Jeremiah 12
1 Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly?
Imi munogara makarurama, iyemi Jehovha, pandinouya pamberi penyu nemhaka. Kunyange zvakadaro ndichataura nemi pamusoro pokururamisira kwenyu, ndichiti: Nemhaka yeiko nzira yavakaipa ichibudirira? Nemhaka yei vasingatendi vachirarama zvakanaka?
2 Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Makavasima, uye vava nemidzi; vanokura uye vanobereka muchero. Imi munogara muri pamiromo yavo asi muri kure nemwoyo yavo.
3 And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as sheep for a sacrifice, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Asi munondiziva, imi Jehovha; munondiona uye munoedza ndangariro dzangu pamusoro penyu. Vakwekweredzei samakwai anondobayiwa! Muvagadzirire zuva rokubayiwa.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end.
Nyika ichasvika riniko yakangooma, nebundo resango rakangosvava? Nokuti vose vanogaramo vakaipa, mhuka neshiri zvaparara. Pamusoro paizvozvo, vanhu vanoti, “Haasi kuzoona zvinoitika kwatiri.”
5 If thou hast wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?
“Kana wakaita nhangemutange navanhu netsoka, uye vakakunetesa ungagokwikwidzana sei namabhiza? Kana uchigumburwa panyika yakanaka, ungagara seiko mumatenhere eJorodhani?
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee.
Hama dzako, mhuri yako chaiyo, kunyange naivowo vakakumukira; vakadanidzira zvikuru kwazvo pamusoro pako. Usavimba navo, kunyange vachitaura zvakanaka pamusoro pako.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.
“Ndichasiya imba yangu, ndigorasa nhaka yangu; ndichapa mudikani wangu mumaoko avavengi vake.
8 My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it.
Nhaka yangu yava kwandiri seshumba iri musango. Anoomba pamberi pangu; naizvozvo ndinomuvenga.
9 Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour.
Ko, nhaka yangu haizova kwandiri segondo rina mavara here, iro rinokombwa uye rinorwiswa namamwe makondo? Endai munounganidza zvikara zvose; muuye nazvo zvidye.
10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness.
Vafudzi vazhinji vachaparadza munda wangu womuzambiringa, uye vachatsindira munda wangu; vachashandura munda wangu unofadza kuti uve dongo risina chinhu.
11 They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart.
Uchaitwa dongo rakaoma uye rakaparadzwa pamberi pangu; nyika yose ichava dongo nokuti hakuna ane hanya.
12 The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh.
Pamusoro pezvikomo zvisina miti zviri mugwenga, vaparadzi vachamomotera, nokuti munondo waJehovha uchaparadza, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwenyika kusvikira kuno rumwe, hakuna achava norugare.
13 They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
Vachadyara gorosi asi vachakohwa minzwa; vachazvinetesa asi hakuna chavachawana. Saka zvitakurirei kunyadziswa kwegohwo renyu, nokuda kwokutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha.”
14 Thus saith the Lord against all my wicked neighbors, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kana vari vakaipa vakavakidzana nemi vanopamba nhaka yandakapa vanhu vangu vaIsraeri ndichavadzura munyika dzavo uye ndichadzura imba yaJudha kubva pakati pavo.
15 And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and I will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man to his land.
Asi mushure mokuvadzura, ndichavanzwirazve tsitsi uye ndichadzosa mumwe nomumwe wavo kunhaka yake nokunyika yake.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
Zvino kana vadzidza zvakanaka nzira dzavanhu vangu uye vakapika nezita rangu, vachiti, ‘Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu,’ kunyange havo vakambodzidzisa vanhu vangu kupika naBhaari, ipapo vachasimbiswa pakati pavanhu vangu.
17 But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.
Asi kana pano rudzi rusingateereri, ndicharudzura zvachose ndigoruparadza,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
