Ezekieri 35

1 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako pamusoro peGomo reSeiri; uprofite pamusoro paro,

“Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it

3 uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndine mhaka newe iwe Gomo reSeiri, uye ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kuzorwa newe ndigokuita dongo raparadzwa.

Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.

4 Ndichashandura maguta ako akava matongo uye iwe uchaparadzwa. Ipapo uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.

5 “‘Nemhaka yokuti wakafundira ruvengo rwako rwakare ukaisa vaIsraeri kumunondo panguva yenjodzi yavo, panguva iyo kurangwa kwavo kwakanga kwasvika pamusoro-soro,

Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.

6 naizvozvo, noupenyu hwangu zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, ndichakuisa kukuteura ropa uye richakuteverera. Sezvo usina kuvenga kuteura ropa, kuteura ropa kuchakuteverera.

So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.

7 Ndichaita kuti Gomo reSeiri rive dongo uye ndichaparadza vose vanopinda napo uye nevanobuda napo.

I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.

8 Ndichazadza makomo ako navakaurayiwa; vaya vakaurayiwa nomunondo vachawira pazvikomo nomumipata yenyu uye nomunzizi dzenyu dzose.

I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.

9 Ndichakuparadza nokusingaperi, maguta ako haachazogarwi. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.

10 “‘Nemhaka yokuti iwe wakati, “Ndudzi mbiri idzi nenyika idzi dzichava dzedu uye tichadzitora,” kunyange dai ini Jehovha ndaivapo,

Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’

11 naizvozvo, noupenyu hwangu zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, ndichakuitira zvakafanira kutsamwa negodo rawakaratidza mukuvavenga kwako uye ndichaita kuti vandizive pakati pavo pandichakutonga.

then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.

12 Ipapo uchaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndakanzwa zvose zvinonyadza zvawakataura zvinorwisa makomo eIsraeri. Iwe wakati, “Akaparadzwa uye akapiwa kwatiri kuti tiadye.”

You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’

13 Wakazvirumbidza pamusoro pangu uye wakataura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu usingazvidzori, uye ini ndakazvinzwa.

You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!

14 Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Panguva inofara nyika yose, ini ndichakuita dongo.

This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.

15 Nokuti iwe wakafara panguva yakaparadzwa nhaka yeimba yaIsraeri, ndizvo zvandichakuitirawo iwe. Uchava dongo, iwe Gomo reSeiri, iwe neEdhomu yose. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”

Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
