Ndingasiya basa richimira ndichiuya ikoko here?” 4 Vakanditumira shoko rimwe chetero kanokwana kana, asi ndaingovapa mhinduro imwe chete.
5 Sanibharati akazotuma mushandi wake kwandiri neshoko rimwe chete iroro kechishanu, aine tsamba yakavhurika muruoko rwake. 6 Yakanga yakanyorwa kuti: “Marudzi akanzwa nezvazvo, uye Geshemu+ ari kuzvitaurawo, kuti iwe nevaJudha muri kuronga kupanduka.+ Ndokusaka uri kuvaka rusvingo; uye zviri kunzi uchava mambo wavo. 7 Wakatogadzawo vaprofita kuti vazivise nezvako muJerusarema rese, vachiti, ‘MuJudha muna mambo!’ Mambo achaudzwa zvinhu izvi. Saka huya titaure nezvenyaya iyi.”
8 Zvisinei, ndakamutumira mhinduro iyi: “Zvinhu zvauri kutaura hazvina kumboitika; uri kungotaurawo zvauri kuruka mumusoro mako.”* 9 Nekuti vese vaiedza kutityisidzira, vachiti: “Maoko avo achaneta pabasa racho, uye harizoitwi.”+ Saka ndinonyengetera kuti musimbise maoko angu.+
10 Ndakabva ndaenda kumba kwaShemaya mwanakomana waDheraya mwanakomana waMehetabheri uyo akanga akazvivharira ikoko. Iye akati: “Ngatirongei nguva yekusangana paimba yaMwari wechokwadi, mutemberi, tovhara masuo etemberi, nekuti vari kuuya kuzokuuraya. Vari kuuya kuzokuuraya usiku.” 11 Asi ndakati: “Munhu akaita seni angatiza here? Munhu akaita seni angapinda mutemberi akararama here?+ Handisi kuzopinda!” 12 Ndakabva ndaziva kuti akanga asina kutumwa naMwari, asi kuti Tobhiya naSanibharati+ ndivo vakanga vamutenga kuti ataure uprofita uhwu kwandiri. 13 Akanga atengwa kuti andityisidzire uye kuti aite kuti nditadze, vobva vawana zvikonzero zvekusvibisa zita rangu, ndozvidzwa.
