Ezekiel 5
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
“Zvino, Mwanakomana womunhu, tora munondo unopinza ugoushandisa sechisvo chomugeri kuti uveure musoro wako nendebvu dzako. Ipapo utore zviyero zviviri ugokamura bvudzi.
2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Panopera mazuva okukomba kwako, upise nomoto chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chebvudzi uri mukati meguta. Ugotora chimwe chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu uchiteme nomunondo uchipoteredza guta. Ugoparadzira chimwe chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu kumhepo. Nokuti ini ndichavadzingirira nomunondo wakavhomorwa.
3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Asi utore rimwe bvudzi shoma shoma uriise pamipendero yenguo dzako.
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Uyezve, utore rimwe shoma racho urikande mumoto ugoripisa. Moto uchapararira kubva ipapo uchienda kuimba yose yaIsraeri.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Iri ndiro Jerusarema, randakaisa pakati pendudzi, nenyika dzakaripoteredza.
6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Asi pakuipa kwaro rakamukira mirayiro yangu nemitemo yangu kupfuura ndudzi nenyika dzakaripoteredza. Rakaramba mirayiro yangu uye harina kutevera mitemo yangu.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you;
“Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Wanga usingazvidzori kupfuura ndudzi dzakakupoteredza uye hauna kutevera mitemo yangu kana kuchengeta mirayiro yangu. Hauna kana kumbotevedzera tsika dzendudzi dzakakupoteredza.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
“Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ini iyeni ndinokurwisa iwe Jerusarema, uye ndichakuranga pamberi pedzimwe ndudzi.
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Nokuda kwezvifananidzo zvako zvinonyangadza, ndichakuitira zvandisina kumboita kare uye handichazozviitizve.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
Naizvozvo pakati pako madzibaba vachadya vana vavo, uye vana vachadya madzibaba avo. Ndichakuranga uye ndichaparadzira vakasara vako vose kumhepo zhinji.
11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee; ] neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
Naizvozvo noupenyu hwangu zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, nokuti wakasvibisa nzvimbo yangu tsvene nezvakaumbwa zvako zvinonyangadza uye namaitiro ako anosemesa, ini ndimene ndichabvisa nyasha dzangu kwauri handichakutarisi netsitsi kana kukuponesa.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chavanhu vako vachafa nehosha kana kufa nenzara mukati mako; chimwe chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chichawa nokuda kwomunondo kunze kwamasvingo ako; uye chimwe chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu ndichachiparadzira kumhepo zhinji ndigochitevera nomunondo wakavhomorwa.
13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
“Ipapo kutsamwa kwangu kuchapera uye hasha dzangu dzichabva pamusoro pavo, uye ndichange ndatsiva. Uye hasha dzangu padzichange dzapera pamusoro pavo, vachaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndazvitaura nokushingaira kwangu.
14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
“Ndichakuita dongo nechinhu chinoshorwa pakati pendudzi dzakakupoteredza, pamberi pavose vanopfuura napo.
15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Uchava chinhu chinoshorwa nechiseko, yambiro nechinhu chinotyisa kundudzi dzakakupoteredza pandinokuranga mukutsamwa nehasha dzangu uye nechituko chinobaya. Ini Jehovha ndataura.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
Pandinokupfura nemiseve yangu yenzara, inouraya uye inoparadza, ndichapfura kuti ndikuparadze. Ndichauyisa nzara pamusoro penzara pamusoro pako uye ndichamisa kupiwa kwako zvokudya.
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Ndichatuma nzara nezvikara kuti zvizokurwisa, uye zvichakusiya usisina mwana. Denda nokuteuka kweropa zvichapfuura nomauri, uye ndichauyisa munondo pamusoro pako. Ini Jehovha ndataura.”
