Ezekieri 24
1 Mugore rechipfumbamwe, nomwedzi wegumi pazuva regumi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, nyora zita rezuva iri, zuva iro rino chairo, nokuti mambo weBhabhironi akomba Jerusarema pazuva irori.
"Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
3 Taurira imba yokumukira iyi mufananidzo, uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Gadza hadyana; igadze ugodira mvura mairi.
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:
4 Uise mairi nhindi dzenyama, nhindi dzakanaka, gumbo nebandauko. Uizadze namapfupa akaisvonaka aya;
gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 utore gwai rakasanangurwa. Uise huni pasi payo kuitira mapfupa; uivirise ugobika mapfupa imomo.
Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst."'
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.
"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it.
7 “‘Nokuti ropa rarakateura riri pakati paro: Rakaridururira paruware pasina chinhu; harina kuriteurira pavhu, paringafukidzwa neguruva.
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
8 Kuti ndimutse hasha dzangu ndigotsiva ndakaisa ropa raro paruware pasina chinhu kuti rirege kufukidzwa.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.'
9 “‘Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Rine nhamo guta rinoteura ropa! Neniwo, ndichaunganidza huni dzakawanda.
"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will make the pile great.
10 Saka tutira huni ugobatidza moto. Ubike nyama zvakanaka, uchisanganisa nezvinonhuhwira; uye urege mapfupa atsve.
Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
11 Ipapo ugoisa hadyana isina chinhu pamazimbe kusvikira yapisa ndarira yayo yanʼaima kuti kusachena kwayo kunyauke uye tsvina yayo itsve yose.
Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
12 Zvakunda kushingaira kwangu kwose; tsvina yayo zhinji haina kubviswa, kunyange nomoto chaiwo.
She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by fire.
13 “‘Zvino kusachena kwako ndihwo unzenza hwako. Nokuti ndakaedza kukunatsa asi hauna kunatswa pakusachena kwako, hauchazonatswizve kusvikira hasha dzangu dzabva pamusoro pako.
In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
14 “‘Ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura. Nguva yangu yokuzviita yasvika. Handingaregi; handinganzwiri ngoni, uye handingazvidembi. Uchatongwa zvakafanira mabasa ako namafambiro ako, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”
I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says Jehovah."
15 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Also the word of Jehovah 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, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Gomera chinyararire; usachema akafa. Gara wakasunga nguwani yako zvakasimba uye neshangu dziri mumakumbo ako; urege kufumbira zasi kwouso hwako kana kudya zvokudya zvavanochema.”
Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."
18 Saka mangwanani ndakataura kuvanhu, uye mukadzi wangu akafa madekwana. Fume mangwana, ndakaita zvandakanga ndarayirwa.
So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Ipapo vanhu vakandibvunza vachiti, “Haungatiudzi kuti zvinhu izvi zvinorevei kwatiri here?”
The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"
20 Saka ndakati kwavari, “Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Then I said to them, "The word of Jehovah 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.
'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says Jehovah: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 Uye imi muchaita sezvandakaita. Hamungazofumbiri zasi kwezviso zvenyu kana kudya zvokudya zvavanochema.
You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 Mucharega nguwani dzenyu dziri mumisoro yenyu neshangu dziri mumakumbo enyu. Hamungaungudzi kana kuchema asi muchaonda nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu uye muchagomera pakati penyu.
Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
24 Ezekieri achava chiratidzo kwamuri; muchaita sezvaakaita. Panoitika izvi, imi muchaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.’
Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am Jehovah."'"
25 “Uye iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, pazuva randichavatorera nhare dzavo mufaro wavo nokukudzwa kwavo, mufaro wamaziso avo, chishuvo chemwoyo yavo, uye vanakomana navanasikana vavowo,
"You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
26 pazuva iro mutizi achauya kuzokuudza zvinenge zvaitika.
that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
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 opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
