Zekaria 9

1 Shoko raJehovha rinorwisana nenyika yeHadhiraki uye richagara pamusoro peDhamasiko, nokuti meso avanhu naamarudzi ose eIsraeri ari pana Jehovha,

The burden of the worde of the Lord in the land of Hadrach: and Damascus shalbe his rest: when the eyes of man, euen of all the tribes of Israel shalbe toward the Lord.

2 uye napamusoro peHamatiwo, rakaganhurana naro, uye napamusoro peTire neSidhoni, kunyange zvazvo vane unyanzvi kwazvo.

And Hamath also shall border thereby: Tyrus also and Zidon, though they be very wise.

3 Tire yakazvivakira nhare; yakaunganidza sirivha seguruva uye goridhe samarara omumugwagwa.

For Tyrus did build her selfe a strong holde, and heaped vp siluer as the dust, and golde as the myre of the streetes.

4 Asi Ishe achatora upfumi hwayo uye achaparadzira simba rayo pagungwa, uye ichaparadzwa nomoto.

Beholde, the Lord wil spoyle her, and he wil smite her power in the Sea, and she shalbe deuoured with fire.

5 Ashikeroni richazviona, rigotya; Gaza richatambura mukurwadziwa, neEkironiwo, nokuti tariro yaro ichapera. Gaza richarasikirwa namambo waro uye Ashikeroni haringavi navanhu.

Ashkelon shall see it, and feare, and Azzah also shalbe very sorowfull, and Ekron: for her countenance shalbe ashamed, and the King shall perish from Azzah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

6 Vatorwa vachagara paAshidhodhi, uye ndichaparadza kuzvikudza kwavaFiristia.

And the stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I wil cut off the pride of the Philistims.

7 Ndichabvisa ropa pamiromo yavo, kudya kusingabvumirwi pakati pamazino avo. Vaya vakasara vachava vanhu vaMwari wedu uye vachava vatungamiri muJudha, uye Ekironi achava savaJebhusi.

And I wil take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from betweene his teeth: but he that remaineth, euen he shalbe for our God, and he shalbe as a prince in Iudah, but Ekron shalbe as a Iebusite.

8 Asi ndichadzivirira imba yangu pavarwi vanoirwisa. Hapachazovazve nomumanikidzi angakunda vanhu vangu, nokuti zvino ndiri kugara ndakatarira.

And I will campe about mine House against the armie, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressour shall come vpon them any more: for now haue I seene with mine eyes.

9 Fara kwazvo, iwe Mwanasikana weZioni! Danidzira, Mwanasikana weJerusarema! Tarira, mambo wako anouya kwauri, iye akarurama uye ano ruponeso, anozvininipisa akatasva mbongoro, iyo mhuru, mwana wembongoro.

Reioyce greatly, O daughter Zion: shoute for ioy, O daughter Ierusalem: beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee: he is iust and saued himselfe, poore and riding vpon an asse, and vpon a colt the foale of an asse.

10 Ndichabvisa ngoro kuna Efuremu, namabhiza ehondo kuJerusarema, uye uta hwehondo huchavhunwa. Achaparidzira ndudzi rugare. Ushe hwake huchabva kugungwa huchisvika kugungwa, uye kubva kuRwizi kusvika kumigumo yenyika.

And I wil cut off the charets from Ephraim, and the horse from Ierusalem: the bowe of the battel shalbe broken, and he shall speake peace vnto the heathen, and his dominion shalbe from sea vnto sea, and from the Riuer to the end of the land.

11 Kana uriwe, nokuda kweropa resungano yangu newe, ndichasunungura vasungwa vako kubva pagomba risina mvura.

Thou also shalt be saued through the blood of thy couenant. I haue loosed thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

12 Dzokerai kunhare yenyu, imi vasungwa vetariro; kunyange iye zvino ndichazivisa kuti ndichadzorera kwamuri zvakapetwa kaviri.

Turne you to the strong holde, ye prisoners of hope: euen to day doe I declare, that I will render the double vnto thee.

13 Ndichakunga Judha sendinokunga uta hwangu, uye ndichaizadza naEfuremu. Ndichamutsa vanakomana vako, iwe Zioni, kuti varwise vanakomana vako, iwe Girisi; uye ndichakuita somunondo wemhare.

For Iudah haue I bent as a bowe for me: Ephraims hand haue I filled, and I haue raised vp thy sonnes, O Zion, against thy sonnes, O Grecia, and haue made thee as a gyants sword.

14 Ipapo Jehovha achaonekwa pamusoro pavo; museve wake uchapenya semheni. Ishe Jehovha acharidza hwamanda; achafamba mudutu rezasi.

And the Lord shalbe seene ouer them, and his arrowe shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blowe the trumpet, and shall come forth with the whirlewindes of the South.

15 Uye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achavadzivirira. Vachaparadza uye vachakunda nezvimviriri. Vachanwa vagoomba sevanwa waini; vachazara sembiya dzinoshandiswa pakusasa makona earitari.

The Lord of hostes shall defend them, and they shall deuoure them, and subdue them with sling stones, and they shall drinke, and make a noyse as thorowe wine, and they shalbe filled like bowles, and as the hornes of the altar.

16 Jehovha Mwari wavo achavaponesa pazuva iroro seboka ravanhu vake, Vachavaima munyika yake samabwe anokosha ari mukorona.

And the Lord their God shall deliuer them in that day as the flocke of his people: for they shall be as the stones of the crowne lifted up upon his land.

17 Kuyevedza kwavo nokunaka kwavo kuchava kukuru sei! Zviyo zvichaita kuti majaya abudirire, uye waini itsva kumhandara.

For howe great is his goodnesse! and howe great is his beautie! corne shall make the yong men cherefull, and newe wine the maides.
