Jeremiya
13 Jehovha akati kwandiri: “Enda unotenga bhandi rejira urisunge muchiuno, asi usarinyika mumvura.” 2 Saka ndakatenga bhandi racho sezvakataurwa naJehovha, ndikarisunga muchiuno. 3 Uye shoko raJehovha rakauya kwandiri kechipiri, richiti: 4 “Tora bhandi rawakatenga uye rawakasunga, usimuke uende kuna Yufratesi urivige ikoko mumukaha wedombo.” 5 Saka ndakaenda ndikariviga pedyo naYufratesi, sezvandakanga ndarayirwa naJehovha.
6 Asi kwapera mazuva mazhinji, Jehovha akati kwandiri: “Simuka uende kuRwizi rwaYufratesi unotora bhandi randakakurayira kuti uvige ikoko.” 7 Saka ndakaenda kuna Yufratesi ndikachera bhandi racho ndikaritora pandakanga ndariviga, uye ndakaona kuti rakanga raora, risingachabatsiri zvachose.
8 Shoko raJehovha rakabva rauya kwandiri, richiti: 9 “Zvanzi naJehovha, ‘Ndichaita kuti kuzvikudza kweJudha nekuzvikudza kukuru kweJerusarema kuitewo saizvozvi.+ 10 Vanhu ava vakaipa, uye vanoramba kuteerera mashoko angu,+ vachiomesa misoro vachitevera mwoyo yavo,+ uye vachitevera vamwe vanamwari, vachivashumira uye vachivakotamira, saka vachaitawo sebhandi iri risingachabatsiri zvachose.’ 11 ‘Nekuti sekunamatira kunoita bhandi muchiuno chemunhu, ndakaitawo kuti imba yese yaIsraeri neimba yese yaJudha dzinamatire kwandiri,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha, ‘kuti vave kwandiri rudzi,+ zita,+ kurumbidzwa uye chinhu chakanaka. Asi havana kuteerera.’+
12 “Uye unofanirawo kuvaudza shoko iri rekuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsraeri: “Makate ese anofanira kuzadzwa waini.”’ Uye ivo vachakupindura vachiti, ‘Hatizvizivi nechekare here kuti makate ese anofanira kuzadzwa waini?’ 13 Ubve wati kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ndichadhakisa newaini vagari vese vemunyika ino,+ madzimambo anogara pachigaro cheumambo chaDhavhidhi, vapristi nevaprofita, nevagari vese vemuJerusarema. 14 Ndichavadhumanisa, vanababa nevanakomana saizvozvo,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.+ “Handizonzwi tsitsi, kana kusuruvara, uye handizovanzwiri ngoni; hapana chichaita kuti ndirege kuvaparadza.”’+
15 Inzwai muteerere.
Musazvikudza, nekuti Jehovha ataura.
16 Kudzai Jehovha Mwari wenyu
Asati aunza rima
Uye tsoka dzenyu dzisati dzagumburwa mumakomo panguva yerubvunzavaeni.
Ndichabudisa misodzi yakawanda, uye maziso angu achayerera misodzi,+
Nekuti boka rezvipfuwo zvaJehovha+ rapambwa.
18 Udza mambo naamai vake+ kuti, ‘Garai munzvimbo yakaderera,
Nekuti korona yenyu yakanaka ichadonha kubva mumusoro menyu.’
19 Maguta ekumaodzanyemba avharwa,* uye hapana anoavhura.
Judha wese atapwa, hapana asara.+
20 Simudza musoro uone vaya vari kubva kuchamhembe.+
Zvipfuwo zvawakapiwa zviri kupi, iwo makwai ako akanaka?+
Hauzovi nemarwadzo akaita seemukadzi ari kusununguka here?+
22 Uye paunoti mumwoyo mako, ‘Nei zvinhu izvi zvandiwira?’+
Kukanganisa kwako kukuru ndiko kwaita kuti nguo yako ifukurwe nechekuzasi+
Uye kuti zvitsitsinho zvako zvirwadziswe.
23 MuKushi* angachinja ganda rake here, kana mbada mavara ayo here?+
Kana izvozvo zvichikwanisika, saka imi munogonawo kuita zvakanaka,
Imi vakadzidziswa kuita zvakaipa.
24 Saka ndichavaparadzira semashanga ari kupeperetswa nemhepo yemugwenga.+
25 Uyu ndiwo mugove wako, chikamu chako chandakakuyerera,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha,
26 Saka ndichafukurira nguo yako kuchiso chako,
Uye kushama kwako kuchaonekwa,+
27 Iwo mabasa ako eupombwe+ nekuchema kwako sekwebhiza riri kuda mukono,
Nechipfambi chako chakanyanyisa.*
Ndakaona maitiro ako anosemesa
Muzvikomo nemusango.+
Une nhamo haiwa Jerusarema!
Ucharamba usina kuchena kusvikira riini?”+
