Isaiah 3
1 For look, the Lord Jehovah of hosts takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
Tarirai zvino, Ishe Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ava kuda kutora zvose rutsigiro nomudonzvo, kubva kuJerusarema neJudha; rutsigiro rwose rwezvokudya norutsigiro rwose rwemvura,
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
mhare nomurwi, mutongi nomuprofita, muvuki nomukuru,
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
mukuru wamakumi mashanu nomunhu anokudzwa, gurukota nomurume weumhizha, nomuvuki anoziva.
4 And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
Ndichaita kuti majaya ave vabati vavo; vana vadiki ndivo vachavatonga.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
Vanhu vachadzvinyirirana, munhu nomunhu, muvakidzani nomuvakidzani. Vadiki vachamukira vakuru, nounozvidza achamukira anokudzwa.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
Murume achabata mumwe wavanunʼuna vake paimba yababa vake achiti, “Ndiwe une nguo, chiva mutungamiri wedu; iva mutariri wedutu roungwandangwanda uhu!”
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
Asi pazuva iro achadanidzira achiti, “Handigoni kugadzirisa zvinhu. Handina chokudya kana chokufuka mumba mangu; musandiita mutungamiri wavanhu.”
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Jerusarema rozungunuka, Judha riri kuwa; mashoko avo nezviito zvavo zvinopesana naJehovha, vachizvidza kuvapo kwake kunobwinya.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Zvinoonekwa pazviso zvavo zvinovapupurira; vanoburitsa chivi chavo pachena seSodhomu; havambochivanzi. Vane nhamo! Vanouyisa njodzi pamusoro pavo.
10 Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
Udzai vakarurama kuti zvichavanakira, nokuti vachanakirwa nezvibereko zvamabasa avo.
11 Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
Vane nhamo vakaipa! Njodzi yava kuda kuvawira! Vacharipirwa zvakabatwa namaoko avo.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Vadiki vanomanikidza vanhu vangu, vakadzi vanovatonga. Haiwa, vanhu vangu, vatungamiri venyu vanokutsausai; vanokubvisai munzira.
13 Jehovah stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
Jehovha anotora nzvimbo yake muimba yokutonga; anosimuka kuti atonge vanhu.
14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Jehovha anopinda mukutonga vakuru navatungamiri vavanhu vake achiti, “Ndimi makaparadza munda wangu womuzambiringa; zvakapambwa zvinobva kuvarombo zviri mudzimba dzenyu.
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says Jehovah of hosts.
Munoreveiko zvamunopwanya vanhu vangu, uye muchikuya zviso zvavarombo?” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
16 Moreover Jehovah said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
Jehovha anoti, “Vakadzi veZioni vanozvikudza, vanofamba vakamisa mitsipa yavo. Vachichonya nameso avo, uye vanofamba vachinzenzeta, vaine zvishongo zvinorira muzviziso zvamakumbo avo.
17 therefore Jehovah brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Jehovah will make their scalps bald."
Naizvozvo Jehovha achauyisa maronda pamisoro yavakadzi veZioni; Jehovha achaitisa misoro yavo mhanza.”
18 In that day Jehovah will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
Pazuva iro Jehovha achabvisa pazviziso zvamakumbo avo: mabhenguro, nezvishongo zvomusoro, neungetani hwomutsipa hunonʼaima,
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
nemhete dzenzeve, nezvingetani zvomumaoko, namavhoiri
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
nezvishongo zvebvudzi, nezvingetani zvomuzviziso zvamakumbo, nemasikavha, namabhodhoro amafuta anonhuhwira, namazango,
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
nemhete, noukomba hwemhino,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
nenguo dzakanaka dzomutambo, nezvijasi, namakepesi namajasi nezvikwama,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
nezvionioni, nenguo dzomucheka wakaisvonaka, nezvishongo namashaweri.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Pachinzvimbo chezvinonhuhwira, pachava nokunhuhwa; pachinzvimbo chesikavha, pachava netambo; pachinzvimbo chebvudzi rakashongedzwa zvakanaka, pachava nemhanza; pachinzvimbo chembatya dzakaisvonaka, pachava nechipfeko chesaga; pachinzvimbo chorunako, pachava nokupiswa.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Varume venyu vachafa nomunondo, varwi venyu vachafa muhondo.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
Masuo eZioni achachema uye achaungudza; nokutambura kwaro, richagara pasi.
