Ezekieri 24

1 Mugore rechipfumbamwe, nomwedzi wegumi pazuva regumi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,

2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, nyora zita rezuva iri, zuva iro rino chairo, nokuti mambo weBhabhironi akomba Jerusarema pazuva irori.

Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.

3 Taurira imba yokumukira iyi mufananidzo, uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Gadza hadyana; igadze ugodira mvura mairi.

And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:

4 Uise mairi nhindi dzenyama, nhindi dzakanaka, gumbo nebandauko. Uizadze namapfupa akaisvonaka aya;

And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.

5 utore gwai rakasanangurwa. Uise huni pasi payo kuitira mapfupa; uivirise ugobika mapfupa imomo.

Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.

6 “‘Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Rine nhamo guta rinoteura ropa, nehadyana ine ngura, mukati mayo, ine ngura isingabvi. Budisai nhindi imwe neimwe musingakandi mijenya nokuda kwadzo.

For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.

7 “‘Nokuti ropa rarakateura riri pakati paro: Rakaridururira paruware pasina chinhu; harina kuriteurira pavhu, paringafukidzwa neguruva.

For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;

8 Kuti ndimutse hasha dzangu ndigotsiva ndakaisa ropa raro paruware pasina chinhu kuti rirege kufukidzwa.

In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.

9 “‘Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Rine nhamo guta rinoteura ropa! Neniwo, ndichaunganidza huni dzakawanda.

For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.

10 Saka tutira huni ugobatidza moto. Ubike nyama zvakanaka, uchisanganisa nezvinonhuhwira; uye urege mapfupa atsve.

Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.

11 Ipapo ugoisa hadyana isina chinhu pamazimbe kusvikira yapisa ndarira yayo yanʼaima kuti kusachena kwayo kunyauke uye tsvina yayo itsve yose.

And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.

12 Zvakunda kushingaira kwangu kwose; tsvina yayo zhinji haina kubviswa, kunyange nomoto chaiwo.

I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.

13 “‘Zvino kusachena kwako ndihwo unzenza hwako. Nokuti ndakaedza kukunatsa asi hauna kunatswa pakusachena kwako, hauchazonatswizve kusvikira hasha dzangu dzabva pamusoro pako.

As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.

14 “‘Ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura. Nguva yangu yokuzviita yasvika. Handingaregi; handinganzwiri ngoni, uye handingazvidembi. Uchatongwa zvakafanira mabasa ako namafambiro ako, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”

I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.

15 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

16 “Mwanakomana womunhu, ndava kuzokutorera uyo anofadza meso ako kamwe chete. Asi usachema kana kuungudza kana kubudisa misodzi.

Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.

17 Gomera chinyararire; usachema akafa. Gara wakasunga nguwani yako zvakasimba uye neshangu dziri mumakumbo ako; urege kufumbira zasi kwouso hwako kana kudya zvokudya zvavanochema.”

Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.

18 Saka mangwanani ndakataura kuvanhu, uye mukadzi wangu akafa madekwana. Fume mangwana, ndakaita zvandakanga ndarayirwa.

So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.

19 Ipapo vanhu vakandibvunza vachiti, “Haungatiudzi kuti zvinhu izvi zvinorevei kwatiri here?”

And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?

20 Saka ndakati kwavari, “Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 Uti kuimba yaIsraeri, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndava pedyo nokusvibisa nzvimbo yangu tsvene, iyo nhare yamunozvirumbidza nayo, iwo mufaro wamaziso enyu, nechinhu chamunoda. Vanakomana navanasikana vamakasiya vachaurayiwa nomunondo.

Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

22 Uye imi muchaita sezvandakaita. Hamungazofumbiri zasi kwezviso zvenyu kana kudya zvokudya zvavanochema.

And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.

23 Mucharega nguwani dzenyu dziri mumisoro yenyu neshangu dziri mumakumbo enyu. Hamungaungudzi kana kuchema asi muchaonda nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu uye muchagomera pakati penyu.

And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.

24 Ezekieri achava chiratidzo kwamuri; muchaita sezvaakaita. Panoitika izvi, imi muchaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.’

And Ezekiel will be a sign to you; everything he has done you will do: when this takes place, you will be certain that I am the Lord.

25 “Uye iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, pazuva randichavatorera nhare dzavo mufaro wavo nokukudzwa kwavo, mufaro wamaziso avo, chishuvo chemwoyo yavo, uye vanakomana navanasikana vavowo,

And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.

26 pazuva iro mutizi achauya kuzokuudza zvinenge zvaitika.

In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.

27 Panguva iyoyo muromo wako uchazaruka; uchataura naye uye hauchazonyararizve. Saka iwe uchava chiratidzo kwavari, uye vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”

In that day your mouth will be open to him who has got away safe, and you will say words to him and your lips will no longer be shut: so you will be a sign to them and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
