Mashoko Okupedzisira aDhavhidhi

1Aya ndiwo mashoko okupedzisira aDhavhidhi:

“Chirevo chaDhavhidhi mwanakomana waJese,
Chirevo chomurume akasimudzirwa noWokumusoro-soro,
murume akazodzwa naMwari waJakobho,
muimbi wenziyo waIsraeri:

2“Mweya waJehovha wakataura kubudikidza neni;
shoko rake rakanga riri parurimi rwangu.
3Mwari waIsraeri akataura,
Dombo raIsraeri akati kwandiri:
‘Kana munhu achitonga vanhu mukururama,
kana achitonga mukutya Mwari,
4akaita sechiedza chamangwanani pakubuda kwezuva
mangwanani kusina makore,
sokujeka kwezuva shure kwokunaya
kwemvura kunomeresa uswa kubva pasi.’

5“Ko, imba yangu haisi yakadaro kuna Mwari here?
Nokuti akaita sungano isingaperi neni,
yakarongwa uye yakasimbiswa pazvinhu zvose.
Ko, haachazozadzisi ruponeso rwangu
uye agondipa zvose zvandinoda here?
6Asi vanhu vakaipa vacharasirwa parutivi seminzwa,
isingaunganidzwi noruoko.
7Ani naani anobata minzwa
anoshandisa mudziyo wesimbi kana rwiriko rwepfumo;
uye ichapiswa zvachose pairi ipapo.”

Asi akaramba kuinwa, akaidururira pasi kuna Jehovha. 17Akati, “Ngazvive kure neni, Jehovha, kuti ndiite izvi! Ko, iri harisi ropa ravarume vakaendako vachiisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi here?” Uye Dhavhidhi akaramba kuinwa.
