2 Pazuva iro,

“Imbai nezvomuzambiringa unobereka:

3 Ini Jehovha ndini ndinouchengeta;

ndinoramba ndichiudiridzira.

Ndinourinda masikati nousiku

kuitira kuti parege kuva neanoukanganisa.

4 Handina kutsamwa.

Dai paingova nerukato neminzwa zvinorwa neni!

Ndaienda kundorwa nazvo;

ndaizvipisa zvose nomoto.

5 Kana kuti ngazviuye zvizovanda kwandiri;

6 Mumazuva anouya, Jakobho achadzika midzi,

agozadza nyika yose nomuchero,

7 Ko, Jehovha akamurova here

sezvaanorova avo vakamurova?

Akaurayiwa here

8 Muhondo makarwa naye mukamudzinga,

9 Zvino nenzira iyi, mhosva yaJakobho ichadzikinurwa,

Paanoita kuti aritari dzose dzifanane namabwe omunyaka akaputswa-putswa,

hapana matanda aAshera kana aritari dzezvinonhuhwira zvichasiyiwa zvakamira.

10 Guta rakakomberedzwa norusvingo rasiyiwa rava dongo,

Nokuti vanhu ava havana njere;

Nhamo kuna Efuremu

1 Ine nhamo korona yokuzvikudza, yezvidhakwa zveEfuremu,

2 Tarira, Ishe ano mumwe ane simba uye anokurira.

Sechimvuramabwe uye nedutu rinoparadza,

3 Iya korona, yokuzvikudza yezvidhakwa zveEfuremu,

4 Ruva riya rosvava pakubwinya kworunako rwaro,

5 Pazuva iro Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achava korona inobwinya,

7 Ivavawo vanodzedzereka newaini

Vaprista navaprofita vanodzedzereka nedoro,

vanogumburwa pakutonga.

8 Tafura dzose dzazara marutsi

9 “Ndianiko waachadzidzisa ruzivo?

Ndianiko waanotsanangurira shoko?

Kuvana vakarumurwa pamukaka,

kuna avo vachangobva pazamu here?

10 Nokuti zvinoti:

Chirevo pamusoro pechirevo, chirevo pamusoro pechirevo,

mutsara pamusoro pomutsara, mutsara pamusoro pomutsara,

apa zvishoma, apo zvishoma.”

11 Zvirokwazvo, Mwari achataura kurudzi urwu nemitauro yavatorwa,

asi havana kumboteerera.

13 Saka zvino, shoko raJehovha kwavari richava:

Chirevo pamusoro pechirevo, chirevo pamusoro pechirevo,

mutsara pamusoro pomutsara, mutsara pamusoro pomutsara,

14 Naizvozvo inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vaseki,

15 Munozvirumbidza muchiti, “Takaita sungano norufu,

takatenderana neguva.

Shamhu inokukura painouya,

haizotibati,

nokuti nhema takadziita utiziro hwedu,

uye kunyengera takakuita nzvimbo yedu yokuvanda.”

16 Saka zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose:

“Tarirai ndinoisa ibwe muZioni,

ibwe rakaedzwa,

ibwe rinokosha rapakona kuti rive nheyo yakasimba;

anovimba naro haangavhunduki.

17 Ndichaita kuti kururamisira kuve rwodzi rwokururamisira,

uye kururama ndichakuita chokururamisa nacho;

chimvuramabwe chichakukura utiziro hwenyu, idzo nhema,

uye mvura ichafukidza nzvimbo yenyu yokuvanda.

18 Sungano yenyu norufu ichadzimwa;

chitenderano chenyu neguva hachingamiri.

Shamhu inokukura painouya,

muchakundwa nayo.

19 Nguva nenguva painouya ichakutakurai ichikuendesai kure;

mangwanani achitevera mamwe mangwanani, panguva dzamasikati nenguva dzousiku,

Kunzwisisa shoko iri

kuchauyisa kutya.

20 Nokuti mubhedha uchava mupfupi pakutandavara,

uye jira richava diki zvokuti munhu haangagoni kufukidzwa naro.

21 Nokuti Jehovha achasimuka sezvaakaita paGomo rePerazimi,

achatsamwa sezvaakaita muMupata weGibheoni,

kuti aite basa rake, iro basa risinganzwisisiki,

uye azadzise basa rake, basa risinganzwisisiki.

22 Zvino chiregai kudada kwenyu,

24 Murimi paanorimira kuti agodyara, anoramba achingorima here?

Ko, anoramba achingorima kana kuhara here?

25 Paanoenzanisa munda wake kuti uti chechetere,

haangadyari karawe uye agokusha kumini here?

Haangadyari gorosi munzvimbo yaro,

26 Nokuti Mwari wake anomurayiridza

27 Karawe haipurwi nechireyi,

uye vhiri rengoro harikunguruswi pamusoro pekumini;

karawe inopurwa nemhuro

uye kumini inopurwa norumuti.

28 Zviyo zvinofanira kukuyiwa kuti zviitiswe chingwa;

saka munhu haafaniri kuramba achingopura nokusingaperi.

Kunyange achifambisa mavhiri engoro yake

yokupura pamusoro pazvo, mabhiza ake haazvikuyi.

29 Izvi zvose zvinobvawo kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose,

anoshamisa mukurayira uye mukuru kwazvo muuchenjeri.

Naizvozvo ndizvo zvichaitawo marudzi ose akawanda

9 Katyamarai uye mushamiswe,

10 Jehovha akauyisa pamusoro penyu hope huru;

Akafukidza meso enyu, vaprofita;

11 Nokuti kwamuri, chiratidzo ichi hachizi chinhu asi mashoko akanamirwa murugwaro. Uye kana mukapa rugwaro kuno mumwe munhu anogona kuverenga, mukati kwaari, “Ndapota, verenga izvi,” achapindura achiti, “Handikwanisi, nokuti rwakanamirwa.”

