2 Akĩanĩrĩra, agĩũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩu na ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee kĩgongona gĩkĩ, kĩgongona gĩkĩ! Jehova ekuuga ũũ, ‘Nyũmba ya Daudi nĩgũgaciarwo kaana ga kahĩĩ, nako gageetwo Josia. Nako nĩgakaruta athĩnjĩrĩ-Ngai a gũkũ gũtũũgĩru igongona haha igũrũ rĩaku, o acio marutagĩra magongona haha, na mahĩndĩ ma andũ nĩmagacinĩrwo igũrũ rĩaku.’”
Akadanidzira kuaritari akati, “Iwe aritari, aritari! Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Mwanakomana anonzi Josia achaberekwa muimba yaDhavhidhi. Vaprista vamatunhu akakwirira vari kupisira zvinonhuhwira pano zvino, achavabayira pamusoro pako, uye mapfupa avanhu achapiswa pamusoro pako.’”
3 Mũthenya o ro ũcio, mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai akĩheana kĩmenyithia, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Jehova onanĩtie: Kĩgongona nĩgĩgwatũkana, naguo mũhu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ rĩakĩo ũitĩke.”
Musi mumwe chete iwoyo munhu waMwari akapa chiratidzo akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chataurwa naJehovha: Aritari ichatsemuka uye madota ari pamusoro payo acharasirwa pasi.”
4 Rĩrĩa Mũthamaki Jeroboamu aaiguire ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aanĩrĩire agokĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩu kĩarĩ Betheli, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake arĩ kĩgongona-inĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũnyiitei!” No rĩrĩ, guoko kũu aatambũrũkĩirie mũndũ ũcio gũkĩonja, na ndangĩahotire gũgũthuna rĩngĩ.

5 Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩu gĩgĩatũkana, naguo mũhu wakĩo ũgĩitĩka, kũringana na kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aheanĩte na ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
Aritariwo yakatsemuka uye madota ayo akarasikira pasi zvichienderana nechiratidzo chakanga chapiwa nomunhu waMwari nokuda kweshoko raJehovha.
6 Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Thaithanĩra harĩ Jehova Ngai waku, na ũũhooere nĩguo guoko gwakwa kũhonio.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩthaitha Jehova, nakuo guoko kwa mũthamaki gũkĩhona na gũgĩcooka o ũrĩa kwarĩ mbere.
Ipapo mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Ndinamatirewo kuna Jehovha Mwari wako uchindinamatira kuti ruoko rwangu ruporeswe.” Naizvozvo munhu waMwari akamunamatira kuna Jehovha ruoko rwamambo rukaporeswa rukaita sezvarwakanga rwakaita pakutanga.
7 Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe, na nĩngũkũhe kĩheo.”
Mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Handei kumba kwangu undowana zvaungadya, uye ndichakupa chipo.”
8 No mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “O na korwo no ũhe nuthu ya indo ciaku-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩthiĩ nawe, o na ndingĩrĩa irio kana nyue maaĩ gũkũ.
Asi munhu waMwari akapindura mambo akati, “Kunyange maindipa hafu yezvose zvamunazvo, handaimboenda nemi, uye handaimbodya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kuno.
9 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova, ngeerwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio, kana ũnyue maaĩ, o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
Nokuti ndakarayirwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kana kudzoka nenzira yawabva nayo.’”
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgera njĩra ĩngĩ na ndaacookeire ĩrĩa aagereire agĩthiĩ Betheli.
Saka akaenda neimwe nzira, haana kudzokera nenzira yaakanga auya nayo kuBheteri.
11 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ mũnabii mũkũrũ watũũraga Betheli, nao ariũ ake magĩũka makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai eekĩte kũu mũthenya ũcio. O na ningĩ makĩhe ithe wao ũhoro ũrĩa eerire mũthamaki.

Akatevera munhu waMwari. Akamuwana agere pasi pomuti womuouki akamubvunza akati, “Ndiwe here munhu waMwari akabva kuJudha?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe.”
Ipapo muprofita akati kwaari, “Handei kumba kwangu undodya.”
16 Mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩcooka na thuutha tũthiĩ nawe, o na ningĩ ndingĩrĩa irio kana nyuanĩre maaĩ nawe gũkũ.
Munhu waMwari akati, “Handigoni kudzoka nemi, zvakare handigoni kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura nemi panzvimbo ino.
17 Tondũ nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio kana ũnyue maaĩ kũu o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
Ndakaudzwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura ikoko kana kudzoka nenzira yaunenge wauya nayo.’”
18 Mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndĩ mũnabii tawe. Mũraika nĩanjarĩirie na kiugo kĩa Jehova anjĩĩra atĩrĩ: ‘Mũgĩĩre mũcooke nake gwaku mũciĩ nĩguo arĩe irio na anyue maaĩ.’” (No nĩkũmũheenia aamũheenagia).
Muprofita akanga ava harahwa akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndiri muprofita sezvawakaita. Zvino mutumwa ati kwandiri neshoko raJehovha, ‘Dzoka naye kumba kwako kuitira kuti adye chingwa uye anwe mvura.’” Asi akanga achimunyepera.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩcooka nake gwake mũciĩ, akĩrĩa na akĩnyua.
Saka munhu waMwari akadzokera naye akandodya uye akanwa mumba make.
20 Maikarĩte o metha-inĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ ũrĩa wacooketie mũnabii wa kuuma Juda na thuutha.
