Mugore regumi nerimwe, pazuva rokutanga romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, ngenxa yokuthi iTire itshilo ngeJerusalema isithi: Aha, yephukile ebingamasango abantu; isiphendukele kimi; ngizagcwaliswa, ichithekile.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, nokuda kwokuti Tire yakati kuJerusarema, ‘Toko waro! Suo rokundudzi raputsika, uye makonhi aro azarukira kwandiri; zvino zvarava dongo ini ndichabudirira,’
3 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena Tire, ngenze izizwe ezinengi zenyuke zimelane lawe, njengolwandle lusenza amagagasi alo enyuke.
naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndiri kukurwisa, iwe Tire, uye ndichauyisa marudzi mazhinji kuti azorwa newe, segungwa rinorasa mafungu aro.
4 Njalo zizachitha imiduli yeTire, zibhidlizele phansi imiphotshongo yayo; ngiphale inhlabathi yayo kuyo, ngiyenze ibe lidwala elize.
Vachaparadza masvingo eTire uye vachaondomora shongwe dzaro; ndichakukurira marara aro kure ndigoriita dombo risina chinhu.
5 Izakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule, phakathi kolwandle; ngoba mina ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova; njalo izakuba yimpango yezizwe.
Richava nzvimbo yokuruka mimbure yehove kugungwa ikoko, nokuti ndakazvitaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Richava chinhu chinopambwa chendudzi,
6 Lamadodakazi ayo asensimini azabulawa ngenkemba. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
uye ugaro hwaro hwokumaruwa huchaparadzwa nomunondo. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
7 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizaletha phezu kweTire uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, inkosi yamakhosi, evela enyakatho, elamabhiza, lezinqola, labagadi bamabhiza, lamaxuku, labantu abanengi.
“Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndichauyisira Tire Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, mambo wamadzimambo, achibva nechokumusoro, ana mabhiza nengoro, navatasvi vamabhiza nehondo huru.
8 Uzabulala ngenkemba amadodakazi akho ensimini, enze umduli wokuvimbezela emelene lawe, abuthelele idundulu emelene lawe, aphakamise isihlangu esikhulu simelene lawe.
Achaparadza ugaro hwamaruwa ako nomunondo, achakuvakira nhare dzokurwa newe, uye achavaka mirwi yokurwa pamasvingo ako agosimudza nhoo dzokukurwisa nadzo.
9 Uzamisa imigqala yokudiliza imelane lemiduli yakho, adilizele phansi imiphotshongo yakho ngezinkemba zakhe.
Achatuma zvokuparadza nazvo masvingo ako agokoromora shongwe dzako nezvombo zvake.
10 Ngenxa yobunengi bamabhiza akhe uthuli lwawo luzakusibekela; imiduli yakho izanyikinywa ngumsindo wabagadi bamabhiza lamavili lezinqola, nxa ezangena emasangweni akho, njengokungena emzini ofohlelwayo.
Mabhiza ake achawanda kwazvo zvokuti muchafukidzwa neguruva rawo. Masvingo ako achadengenyeka nomubvumo wamabhiza ehondo, nengoro dzamavhiri mana nengoro dzamavhiri maviri paanenge achipinda pamasuo ako somunhu anopinda muguta rina masvingo akaondomoka.
11 Ngamasondo amabhiza akhe uzanyathela zonke izitalada zakho; uzabulala abantu bakho ngenkemba, lensika zakho eziqinileyo ziwele emhlabathini.
Mahwanda amabhiza ake achatsika-tsika nzira dzako dzomumisha dzose; achauraya vanhu vako nomunondo, uye mbiru dzako dzakasimba dzichawira pasi.
12 Njalo bazaphanga inotho yakho, bathumbe impahla yakho ethengiswayo, badilizele phansi imiduli yakho, babhidlize izindlu zakho eziloyisekayo, bafake amatshe akho lezigodo zakho lothuli lwakho phakathi kwamanzi.
