1“Panguva iyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichava Mwari wamarudzi ose aIsraeri, naivo vachava vanhu vangu.”

2Zvanzi naJehovha:

“Vanhu vakapunyuka pamunondo
vachawana nyasha mugwenga;
ndichauya kuzopa zororo kuna Israeri.”
3Jehovha akazviratidza kwatiri kare, achiti:

“Ndakakudai norudo rusingaperi;
ndakakukwevai nokunaka kworudo rwangu.
4Ndichakuvakazve,
ipapo uchavakwa, iwe Mhandara Israeri.
Uchatorazve matambureni ako

5Zvakare, muchasima minda yemizambiringa

6Pachava nezuva richadanidzira nharirire
dziri pamusoro pezvikomo zveEfuremu, dzichiti,
‘Uyai, ngatikwidzei kuZioni,
kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.’ ”
7Zvanzi naJehovha:

“Imbirai Jakobho nomufaro;
pururudzirai mukuru wendudzi.
Paridzai, rumbidzai, muchiti,
‘Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai vanhu venyu,
ivo vakasara vaIsraeri.’
8Tarirai, ndichavauyisa vachibva kunyika yokumusoro,
uye ndigovaunganidza kubva kumigumo yenyika.
Pakati pavo pachava namapofu nezvirema,
navanamai vane pamuviri navakadzi vanorwadziwa;
boka guru richadzoka kuno.
9Vachauya vachichema;
vachanyengetera pandinenge ndichivadzosa.
Ndichavafambisa nepahova dzemvura,
napanzira yakati chechetere yavasingagumburwi,
nokuti ndiri baba vaIsraeri,
uye Efuremu ndiye dangwe rangu.

10“Inzwai shoko raJehovha imi ndudzi dzose;
muriparidze kuzviwi zviri kure muchiti:
‘Iye akaparadzira Israeri ndiye achavaunganidza,
uye achavachengeta somufudzi anochengeta boka ramakwai ake.’
11Nokuti Jehovha achasunungura Jakobho,
uye agovadzikinura kubva muruoko rwaivo vane simba kupinda ivo.
12Vachauya vachipembera nomufaro pamusoro peZioni;
vachafara nokupa zvakanaka kwaJehovha,
nokuda kwezviyo, newaini itsva uye namafuta,
makwayana nemombe.
Vachafanana nebindu rakanyatsodiridzwa,
uye havachazosuwazve.
13Ipapo varandakadzi vachatamba uye vachafara,
majaya navatana vachafarawo.
Ndichashandura kuchema kwavo kuti kuve mufaro;
ndichavanyaradza uye ndichavapa mufaro pachinzvimbo chokusuwa.
14Ndichagutsa vaprista nezvakawanda,
uye vanhu vangu vachazadzwa nokupa zvakanaka kwangu,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
15Zvanzi naJehovha:

“Inzwi rinonzwikwa muRama,
rokuungudza nokuchema kukuru,
Rakeri achichema vana vake
uye achiramba kunyaradzwa,
nokuti vana vake havachipo.”
16Zvanzi naJehovha:

“Dzora inzwi rako pakuchema
nameso ako pamisodzi,
nokuti basa rako richaripirwa,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Vachadzoka vachibva kunyika yomuvengi.
17Saka ramangwana rako rine tariro,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Vana vako vachadzokera kunyika yavo.”

18“Zvirokwazvo ndanzwa kuchema kwaEfuremu achiti:
‘Makandirova semhuru isina kupingudzwa,
nokudaro ndakarangwa.
Ndidzorei, ipapo ndichadzoka,
nokuti imi ndimi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
19Mushure mokutsauka kwangu,
ndakatendeuka;
ndakati ndanzwisisa
ndakazvirova chipfuva.
Ndakanyadziswa uye ndakaninipiswa
nokuti ndakatakura nyadzi dzouduku hwangu.’
20Ko, Efuremu haasi mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa,
mwana anondifadza here?
Kunyange ndichimupikisa kazhinji,
ndinoramba ndichimurangarira.
Naizvozvo, mwoyo wangu unomushuva;
ndinomunzwira tsitsi kwazvo,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

