Jeremias 31
1 Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
“Panguva iyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichava Mwari wamarudzi ose aIsraeri, naivo vachava vanhu vangu.”
2 There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after you shall go a sword;
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Vanhu vakapunyuka pamunondo vachawana nyasha mugwenga; ndichauya kuzopa zororo kuna Israeri.”
3 for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
Jehovha akazviratidza kwatiri kare, achiti: “Ndakakudai norudo rusingaperi; ndakakukwevai nokunaka kworudo rwangu.
4 Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:
Ndichakuvakazve, ipapo uchavakwa, iwe Mhandara Israeri. Uchatorazve matambureni ako ugoenda kundotamba navanofara.
5 for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; you have heard a cry of destruction.
Zvakare, muchasima minda yemizambiringa pamusoro pezvikomo zveSamaria; varimi vachaisima, vagofadzwa nezvibereko zvayo.
6 Flee you, and save your lives, and you shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
Pachava nezuva richadanidzira nharirire dziri pamusoro pezvikomo zveEfuremu, dzichiti, ‘Uyai, ngatikwidzei kuZioni, kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.’”
7 Since you have trusted in your strong-hold, therefore you shall be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Imbirai Jakobho nomufaro; pururudzirai mukuru wendudzi. Paridzai, rumbidzai, muchiti, ‘Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai vanhu venyu, ivo vakasara vaIsraeri.’
8 And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
Tarirai, ndichavauyisa vachibva kunyika yokumusoro, uye ndigovaunganidza kubva kumigumo yenyika. Pakati pavo pachava namapofu nezvirema, navanamai vane pamuviri navakadzi vanorwadziwa; boka guru richadzoka kuno.
9 Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?
Vachauya vachichema; vachanyengetera pandinenge ndichivadzosa. Ndichavafambisa nepahova dzemvura, napanzira yakati chechetere yavasingagumburwi, nokuti ndiri baba vaIsraeri, uye Efuremu ndiye dangwe rangu.
10 Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
“Inzwai shoko raJehovha imi ndudzi dzose; muriparidze kuzviwi zviri kure muchiti: ‘Iye akaparadzira Israeri ndiye achavaunganidza, uye achavachengeta somufudzi anochengeta boka ramakwai ake.’
11 Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
Nokuti Jehovha achasunungura Jakobho, uye agovadzikinura kubva muruoko rwaivo vane simba kupinda ivo.
12 Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
Vachauya vachipembera nomufaro pamusoro peZioni; vachafara nokupa zvakanaka kwaJehovha, nokuda kwezviyo, newaini itsva uye namafuta, makwayana nemombe. Vachafanana nebindu rakanyatsodiridzwa, uye havachazosuwazve.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
Ipapo varandakadzi vachatamba uye vachafara, majaya navatana vachafarawo. Ndichashandura kuchema kwavo kuti kuve mufaro; ndichavanyaradza uye ndichavapa mufaro pachinzvimbo chokusuwa.
14 How will you say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
Ndichagutsa vaprista nezvakawanda, uye vanhu vangu vachazadzwa nokupa zvakanaka kwangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
15 Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Inzwi rinonzwikwa muRama, rokuungudza nokuchema kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake uye achiramba kunyaradzwa, nokuti vana vake havachipo.”
16 The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Dzora inzwi rako pakuchema nameso ako pamisodzi, nokuti basa rako richaripirwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Vachadzoka vachibva kunyika yomuvengi.
17 Shake [the head] at him, all you that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say you, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
Saka ramangwana rako rine tariro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Vana vako vachadzokera kunyika yavo.”
18 Come down from [your] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against you one to ravage your strong-hold.
“Zvirokwazvo ndanzwa kuchema kwaEfuremu achiti: ‘Makandirova semhuru isina kupingudzwa, nokudaro ndakarangwa. Ndidzorei, ipapo ndichadzoka, nokuti imi ndimi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
19 Stand by the way, and look, you that dwell in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
Mushure mokutsauka kwangu, ndakatendeuka; ndakati ndanzwisisa ndakazvirova chipfuva. Ndakanyadziswa uye ndakaninipiswa nokuti ndakatakura nyadzi dzouduku hwangu.’
