Ezekieri 28
1 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:
2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, uti kumubati weTire, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Mukuzvikudza kwomwoyo wako iwe unoti, “Ini ndiri mwari; ndinogara pachigaro choushe chamwari, pakati pomwoyo wamakungwa.” Asi uri munhu zvako uye hauzi mwari, kunyange uchifunga kuti wakachenjera samwari.
Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, “I am a god, I sit in the seat of a god, in the midst of the seas”; and though thou art man, not God, yet settest thy heart as the heart of a god, —
3 Wakachenjera kukunda Dhanieri here? Hauna chakavanzika chausingazivi here?
behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which can be hidden from thee;
4 Wakazviwanira pfuma nouchenjeri hwako nokunzwisisa kwako, uye wakazviunganidzira goridhe nesirivha muzvivigiro zvepfuma yako.
by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver in thy treasures;
5 Wakawanza pfuma yako nouchenjeri hwako hwokutengesa, uye nokuda kwepfuma yako mwoyo wako wakazvikudza.
by thy great wisdom, by thy traffic, thou hast increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy wealth, —
6 “‘Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Nokuti unofunga kuti wakangwara, sokungwara kwamwari,
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou settest thy heart as the heart of a god, therefore,
7 ndava kuzouyisa vatorwa kuti vazokurwisa, rudzi rwakaipisisa pakati pendudzi dzose, vachavhomora minondo yavo kuti varwise kunaka nokuchenjera kwako, vagosvibisa kupenya kwokubwinya kwako.
behold, I will bring upon thee strangers, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 Vachakuburutsira kugomba, uye uchafa rufu runorwadza pakati pomwoyo wamakungwa.
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the death of the slain, in the midst of the seas.
9 Ipapo uchati here, “Ndiri mwari,” pamberi pavanokuuraya? Uchava munhu chete, kwete mwari, mumaoko aivo vanokuuraya.
Wilt thou yet say, “I am a god,” before him that slayeth thee? Thou shalt be man, and not God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
10 Uchafa rufu rwomunhu asina kudzingiswa pamaoko avatorwa. Ndazvitaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”
Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
11 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti:
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
12 “Mwanakomana womunhu, chemera mambo weTire ugoti kwaari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Wakanga uri muenzaniso wokukwana, uzere nouchenjeri wakakwana parunako.
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: —Thou wast a finished signet, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty;
13 Wakanga uri muEdheni, bindu raMwari; wakashongedzwa namatombo ose anokosha anoti: rubhi, tapazi neemeradhi, krisorite, onikisi, jasipa, safuri, turikoise nebheriri. Urongwa nezvitsigiro zvako zvakanga zvakagadzirwa negoridhe; zvakagadzirwa pazuva rokusikwa kwako.
In Eden, the garden of God, thou didst dwell; Every precious stone was thy covering, The ruby, the topaz, and the diamond, The chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, The sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy jewel-holes was within thee; On the day when thou wast born were they prepared.
14 Wakazodzwa sekerubhi rinorinda, nokuti ndiko kugadza kwandakakuita. Wakanga uri pamusoro pegomo dzvene raMwari; wakanga uchifamba pakati pamabwe omoto.
Thou wast an outspread, covering cherub; I set thee upon the holy mountain of God; Thou didst walk in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Wakanga usina chaungapomerwa panzira dzako, kubva pazuva rawakasikwa kusvikira kuipa pakwazowanikwa mauri.
Thou wast prosperous in thy ways from the day that thou wast born Until iniquity was found in thee.
16 Nokuwanda kwokushambadzira kwako wakabva wazara nechisimba, ndokubva watadza. Saka ndakakudzinga mukunyadziswa kubva pagomo raMwari, uye ndakakudzinga, iwe kerubhi rokurinda, kuti ubve pakati pamabwe omoto.
Through the abundance of thy merchandise thou art full of injustice; And thou hast sinned; Therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, And I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Mwoyo wako wakazvikudza nokuda kworunako rwako, uye wakaodza uchenjeri hwako nokuda kwokubwinya kwako. Saka ndakakukanda panyika; ndakakuita chinhu chinosekwa pamberi pamadzimambo.
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy splendor; I will cast thee to the ground; I will give thee up to kings to be their gazing-stock.
18 Nokuda kwokuwanda kwezvivi zvako, uye nokubiridzira kwako mukushambadzira, wakazvidza nzvimbo dzako tsvene. Saka ndakaita kuti moto ubude kubva mauri, ukakuparadza, uye ndakakupisa kusvikira wava madota panyika, pamberi pavose vaikuona.
By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries. Therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, which shall devour thee, And I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth, In the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 Ndudzi dzose dzaikuziva dzinoshamiswa newe; wasvika pamagumo akaipisisa uye hauchazovapozve.’”
All they that know thee among the nations shall be astonished at thee; Thou art become a desolation, and shalt exist no more forever.
20 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti:
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
21 “Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako pamusoro peSidhoni; uprofite pamusoro paro,
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against her,
22 uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Ndine mhaka newe, iwe Sidhoni, uye ndichazviwanira kukudzwa mukati mako. Vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichariranga ndigozviratidza mariri kuti ndiri mutsvene.
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee, and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I execute judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
23 Ndichatuma denda pamusoro paro ndigoita kuti ropa riyerere munzira dzaro. Vakaurayiwa vachawa mariri, nomunondo uchirirwisa kumativi ose. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
I will send upon her pestilence, and blood into her streets, and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword which is against her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
24 “‘Vanhu veIsraeri havachazovizve navavakidzani vanovagodora vachivarwadzisa sorukato runopinza. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.
And there shall be no more to the house of Israel a pricking brier, or a grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
25 “‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Pandinounganidza vanhu veIsraeri kubva kundudzi kwavakanga vakaparadzirwa, ndichazviratidza kuti ndiri mutsvene pakati pavo pamberi pendudzi. Ipapo vachagara munyika yavo pachavo, yandakapa muranda wangu Jakobho.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall gather the house of Israel from the nations among which they are scattered, then shall I be sanctified through them in the sight of the nations, and they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Vachagaramo norugare uye vachavaka dzimba nokusima minda yemizambiringa; vachagara norugare pandicharanga vavakidzani vavo vose vanovagodora. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo.’”
They shall dwell therein securely, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards, yea, they shall dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all that despised them round about; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, their God.