21“Zvimisirei shongwe dzenzira;
misai zvikwangwani.
Cherechedzai mugwagwa mukuru,
mugwagwa wamunofamba nawo.
Dzoka, iwe Mhandara Israeri,
dzokera kumaguta ako.
22Uchadzungaira kusvikira rinhiko,
iwe mwanasikana wokusatendeka?
Jehovha achasika chinhu chitsva panyika,
zvokuti mukadzi achambundikira murume.”
23Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri: “Pandichavadzosazve kubva kuutapwa, vanhu vari munyika yeJudha nomumaguta ayo vachataurazve mashoko aya okuti, ‘Jehovha ngaakuropafadze, iwe ugaro hwakarurama, iwe gomo dzvene.’ 24Vanhu vachagara pamwe chete muJudha nomumaguta ayo ose, varimi navaya vanofamba namapoka avo. 25Ndichasimbisa vanenge vaneta uye ndichagutsa vanenge vaziya.”

26Ipapo ndakamuka ndokuringa-ringa. Ndakanga ndarara zvakanaka.

27“Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichasima muimba yaIsraeri nomuimba yaJudha zvibereko zvavanhu nezvibereko zvemhuka. 28Sezvandakavarindira kuti ndidzure, ndikoromore, uye ndiwisire pasi, ndiparadze, ndiuyise njodzi, saizvozvo ndichavarindira, kuti ndivake uye ndisime,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. 29“Mumazuva iwayo vanhu havangazoti,

“ ‘Madzibaba akadya mazambiringa anovava,
mazino avana akaita hwadzira.’
30Asi, mumwe nomumwe achafa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake; ani naani anodya mazambiringa anovava, mazino ake achaita hwadzira.

31“Nguva inouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha,
“yandichaita sungano itsva
neimba yaIsraeri
uye neimba yaJudha.
32Haingazofanani nesungano
yandakaita namadzitateguru avo,
pandakavabata ruoko
kuti ndivabudise munyika yeIjipiti,
nokuti vakaputsa sungano yangu,
kunyange ndakanga ndiri murume kwavari,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
33“Iyi indiyo sungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri
shure kwamazuva iwayo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Ndichaisa murayiro wangu mundangariro dzavo
uye ndigounyora mumwoyo yavo.
Ndichava Mwari wavo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vangu.
34Hakuna munhu achadzidzisa muvakidzani wake
kana hama yake, achiti, ‘Ziva Jehovha,’
nokuti vose vachandiziva,
kubva kumuduku wavo kusvikira kumukuru,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Nokuti ndichavakanganwira kuipa kwavo,
uye handingarangaririzve zvivi zvavo.”
35Zvanzi naJehovha,

iye anogadza zuva
kuti rivhenekere masikati,
anoisa chirevo kumwedzi nenyeredzi
kuti zvivhenekere usiku,
iye anomutsa gungwa kuti mafungu aro atinhire,
Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ndiro zita rake:
36“Kana chete mitemo iyi ikabva pamberi pangu,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha,
“ndiko kuti zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri zvigume
kuva rudzi pamberi pangu.”
37Zvanzi naJehovha:

“Kana chete matenga ari kumusoro akagona kuyerwa,
uye nheyo dzenyika dziri pasi dzikagona kunzverwa,
ipapo ndipo pandingarambe zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri
nokuda kwezvose zvavakaita,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
38“Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichavakirazve guta kubva paShongwe yeHananeri kusvikira paSuo reKona. 39Rwodzi rwokuyera ruchatandavara kubva ipapo kusvikira kuchikomo cheGarebhi ndokudzoka ruchisvika kuGoa. 40Mupata wose unorasirwa zvitunha namadota, neminda yose kusvikira kuMupata weKidhironi kumabvazuva kusvikira kukona reSuo raMabhiza, zvichava zvitsvene kuna Jehovha. Guta harichazombodzurwi kana kuparadzwazve.”
