Jeremia 48
1 Pamusoro peMoabhu: Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: “Ine nhamo Nebho, nokuti ichaparadzwa. Kiriataimi ichanyadziswa uye ichakundwa; nhare dzichanyadziswa uye dzichaparadzwa.
Against Moab. Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto Nebo! for it is wasted; made ashamed, captured is Kiryathayim; made ashamed is Misgab and dismayed.
2 Moabhu haichazorumbidzwizve; muHeshibhoni varume vacharangana nezvokuwa kwaro, vachiti: ‘Uyai, tiparadze rudzi urwo.’ Newewo, iwe Madhimeni uchati mwiro; munondo uchakutevera.
There is no more praise of Moab: in Cheshbon have they devised evil against it, “Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.” Also thou Madmen shalt be ruined; after thee shall pursue the sword.
3 Inzwai kuchema kunobva kuHoronaimi, kuchema kwokukoromorwa nokuparadzwa kukuru.
There is a voice of crying from Choronayim, destruction and a great breach.
4 Moabhu ichaputswa; vana vadiki varo vacharidza mhere.
Broken down is Moab: her little ones send forth a cry of distress.
5 Vachakwira nomukwidza weRuhiti, vachichema zvikuru pakuenda kwavo; pamateru enzira yokuHoronaimi kuchema kwokurwadziwa pamusoro pokuparadza kunonzwika.
For the ascent of Luchith is ascended with weeping and tears; for on the descent of Choronayim the enemies have heard the cry of destruction.
6 Tizai! Mhanyai muponese upenyu hwenyu; mufanane negwenzi riri mugwenga.
Flee, save your life, and be ye like the solitary tree in the wilderness.
7 Sezvo muchivimba namabasa uye nepfuma yenyu, nemiwo muchatapwa, uye Kemoshi ichaenda kuutapwa, pamwe chete navaprista namachinda ayo.
For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be conquered: and Kemosh shall go forth into exile, [with] his priests and his princes together.
8 Muparadzi acharwa namaguta ose ose, uye hapana guta richapunyuka. Mupata uchaparadzwa, uye mutunhu wakakwirira uchaparadzwa nokuti Jehovha azvitaura.
And the water shall come over every city, and no city shall escape: and lost shall be the valley, and destroyed shall be the plain, as the Lord hath said.
9 Isai munyu pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuti ichaparadzwa; maguta ayo achava matongo, asina achazogaramo.
Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; since her cities shall become desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 “Ngaatukwe uyo anobata basa raJehovha asina hanya! Ngaatukwe uyo anodzora munondo wake pakuteura ropa!
Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.
11 “Moabhu anga ane zororo kubvira pauduku hwake, sewaini yasarira mumasese, isina kudirwa kubva muno mumwe mudziyo ichiiswa muno mumwe, haana kuenda kuutapwa. Saka anongotapira sezvaakanga ari, uye kunhuhwira kwake hakuna kushanduka.
Moab was ever at ease from his youth, and he was resting on his lees, and was not emptied from vessel to vessel, and had not gone into exile: therefore had his taste remained in him, and his scent was not changed.
12 Asi mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichatuma varume vanodurura zvinobva mumudziyo, uye vachadururira pasi; vachasiya midziyo isina chinhu uye vagoputsa midziyo yake.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will send unto him tappers, that shall tap him, and they shall empty his vessels, and dash in pieces their bottles.
13 Ipapo Moabhu achanyadziswa neKemoshi, sokunyadziswa kwakaitwa imba yaIsraeri pavakavimba neBheteri.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Kemosh, as the house of Israel were made ashamed because of Beth-el their confidence.
14 “Ungataura sei, uchiti, ‘Tiri mhare, varume vakatsunga muhondo’?
How can ye say, We are mighty and men of bravery for the war?
15 Moabhu ichaparadzwa, uye maguta ayo acharwiswa; majaya ake akaisvonaka achaburukira kundourayiwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mambo, ane zita rinonzi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
Moab is wasted, and into his cities hath [the enemy] ascended, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name.
16 “Kuwa kweMoabhu kwava pedyo; njodzi yayo ichasvika nokukurumidza.
Near is the calamity of Moab to come, and his misfortune hasteneth fast.
