Joere 3
1 “Mumazuva iwayo, napanguva iyoyo, kana ndichinge ndadzosa pfuma yeJudha neyeJerusarema,
“For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 ndichaunganidza ndudzi dzose ndigoenda nadzo kuMupata waJehoshafati. Ipapo ndichavatonga nokuda kwenhaka yangu, vanhu vangu vaIsraeri, nokuti vakaparadzira vanhu vangu pakati pendudzi, uye vakagovana nyika yangu.
Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
3 Vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatsinhanisa vakomana nezvifeve; vakatengesa vanasikana kuti vagotenga waini yokuti vanwe.
And for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may drink.
4 “Zvino ndakakutadzirai chiiko, imi Tire neSidhoni, nemi matunhu ose eFiristia? Muri kundiripira chimwe chinhu chandakaita here? Zvino kana muchindiripira, ini ndichadzosera zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu chaiyo nokukurumidza chaizvo.
And also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment on your head.
5 Nokuti makatora sirivha negoridhe rangu, mukatakurawo midziyo yangu yakanakisisa mukandoiisa kutemberi dzenyu.
In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
6 Makatengesa vanhu veJudha neveJerusarema kuvaGiriki kuti muvaendese kure.
And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
7 “Tarirai, ini ndichavamutsa kubva kunzvimbo dzamakavatengesera, uye ndichadzosera pamisoro yenyu chaiyo zvamakaita.
Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment on your head,
8 Ndichatengesa vanakomana navanasikana venyu kuvanhu veJudha, uye vachavatengesa kuvaShebha, rudzi rwuri kure.” Jehovha ataura.
And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
9 Paridzirai izvi kundudzi dzose: Gadzirirai hondo! Mutsai varwi! Varwi vose ngavaswedere pedyo varwise.
Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
10 Pfurai mapadza enyu muaite minondo, uye mapanga okuchekerera miti muaite mapfumo. Asina simba ngaati, “Ndine simba!”
Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
11 Uyai nokukurumidza, imi ndudzi dzose, kubva kumativi ose mugoungana ipapo. Haiwa Jehovha, burutsai varwi venyu.
Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
12 “Ndudzi dzose ngadzimutswe; ngadziende kuMupata waJehoshafati, nokuti ipapo ndipo pandichagara pasi kuti nditonge ndudzi dzose kumativi ose enyika.
“Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
13 Shandisai jeko, nokuti gohwo raibva. Uyai musvine mazambiringa netsoka dzenyu, nokuti chisviniro chazara, uye zvirongo zvopfachukira, uku ndiko kukura kwakaita kuipa kwavo.”
Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
14 Vazhinji zhinji, vazhinji zhinji, vari mumupata wokutonga. Nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo mumupata wokutonga.
Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
15 Zuva nomwedzi zvichasviba uye nyeredzi dzichadzima.
Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
16 Jehovha achaomba paZioni, uye achatinhira ari muJerusarema; denga nenyika zvichadedera. Asi Jehovha achava utiziro hwavanhu vake, nhare yavanhu veIsraeri.
And YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.
17 “Ipapo muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, ndinogara muZioni, gomo rangu dzvene. Jerusarema richava dzvene; vatorwa havachazorirwisazve.
“And you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
18 “Pazuva iroro makomo achachururuka waini itsva, uye zvikomo zvichaerera mukaka; hova dzose dzomuJudha dzichaerera mvura. Chitubu chichaerera chichibva muimba yaJehovha, uye chichadiridzira mupata wemiti yemiunga.
And it has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
19 Asi Ijipiti ichava dongo, Edhomu ichava gwenga risina basa, nokuda kwokurwiswa kwakaitwa vanhu veJudha, vakateura ropa risina mhosva munyika yavo.
“Egypt becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
20 MuJudha muchagara vanhu nokusingaperi, uye nomuJerusarema kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
21 Mhosva yavo yeropa yandisina kuregerera, ndichairegerera,
And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