12 Kana kuti mukapa rugwaro kuno mumwe asingagoni kuverenga, mukati kwaari, “Ndapota, verenga izvi,” achapindura achiti, “Handigoni kuverenga.”

13 Ishe anoti:

“Vanhu ava vanoswedera kwandiri nemiromo yavo,

asi mwoyo yavo iri kure neni.

Kundinamata kwavo

14 Naizvozvo ndichashamisa vanhu ava zvakare

15 Vane nhamo avo vanosvika kwakadzika dzika

18 Pazuva iro vanamati vachanzwa shoko rorugwaro,

12 Naizvozvo zvanzi naMutsvene waIsraeri:

15 Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Mutsvene waIsraeri:

“Mukutendeuka nezororo ndimo mune ruponeso rwenyu,

Senakeribhi anovhundutsira Jerusarema

1 Mugore regumi namana rokutonga kwaMambo Hezekia, Senakeribhi mambo weAsiria akarwisa maguta ose akakomberedzwa aJudha akaapamba.

2 Ipapo mambo weAsiria akatuma mukuru wehondo yake nehondo huru achibva kuRakishi kuna Mambo Hezekia muJerusarema. Mukuru wehondo akati amira pamugero weDziva roKumusoro, pamugwagwa unoenda kuMunda woMusuki,

3 ipapo Eriakimu mwanakomana waHirikia, mufambisi webasa mumuzinda wamambo, naShebhina munyori, naJoa mwanakomana waAsafi munyori wenhoroondo, akabuda kundosangana naye.

4 Mukuru wehondo akati kwavari, “Udzai Hezekia kuti:

“ ‘Zvanzi namambo mukuru, iye mambo weAsiria: Uri kuvimba nei chaizvo?

5 Iwe unoti une urongwa nesimba rokurwa, asi uri kutaura mashoko asina maturo. Ko, unovimba naaniko, zvawandimukira?

7 Asi kana ukati kwandiri, “Isu tinovimba naJehovha Mwari wedu,” haasi iye here ane nzvimbo dzakakwirira nearitari dzakabviswa naHezekia, iye akati kuJudha neJerusarema, “Munofanira kunamata pamberi pearitari iyi”?

8 “ ‘Zvino chiuya, ita sungano natenzi wangu, mambo weAsiria: Ndichakupa mabhiza anokwana zviuru zviviri, kana ukagona kuisa vatasvi pamusoro pawo!

9 Ungagona seiko kukunda mubati mumwe wavabati vadiki vatenzi vangu, kunyange uchivimba nengoro dzeIjipiti navatasvi vadzo vamabhiza?

10 Pamusoro pezvo, ndauya kuzorwa nenyika ino nokuiparadza ndisina Jehovha here? Jehovha pachake andiudza kuti ndiuye munyika ino ndizoiparadza.’ ”

11 Ipapo Eriakimu, naShebhina, naJoa vakati kumukuru wehondo, “Tapota hedu, taurai kuvaranda venyu norurimi rwechiAramu, sezvo tichirunzwa. Musataura nesu nechiHebheru vanhu vari parusvingo vachinzwa.”

12 Asi mukuru wehondo akapindura akati, “Ko, ndakatumwa natenzi wangu kuna tenzi wenyu nemi chete ndisingatauriwo kuvarume vagere parusvingo, ivo vanofanira kudya tsvina yavo nokunwa mvura yavo kufanana nemi here?”

13 Ipapo mukuru wehondo akasimuka akadanidzira nechiHebheru achiti, “Inzwai mashoko amambo mukuru, mambo weAsiria!

14 Zvanzi namambo: Musarega Hezekia achikunyengerai. Iye haangagoni kukurwirai!

15 Musarega Hezekia achikunyengetedzai kuti muvimbe naJehovha achiti, ‘Jehovha achakurwirai zvirokwazvo; guta rino harizoiswa muruoko rwamambo weAsiria.’

16 “Musateerera Hezekia. Zvanzi namambo weAsiria: Itai rugare neni mugouya kwandiri. Ipapo mumwe nomumwe wenyu achadya zvinobva pamuzambiringa wake napamuonde wake uye achanwa mvura inobva muchitubu chake,

17 kusvikira ndauya ndizokutorai, ndigokuendesai kunyika yakaita seyenyu, nyika ine zviyo newaini itsva, nyika ine chingwa neminda yemizambiringa.

18 “Musarega Hezekia achikutsausai achiti, ‘Jehovha achatirwira.’ Ndimwari weipi nyika zvayo akamborwira nyika yake muruoko rwamambo weAsiria?

19 Vamwari veHamati neAripadhi varipi? Vamwari veSefarivhaimi varipi? Vakarwira Samaria muruoko rwangu here?

20 Ndavapi pakati pavamwari vendudzi dzose vakambogona kuponesa nyika dzavo kubva kwandiri? Ko, Jehovha achagona seiko kurwira Jerusarema muruoko rwangu?”

21 Asi vanhu vakaramba vanyerere, vakasapindura chinhu, nokuti mambo akanga arayira achiti, “Musamupindura.”

22 Ipapo Eriakimu mwanakomana waHirikia mutariri womuzinda wamambo, naShebhina munyori, naJoa mwanakomana waAsafi munyori wenhoroondo vakaenda kuna Hezekia, nenguo dzavo dzakabvaruka, vakamuudza zvakanga zvataurwa nomukuru wehondo.
