Pane ari kuuya segondo kuzorwisa imba yaJehovha,+
Nekuti vakaputsa sungano yangu+ uye havana kuteerera mutemo wangu.+
2 Vanoshevedzera kwandiri vachiti, ‘Isu vaIsraeri tinokuzivai, imi Mwari wedu!’+
3 Israeri aramba kuita zvakanaka.+
Muvengi ngaamutevere.
4 Vakagadza madzimambo ndisina kuvaudza.
Vakagadza machinda, asi handina kubvumirana nazvo.
5 Mhuru yako yarambwa iwe Samariya.+
Ndavatsamwira kwazvo.+
Vachasvika riini vachitadza kuita zvakanaka?*
6 Nekuti Israeri ndiye akazvitanga.
Haisi Mwari; yakagadzirwa nemhizha;
Mhuru yekuSamariya ichapwanywa-pwanywa.
Hapana dzinde rinobereka zviyo zvakasvika.+
Chero chinenge chamera hachiiti kuti pave nefurawa.
Kana ikavapo, ichadyiwa nevatorwa.+
Iye zvino vachava pakati pemamwe marudzi,+
Vachiita semudziyo usingadiwi.
9 Nekuti vakaenda kuAsiriya+ sedhongi remusango rinogara rega.
Efremu abhadhara pfambi kuti dzimude.+
10 Kunyange zvazvo vachitora pfambi dzacho kune mamwe marudzi,
Iye zvino ndichavaunganidza;
Vachatanga kurwadziwa+ nemutoro wavakatakudzwa namambo nemachinda.
11 Nekuti Efremu ava neatari dzakawanda.+
Paatari idzodzo ndipo paanotadzira.+
Iye zvino achayeuka kukanganisa kwavo ovarangira zvivi zvavo.+
14 Israeri akanganwa Muiti wake+ uye ane temberi dzaavaka,+
Uye Judha ava nemaguta akawanda akakomberedzwa nemasvingo.+
Asi ndichatumira moto mumaguta ake,
Uye uchaparadza shongwe dziri mumaguta acho ese.”+
