Ezekieri 26

1 Mugore regumi nerimwe, pazuva rokutanga romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, nokuda kwokuti Tire yakati kuJerusarema, ‘Toko waro! Suo rokundudzi raputsika, uye makonhi aro azarukira kwandiri; zvino zvarava dongo ini ndichabudirira,’

Son of man, Because Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem. Aha! She is broken that was the doors of the peoples. She is turned unto me, — I shall be filled, She is laid waste,

3 naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndiri kukurwisa, iwe Tire, uye ndichauyisa marudzi mazhinji kuti azorwa newe, segungwa rinorasa mafungu aro.

Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee O Tyre, — So then I will bring up against thee many nations, As the sea bringeth up its rolling waves;

4 Vachaparadza masvingo eTire uye vachaondomora shongwe dzaro; ndichakukurira marara aro kure ndigoriita dombo risina chinhu.

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre. And break down her towers, And I will scrape clean her dust from off her, —And make of her the glaring face of a cliff:

5 Richava nzvimbo yokuruka mimbure yehove kugungwa ikoko, nokuti ndakazvitaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Richava chinhu chinopambwa chendudzi,

A place for the spreading of nets, shall she become, in the midst of the sea, For, I, have spoken Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, -And she shall become a prey to the nations.

6 uye ugaro hwaro hwokumaruwa huchaparadzwa nomunondo. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

And her daughters that are in the field: with the sword shall be slain: So shall they know that I am Yahweh.

7 “Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndichauyisira Tire Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, mambo wamadzimambo, achibva nechokumusoro, ana mabhiza nengoro, navatasvi vamabhiza nehondo huru.

For thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! bringing against Tyre. Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon out of the North. a king of kings, —with horses and with chariots and with horsemen, and a gathered host, and much people.

8 Achaparadza ugaro hwamaruwa ako nomunondo, achakuvakira nhare dzokurwa newe, uye achavaka mirwi yokurwa pamasvingo ako agosimudza nhoo dzokukurwisa nadzo.

Thy daughters in the field—with the sword, shall he slay, - And shall set against thee a siege-wall And cast up against thee an earthwork, And set up against thee a large shield;

9 Achatuma zvokuparadza nazvo masvingo ako agokoromora shongwe dzako nezvombo zvake.

And the stroke of his attacking-engine, will he direct against thy walls, — And thy towers, will he break down with his axes.

10 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.

By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee, — At the noise of horseman and wheel and chariot, shall thy walls tremble, when he entereth into thy gates Just as they do who enter a city broken open.

11 Mahwanda amabhiza ake achatsika-tsika nzira dzako dzomumisha dzose; achauraya vanhu vako nomunondo, uye mbiru dzako dzakasimba dzichawira pasi.

With the hoofs of his horses, shall he tread down all thy streets, — Thy people-with the sword, shall he slay, And thy pillars of strength to the earth, shall go down.

12 Vachapamba pfuma yako uye vachaba zvaunotengesa: vachakoromorera pasi masvingo ako uye vachaputsa dzimba dzako dzakaisvonaka uye vacharasa matombo ako nematanda namarara ako mukati megungwa.

And they shall spoil thy wealth And make a prey of thy merchandise, And break down thy walls And thy pleasant houses, shall they lay in ruins; And thy stones and thy timber and thy dust—in the midst of the waters, shall they lay.

13 Ndichagumisa mheremhere yenziyo dzako, uye kurira kwembira dzako hakuchazonzwikwazve.

And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, shall not be heard any more.

14 Ndichakuita dombo risina chinhu, uye uchava nzvimbo yokuyanika mimbure yehove. Hauchazovakwizve, nokuti ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

And I will make of thee the glaring face of a cliff. A place for the spreading of nets, shalt thou become, Thou shalt not be but any more, For I. Yahweh have spoken it, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

15 “Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kuTire: Ko, zviwi hazvichadengenyeki here pakunzwa mubvumo wokuwa kwako, vakakuvadzwa pavanenge vachigomera uye kuuraya kuchiitika mauri?

Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, to Tyre: Shall it not be that. At the sound of thy fall. With the groan of thy pierced one. With the slaughter made in thy midst, The Coastlands shall tremble?

16 Ipapo machinda ose omuzviwi achaburuka pazvigaro zvawo zvoushe vagoisa nhumbi dzavo dzoushe parutivi uye vagobvisa vachidedera nguva dzose, vashamiswa newe.

Then shall come down from off their thrones all the princes of the sea, And shall lay aside their robes. And their embroidered garments, shall strip off, — With tremblings, shall they clothe them. selves Upon the ground, shall they sit, And shall tremble every moment and be astonished over thee.

17 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.

Then shall they take up over thee a dirge, And say to thee, - How hast thou perished, And ceased from the seas, - The city renowned which was strong in the sea She and they who dwelt in her, Who imparted their terror To all who dwelt in her.

18 Zvino zviwi zvinodengenyeka pazuva rokuwa kwako; zviwi zviri mugungwa zvavhundutswa nokuwa kwako.’

Now, shall tremble the Coastlands, In the day of thy fall, - And shall shudder the isles that are in the sea. At thine exit!

19 “Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Pandichaita kuti guta rako rive dongo, samamwe maguta asingachagarwi uye pandinouyisa kudzika kwegungwa pamusoro pako uye mvura zhinji dzaro dzikakufukidza,

For thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When I make thee a desolate city, Like cities which cannot be dwelt in, - When I bring up over thee the roaring deep, And the mighty waters cover thee,

20 ipapo ndichakuburutsa pamwe chete navaya vanoburukira kugomba, kuvanhu vakarekare.

Then will I bring thee down with them that go down into the pit. Unto the people of age-past times And cause thee to dwell in the earth below Among the desolations from age-past times With them that go down into the pit That thou mayest not be dwelt in, Nor yet present thyself in the land of the living.

21 Ndichakusvitsa kumagumo anotyisa uye hauchazovapozve. Uchatsvakwa, asi haungawanikwizve, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”

A terror, will I make thee And thou shalt not be: Though thou be sought for, Thou shalt not be found any more To times age-abiding, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