17 Ichemei, imi mose mugere makaipoteredza, vose vanoziva mukurumbira wayo; muti, ‘Yavhunika seiko tsvimbo yakasimba, wavhunika seiko mudonzvo wakaisvonaka!’
All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name: say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful stick!
18 “Burukai pakukudzwa kwenyu mugare pavhu rakaoma, imi vagari voMwanasikana weDhibhoni, nokuti iye anoparadza Moabhu achauya kuzokurwisai, uye agoparadza maguta enyu akakomberedzwa.
Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, thou inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; for the waster of Moab cometh up against thee, he destroyeth thy strong-holds.
19 Mirai panzira mutarire, imi vagari vemuAroeri. Bvunzai murume ari kutiza nomukadzi apunyuka, muvabvunze kuti, ‘Chii chaitika?’
Stand by the way, and look out, O inhabitress of 'Aro'er: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, say, What hath been done?
20 Moabhu yanyadziswa, nokuti yaparadzwa. Ungudzai uye muridze mhere! Zvizivisei paArinoni kuti Moabhu yaparadzwa.
Moab hath been made ashamed; for it is broken down; wail, and cry aloud: tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is wasted,
21 Kutonga kwasvika kumutunhu wakakwirira, kuHoroni, Jahaza neMefaati,
And punishment is come over the land of the plain, over Cholon, and over Yahzah, and over Mepha'ath,
22 kuDhibhoni, Nebho neBheti Dhibhirataimu,
And over Dibon, and over Nebo, and over Beth-diblathayim,
23 kuKiriataimu, neBheti Gamuri neBheti Meoni,
And over Kiryathayim, and over Beth-gamul, and over Beth-me'on,
24 kuKerioti neBhozira, nokumaguta ose eMoabhu ari kure neari pedyo.
And over Keriyoth, and over Bozrah, and over all the cities of the land of Moab, that are far and that are near.
25 Runyanga rweMoabhu rwagurwa; ruoko rwake rwavhunika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Hewn away is the horn of Moab, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
26 “Itai kuti adhakwe, nokuti iye azvidza Jehovha. Regai Moabhu aumburuke mumarutsi ake; ngaave chinhu chinosekwa.
Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall become [an object] of derision.
27 Ko, Israeri haana kuva chinhu chinosekwa nemi here? Ko, akabatwa ari pakati pembavha here, zvamunodzungudza musoro wenyu muchimushora pose pamunotaura nezvake?
For was not Israel a derision unto thee? or was he found among thieves? that whenever thou spokest of him, thou hadst to shake [thy head]?
28 Siyai maguta enyu mundogara pakati pamatombo, imi mugere muMoabhu. Itai senjiva inovaka dendere rayo pamuromo webako.
Leave the cities, and dwell on rocks, O ye that dwell in Moab; and be ye like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the mouth of rocky clefts.
29 “Takanzwa nezvokuzvikudza kweMoabhu, manyawi nokudada kwavo kukuru uye kuzvikudza kwakanyanya, kuzvikudza kwavo nokuzvitutumadza namanyawi emwoyo wayo.
We have heard the pride of Moab, who is so exceedingly proud, his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the overbearingness of his heart.
30 Ndinoziva kusindimara kwayo asi hakuna maturo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye kuzvikudza kwake kuzhinji hakuna zvakunoreva.
I will know, saith the Lord, his wrath, and how causeless it is: his liars have done what is not right.
31 Naizvozvo ndinoungudza pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuda kweMoabhu yose ndinodanidzira, ndinochema varume veKiri Hareseti.
Therefore will I wail for Moab, and for all Moab will I cry out; for the men of Kir-cheres shall people moan.
32 Ndinokuchema sokuchema kunoita Jazeri, haiwa imi mazambiringa eGibhima. Matavi enyu akatandavara kundosvika kugungwa; akandosvika kugungwa reJazeri. Muparadzi awira pamichero yako yaibva namazambiringa.
With the weeping of Ya'zer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy tendrils [once] passed over the sea, they reached as far as to the sea of Ya'zer: over thy summer-fruits and over thy vintage the waster is fallen.
