Lamentations 4

1Haiwa, goridhe rasviba sei,
goridhe rakaisvonaka harichabwinyi sei!
Matombo matsvene aparadzirwa
kumusoro kwenzira imwe neimwe.

2Haiwa vanakomana vanokosha veZioni,
kare vaimbokodzera chiero chavo chegoridhe,
zvino voonekwa sehari dzevhu,
iro basa ramaoko omuumbi wehari!

3Kunyange makava anopa mazamu awo
kuti anwise vana vawo,
asi vanhu vangu vava vasina hanya
seshiri dzemhou dziri mugwenga.

4Nokuda kwenyota rurimi rwomwana mucheche
runonamira mumukanwa make;
vana vanopemha chingwa,
asi hakuna anovapa.

5Avo vaisidya zvinonaka
vava vapemhi mumugwagwa.
Avo vakarerwa vachifuka nguo dzepepuru
zvino vava kuvata pamadurunhuru edota.

6Kurangwa kwavanhu vangu
kukuru kupinda kweSodhomu,
rakaparadzwa pakarepo
pasina ruoko rwakadzoka kuzoribatsira.

7Machinda avo aipenya kupfuura chando,
uye akanga akachena kupfuura mukaka,
miviri yavo yakanga yakatsvuka kupfuura matombo anokosha amarubhi,
kuratidzika kwavo kwakaita sokwesafiri.

8Asi zvino vasviba kupfuura chinʼai;
hapana angavaziva mumigwagwa.
Ganda ravo ranamira pamapfupa avo;
raoma zvokufanana nedanda.

9Avo vakaurayiwa nomunondo vari nani
pane avo vanourayiwa nenzara;
vabayiwa nenzara, vaonda kwazvo
nokuda kwokushayiwa zvokudya zvinobva muminda.

10Namaoko avo vakadzi vaiva nomwoyo munyoro
vakabika vana vavo,
vakava zvokudya zvavo,
pakaparadzwa vanhu vangu.

11Jehovha akaratidza kutsamwa kwake kwose;
akadurura hasha dzake dzinotyisa.
Akabatidza moto paZioni
akapisa nheyo dzaro.

12Madzimambo enyika haana kutenda,
kunyange navanhu vose vagere panyika,
kuti vavengi vangapinda
pamasuo eJerusarema.

13Zvakaitika nokuda kwezvivi zvavaprofita varo
uye nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavaprista varo,
vakateura ropa
ravakarurama mukati maro.

14Vanodzungaira munzira dzaro
savarume mapofu.
Vakasvibiswa neropa
zvokuti hapana angada kubata nguo dzavo.

15Vanhu vanodanidzira kwavari vachiti, “Ibvai! Hamuna kuchena!
Ibvai! Ibvai! Musatibata!”
Panguva yokutiza nokudzungaira kwavo,
vanhu pakati pendudzi vanoti,
“Havangarambi vachigara pano.”

16Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwavaparadzira;
haachavachengetedza.
Havana kukudza uprista,
uye havana kuremekedza vakuru.

17Meso edu oonera madzerere,
tichitarisira rubatsiro rusingauyi;
tiri pashongwe dzedu takatarisira
rudzi rwaizotiponesa.

18Vanhu vakatitevera kwose kwatakaenda,
zvokuti takatadza kufamba munzira dzedu chaidzo.
Magumo edu akanga ava pedyo, mazuva edu apera,
nokuti magumo akanga asvika.

19Vaitidzinganisa vaimhanya kupfuura
makondo okudenga;
vakatidzinganisa napamusoro pamakomo
uye vakatigaririra murenje.

20Muzodziwa waJehovha, iye mweya wedu wokufema chaiwo,
akanga abatwa mumisungo yavo.
Takafunga kuti mumumvuri wake
taizorarama pakati pendudzi.

21Pembera ufare, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu,
iwe unogara munyika yeUzi.
Asi newewo uchapiwa mukombe uyu;
uchadhakwa uye uchazvibvisa nguo.

22Iwe, Mwanasikana weZioni, kurangwa kwako kuchaguma;
haangawedzeri mazuva ako outapwa.
Asi, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu, acharanga chivi chako
agoratidza kuipa kwako.
