Jeremiya
6 Hwandai kure neJerusarema haiwa vanakomana vaBhenjamini.
Nekuti dambudziko rava kutosvika richibva kuchamhembe, dambudziko rakakura.+
2 Mwanasikana weZiyoni akafanana nemukadzi ane runako, akagarika.+
3 Vafudzi vachauya nezvipfuwo zvavo.
4 “Gadzirirai kumurwisa!
Simukai timurwise ari masikati!”
“Tine nhamo, nekuti kwava kuda kuvira,
Nekuti mimvuri yemanheru iri kuramba ichireba!”
6 Nekuti zvanzi naJehovha wemauto:
“Temai miti muunganidze murwi wekukomba Jerusarema.+
Iguta rinofanira kuzvidavirira;
Rizere neudzvinyiriri chete.+
7 Rakachengeta zvakaipa zvaro zvichitonhorera,
Sezvinoita mugodhi unochengeta mvura yawo ichitonhorera.
Mariri munonzwika mhirizhonga nekuparadza;+
Urwere nedambudziko zvinogara zviri pamberi pangu.
8 Bvuma kuyambirwa, haiwa iwe Jerusarema kuti ndisakusiya ndasemeswa* newe;+
Ndichakuita dongo, nyika isingagarwi nevanhu.”+
9 Zvanzi naJehovha wemauto:
“Vachanyatsounganidza vaIsraeri vakasara semazambiringa ekupedzisira pamuzambiringa.
Pfuudza ruoko rwako zvakare semunhu ari kutanha mazambiringa pamizambiringa.”
10 “Ndichataura naani ndimuyambire?
Ndiani achateerera?
Onai! Nzeve dzavo dzakavhara* zvekuti havakwanisi kuteerera.+
Onai! Kwavari shoko raJehovha rava chinhu chavanoshora;+
Havarifariri.
“Dururira kutsamwa kwacho pamwana ari mumugwagwa,+
Pamapoka emajaya akaungana.
Vese vachatapwa, murume pamwe chete nemudzimai wake,
Varume vakwegura pamwe chete nevaya vakwegura zvakanyanya.*+
Nekuti ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pavagari vemunyika yacho,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
13 “Nekuti kubvira kumudiki kusvika kumukuru, mumwe nemumwe ari kuwana pfuma nekubiridzira;+
Kubvira kumuprofita kusvika kumupristi, mumwe nemumwe ari kubiridzira.+
14 Vanoedza kurapa ronda revanhu vangu zvekungonyepedzera, vachiti,
‘Kune runyararo! Kune runyararo!’
Iko kusina runyararo.+
15 Vanonyara here nezvinhu zvinosemesa zvavakaita?
Havatombonyari!
Havatombozivi kuti kunyara kwacho kuita sei!+
Saka vachawa pakati pevaya vakawa.
Vachagumburwa pandichavaranga,” anodaro Jehovha.
16 Zvanzi naJehovha:
“Mirai pamharadzano dzemugwagwa muone.
Asi ivo vanoti: “Hatisi kuzofamba mairi.”+
Asi ivo vakati: “Hatisi kuzoteerera.”+
18 “Saka inzwai, haiwa imi marudzi!
Uye ziva zvichaitika kwavari,
Haiwa iwe ungano.
19 Teerera, haiwa iwe nyika!
Ndiri kuunza dambudziko pavanhu ava+
Nemhaka yezvirongwa zvavo,
Nekuti havana kuteerera mashoko angu
Uye vakaramba mutemo* wangu.”
20 “Ndine basa nazvo here kuti munouya nezvinonhuhwirira zvichena kubva kuShebha
Netsanga dzinonhuhwirira kubva kunyika iri kure?
Mipiro yenyu inopiswa handiigamuchiri,
Uye zvibayiro zvenyu hazvindifadzi.”+
21 Saka zvanzi naJehovha:
“Ndiri kuisira vanhu ava zvipinganidzo,
Uye vachagumburwa nazvo,
Vanababa nevanakomana pamwe chete,
Muvakidzani neshamwari yake,
Uye vese vachaparara.”+
22 Zvanzi naJehovha:
“Onai! Kune vanhu vari kuuya vachibva kunyika yekuchamhembe,
Uye pachamutswa rudzi rukuru runobva kumativi ari kure kwazvo enyika.+
23 Vachabata uta nepfumo diki.
Vane utsinye uye havazovi netsitsi.
Inzwi ravo richatinhira segungwa,
Uye vakatasva mabhiza.+
Vanoronga uto ravo semurume wehondo kuti varwe newe, haiwa iwe mwanasikana weZiyoni.”
24 Tanzwa mashoko pamusoro parwo.
25 Musabuda muchienda musango,
Uye musafamba mumugwagwa,
Nekuti muvengi ane bakatwa;
Kumativi ese kuri kutyisa zvikuru.
Chema uchirwadziwa chaizvo semunhu ari kuchema mwanakomana wake mumwe chete,+
Nekuti muparadzi achangoerekana auya kwatiri.+
27 “Ndakakuita* munhu anoedza simbi pakati pevanhu vangu,
Munhu anonyatsotsvaga;
Unofanira kucherechedza uye kuongorora nzira yavo.
Vakaita semhangura nesimbi;
Vese zvavo vakaipa.
Mumoto wadzo munobuda mutobvu.
