< Jeremiah 43 >

1 And it was when had finished Jeremiah to speak to all the people all [the] words of Yahweh God their which he had sent him Yahweh God their to them all the words these.
Jeremia akati apedza kuudza vanhu mashoko ose aJehovha Mwari wavo, zvose zvaakanga atumwa naJehovha kuti avaudze,
2 And he said Azariah [the] son of Hoshaiah and Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all the people arrogant saying to Jeremiah falsehood you [are] speaking not he has sent you Yahweh God our saying not you must go Egypt to sojourn there.
Azaria mwanakomana waHoshaya naJohanani mwanakomana waKarea navarume vose vaizvikudza vakati kuna Jeremia, “Unoreva nhema iwe! Jehovha Mwari wedu haana kukutuma kuti uzoti, ‘Hamufaniri kuenda kuIjipiti kundogara ikoko.’
3 For Baruch [the] son of Neriah [is] inciting you against us so as to give us in [the] hand of the Chaldeans to put to death us and to take into exile us Babylon.
Asi Bharuki mwanakomana waNeria ndiye anokukurudzirai pamusoro pedu kuti tiendeswe kuvaBhabhironi, kuti vagotiuraya kana kutitora vachitiendesa kuBhabhironi.”
4 And not he listened Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies and all the people to [the] voice of Yahweh to remain in [the] land of Judah.
Naizvozvo Johanani mwanakomana waKarea navakuru vose vehondo navanhu vose havana kuteerera murayiro waJehovha kuti vagare munyika yeJudha.
5 And he took Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies all [the] remnant of Judah who they had come back from all the nations where they had been driven away there to sojourn in [the] land of Judah.
Panzvimbo paizvozvo Johanani mwanakomana waKarea navakuru vose vehondo vakatora vakasara vose veJudha vakanga vadzoka kuzogara munyika yeJudha kubva kundudzi dzose kwavakanga vaparadzirwa.
6 The men and the women and the little one[s] and [the] daughters of the king and every person whom he had left Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards with Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch [the] son of Neriah.
Vakatorawo varume vose, vakadzi navana navanasikana vamambo vakanga vasiyiwa naNebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi vamambo kuna Gedharia mwanakomana waShafani, naJeremia muprofita uye naBharuki mwanakomana waNeria.
7 And they went [the] land of Egypt for not they had listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and they came to Tahpanhes.
Saka vakapinda muIjipiti vasingateereri Jehovha vakaenda zvokutosvika kuTapanesi.
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes saying.
Vari paTapanesi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Jeremia, richiti,
9 Take in hand your stones large and you will hide them in the mortar in the brick-terrace which [is] at [the] entrance of [the] house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes to [the] eyes of [the] people Jews.
“Tora mabwe makuru uavige mudhaka pakati pezvitinha panopindwa napo kumuzinda waFaro uri paTapanesi, vaJudha vakatarisa.
10 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to send and I will fetch Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon servant my and I will set throne his from above the stones these which I have hidden and he will spread out (state tent his *Q(K)*) over them.
Ipapo uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndichatuma shoko kumuranda wangu Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, uye ndichaisa chigaro chake choushe pamusoro pamabwe aya andaviga pano; achatambanudza denga rake roushe pamusoro pawo.
11 (And he will come *Q(K)*) and he will attack [the] land of Egypt [those] who [are] for death to death and [those] who [are] for captivity to captivity and [those] who [are] for the sword to the sword.
Achauya agorwisa Ijipiti, achivigira rufu kuna avo vakatongerwa rufu, kutapwa kuna vakatongerwa utapwa, nomunondo kuna avo vakatongerwa munondo.
12 And I will kindle fire in [the] houses of [the] gods of Egypt and he will burn them and he will take captive them and he will delouse [the] land of Egypt just as he delouses the shepherd garment his and he will go out from there in peace.
Achapisa temberi dzavamwari veIjipiti; achapisa temberi dzavo agotapa vamwari vavo. Sokumonera kunoita mufudzi nguo yake, saizvozvo achamonera nyika yeIjipiti agobvako asina vanga.
13 And he will break [the] sacred pillars of Beth Shemesh which [is] in [the] land of Egypt and [the] houses of [the] gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.
Imomo, mutemberi yezuva iri muIjipiti, achaputsa mbiru dzinoera uye achapisa temberi dzavamwari veIjipiti.’”
