17 “Chivi chaJudha chakanyorwa nechinyoreso chesimbi.
Chakatemerwa nechinyoreso chine muromo wedhaimondi pahwendefa remwoyo yavo
Uye panyanga dzeatari dzavo,
2 Uyewo vanakomana vavo vari kuyeuka atari dzavo nemapango avo anoyera*+
Pedyo nemuti wakasvibirira, muzvikomo zvakakwirira,+
3 Nemumakomo ari kumaruwa.
Ndichaita kuti pfuma yako, zvinhu zvako zvese zvinokosha zvipambwe+
Idzo nzvimbo dzako dzakakwirira nekuda kwechivi chiri munharaunda dzako dzese.+
4 Uchasiya wega nhaka yako yandakakupa.+
Uye ndichaita kuti ushandire vavengi vako munyika yausingazivi,+
Kucharamba kuchibvira.”
5 Zvanzi naJehovha:
6 Achaita semuti uri wega mugwenga.
Haazooni zvakanaka pazvinouya,
Asi achagara munzvimbo dzakaoma murenje,
Munyika ine munyu isingagariki.
8 Achaita semuti wakadyarwa pedyo nemvura,
Unoendesa midzi yawo kurukova.
Haazozvioni kuti kwava kupisa,
Asi mashizha ake achagara akasvibirira.+
Uye haazonetseki gore rakusinganayi mvura,
Uyewo haazoregi kubereka zvibereko.
9 Mwoyo unonyengera* kupfuura zvinhu zvese uye wakaipa kwazvo.*+
Ndiani angauziva?
10 Ini, Jehovha, ndiri kunzvera mwoyo,+
Ndiri kuongorora pfungwa dzakadzama,*
Kuti ndipe mumwe nemumwe zvinoenderana nenzira dzake,
Zvinoenderana nezvibereko zvemabasa ake.+
11 Sechikwari chinounganidza zvachisina kukandira,
Pfuma yacho ichamusiya pakati peupenyu hwake,
Uye upenzi hwake huchabuda pachena.”
13 Haiwa Jehovha, tariro yaIsraeri,
Vaya vese vanokusiyai vachanyadziswa.
Vaya vanotsauka vachibva kwamuri* vachanyorwa muvhu,+
Nekuti vakasiya Jehovha, tsime remvura mhenyu.+
14 Haiwa Jehovha, ndiporesei uye ndichapora.
Ndiponesei, uye ndichaponeswa,+
Nekuti ndimi wandinorumbidza.
15 Inzwai! Kune vaya vari kuti kwandiri:
“Shoko raJehovha riri kupi?+
Tapota ngariuye!”
16 Asi ini handina kutiza ndichirega kukuteverai semufudzi,
Uye handina kumboti dai zuva redambudziko rauya zvaro.
Munonyatsoziva zvese zvakataurwa nemuromo wangu;
Zvese zvakaitika pamberi pechiso chenyu!
17 Musandityisa.
Ndimi nzvimbo yangu yekupotera pazuva redambudziko.
Itai kuti vavhundutswe,
Asi ini musandirega ndichivhundutswa.
19 Jehovha akati kwandiri: “Enda unomira pagedhi revanakomana vevanhu vacho iro rinoshandiswa nemadzimambo eJudha pakupinda nekubuda, uye pamagedhi ese eJerusarema.+ 20 Uti kwavari, ‘Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi madzimambo eJudha, vanhu vese veJudha, nevagari vese vemuJerusarema, imi munopinda nepamagedhi aya. 21 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Chenjererai zvamunoita* uye musatakura chero mutoro upi zvawo pazuva reSabata kana kuupinza nepamagedhi eJerusarema.+ 22 Hapana chinhu chamunofanira kutakura muchibudisa mudzimba dzenyu pazuva reSabata; uye hamutombofaniri kuita basa.+ Chengetai zuva reSabata riri dzvene, sezvandakarayira madzitateguru enyu.+ 23 Asi ivo havana kuteerera kana kurereka nzeve yavo, uye vakaomesa misoro* yavo vachiramba kuteerera uye kurangwa.”’+
24 “‘“Asi kana mukanyatsonditeerera,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha, “porega kuva nemutoro wamunopinza nepamagedhi eguta rino pazuva reSabata uye mochengeta zuva reSabata riri dzvene kuburikidza nekurega kuita basa chero ripi zvaro pariri,+ 25 madzimambo nemachinda anogara pachigaro cheumambo chaDhavhidhi+ achapindawo nepamagedhi eguta rino ari mungoro uye pamabhiza, iwo nemachinda awo, varume veJudha nevagari vemuJerusarema;+ uye guta rino richaramba richigarwa. 26 Uye vanhu vachauya vachibva kumaguta eJudha, munzvimbo dzakapoteredza Jerusarema, munyika yaBhenjamini,+ munyika yakadzikira,+ munzvimbo ine makomo, nekuNegebhu,* vachiuya muimba yaJehovha nemipiro inopiswa,+ zvibayiro,+ mipiro yezviyo,*+ nezvinonhuhwirira zvichena nezvibayiro zvekuonga.+
27 “‘“Asi kana mukasanditeerera muchirega kuchengeta zuva reSabata riri dzvene uye muchitakura mitoro nekupinda nayo nepamagedhi eJerusarema pazuva reSabata, ndichapisa magedhi aro uye moto wacho uchapisa shongwe dzakasimba dzeJerusarema+ uye hauzodzimwi.”’”+
