< Jeremia 30 >
1 Iri ndiro shoko rakauya kuna Jeremia richibva kuna Jehovha richiti,
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Nyora mubhuku mashoko ose andakakuudza.
Thus speaketh Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write thee in a book all the words that I have spoken unto thee.
3 Mazuva anouya,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘andichadzosa vanhu vangu, vaIsraeri navaJudha kubva kuutapwa. Uye ndichavadzosera kunyika yandakapa madzitateguru avo kuti ive yavo,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.”
For behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 Aya ndiwo mashoko akataurwa naJehovha pamusoro peIsraeri neJudha:
And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah;
5 “Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Tinonzwa kuchema kwevanotya, kwokutyisidzirwa, kwete kworugare.
for thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, there is fear, and no peace.
6 Bvunzai muone: Ko, murume angagona kusununguka mwana here? Zvino, seiko ndichiona murume mumwe nomumwe akasimba akabata padumbu pake namaoko ake somukadzi orwadziwa, zviso zvose zvachenuruka?
Ask ye now, and see, whether a male doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail; and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Haiwa, zuva iro richatyisa seiko! Hakuna richafanana naro. Ichava nguva yaJakobho yokutambudzika, asi achaponeswa pairi.
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 “‘Pazuva iro,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ‘Ndichavhuna joko pamitsipa yavo uye ndichadambura zvisungo zvavo; havachazoitwizve varanda navatorwa.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more reduce him to servitude.
9 Asi, vachashumira Jehovha Mwari wavo naDhavhidhi mambo wavo, iye wandichavamutsira.
But they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 “‘Saka, usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu; usavhunduka, iwe Israeri,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Zvirokwazvo ndichakuponesa kubva kunyika iri kure, zvizvarwa zvako kubva kunyika youtapwa hwavo. Jakobho achavazve norunyararo uye nokuchengetedzeka, uye hakuna achazomutyisa.
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
11 Ndinewe uye ndichakuponesa,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Kunyange zvazvo ndakaparadza chose ndudzi dzose dzandakakuparadzira pakati padzo, handingazokuparadze zvachose iwe. Ndichakuranga asi nokururamisira chete; handingakusiyi usina kurangwa zvachose.’
For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee; yet of thee will I not make a full end, but I will correct thee with judgment, and will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
12 “Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Ronda rako harirapiki, kukuvadzwa kwako hakupori.
For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous.
13 Hakuna anokureverera mhaka yako, vanga rako harina mushonga, hapana kuporeswa kwako.
There is none to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]; thou hast no healing medicines.
14 Vose vaikuda vakakukanganwa; havachina hanya newe. Ndakakurova sezvinoitwa nomuvengi ndikakuranga sezvinoitwa neano utsinye nokuti mhosva yako ihuru uye zvivi zvako zvakawanda.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity: thy sins are manifold.
15 Unochemeiko pamusoro pevanga rako, nokurwadziswa kwako kusingarapike? Nokuda kwokukura kwemhaka yako nezvivi zvizhinji ndakaita zvinhu izvi kwauri.
Why criest thou because of thy bruise? thy sorrow is incurable; for the greatness of thine iniquity, [because] thy sins are manifold, I have done these things unto thee.
16 “‘Asi vose vanokudya iwe vachadyiwawo; vavengi vako vose vachaenda kuutapwa. Vanokupamba, vachapambwawo; vose vanokuparadza, ndichavaparadzawo.
Therefore all that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be for a spoil; and all they that prey upon thee will I give to be a prey.
17 Asi ndichakudzorera pautano uye ndichaporesa maronda ako,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘nokuti iwe wakanzi murashwa, Zioni zvaro risina ane hanya naro.’
For I will apply a bandage unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; for they have called thee an outcast: This is Zion that no man seeketh after.
18 “Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Ndichadzosazve pfuma yamatende aJakobho uye ndichanzwira ugaro hwake tsitsi; guta richavakwazve pamatongo aro, nomuzinda uchamira panzvimbo yawo yakafanira.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof.
19 Nziyo dzokuvonga dzichabva kwavari uye nenzwi romufaro. Ndichawedzera kuwanda kwavo, uye havangatapudzwi; ndichavavigira kukudzwa, uye havangadukupiswi,
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small.
20 Vana vavo vachava sepamazuva ekare, uye ungano yavo ichasimbiswa pamberi pangu; ndicharanga vose vanovamanikidza.
And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.
21 Mutungamiri wavo achava mumwe wokwavo; anovabata ushe achamutswa pakati pavo. Ndichamuswededza pedyo uye iye achaswedera pedyo neni, nokuti ndianiko achazvipira kuti ave pedyo neni?’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to approach, and he shall draw near unto me. For who is this that engageth his heart to draw near unto me? saith Jehovah.
22 ‘Saka muchava vanhu vangu, neni ndichava Mwari wenyu.’”
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Tarirai, dutu raJehovha richaputika mukutsamwa kwake, mhepo inovhuvhuta ichimona pamisoro yavakaipa.
Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.
24 Kutsamwa kunotyisa kwaJehovha hakungadzoki, kusvikira apedza zvinovavarirwa nomwoyo wake. Mumazuva anouya muchanzwisisa izvozvi.
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart. At the end of the days ye shall consider it.
