Joel 2
1 Blow all of you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
Ridzai hwamanda muZioni; ridzai hwamanda yokuyambira vanhu muri pagomo rangu dzvene. Vanhu vose vagere munyika ngavadedere nokuti zuva raJehovha riri kuuya. Rava pedyo,
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
zuva rerima nokusuwa, zuva ramakore nokusviba. Samambakwedza anoonekwa pamusoro pamakomo, hondo huru ine simba guru iri kuuya; zvakadai hazvina kutombovapo munguva yakare, uye hazvichazoonekwizve munguva ichatevera.
3 A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Moto unoparadza pamberi padzo, marimi omoto ari kupisa shure kwadzo. Pamberi padzo, nyika yakafanana nebindu reEdheni, shure kwadzo kwangova gwenga risina basa, hapana chinopunyuka.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Pakuonekwa kwadzo dzakaita samabhiza; dzinomhanya samabhiza ehondo.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Nokutinhira sokwengoro dzinokwakuka pamusoro pamakomo dzichidya mashanga semoto unopisa uswa hwakaoma, sehondo ine simba yabuda kundorwa.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Pakungodziona chete, ndudzi dzose dzinotya; vose vanocheneruka kumeso.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Dzinorwisa samauto; dzinokwira madziro savarwi. Dzinofamba dzakateverana dzisingatsauki padzakananga napo.
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Hadzikwikwidzani pakufamba, imwe neimwe inofamba yakananga mberi. Dzinopwanya nzvimbo dzakadzivirirwa sei, pasina chinodzikanganisa pakurongana kwadzo.
9 They shall run back and forth in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Dzinobhururuka dzakananga muguta; dzinomhanya pamusoro porusvingo. Dzinokwira dzichipinda mudzimba; dzinopinda napamawindo sembavha.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
Pamberi padzo, pasi panozunguzika, denga rinodedera, zuva nomwedzi zvinosviba uye nyeredzi dzinodzima.
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Jehovha anoomba, ari pamberi pehondo yake; mauto ake haaverengeki, uye vane simba ndivo vanoteerera kurayira kwake. Zuva raJehovha iguru; rinotyisa kwazvo. Ndiani angamira musi waro?
12 Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn all of you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Jehovha anoti, “Kunyange zvino, tendeukirai kwandiri nemwoyo yenyu yose muchitsanya, muchichema uye muchiungudza.”
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
Bvarurai mwoyo yenyu, kwete nguo dzenyu. Dzokerai kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu, iye ane nyasha uye ane tsitsi, anononoka kutsamwa uye ane rudo rukuru; anozvidzora pakutumira vanhu njodzi.
14 Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a food offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Ndiani anoziva? Anogona kupinduka agonzwa tsitsi, uye agokusiyirai mukomborero wezvipiriso zvezviyo nezvipiriso zvokunwa zvinoitirwa Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Ridzai hwamanda muZioni. Sarudzai zuva rokutsanya kutsvene, danai vanhu kuungano tsvene.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go out of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Unganidzai vanhu, munatse ungano iyi, unganidzai pamwe chete vakuru, unganidzai vana, vachiri kuyamwa. Vachangowanana, murume ngaabude muimba yake nomwenga muimba yake.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Vaprista vanoshumira pamberi paJehovha ngavacheme vari pakati pebiravira retemberi nearitari. Ngavati, “Musaparadza vanhu venyu, imi Jehovha. Musaita kuti nhaka yenyu ive chinhu chinosekwa, chirevo pakati pendudzi. Vachataurirei pakati pamarudzi vachiti, ‘Mwari wavo aripiko?’”
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Ipapo Jehovha achava negodo pamusoro penyika yake, uye achanzwira vanhu vake tsitsi.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and all of you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Jehovha achavapindura achiti, “Ndava kukutumirai zviyo, waini itsva namafuta, zvakawanda zvokuti muchaguta kwazvo, handichazokuitai zvakare chiseko chendudzi.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he has done great things.
“Ndichadzingira kure nemi hondo yokumusoro, ndichaidzingira kunyika yakaoma isina chibereko, dziya dziri mberi dzichawira mugungwa rokumabvazuva, uye dziya dziri shure dzichawira mugungwa rokumadokero. Uye kunhuhwa kwadzo kuchakwira; kunhuhwa kwadzo kukuru kuchakwira.” Zvirokwazvo akaita zvinhu zvikuru.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Usatya iwe nyika; fara zvako upembere. Zvirokwazvo Jehovha aita zvinhu zvikuru.
22 Be not afraid, all of you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Musatya, imi mhuka dzesango, nokuti mafuro ava kusvibira. Miti yava kubereka michero yayo; mionde nemizambiringa zvichabereka kwazvo.
23 Be glad then, all of you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Farai imi vanhu veZioni, farai muna Jehovha Mwari wenyu, nokuti akakupai mvura yokupedzisira mukururama. Anokupai mvura yakawanda, yokupedzisira neyebumharutsva sakare.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Mapuriro enyu achazara nezviyo, uye zvisviniro zvenyu zvichazara newaini itsva namafuta.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
“Ndichakuripirai makore ose amakadyirwa nemhashu: mhashu dzemagutaguta nedzegwatakwata, dzimwe mhashu nefararira remhashu; hondo yangu huru yandinotuma pakati penyu.
26 And all of you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Muchava nezvokudya zvakawanda kusvikira maguta, ipapo mucharumbidza zita raJehovha Mwari wenyu, uyo akakuitirai zvishamiso; vanhu vangu havachazonyadziswi zvakare.
27 And all of you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Ipapo muchazoziva kuti ndirimo muIsraeri, uye kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, uyewo kuti hakuna mumwe; vanhu vangu havachazonyadziswi zvakare.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
“Uye mushure maizvozvo, ndichadururira Mweya wangu pamusoro pavanhu vose. Vanakomana navanasikana venyu vachaprofita, vatana venyu vacharota hope, majaya enyu achaona zviratidzo.
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Kunyange pamusoro pavaranda vangu, zvose varume navakadzi, ndichadururira Mweya wangu mumazuva iwayo.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Ndicharatidza zvishamiso kudenga napanyika, ropa nomoto neshongwe dzoutsi.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
Zuva richashanduka rigova rima, uye mwedzi uchava ropa, zuva guru raJehovha rinotyisa risati rasvika.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Uye ani naani anodana kuzita raJehovha achaponeswa; nokuti paGomo reZioni nomuJerusarema muchava noruponeso, sezvakataurwa naJehovha, pakati pavanopunyuka, avo vachadanwa naJehovha.
