Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;
Shoko rakauya kuna Jeremia pamusoro pavanhu vose veJudha mugore rechina raJehoyakimi mwanakomana waJosia mambo weJudha, iro rakanga riri gore rokutanga raNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi.
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Saka Jeremia muprofita akati kuvanhu vose veJudha nokuna vose vaigara muJerusarema:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
Kwamakore makumi maviri namatatu, kubva pagore regumi namatatu raJosia mwanakomana waAmoni mambo weJudha kusvikira zuva ranhasi, shoko raJehovha ranga richiuya kwandiri uye ini ndikataura ndataurazve kwamuri, asi hamuna kuteerera.
4 And the LORD hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
Uye kunyange Jehovha akatuma varanda vake kwamuri ivo vaprofita nguva nenguva, imi hamuna kuteerera kana kurereka nzeve dzenyu.
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given to you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
Ivo vakati, “Dzokai zvino mumwe nomumwe wenyu, kubva panzira dzenyu dzakaipa nepamabasa enyu akaipa, mugogara munyika yamakapiwa naJehovha imi namadzibaba enyu nokusingaperi.
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
Regai kutevera vamwe vamwari kuti muvashumire uye muvanamate; murege kunditsamwisa nezvakaitwa namaoko enyu. Ipapo handingakuitirei zvakaipa.”
7 Yet ye have not hearkened to me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own harm.
“Asi imi hamuna kunditeerera,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye makanditsamwisa nezvakaitwa namaoko enyu, mukaita kuti zvakaipa zvikuwirei.”
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Nemhaka yokuti hamuna kuteerera mashoko angu,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations on every side, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an horror, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
ndichadana marudzi ose okumusoro uye nomuranda wangu Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye ndichavauyisa kuzorwa nenyika ino navanogaramo uye nendudzi dzose dzakavapoteredza. Ndichavaparadza zvachose uye ndichavaita chinhu chinovengwa nechinosekwa, nedongo nokusingaperi.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
Ndichabvisa pakati pavo manzwi okupembera nomufaro, namanzwi emwenga neechikomba, nenzwi reguyo nechiedza chemwenje.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Nyika ino yose ichava dongo, uye marudzi aya achashandira mambo weBhabhironi kwemakore makumi manomwe.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
“Asi kana makore makumi manomwe apera, ndicharova mambo weBhabhironi norudzi rwake, nenyika yavaBhabhironi, pamusoro pemhosva yavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye ndichaiita dongo nokusingaperi.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
Ndichauyisa pamusoro penyika iyo zvinhu zvose zvandakataura pamusoro payo, zvose zvakanyorwa mubhuku iri nezvakaprofitwa naJeremia pamusoro pendudzi dzose.
14 For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
Ivo pachavo vachatapwa nendudzi zhinji namadzimambo makuru; ini ndichavaripira zvakaenzana nokubata kwavo uye namabasa emaoko avo.”
15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
Izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kwandiri: “Tora kubva muruoko rwangu mukombe uyu wakazara newaini yokutsamwa kwangu unwise ndudzi dzose dzandinokutuma kwadziri.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and go mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
Kana vachinge vainwa vachadzedzereka nokupenga nokuda kwomunondo wandichatuma pakati pavo.”
17 Then I took the cup at the LORD’S hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
Saka ndakatora mukombe muruoko rwaJehovha ndikaita kuti ndudzi dzose dzaakandituma kwadziri dzinwe:
18 That is, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an horror, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
Jerusarema namaguta eJudha, namadzimambo, namachinda aro, kuti aitwe matongo, chinhu chinovengwa nechinosekesa, nechinotukwa, sezvaakaita iye nhasi;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Faro mambo weIjipiti, navaranda vake, namachinda ake uye navanhu vake vose,
20 And all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
navatorwa vose variko; namadzimambo ose eUzi; namadzimambo ose eFiristia (neavo veAshikeroni, neGaza, neEkironi, navanhu vakasiyiwa kuAshidhodhi);
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
Edhomu neMoabhu neAmoni;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
namadzimambo ose eTire neSidhoni; namadzimambo emuzviwi mhiri kwegungwa;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
neDhedhani, neTema, neBhuzi navose vari kunzvimbo dziri kure;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people that dwell in the desert,
madzimambo ose eArabhia namadzimambo ose enyika dzavatorwa vanogara mugwenga;
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
namadzimambo ose eZimuri, neEramu neFiristia,
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
namadzimambo ose okumusoro vepedyo nevokure, mumwe achitevera mumwe, ushe hwose huri pamusoro penyika. Shure kwaivava vose, mambo weSheshaki achazoinwawo.
27 Therefore thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunk, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
“Ipapo uvaudze kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri: Inwai mudhakwe, murutse, muwe, uye murege kuzomukazve nokuda kwomunondo wandichatuma pakati penyu.’
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
Asi kana vakaramba kutora mukombe muruoko rwako kuti vamwe, uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: Munofanira kuinwa!
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
Tarirai, ndava kutanga kuuyisa njodzi pamusoro peguta rinodanwa neZita rangu, ko, imi mungarega kurangwa here? Hamungaregi kurangwa nokuti ndava kudana munondo pamusoro pavose vagere panyika, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.’
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Zvino chiprofita mashoko aya ose pamusoro pavo uchiti: “‘Jehovha achaomba ari kumusoro; achatinhira ari pachigaro chake chitsvene uye achaomba zvikuru pamusoro penyika yake. Achadanidzira sezvinoita vanotsika mazambiringa, achidanidzira kuna vose vagere panyika.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
Bope richaunga kusvikira kumagumo enyika, nokuti Jehovha achapa ndudzi mhosva; achauyisa kutonga pamusoro pamarudzi ose avanhu uye achaisa vakaipa kumunondo,’” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised from the ends of the earth.
Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Tarirai, njodzi iri kupararira ichibva kuno rumwe rudzi ichienda kuno rumwe; dutu guru rasimuka richibva kumagumo enyika.”
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be refuse upon the ground.
Panguva iyo vakaurayiwa naJehovha vachava pose pose vachibva kuno mumwe mugumo wenyika kusvikira kuno mumwe. Havangachemwi kana kuunganidzwa, kana kuvigwa, asi vachava somupfudze uri pamusoro penyika.
34 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye chief of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
Chemai uye muungudze, imi vafudzi; umburukai muguruva, imi vatungamiri veboka. Nokuti nguva yokuurayiwa kwenyu yasvika; muchawa mugopwanyika somudziyo wakanaka wevhu.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the chief of the flock to escape.
Vafudzi vachashayiwa kwokutizira, uye vakuru veboka vachashayiwa kwokutizira.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a wailing of the chief of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath laid waste their pasture.
Inzwai kuchema kwavafudzi, kuungudza kwavatungamiri veboka, nokuti Jehovha ari kuparadza mafuro avo.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Mafuro ano runyararo achaparadzwa nokuda kwokutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
Seshumba, achabva panzvimbo yake yokuvanda, uye nyika yavo ichaparadzwa nokuda kwomunondo womumanikidzi, uye nokuda kwokutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha.