20 Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
Ko, Efuremu haasi mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa, mwana anondifadza here? Kunyange ndichimupikisa kazhinji, ndinoramba ndichimurangarira. Naizvozvo, mwoyo wangu unomushuva; ndinomunzwira tsitsi kwazvo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
21 And judgement is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
“Zvimisirei shongwe dzenzira; misai zvikwangwani. Cherechedzai mugwagwa mukuru, mugwagwa wamunofamba nawo. Dzoka, iwe Mhandara Israeri, dzokera kumaguta ako.
22 and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
Uchadzungaira kusvikira rinhiko, iwe mwanasikana wokusatendeka? Jehovha achasika chinhu chitsva panyika, zvokuti mukadzi achambundikira murume.”
23 and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri: “Pandichavadzosazve kubva kuutapwa, vanhu vari munyika yeJudha nomumaguta ayo vachataurazve mashoko aya okuti, ‘Jehovha ngaakuropafadze, iwe ugaro hwakarurama, iwe gomo dzvene.’
24 and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
Vanhu vachagara pamwe chete muJudha nomumaguta ayo ose, varimi navaya vanofamba namapoka avo.
25 The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
Ndichasimbisa vanenge vaneta uye ndichagutsa vanenge vaziya.”
26 Make you him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.
Ipapo ndakamuka ndokuringa-ringa. Ndakanga ndarara zvakanaka.
27 For surely Israel was to you a laughing stock, and was found amongst your thefts, because you did fight against him.
“Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichasima muimba yaIsraeri nomuimba yaJudha zvibereko zvavanhu nezvibereko zvemhuka.
28 The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and lived in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
Sezvandakavarindira kuti ndidzure, ndikoromore, uye ndiwisire pasi, ndiparadze, ndiuyise njodzi, saizvozvo ndichavarindira, kuti ndivake uye ndisime,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
29 And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
“Mumazuva iwayo vanhu havangazoti, “‘Madzibaba akadya mazambiringa anovava, mazino avana akaita hwadzira.’
30 But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
Asi, mumwe nomumwe achafa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake; ani naani anodya mazambiringa anovava, mazino ake achaita hwadzira.
31 Therefore howl you for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you,
“Nguva inouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “yandichaita sungano itsva neimba yaIsraeri uye neimba yaJudha.
32 O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.
Haingazofanani nesungano yandakaita namadzitateguru avo, pandakavabata ruoko kuti ndivabudise munyika yeIjipiti, nokuti vakaputsa sungano yangu, kunyange ndakanga ndiri murume kwavari,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
33 Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
“Iyi indiyo sungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri shure kwamazuva iwayo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Ndichaisa murayiro wangu mundangariro dzavo uye ndigounyora mumwoyo yavo. Ndichava Mwari wavo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vangu.
34 From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.
Hakuna munhu achadzidzisa muvakidzani wake kana hama yake, achiti, ‘Ziva Jehovha,’ nokuti vose vachandiziva, kubva kumuduku wavo kusvikira kumukuru,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Nokuti ndichavakanganwira kuipa kwavo, uye handingarangaririzve zvivi zvavo.”
35 And I will destroy Moab, says the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
Zvanzi naJehovha, iye anogadza zuva kuti rivhenekere masikati, anoisa chirevo kumwedzi nenyeredzi kuti zvivhenekere usiku, iye anomutsa gungwa kuti mafungu aro atinhire, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ndiro zita rake:
36 Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.
“Kana chete mitemo iyi ikabva pamberi pangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndiko kuti zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri zvigume kuva rudzi pamberi pangu.”
37 They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kana chete matenga ari kumusoro akagona kuyerwa, uye nheyo dzenyika dziri pasi dzikagona kunzverwa, ipapo ndipo pandingarambe zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri nokuda kwezvose zvavakaita,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
38 And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], says the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
“Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichavakirazve guta kubva paShongwe yeHananeri kusvikira paSuo reKona.
39 How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.
Rwodzi rwokuyera ruchatandavara kubva ipapo kusvikira kuchikomo cheGarebhi ndokudzoka ruchisvika kuGoa.
40 For thus said the Lord;
Mupata wose unorasirwa zvitunha namadota, neminda yose kusvikira kuMupata weKidhironi kumabvazuva kusvikira kukona reSuo raMabhiza, zvichava zvitsvene kuna Jehovha. Guta harichazombodzurwi kana kuparadzwazve.”
41 Carioth is taken, and the strongholds have been taken together.
42 And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
43 A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab.
44 He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
