< Deuteronomy 32 >

1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!
Inzwai, imi matenga, zvino ndichataura; inzwa, iwe nyika, mashoko omuromo wangu.
2 My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
Regai dzidziso yangu inaye semvura uye mashoko angu ayerere sedova, sokupfunha pauswa hunyoro, semvura zhinji papfumvudza nyoro.
3 For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!
Ndichaparidza zita raJehovha. Haiwa, rumbidzai ukuru hwaMwari wedu!
4 [He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
Ndiye ibwe, mabasa ake akakwana, uye nzira dzake dzakarurama. Mwari akatendeka asina chaanotadza, akarurama uye ndowezvokwadi.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: — A crooked and perverted generation!
Vakaita zvakaipa kwaari; vakazvinyadzisa uye havasisiri vana vake, asi vava rudzi rwakatsauka rwakakombama,
6 Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?
Ko, iyi ndiyo nzira yamunoripira nayo Jehovha here, imi mapenzi navanhu vasina kuchenjera? Ko, haazi iye Baba wenyu, noMusiki wenyu here, akakuitai nokukuumbai?
7 Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
Rangarira mazuva akare; ufunge marudzi akare kare. Ubvunze baba vako, uye vachakuudza, vakuru vako vachakutsanangurira.
8 When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
Wokumusoro-soro paakapa ndudzi nhaka, nguva yaakakamura marudzi ose, akaisira vanhu miganhu, zvichienderana nouwandu hwavanakomana veIsraeri.
9 For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
Nokuti mugove waJehovha ndivo vanhu vake, Jakobho ndiyo nhaka yake yaakayererwa.
10 He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.
Akamuwana munyika yomurenje, musina chinhu, munotyisa. Akamudzivirira uye akamuchengeta; akamuchengetedza semboni yeziso rake,
11 As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,
segondo rinogadziridza dendere raro nokuengerera pamusoro pavana varo, rinotambanudza mapapiro aro kuti rivagamhe, rovabereka pamapapiro aro.
12 So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange god [was] with him.
Jehovha oga ndiye akamutungamirira; kwakanga kusina mwari wokumwe akanga anaye.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
Akamuita kuti atasve panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzenyika uye akamupa zvibereko zveminda kuti adye. Akamusimbisa nouchi hwakabva padombo, uye namafuta akabva padombo romusarasara,
14 Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.
noruomba nomukaka kubva pamombe namakwai uye namakwayana nembudzi zvakakodzwa, namakondobwe akaisvonaka eBhashani, netsanga dzakanakisisa dzegorosi. Akanwa furo reropa ramazambiringa.
15 Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked — Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; — He gave up God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Jeshuruni akazokora uye akapfura; aguta nezvokudya, akava mukobvu uye akava namafuta. Akasiya Mwari akamuita uye akaramba Ibwe, Muponesi wake.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
Vakamuita kuti ave negodo nokuda kwavamwari vokumwe uye vakamutsamwisa nezviumbwa zvinonyangadza.
17 They sacrificed unto demons who are not God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
Vakabayira kumadhimoni, asiri Mwari, vamwari vavakanga vasingazivi, vamwari vatsva vakanga vachangomuka, vamwari vakanga vasingazivikanwi namadzibaba enyu.
18 Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten God who brought thee forth.
Wakasiya Ibwe rakakubereka; wakakanganwa Mwari akakubereka.
19 And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
Jehovha akaona izvi akavaramba nokuti akanga atsamwiswa navakomana vake navanasikana vake.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
“Ndichavanza chiso changu kubva kwavari,” iye akadaro, “tigoona kuti magumo avo achazodii; nokuti rudzi rwakatsauka, vana vasina kutendeka.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.
Vakamutsa godo rangu nokuda kwechinhu chisati chiri Mwari, vakanditsamwisa nokuda kwezviumbwa zvavo zvisina maturo. Ndichaita kuti vagodorwe navaya vasati vari vanhu; ndichavaita kuti vatsamwiswe norudzi rusinganzwisisi.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Nokuti moto watungidzwa nehasha dzangu, idzo dzinopisa kusvikira pasi pegomba rorufu. Dzichaparadza nyika nezvibereko zvayo uye dzichapisa nheyo dzamakomo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.
“Ndichatutira njodzi pamusoro pavo uye ndichapedza miseve yangu ndichivapfura.
24 They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.
Ndichatumira nzara inoondesa pamusoro pavo, nokuparadza kunopisa zvikuru nedenda rakaipisisa; ndichatumira meno ezvikara zvesango kwavari, uturu hwenyoka dzomuguruva.
25 From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror — Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
Munzira munondo uchaparadza vana vavo vose; mudzimba dzavo vachagara vachivhundutswa. Majaya nemhandara vachaparadzwa, vacheche navatana vachaparadzwawo.