Zvavakanga vachakagara patafura, shoko raJehovha rakauya kumuprofita akanga ava harahwa, uyo akanga amudzosa.
21 Akĩanĩrĩra, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai ũrĩa woimĩte Juda atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩũreganĩte na kiugo kĩa Jehova, na ũkaaga kũrũmia watho ũrĩa waathirwo nĩ Jehova Ngai waku.
Akadanidzira kumunhu waMwari akanga abva kuJudha akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Hauna kuteerera shoko raJehovha uye hauna kuchengeta murayiro wawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
22 No nĩũcookete na thuutha, na ũkarĩa irio na ũkanyua maaĩ kũndũ kũrĩa aakwĩrire ndũkaarĩe na ndũkanyue kĩndũ kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩrĩ waku ndũgaathikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya maithe maku.’”
Wadzoka ukadya chingwa uye ukanwa mvura munzvimbo yaakakuudza kuti usadya kana kunwa. Naizvozvo mutumbi wako hausi kuzovigwa muguva ramadzibaba ako.’”
23 Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aarĩkirie kũrĩa na kũnyua-rĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie na thuutha akĩmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri yake.
Munhu waMwari paakapedza kudya nokunwa, muprofita akanga amudzosa akamusungirira chigaro pambongoro.
24 Na agĩthiĩ na njĩra-rĩ, agĩtũngana na mũrũũthi ũkĩmũũraga, naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩgũa thĩ hau njĩra-inĩ, nayo ndigiri na mũrũũthi cierĩ ikĩrũgama hau mwĩrĩ warĩ.
Akati ava munzira, shumba yakasangana naye panzira, ikamuuraya, mutumbi wake ukakandwa munzira, mbongoro neshumba zvikamira pauri.
25 Andũ amwe arĩa maahĩtũkagĩra hau makĩona mwĩrĩ ũgũĩte hau thĩ, na mũrũũthi ũrũgamĩte o hau mwĩrĩ warĩ, nao magĩthiĩ makĩheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ aatũũraga.
Vamwe vanhu vaipfuura nepo vakaona mutumbi uyu wakakandwa panzira, shumba yakamira parutivi pomutumbi, vakaenda vakandozvitaura muguta maigara muprofita uya akanga ava harahwa.
26 Rĩrĩa mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie na thuutha kuuma rũgendo-inĩ rwake aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrareganire na kiugo kĩa Jehova. Jehova nĩamũneanĩte kũrĩ mũrũũthi ũrĩa ũmũtambuurĩte na ũkaamũũraga, o ta ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩamwĩrĩte.”
Muprofita akanga amudzosa parwendo rwake paakazvinzwa, akati, “Ndiye munhu waMwari asina kuteerera shoko raJehovha. Jehovha amupa kushumba, iyo yamubvambura nokumuuraya, sokumuyambira kwakanga kwaita shoko raJehovha.”
27 Mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
Muprofita akati kuvanakomana vake, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro,” ivo vakaita saizvozvo.
28 Nake akiumagara agĩthiĩ, agĩkora mwĩrĩ ũgũithĩtio njĩra-inĩ, na mũrũũthi na ndigiri irũgamĩte o hau warĩ. Mũrũũthi ndwarĩte mwĩrĩ ũcio kana ũgatambuura ndigiri.
Ipapo akaenda akandoona mutumbi wakakandwa panzira, mbongoro neshumba zvakamira parutivi pawo. Shumba yakanga isina kudya mutumbi kana kubvambura mbongoro.
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio akĩoya mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai, akĩũigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ndigiri, akĩũcookia itũũra-inĩ rĩake inene nĩgeetha amũcakaĩre na amũthike.
Saka muprofita akasimudza mutumbi womunhu waMwari, akauisa pamusoro pembongoro akadzoka nawo kuguta rake kuti andomuchema uye amuvige.
30 Nake akĩiga mwĩrĩ ũcio mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake mwene, nao makĩmũcakaĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi mũrũ wa baba-ĩ!”
Akaisa mutumbi wake muguva rake, vakamuchema vakati, “Yowe-e, hama yangu!”
31 Aarĩkia kũmũthika, akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa ngaakua, mũgaathika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩno harĩa mũndũ ũyũ wa Ngai athikĩtwo; mũkaiga mahĩndĩ makwa hau mwena-inĩ wa mahĩndĩ make.
Mushure mokumuviga, akati kuvanakomana vake, “Kana ndafa, mundivige muguva mataviga munhu waMwari; muise mapfupa angu parutivi peake.
32 Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa aaheanire uumanĩte na kiugo kĩa Jehova wa gũũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩrĩ Betheli o na mahooero mothe marĩa maarĩ kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma Samaria-rĩ, ti-itherũ ũndũ ũcio no nginya ũkaahingio.”
Nokuti zvaakataura neshoko raJehovha pamusoro pearitari iri muBheteri napamusoro pedzimba dzose dziri panzvimbo dzakakwirira mumaguta eSamaria zvichaitika saizvozvo.”
33 O na thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Jeroboamu ndaatiganire na njĩra ciake cia waganu, no aathiire na mbere kwamũra athĩnjĩri-ngai a kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, kuuma kũrĩ andũ a mĩthemba yothe. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩendire gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-ngai, nĩamwamũraga nĩ ũndũ wa kũndũ kũu gũtũũgĩru.
