Zekaria 9

¹Chirevo cheshoko raJehovha pamusoro penyika yeHadhiraki, uye paDhamasiko ndipo parichagara; nokuti ziso raJehovha rinotarira vanhu nendudzi dzose dzaIsiraeri;The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.

²uye Hamatiwo, rakabatana navo; uye Tire neSidhoni, nokuti vakachenjera kwazvo.And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

³Tire rakazvivakira nhare, rikazviunganidzira sirivha seguruva, nendarama yakaisvonaka samatope ari munzira dzomumusha.And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

⁴Tarirai, Jehovha acharikunda, achawisira simba raro mugungwa; richapedzwa nomoto.Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

⁵Ashikeroni richazviona, ndokutya; uye Gazawo, rikarwadziwa zvikuru; uye Ekironi, nokuti richanyadziswa pane zvarakatarira; mambo achaparara paEkironi, Ashikeroni haringagarwi navanhu.Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

⁶Mwanakomana woupombwe achagara paAshidhodhi, uye ndichaparadza kuzvikudza kwavaFirisitia.And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁷Ndichabvisa ropa mumuromo make, nezvinonyangadza zvake zviri pakati pameno ake; iyewo achasarira Mwari wedu; achava somuchinda paJudha, uye Ekironi somuJebhusi.And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁸Ndichakomberedza imba yangu nemisasa ndidzivirire hondo, kurege kuva nomunhu anopfuura napo kana kudzoka napo; hakungazovi nomumanikidzi anofamba napo; nokuti zvino ndazviona nameso angu.And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

⁹Fara kwazvo, iwe mukunda weZioni; pururudza iwe mukunda weJerusaremu, tarira, mambo wako anouya kwauri; ndiye akarurama, ndiye anokunda; anozvininipisa, akatasva mbongoro, iyo mhuru mwana wembongoro.Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

¹⁰Ndichaparadza ngoro pakati paEfuremu, namabhiza paJerusaremu; uta hwokurwa huchaparadzwa; uchataurira ndudzi dzavanhu rugare; ushe hwake huchabva pagungwa kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth.

¹¹Kana uriwewo, nokuda kweropa resungano yako, ndakasunungura vasungwa vako mugomba risine mvura.As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

¹²Dzokerai kunhare imi vasungwa vanetariro; ikonhasi ndinokuudzai kuti ndichakupai migove miviri.Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

¹³Nokuti ndakazvikungira Judha souta, ndikaisamo Efuremu semiseve; ndichamutsa vanakomana vako, iwe Ziyoni, varwe navanakomana vako, iwe Girisi; ndichakuita somunondo wemhare.When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

¹⁴Jehovha achaonekwa pamusoro pavo, museve wake uchabuda semheni; Ishe Jehovha acharidza hwamanda, achafamba nezvamupupuri zvinobva zasi.And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵Jehovha wehondo achavadzitira; vachaparadza, vachatsika pasi mabwe echipfuramabwe; vachanwa, vachiita ruzha savanhu vakabatwa newaini; vachazadzwa sembiya, samakona earitari.The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

¹⁶Jehovha Mwari wavo achavaponesa nezuva iro seboka ravanhu vake;nokuti vachafanana namabwe ekorona, anovaima kumusoro kwenyika yake.And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

¹⁷Nokuti kufara kwavo kuchava kukuru sei, nokunaka kwavo kuchava kukuru sei! Zviyo zvichakurisa majaya, waini itsva ichakurisa mhandara.For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
