Micah 1
1 The word of Jehovah, which came to Micah, the Morasthite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah; which was revealed to him concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Mika weMoresheti panguva yokutonga kwaJotamu, Ahazi naHezekia, madzimambo aJudha, chiratidzo chaakaona pamusoro peSamaria neJerusarema.
2 Hear, all ye nations, Give ear, O earth, and all that is therein! The Lord, Jehovah, appeareth as a witness against you, The Lord from his holy palace.
Inzwai, imi marudzi avanhu, imi mose, teerera, iwe nyika navose vari mauri, kuti Ishe Jehovha achakupai mhosva, Jehovha ari mutemberi yake tsvene.
3 Behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his dwelling-place; He cometh down, and advanceth upon the high places of the earth.
Tarirai! Jehovha ari kubuda panzvimbo yaanogara: anoburuka pasi agotsika panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzenyika.
4 The mountains melt under him, And the valleys cleave asunder, Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.
Makomo achanyongodeka pasi pake uye mipata ichapamuka, senamo pamoto, semvura inoyerera pamawere.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, And for the sin of the house of Israel. Where is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not at Samaria? And where are the high places of Judah? Are they not at Jerusalem?
Zvose izvi zvakaitika nokuda kwokudarika kwaJakobho, nokuda kwezvivi zveimba yaIsraeri. Kudarika kwaJakobho ndokweiko? Hakuzi Samaria here? Nzvimbo yakakwirira yaJudha ndeipiko? Haizi Jerusarema here?
6 Therefore will I make Samaria a heap of stones in the field, A place for the planting of a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, And lay bare her foundations.
“Naizvozvo ndichaita Samaria murwi wamabwe, nzvimbo yokusima minda yemizambiringa.
7 All her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, And all the hire of her harlotry shall be burned with fire, And all her idols will I destroy. For from the hire of a harlot did she gather her ornaments, And to the hire of a harlot shall they return.
Zvose zvifananidzo zvaro zvichaputswa kuita zvimedu; zvose zvipo zvaro zvomutemberi zvichapiswa nomoto; ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvaro zvose. Sezvo akaunganidza zvipo zvake kubva pamibayiro yezvifeve, semibayiro yezvifeve zvichazoshandiswa zvakare.”
8 Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will wail like the jackal, And mourn like the ostrich.
Nokuda kwaizvozvo ndichachema uye ndigoungudza; ndichafamba ndisina shangu mutsoka uye ndisina kupfeka. Ndichaungudza segava uye ndichachema sezizi.
9 For her wound is mortal; It extendeth to Judah; It reacheth to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Nokuti ronda rake harirapiki; rasvika kuna Judha. Rasvika pasuo ravanhu vangu chaipo, kunyange kuJerusarema chaiko.
10 Tell it not in Gath! weep not in Acco! In Beth-Aprah roll yourselves in the dust!
Musazvireva paGati; musambochema. MuBheti Ofira umburukai muguruva.
11 Pass on, thou inhabitant of Saphir, naked and in shame! The inhabitant of Zaanan no more goeth out; The grief of Beth-Azel denieth you an abode.
Pfuurai muende musina kupfeka mukunyara, imi munogara muShafiri. Avo vanogara muZaanani havangabudi kunze. Bheti Ezeri riri mukuchema; kudzivirirwa kwaro kwabviswa kubva kwariri.
12 The inhabitant of Maroth mourneth for his goods, For evil came down from Jehovah to the gates of Jerusalem.
Avo vanogara muMaroti mukurwadziwa kukuru vakamirira kudzikinurwa, nokuti njodzi yasvika ichibva kuna Jehovha, kunyange pasuo reJerusarema.
13 Bind the chariot to the courser, O inhabitant of Lachish! Thou wast the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; In thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
Imi vanogara muRakishi, sungai mabhiza enyu pangoro. Ndimi makava mavambo echivi kuMwanasikana weZioni, Nokuti kudarika kwaIsraeri kwakawanikwa mamuri.
14 Therefore shalt thou resign the possession of Moresheth of Gath; The houses of Achzib shall disappoint the kings of Israel.
Naizvozvo uchapa zvipo zvokuonekedzana kuna Moresheti Gati. Guta reAkizibhi richaratidza unyengeri kumadzimambo aIsraeri.
15 A possessor will I bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
Ndichauyisa mukundi kwauri iwe unogara muMaresha. Iye anova kubwinya kwaIsraeri achauya kuAdhuramu.
16 Make thyself bald, cut off thy locks, for the children of thy love; Enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; For they have gone from thee into captivity.
Veurai misoro yenyu mukuchema nokuda kwavana vamunofarira; zviitei musvuu sowegora, nokuti vachabva kwamuri vachienda kuutapwa.