Vachapamba pfuma yako uye vachaba zvaunotengesa: vachakoromorera pasi masvingo ako uye vachaputsa dzimba dzako dzakaisvonaka uye vacharasa matombo ako nematanda namarara ako mukati megungwa.
13 Ngizakwenza kuphele umsindo wengoma zakho, lelizwi lamachacho akho kalisayikuzwakala.
Ndichagumisa mheremhere yenziyo dzako, uye kurira kwembira dzako hakuchazonzwikwazve.
14 Njalo ngizakwenza ube lidwala elize; uzakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule, kawusayikwakhiwa; ngoba mina Nkosi ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Ndichakuita dombo risina chinhu, uye uchava nzvimbo yokuyanika mimbure yehove. Hauchazovakwizve, nokuti ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
15 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kuyo iTire: Izihlenge kaziyikunyikinyeka yini ngomdumo wokuwa kwakho, lapho abalimeleyo bebubula, lapho kubulawa okubulawayo phakathi kwakho?
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kuTire: Ko, zviwi hazvichadengenyeki here pakunzwa mubvumo wokuwa kwako, vakakuvadzwa pavanenge vachigomera uye kuuraya kuchiitika mauri?
16 Khona zonke iziphathamandla zolwandle zizakwehla ezihlalweni zazo zobukhosi, zikhulule izigqoko zazo, zikhuphe izembatho zazo ezifekethisiweyo; zizembathise ukuthuthumela, zihlale emhlabathini, zithuthumele ngaso sonke isikhathi, zimangale kakhulu ngawe.
Ipapo machinda ose omuzviwi achaburuka pazvigaro zvawo zvoushe vagoisa nhumbi dzavo dzoushe parutivi uye vagobvisa vachidedera nguva dzose, vashamiswa newe.
17 Zizakuphakamisela isililo, zithi kuwe: Uchithwe njani ezinlwandle wena owawuhlalwa, umuzi olodumo, owawulamandla olwandle, wona labahlali bawo, abamisa ukwesabeka kwabo kuye wonke umhlali wawo!
Ipapo vachachema pamusoro pako vagoti kwauri: “‘Wakaparadzwa sei, iwe guta romukurumbira, wakanga uzere navanhu vomugungwa! Wakanga uri simba pamusoro pamakungwa, iwe navanhu vako; wakaisa kutya kwako pamusoro pavo vose vaigara ikoko.
18 Khathesi izihlenge zizathuthumela ngosuku lokuwa kwakho, yebo, izihlenge eziselwandle zizakhathazeka ngokuphuma kwakho.
Zvino zviwi zvinodengenyeka pazuva rokuwa kwako; zviwi zviri mugungwa zvavhundutswa nokuwa kwako.’
19 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lapho ngizakwenza ube ngumuzi olunxiwa, njengemizi engahlalwayo; lapho ngizakwenyusa ukujula phezu kwakho, lamanzi amanengi akusibekele;
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Pandichaita kuti guta rako rive dongo, samamwe maguta asingachagarwi uye pandinouyisa kudzika kwegungwa pamusoro pako uye mvura zhinji dzaro dzikakufukidza,
20 khona ngizakwehlisela phansi lalabo abehlela emgodini, ebantwini basendulo, ngikuhlalise ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba, emanxiweni asendulo, lalabo abehlela emgodini, ukuze ungahlalwa; njalo ngizabeka udumo elizweni labaphilayo.
ipapo ndichakuburutsa pamwe chete navaya vanoburukira kugomba, kuvanhu vakarekare.
21 Ngizakwenza ube ngokwesabekayo okukhulu, ungasabikho; lanxa udingwa, ungatholakali futhi kuze kube nininini, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Ndichakusvitsa kumagumo anotyisa uye hauchazovapozve. Uchatsvakwa, asi haungawanikwizve, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”