26 I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
Ndakati ndichavaparadzira ndigodzima kurangarirwa kwavo kubva pakati pamarudzi,
27 If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.
asi ndakazotya kutuka kwomuvengi, kuti vavengi vavo vasazozvinzwisisa uye vakazoti, ‘Ruoko rwedu rwatikundisa; haazi Jehovha akaita izvi zvose.’”
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.
Nokuti ivo rudzi rusina mano, havagoni kunzvera pakati pavo.
29 Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!
Dai chete vakanga vakachenjera uye dai vaizonzwisisa izvi nokunzvera kuti magumo avo achazova akaita sei!
30 How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
Ko, munhu mumwe chete angadzinga sei chiuru chavanhu, kana kuti vanhu vaviri vangaita kuti vanhu zviuru gumi vatize sei, kunze kwokunge Dombo ravo ravatengesa, kunze kwokunge Jehovha ari iye avaisa mumaoko avo?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.
Nokuti dombo ravo harina kufanana neDombo redu, sezvinofungwa navavengi vedu.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;
Nokuti mazambiringa avo anobva pamizambiringa yeSodhomu nokuminda yeGomora. Mazambiringa avo azere nomuchetura, uye masumbu avo azere nokuvava.
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.
Waini yavo uturu hwenyoka, uturu hwakaipisisa hwemhakure.
34 Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
“Ko, handina kuchengeta izvi here, uye ndikazvipfigira mumatura angu?
35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Kutsiva ndokwangu; ndichatsiva. Nenguva yakafanira tsoka dzavo dzichatedzemuka; zuva renjodzi yavo rava pedyo uye kuparadzwa kwavo kunokurumidza kuuya pamusoro pavo.”
36 For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
Jehovha achatonga vanhu vake uye achanzwira tsitsi varanda vake, paanoona simba ravo rapera uye pasina asara, akatapwa kana asina.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
Achati, “Ko, zvino vamwari vavo varipiko, dombo ravakahwanda mariri,
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.
vamwari vakadya mafuta ezvibayiro zvavo nokunwa waini yezvipiriso zvavo zvinonwiwa? Ngavasimuke kuti vakubatsirei! Ngavakupei pokuvanda!
39 See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,
“Chionai zvino kuti ini pachangu ndini Iye! Hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu, ndinouraya uye ndinopa upenyu, ndakakuvadza uye ndichaporesa, uye hapana anogona kudzikinura muruoko rwangu.
40 For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!
Ndinosimudza ruoko rwangu kudenga ndichiti: Zvirokwazvo, noupenyu hwangu husingaperi,
41 If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.
kana ndichirodza munondo wangu unopenya uye ruoko rwangu rwaubata mukutonga, ndichatsiva kuvavengi vangu uye ndigotsiva vaya vanondivenga.
42 Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.
Ndichaita kuti miseve yangu idhakwe neropa ravo, uye munondo wangu uchadya nyama: ropa revakaurayiwa nevatapwa, nemisoro yavatungamiri vavavengi vangu.”
43 Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.
Farai, imi ndudzi, navanhu vake, nokuti achatsiva ropa ravaranda vake; achatsiva kuvavengi vake agoyananisira nyika yake navanhu vake.
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Mozisi akauya naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni uye akataura kwaari mashoko ose aya orwiyo urwu vanhu vachinzwa.
45 And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,
Mozisi akati apedza kutaura mashoko ose aya kuvaIsraeri vose,
46 he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.
akati kwavari, “Isai mumwoyo menyu mashoko ose andakupupurirai nhasi, kuitira kuti mugozorayira vana venyu kuti vachenjerere kuita mashoko ose omurayiro uyu.
47 For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
Haasi mashoko asina maturo kwamuri, asi kuti ndihwo upenyu hwenyu. Namashoko aya muchararama mazuva mazhinji munyika yamuri kuyambuka Jorodhani kuti muitore.”
48 And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Pazuva rimwe chetero Jehovha akataura kuna Mozisi akati,
49 Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,
“Kwira kumakomo eAbharimu uende mugomo reNebho muMoabhu, riri mhiri kweJeriko, ugoona nyika yeKenani, nyika yandiri kupa vaIsraeri kuti ive yavo.
50 and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;
Ipapo pagomo pauchakwira ndipo pauchafira uye ugova pamwe navanhu vako, sokufa kwakaita mukoma wako Aroni akafira paGomo reHori uye akava navanhu vake.
51 because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
Izvi zvakaitika nokuti imi muri vaviri hamuna kutendeka kwandiri pamberi pavaIsraeri pamvura yeMeribha Kadheshi murenje reZini uye nokuti hamuna kusimudzira utsvene hwangu pakati pavaIsraeri.
52 For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
Naizvozvo, uchaona nyika iyi uri chinhambwe; asi haungapindi munyika yandiri kupa kuvanhu veIsraeri.”