33 Mufaro nokufarisisa zvaenda, zvabva muminda yemichero nomuminda yeMoabhu. Ndagumisa kuyerera kwewaini inobva pazvisviniro; hakuna achazvitsika achidanidzira nomufaro. Kunyange pano kudanidzira, hakusi kudanidzira kwomufaro.
And banished are joy and gladness from Carmel, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused the wine to cease from the wine-presses; none shall tread the press with the vintner's call; battle cry—nor vintner's call.
34 “Inzwi rokuchema kwavo rinokwira richibva kuHeshibhoni kusvikira kuErieri neJahazi, kubva kuZoari kusvikira kuHoronaimi neEgirati Sherishiya, nokuti kunyange nemvura dzeNimirimi dzapwa.
From the loud cry of Cheshbon as far as El'aleh, even unto Yahaz, have they sent forth their voice, from Zo'ar even unto Choronayim, to the third 'Eglath; for the waters also of Nimrim shall become desolate.
35 Ndichaisa magumo muMoabhu, kuna avo vanopa zvipiriso panzvimbo dzakakwirira, uye vanopisira zvinonhuhwira kuna vamwari vavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Moreover will I cause to cease unto Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth on the high-places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 “Saka mwoyo wangu unorira senyere pamusoro peMoabhu; unorira senyere pamusoro pavarume veKiri Hareseti. Pfuma yavakawana yapera.
Therefore shall my heart groan for Moab like flutes, and my heart shall groan like flutes for the men of Kir-cheres; for the cause that the remnant of the riches he had gotten are lost.
37 Musoro mumwe nomumwe wakaveurwa, uye ndebvu dzose dzakagurirwa; ruoko rumwe norumwe rwakagurwa, uye zviuno zvose zvakafukidzwa namasaga.
For every head is bald, and every beard is shorn: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins is sackcloth.
38 Pamusoro pamatenga ose eMoabhu napazvivara hakuna chiriko kunze kwokuchema, nokuti ndaputsa Moabhu sedende risina anorida,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Upon all the roofs of Moab, and in her streets, there is everywhere lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel which hath no value, saith the Lord.
39 “Akoromorwa sei! Vaungudza sei! Hoyo Moabhu afuratira nokuda kwokunyadziswa! Moabhu yava chinhu chinosekwa, chinhu chinonyangadza kuna vose vakaipoteredza.”
Oh, how is it broken down! wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! and Moab shall be a derision and a dismay to all those around him.
40 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Tarirai achabhururuka segondo, rakatambanudzira mapapiro aro pamusoro peMoabhu.
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, as the eagle shall he fly, and he shall spread out his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioti ichatapwa uye nhare dzichatorwa. Pazuva iro mwoyo yemhare dzeMoabhu ichafanana nomwoyo womukadzi ari kurwadziwa.
Captured are the fortresses, and the strong-holds are conquered: and the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be on that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moabhu ichaparadzwa serudzi nokuti yakazvidza Jehovha.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people; because it hath magnified himself against the Lord.
43 Kutya negomba nomusungo zvakakumirirai, imi vanhu veMoabhu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Terror, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44 “Ani naani achatiza njodzi iyi achawira mugomba, ani naani achakwira achibuda mugomba, achabatwa mumusungo; nokuti ndichauyisa pamusoro peMoabhu gore rokurangwa kwake,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
He that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
45 “Mumumvuri weHeshibhoni vatizi vanomirapo vasina simba, nokuti moto wabuda uchibva kuHeshibhoni, murazvo pakati peSihoni; unopisa huma dzaMoabhu, misoro yavanozvikudza vemheremhere.
Under the shadow of Cheshbon stand still, deprived of strength, those that flee; but a fire cometh forth out of Cheshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sichon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of vaunting.
46 Une nhamo, iwe Moabhu! Vanhu veKemoshi vaparara; vanakomana vako vakaendeswa kuutapwa navanasikana vako muutapwa.
Woe unto thee, O Moab! lost is the people of Kemosh; for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters into captivity.
47 “Kunyange zvakadaro ndichadzosazve pfuma yeMoabhu pamazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Pano ndipo panogumira kutongwa kweMoabhu.
Yet will I bring back again the captivity of Moab in the end of days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the punishment of Moab.
