Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, And contrive evil upon their beds; When the morning is light, they practise it, Because it is in the power of their hand.
Vane nhamo avo vanoronga zvakaipa, avo vanoronga zvakaipa pamibhedha yavo! Pakuedza kwamangwanani vanozviita nokuti zviri musimba ravo kuzviita.
2 They covet fields, and take them by violence; Houses, and take them from their owners. They defraud a man of his house; Yea, a man of his inheritance.
Vanochiva minda vagoipamba, nedzimba, uye vagodzitora. Vanobira munhu imba yake, nomuvakidzani nhaka yake.
3 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this race do I meditate evil. From which ye shall not remove your necks, nor lift up your heads; For it shall be a time of 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 this song be uttered concerning thee. And this sad lamentation be made: “We are utterly laid waste; He hath changed the portion of my people; How hath he torn it from me! He hath taken away and distributed our fields.”
Pazuva iro vanhu vachakutukai; vachakudenhai norwiyo urwu rwokuchema: ‘Taitwa dongo chose; pfuma yavanhu vangu yagovaniswa. Anonditorera! Anopa minda yedu kuna vanotimukira?’”
5 Behold, thou shalt have no one henceforth Who shall draw out a line for a portion, In the congregation of Jehovah.
Naizvozvo muchashayiwa munhu kana mumwe, muungano yaJehovha, kuti agove nyika nemijenya.
6 “Prophesy not,” [[say they, ]] “O ye that prophesy!” If they prophesy not concerning these things, The shame will not depart.
Vaprofita vavo vanoti, “Musaprofita, musaprofita pamusoro pezvinhu izvi; kunyadziswa hakungatibati.”
7 O ye that are called the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Jehovah impatient? Are these his doings? Are not my words kind to him that walketh uprightly?
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 But long since hath my people risen against me, as an enemy; Ye strip the mantle from the garment of those that pass by securely, as men returning from war.
Asi mazuva ano vanhu vangu vakandimukira somuvengi. Munobvisa majasi anokosha pane avo vanopfuura musina kana hanya, savarume vodzoka kubva kuhondo.
9 The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant abodes; Ye deprive their children forever of the glory which I gave them.
Munodzinga madzimai avanhu vangu kubva mudzimba dzavo dzakanaka. Munotora ropafadzo yangu kubva kuvana vavo nokusingaperi.
10 Arise and depart; This land is not your rest! On account of its pollution shall it be wasted, And given to utter destruction.
Simukai, ibvai pano! Nokuti ino haisi nzvimbo yenyu yokuzororera, nokuti yakasvibiswa, yakaparadzwa zvisingagadziriki.
11 If a man follow wind, and invent falsehood, and say, “I will prophesy to thee of wine and strong drink!” He will be the prophet for this people.
Kana munyepi nomunyengeri akauya oti, ‘Ndichakuprofitirai waini zhinji nedoro,’ iyeyu achava muprofita wavanhu ava!
12 Yet will I fully gather thee, O Jacob, I will surely assemble the residue of Israel! I will put them together like sheep in a fold; Like a flock in their fold shall they be in a tumult on account of the multitude of men.
“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 He that forceth a way goeth before them; They force their way, and pass through the gate, And go forth by it; And their king goeth before them, Even Jehovah at the head of them.
Uyo achaparura nzira achaenda pamberi pavo; vachapwanya napasuo vagobuda panze. Mambo wavo achapfuura ari pamberi pavo, Iye Jehovha achivatungamirira.”
