Jeremiah 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
Haiwa, dai musoro wangu waiva chitubu chemvura uye meso angu riri tsime remisodzi! Ndingadai ndaichema masikati nousiku nokuda kwavakaurayiwa vavanhu vangu.
2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
Haiwa, dai ndaiva nenzvimbo mugwenga yokugara yavafambi, kuitira kuti ndisiye vanhu vangu ndiende kure navo; nokuti vose imhombwe, ungano yavanhu vasina kutendeka.
3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
“Vanokunga rurimi rwavo souta, kuti vapfure nhema; havaiti nechokwadi pakukunda kwavanoita munyika. Vanobva pane chimwe chivi vachienda pane chimwe; havandizivi ini,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
4 Let every man take heed of his neighbor, and let his not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
“Chenjererai shamwari dzenyu; musavimba nehama dzenyu. Nokuti hama ipi neipi inonyengera, uye shamwari ipi neipi inoita makuhwa.
5 And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
Shamwari inonyengera shamwari, uye hakuna anotaura chokwadi. Vakadzidzisa ndimi dzavo kureva nhema; vanozvinetsa nokuita zvakaipa.
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
Munogara pakati pounyengeri; mukunyengera kwavo vanoramba kundiziva ini,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Tarirai, ndichavanatsa uye ndichavaedza, ndechipi chimwe chandingaita nokuda kwechivi chavanhu vangu?
8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
Rurimi rwavo museve unouraya; runotaura nokunyengera. Nomuromo wake mumwe nomumwe anotaura zvakanaka kune wokwake, asi mumwoyo make anomuteyera musungo.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
Ko, handigavarangi nokuda kwechinhu ichi here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Ko, handingazvitsiviri pamusoro porudzi rwakadai here?”
10 For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
Ndichachema uye ndichaungudza nokuda kwamakomo, uye ndichachema pamusoro pamafuro egwenga. Aparara uye hakuna anofambako, uye kukuma kwemombe hakunzwiki. Shiri dzedenga dzatiza, uye mhuka dzaenda.
11 And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
“Ndichaita Jerusarema murwi wedongo, panogara makava; uye ndichaparadza maguta eJudha, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anogarako.”
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
Ndoupiko munhu akachenjera zvokuti anganzwisisa izvi? Ndianiko akarayirwa naJehovha uye angatsanangura izvi? Nemhaka yeiko nyika yanyangadzwa yava dongo ikafanana negwenga risina angapfuura nomo?
13 And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
Jehovha akati, “Nemhaka yokuti vakasiya murayiro wangu, wandakaisa pamberi pavo, havana kunditeerera kana kutevera murayiro wangu.
14 But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
Asi, vakatevera kusindimara kwemwoyo yavo; vakatevera vanaBhaari, sezvavakadzidziswa namadzibaba avo.”
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri, “Tarirai ndichaita kuti vanhu ava vadye zvinovava uye kuti vanwe mvura ino muchetura.
16 And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
Ndichavaparadzira pakati pendudzi dzavasina kumboziva uye dzisina kumbozivikanwa namadzibaba avo, uye ndichavatevera nomunondo kusvikira ndavaparadza.”
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Rangarirai zvino! Danai vakadzi vanochema vauye; danai vanogonesesa pakati pavo.
18 Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
Ngavakurumidze kuuya vagochema pamusoro pedu kusvikira maziso edu ayerera misodzi, nzizi dzoyerera mumaziso edu.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
Maungira okuchema anonzwika kubva kuZioni achiti: ‘Haiwa taparadzwa sei! Haiwa kunyadziswa kwedu kukuru sei! Tinofanira kusiya nyika yedu nokuti dzimba dzedu dzava matongo.’”
20 Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbor mourning.
Zvino, imi vakadzi, inzwai shoko raJehovha; dziurai nzeve dzenyu dzinzwe mashoko omuromo wake. Dzidzisai vanasikana venyu kuungudza; dzidzisanai kuchema.
21 For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
Rufu rwakapinda napamawindo edu uye rwapinda munhare dzedu; rwauraya vana mumigwagwa namajaya ari munzira dzeguta.
22 Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
Uti, “Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Zvitunha zvavanhu zvichavata somupfudze uri pamusoro pomunda, sezviyo zvakachekwa shure kwavacheki, zvisina achazviunganidza.’”
23 Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Akachenjera ngaarege kuzvirumbidza pamusoro penjere dzake, kana munhu ane simba pamusoro pesimba rake, kana akapfuma pamusoro pepfuma yake,
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
Asi anozvirumbidza ngaazvirumbidze pamusoro pezvizvi: kuti anondinzwisisa uye kuti anondiziva ini, kuti ndini Jehovha, anoita unyoro, nokukururamisira, nokururama panyika, nokuti ndinofarira izvozvi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
“Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andicharanga vose vakadzingiswa panyama chete,
26 Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Ijipiti, Judha, Edhomu, Amoni, Moabhu navose vanogara mugwenga kunzvimbo dziri kure. Nokuti ndudzi dzose idzi hadzina kumbodzingiswa, uye kunyange imba yose yaIsraeri haina kudzingiswa, mumwoyo.”
