Jeremia 48
1 Pamusoro peMoabhu: Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: “Ine nhamo Nebho, nokuti ichaparadzwa. Kiriataimi ichanyadziswa uye ichakundwa; nhare dzichanyadziswa uye dzichaparadzwa.
Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2 Moabhu haichazorumbidzwizve; muHeshibhoni varume vacharangana nezvokuwa kwaro, vachiti: ‘Uyai, tiparadze rudzi urwo.’ Newewo, iwe Madhimeni uchati mwiro; munondo uchakutevera.
The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3 Inzwai kuchema kunobva kuHoronaimi, kuchema kwokukoromorwa nokuparadzwa kukuru.
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4 Moabhu ichaputswa; vana vadiki varo vacharidza mhere.
Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Vachakwira nomukwidza weRuhiti, vachichema zvikuru pakuenda kwavo; pamateru enzira yokuHoronaimi kuchema kwokurwadziwa pamusoro pokuparadza kunonzwika.
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Tizai! Mhanyai muponese upenyu hwenyu; mufanane negwenzi riri mugwenga.
Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Sezvo muchivimba namabasa uye nepfuma yenyu, nemiwo muchatapwa, uye Kemoshi ichaenda kuutapwa, pamwe chete navaprista namachinda ayo.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, 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.
The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9 Isai munyu pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuti ichaparadzwa; maguta ayo achava matongo, asina achazogaramo.
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10 “Ngaatukwe uyo anobata basa raJehovha asina hanya! Ngaatukwe uyo anodzora munondo wake pakuteura ropa!
“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back 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 has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is 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, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13 Ipapo Moabhu achanyadziswa neKemoshi, sokunyadziswa kwakaitwa imba yaIsraeri pavakavimba neBheteri.
Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 “Ungataura sei, uchiti, ‘Tiri mhare, varume vakatsunga muhondo’?
“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men 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 laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
16 “Kuwa kweMoabhu kwava pedyo; njodzi yayo ichasvika nokukurumidza.
“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 Ichemei, imi mose mugere makaipoteredza, vose vanoziva mukurumbira wayo; muti, ‘Yavhunika seiko tsvimbo yakasimba, wavhunika seiko mudonzvo wakaisvonaka!’
All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
18 “Burukai pakukudzwa kwenyu mugare pavhu rakaoma, imi vagari voMwanasikana weDhibhoni, nokuti iye anoparadza Moabhu achauya kuzokurwisai, uye agoparadza maguta enyu akakomberedzwa.
“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Mirai panzira mutarire, imi vagari vemuAroeri. Bvunzai murume ari kutiza nomukadzi apunyuka, muvabvunze kuti, ‘Chii chaitika?’
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
20 Moabhu yanyadziswa, nokuti yaparadzwa. Ungudzai uye muridze mhere! Zvizivisei paArinoni kuti Moabhu yaparadzwa.
Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 Kutonga kwasvika kumutunhu wakakwirira, kuHoroni, Jahaza neMefaati,
Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22 kuDhibhoni, Nebho neBheti Dhibhirataimu,
on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23 kuKiriataimu, neBheti Gamuri neBheti Meoni,
on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24 kuKerioti neBhozira, nokumaguta ose eMoabhu ari kure neari pedyo.
on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Runyanga rweMoabhu rwagurwa; ruoko rwake rwavhunika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26 “Itai kuti adhakwe, nokuti iye azvidza Jehovha. Regai Moabhu aumburuke mumarutsi ake; ngaave chinhu chinosekwa.
“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27 Ko, Israeri haana kuva chinhu chinosekwa nemi here? Ko, akabatwa ari pakati pembavha here, zvamunodzungudza musoro wenyu muchimushora pose pamunotaura nezvake?
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Siyai maguta enyu mundogara pakati pamatombo, imi mugere muMoabhu. Itai senjiva inovaka dendere rayo pamuromo webako.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 “Takanzwa nezvokuzvikudza kweMoabhu, manyawi nokudada kwavo kukuru uye kuzvikudza kwakanyanya, kuzvikudza kwavo nokuzvitutumadza namanyawi emwoyo wayo.
“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30 Ndinoziva kusindimara kwayo asi hakuna maturo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye kuzvikudza kwake kuzhinji hakuna zvakunoreva.
I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31 Naizvozvo ndinoungudza pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuda kweMoabhu yose ndinodanidzira, ndinochema varume veKiri Hareseti.
Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Ndinokuchema sokuchema kunoita Jazeri, haiwa imi mazambiringa eGibhima. Matavi enyu akatandavara kundosvika kugungwa; akandosvika kugungwa reJazeri. Muparadzi awira pamichero yako yaibva namazambiringa.
With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33 Mufaro nokufarisisa zvaenda, zvabva muminda yemichero nomuminda yeMoabhu. Ndagumisa kuyerera kwewaini inobva pazvisviniro; hakuna achazvitsika achidanidzira nomufaro. Kunyange pano kudanidzira, hakusi kudanidzira kwomufaro.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34 “Inzwi rokuchema kwavo rinokwira richibva kuHeshibhoni kusvikira kuErieri neJahazi, kubva kuZoari kusvikira kuHoronaimi neEgirati Sherishiya, nokuti kunyange nemvura dzeNimirimi dzapwa.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35 Ndichaisa magumo muMoabhu, kuna avo vanopa zvipiriso panzvimbo dzakakwirira, uye vanopisira zvinonhuhwira kuna vamwari vavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36 “Saka mwoyo wangu unorira senyere pamusoro peMoabhu; unorira senyere pamusoro pavarume veKiri Hareseti. Pfuma yavakawana yapera.
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
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 clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38 Pamusoro pamatenga ose eMoabhu napazvivara hakuna chiriko kunze kwokuchema, nokuti ndaputsa Moabhu sedende risina anorida,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39 “Akoromorwa sei! Vaungudza sei! Hoyo Moabhu afuratira nokuda kwokunyadziswa! Moabhu yava chinhu chinosekwa, chinhu chinonyangadza kuna vose vakaipoteredza.”
“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Tarirai achabhururuka segondo, rakatambanudzira mapapiro aro pamusoro peMoabhu.
For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Kerioti ichatapwa uye nhare dzichatorwa. Pazuva iro mwoyo yemhare dzeMoabhu ichafanana nomwoyo womukadzi ari kurwadziwa.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moabhu ichaparadzwa serudzi nokuti yakazvidza Jehovha.
Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Kutya negomba nomusungo zvakakumirirai, imi vanhu veMoabhu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says 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 who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
45 “Mumumvuri weHeshibhoni vatizi vanomirapo vasina simba, nokuti moto wabuda uchibva kuHeshibhoni, murazvo pakati peSihoni; unopisa huma dzaMoabhu, misoro yavanozvikudza vemheremhere.
“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Une nhamo, iwe Moabhu! Vanhu veKemoshi vaparara; vanakomana vako vakaendeswa kuutapwa navanasikana vako muutapwa.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 “Kunyange zvakadaro ndichadzosazve pfuma yeMoabhu pamazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Pano ndipo panogumira kutongwa kweMoabhu.
“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
