Jeremiah 30
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
Iri ndiro shoko rakauya kuna Jeremia richibva kuna Jehovha richiti,
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
“Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Nyora mubhuku mashoko ose andakakuudza.
3 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
Mazuva anouya,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘andichadzosa vanhu vangu, vaIsraeri navaJudha kubva kuutapwa. Uye ndichavadzosera kunyika yandakapa madzitateguru avo kuti ive yavo,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.”
4 This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
Aya ndiwo mashoko akataurwa naJehovha pamusoro peIsraeri neJudha:
5 This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.
“Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Tinonzwa kuchema kwevanotya, kwokutyisidzirwa, kwete kworugare.
6 Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
Bvunzai muone: Ko, murume angagona kusununguka mwana here? Zvino, seiko ndichiona murume mumwe nomumwe akasimba akabata padumbu pake namaoko ake somukadzi orwadziwa, zviso zvose zvachenuruka?
7 What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.
Haiwa, zuva iro richatyisa seiko! Hakuna richafanana naro. Ichava nguva yaJakobho yokutambudzika, asi achaponeswa pairi.
8 On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
“‘Pazuva iro,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ‘Ndichavhuna joko pamitsipa yavo uye ndichadambura zvisungo zvavo; havachazoitwizve varanda navatorwa.
9 They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.
Asi, vachashumira Jehovha Mwari wavo naDhavhidhi mambo wavo, iye wandichavamutsira.
10 As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
“‘Saka, usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu; usavhunduka, iwe Israeri,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Zvirokwazvo ndichakuponesa kubva kunyika iri kure, zvizvarwa zvako kubva kunyika youtapwa hwavo. Jakobho achavazve norunyararo uye nokuchengetedzeka, uye hakuna achazomutyisa.
11 I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
Ndinewe uye ndichakuponesa,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Kunyange zvazvo ndakaparadza chose ndudzi dzose dzandakakuparadzira pakati padzo, handingazokuparadze zvachose iwe. Ndichakuranga asi nokururamisira chete; handingakusiyi usina kurangwa zvachose.’
12 This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
“Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Ronda rako harirapiki, kukuvadzwa kwako hakupori.
13 There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
Hakuna anokureverera mhaka yako, vanga rako harina mushonga, hapana kuporeswa kwako.
14 All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Vose vaikuda vakakukanganwa; havachina hanya newe. Ndakakurova sezvinoitwa nomuvengi ndikakuranga sezvinoitwa neano utsinye nokuti mhosva yako ihuru uye zvivi zvako zvakawanda.
15 Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Unochemeiko pamusoro pevanga rako, nokurwadziswa kwako kusingarapike? Nokuda kwokukura kwemhaka yako nezvivi zvizhinji ndakaita zvinhu izvi kwauri.
16 Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
“‘Asi vose vanokudya iwe vachadyiwawo; vavengi vako vose vachaenda kuutapwa. Vanokupamba, vachapambwawo; vose vanokuparadza, ndichavaparadzawo.
17 But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
Asi ndichakudzorera pautano uye ndichaporesa maronda ako,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘nokuti iwe wakanzi murashwa, Zioni zvaro risina ane hanya naro.’
18 This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
“Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Ndichadzosazve pfuma yamatende aJakobho uye ndichanzwira ugaro hwake tsitsi; guta richavakwazve pamatongo aro, nomuzinda uchamira panzvimbo yawo yakafanira.
19 People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
Nziyo dzokuvonga dzichabva kwavari uye nenzwi romufaro. Ndichawedzera kuwanda kwavo, uye havangatapudzwi; ndichavavigira kukudzwa, uye havangadukupiswi,
20 Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.
Vana vavo vachava sepamazuva ekare, uye ungano yavo ichasimbiswa pamberi pangu; ndicharanga vose vanovamanikidza.
21 Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
Mutungamiri wavo achava mumwe wokwavo; anovabata ushe achamutswa pakati pavo. Ndichamuswededza pedyo uye iye achaswedera pedyo neni, nokuti ndianiko achazvipira kuti ave pedyo neni?’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
22 You will be my people, and I will be your God.
‘Saka muchava vanhu vangu, neni ndichava Mwari wenyu.’”
23 Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
Tarirai, dutu raJehovha richaputika mukutsamwa kwake, mhepo inovhuvhuta ichimona pamisoro yavakaipa.
24 The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
Kutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha hakungadzoki, kusvikira apedza zvinovavarirwa nomwoyo wake. Mumazuva anouya muchanzwisisa izvozvi.
