Michaeas 2
1 They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
Vane nhamo avo vanoronga zvakaipa, avo vanoronga zvakaipa pamibhedha yavo! Pakuedza kwamangwanani vanozviita nokuti zviri musimba ravo kuzviita.
2 And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
Vanochiva minda vagoipamba, nedzimba, uye vagodzitora. Vanobira munhu imba yake, nomuvakidzani nhaka yake.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
Naizvozvo Jehovha anoti, “Ndiri kuronga njodzi yokurwisa nayo vanhu ava, zvamusingagoni kuzvidzivirira kwazviri. Hamuchazofambizve muchizvikudza, nokuti ichava nguva yedambudziko.
4 In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
Pazuva iro vanhu vachakutukai; vachakudenhai norwiyo urwu rwokuchema: ‘Taitwa dongo chose; pfuma yavanhu vangu yagovaniswa. Anonditorera! Anopa minda yedu kuna vanotimukira?’”
5 Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
Naizvozvo muchashayiwa munhu kana mumwe, muungano yaJehovha, kuti agove nyika nemijenya.
6 Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
Vaprofita vavo vanoti, “Musaprofita, musaprofita pamusoro pezvinhu izvi; kunyadziswa hakungatibati.”
7 who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
Zvingataurwe here, nhai imi imba yaJakobho, kuti: “Ko, mweya waJehovha watsamwa here? Iye anoita zvinhu zvakadaro here?” “Ko, mashoko angu haaiti zvakanaka here kuno uyo ane nzira dzake dzakarurama?
8 Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
Asi mazuva ano vanhu vangu vakandimukira somuvengi. Munobvisa majasi anokosha pane avo vanopfuura musina kana hanya, savarume vodzoka kubva kuhondo.
9 The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
Munodzinga madzimai avanhu vangu kubva mudzimba dzavo dzakanaka. Munotora ropafadzo yangu kubva kuvana vavo nokusingaperi.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
Simukai, ibvai pano! Nokuti ino haisi nzvimbo yenyu yokuzororera, nokuti yakasvibiswa, yakaparadzwa zvisingagadziriki.
11 you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
Kana munyepi nomunyengeri akauya oti, ‘Ndichakuprofitirai waini zhinji nedoro,’ iyeyu achava muprofita wavanhu ava!
12 Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:
“Zvirokwazvo ndichakuunganidzai imi mose, iwe Jakobho; zvirokwazvo ndichaunganidza pamwe chete vakasara vaIsraeri. Ndichavaunganidza pamwe chete samakwai muchirugu, seboka pamafuro aro; nzvimbo yacho ichazara navanhu.
13 they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
Uyo achaparura nzira achaenda pamberi pavo; vachapwanya napasuo vagobuda panze. Mambo wavo achapfuura ari pamberi pavo, Iye Jehovha achivatungamirira.”
