbavha dzikasvika vusiku havangaparadzi kusvikira varinganwa here?If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

¹⁰Ndakafukura Esau, ndazarura nzvimbo dzake dzakavanda, haangagoni kuvanda; vana vake vaparadzwa, nehama dzake nowokwake; iye haachipo.But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

¹¹Siya nherera dzako, ini ndichadziraramisa, chirikadzi dzako ngadzivimbe neni.Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

¹²Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, `Tarirai, vakanga vasina kufanira kunwa pamukombe, vachanwa zvirokwazvo; ko zvino iwe ndiwe ucharegwa chose usingarohwi here? Haungaregwi usingarohwi, asi uchanwa zvirokwazvo.'For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.

¹³Nokuti ndakapika neni ndimene, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha kuti Bhozira richaitwa chishamiso nechinoshoorwa, nedongo rechinotukwa; maguta aro ose achava matongo nokusingaperi.For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

¹⁴Ndakanzwa mashoko anobva kuna Jehovha, nhume yakatumwa pakati pamarudzi, ichiti, Unganai, muuye kuzorwa naro, musimukire kurwa.I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

¹⁵Nokuti tarirai, ndakakuita muduku pakati pamarudzi, nounozvidzwa pakati pavanhu.For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.

¹⁶Kana kuri kutyisa kwako, kuzvikudza kwomoyo wako kwakakunyengera, iwe ugere mumikaha yedombo, unozvisimbisa pakakwirira pazvikomo; kunyange ukavaka dendere rako pakakwirira segondo, ndichakubvisapo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Edhomu vachaitwa chishamiso, mumwe nomumwe unopfuura napo uchashamiswa, ucharidza muridzo pamusoro pamatambudziko avo ose.Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

¹⁸Sapakutsindikirwa kweSodhoma neGomora namamwe maguta akanga ari pedo hakuna munhu uchagar amo , hakuna Mwanakomana womunhu uchavamo ari mutorwa.As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

¹⁹Tarirai, uchauya seshumba achibva mumatenhere aJorodhani kuzorwa nohugaro hwakasimba; nokuti ndichavatizisapo pakarepo; wakatsaurwa ndiye wandichagadzapo; nokuti ndiani wakafanana neni? Ndiani uchanditarira nguva? Mufudzi ungamira pamberi pangu ndiani?Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

²⁰Naizvozvo chinzwai chirevo chaJehovha chaakatema pamusoro paEdhomu, nemifungo yake yaakafunga pamusoro pavagere paTemani. Zvirokwazvo vachavakwekweredza, ivo vaduku vamapoka avo; zvirokwazvo mafuro avo achashamiswa pamusoro pavo.Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

²¹Nyika inodedera nokuda kwomubvumo wokuwira kwavo pasi; kuchema kuripo kunonzwika kusvikira kuGungwa Dzvuku.The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

²²Tarirai, uchakwira achibhururuka segondo, uchatambanudzira mapapiro ake kuzorwa neBhozira, nezuva iro moyo yemhare dzaEdhomu ichaita somoyo womukadzi pakurwadziwa kwake.Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

²³Pamusoro peDhamasiko. Hamati ranyadziswa, neAripadhi, nokuti akanzwa mashoko akaipa, akanyauka; kutambudzika kuripo pagungwa, harigoni kuzorora.Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

²⁴Dhamasiko rapera simba, rakatendeukira kutiza, rakabatwa nokudedera; rakabatwa nokurwadziwa nokuchema somukadzi unosurumuka.Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

²⁵Haiwa, guta rairumbidzwa rakasiyiwa sei, iro guta romufaro wangu?How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

²⁶Naizvozvo majaya aro achawira pasi munzira dzaro, varwi vose vachanyarara nezuva iro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

²⁷Ndichabatidza moto murusvingo rweDhamasiko, uchaparadza dzimba dzoushe dzaBhenihadhadhi.And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.

²⁸Pamusoro paKedhari napamusoro poushe hweHazori hwakakundwa naNebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi. Zvanzi naJehovha, Simukai, muende kuna Kedhari, mundoparadza vanhu vokumabvazuva.Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

²⁹Vachatora matende avo namapoka avo amakwai, vachazvitorera micheka yavo inoremberedzwa, nemidziyo yavo yose, namakamera avo vachienda nazvo; vachadanidzira kwavari, vachiti, `Zvinotyisa zviripo kumativi ose!'Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.

³⁰Tizai, endai kure, garai makadzika, imi vagere Hazori, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; nokuti Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi wakarangana pamusoro penyu, wakakufungirai mano akaipa.Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

³¹Simukai, muende kundorwa norudzi rwakazorora, runogara rusina hanya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; rusina masuo kana zvipfigiso, runogara rwoga.Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

³²Makamera avo achatapwa nezvipfuwo zvavo zvizhinji zvichapambwa; ndichavaparadzira kumativi ose kunobva mhepo, ivo vakaveurwa mativi evhudzi ravo, ndichavauyisira njodzi yavo ichibva kumativi ose ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.

³³Hazori huchava hugaro hwamakava, nedongo nokusingaperi; hakuna munhu ungagaramo, hakuna mwanakomana womunhu uchavamo ari mutorwa.And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

³⁴Shoko raJehovha, rakasvika kumuporofita Jeremiya pamusoro paEramu, pakutanga kwokubata ushe kwaZedhekia mambo waJudha, richiti,The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

³⁵Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, `Tarirai, ndichavhuna huta hwaEramu, icho chinhu chikuru chesimba ravo.Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁶Ndichauyisira pamusoro paEramu mhepo ina dzichibva kumativi mana okudenga, ndichavaparadzira kumativi iwo mana kunobva mhepo; hakungavi norudzi rumwe kusingasviki ivo vakadzingwa vaEramu.'And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

³⁷Ndichavhundusa Eramu pamberi pavavengi vavo napamberi pavanotsvaka kuvauraya; ndichauyisa zvakaipa pamusoro pavo, iko kutsamwa kwangu kukuru, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; ndichatuma munondo uvateverere kusvikira ndavapedza.For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

³⁸Ndichaisa chigaro changu choushe maEramu, ndiparadze mambo namachinda vabvepo ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

³⁹Asi namazuva okupedzisira ndichadzosazve kutapwa kwaEramu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
