uye akati: “Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba edu, hamusimi here Mwari wokudenga? Munotonga umambo hwose huri panyika. Simba noukuru zviri muruoko rwenyu. Uye hapana angagona kukukundai.
7 Wee Ngai witũ-rĩ, githĩ ndwaingatire arĩa maikaraga bũrũri ũyũ mbere ya andũ aku a Isiraeli na ũkĩũhe njiaro cia mũrataguo Iburahĩmu nginya tene?
Haiwa Mwari wedu, hamuna here kudzinga vagari venyika ino pamberi pavanhu venyu Israeri mukaipa zvachose kuvana vaAbhurahama, shamwari yenyu?
8 Nĩmatũũrĩte kuo o na magaaka hekarũ kuo ĩrĩa ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, makiugaga atĩrĩ,
Vakararama mairi, uye vakavakira mairi imba yeZita renyu vachiti,
9 ‘Mũtino ũngĩgatũkora o na ũrĩ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rwa gũtũrũithia, kana mũthiro kana ngʼaragu, tũkaarũgama mbere yaku hekarũ-inĩ ĩno ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩtũgaagũkaĩra tũrĩ hatĩka-inĩ, nawe nĩũgatũigua ũtũhonokie.’
‘Kana dambudziko rikatiwira, ringava pfumo rokutonga kana denda, kana nzara, tichamira muuvepo hwenyu pamberi petemberi ine Zita renyu, uye tichachema kwamuri mukutambudzika kwedu uye imi muchatinzwa mugotinunura.’
10 “No rĩu, haha harĩ na andũ a kuuma Amoni, na Moabi, na Kĩrĩma kĩa Seiru, arĩa wagiririe andũ a Isiraeli matharĩkĩre mabũrũri mao rĩrĩa moimaga Misiri; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmeherera na matiigana kũmaniina.
“Asi zvino ava varume vabva kuAmoni, Moabhu neGomo reSeiri vane nyika yamusina kutendera Israeri kuti itore payakabva kuIjipiti. Saka vakavarega uye vakasavaparadza.
11 Ta kĩone kĩrĩa maragĩtũrĩha nakĩo, tondũ mokĩte gũtũingata kũrĩa watũheire gũtuĩke igai riitũ.

Haiwa Mwari wedu, hamungavatongi here? Nokuti isu hatina simba rokutonga hondo huru yakadai iri kuuya kuzotirwisa. Hatizivi kuti tingaita sei, asi meso edu akatarisa kwamuri.”
13 Arũme othe a Juda, na atumia ao, na ciana na twana twao twa ngenge, makĩrũgama o hau mbere ya Jehova.
Varume vose veJudha, navakadzi vavo navana vadiki, vakamira pamberi paJehovha.
14 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho wa Jehova ũgĩkinyĩrĩra Jahazieli mũrũ wa Zekaria mũrũ wa Benaia, mũrũ wa Jeieli mũrũ wa Matania ũrĩa Mũlawii wa rũciaro rwa Asafu rĩrĩa aarũgamĩte kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu.
Ipapo mweya waMwari wakauya pana Jahazieri mwanakomana waZekaria, mwanakomana waBhenaya, mwanakomana waJeyeri, mwanakomana waMatania muRevhi uye chizvarwa chorudzi rwaAsafi, paakanga akamira muungano.
15 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩria, wee Mũthamaki Jehoshafatu na arĩa othe mũtũũraga Juda na Jerusalemu! Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekũmwĩra: ‘Mũtigetigĩre kana mũkue ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa mbũtũ ĩno nene ya ita. Nĩgũkorwo mbaara ĩno ti yanyu, no nĩ ya Ngai.
Akati, “Teererai, Mambo Jehoshafati navose vanogara muJudha neJerusarema! Zvanzi naJehovha kwamuri, ‘Musatya kana kuora mwoyo nokuda kwehondo iyi huru, nokuti kurwa uku hakusi kwenyu, asi ndokwaMwari.
16 Rũciũ, rokai gũikũrũka mũmatharĩkĩre. Magaakorwo makĩhaica magereire Mwanya-inĩ wa Zizi na nĩmũkamakorerera mũthia-inĩ wa mũkuru wa kũu Werũ wa Jerueli.
Mangwana dzikai mundovarwisa. Vachange vachikwidza nomuMupata weZizi uye muchavawana kumagumo omupata muGwenga reJerueri.
17 Ti inyuĩ mũkũrũa mbaara ĩno. Rũgamai mwena wanyu, mwĩhaandei wega na mwĩonere ũrĩa Jehova ekũmũhonokia, inyuĩ andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu. Mũtigetigĩre, na mũtigakue ngoro. Umagarai mũkangʼethanĩre nao rũciũ, nake Jehova nĩagakorwo hamwe na inyuĩ.’”
Hamusi kuzorwa hondo iyi. Torai nzvimbo dzenyu; mumire makasimba mugoona kununurwa kwamuchapiwa naJehovha, imi Judha neJerusarema. Musatya; musaora mwoyo, endai mundovarwisa mangwana, uye Jehovha achava nemi.’”
18 Jehoshafatu akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, nao andũ othe a Juda na a Jerusalemu makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Jehova, makĩmũhooya.
Jehoshafati akakotamisa chiso chake pasi uye vanhu vose veJudha neJerusarema vakawira pasi vachinamata pamberi paJehovha.
19 Ningĩ Alawii amwe a kuuma rũciaro rwa Kohathu na rwa Kora magĩũkĩra na igũrũ, magĩkumia Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli maanĩrĩire na mũgambo mũnene mũno.
Ipapo vamwe vaRevhi kubva kuvaKohati navaKorahi vakasimuka vakarumbidza Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri nenzwi guru kwazvo.
20 Rũciinĩ tene mũno makiuma merekeire Werũ wa Tekoa. Na rĩrĩa maambĩrĩirie kuuma-rĩ, Jehoshafatu akĩrũgama, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ andũ a Juda o na a Jerusalemu! Ĩtĩkiai Jehova Ngai wanyu na nĩekũmũtirĩrĩra; ĩtĩkiai anabii ake na nĩmũkũgaacĩra.”
Mangwanani-ngwanani vakaenda kuGwenga reTekoa. Vava kuenda, Jehoshafati akasimuka akati, “Teererai kwandiri, Judha navanhu veJerusarema! Tendai Jehovha Mwari wenyu ipapo muchasimbiswa; tendai vaprofita vake ipapo muchabudirira.”
21 Thuutha wa kwaranĩria na andũ, Jehoshafatu agĩthuura andũ a kũinĩra Jehova na a kũmũgooca nĩ ũndũ wa riiri wa ũtheru wake, nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa megũtongoria mbũtũ ĩyo ya ita, makiugaga atĩrĩ: “Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.”
Shure kwokunge abvunzana navanhu, Jehoshafati akagadza varume kuti vaimbire Jehovha uye vamurumbidze nokuda kwokunaka kwoutsvene hwake pavaifamba vari mberi kwehondo, vachiti: “Vongai Jehovha, nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
22 Na rĩrĩa maambĩrĩirie kũina o na kũgooca-rĩ, Jehova akĩiga andũ mohie andũ a Amoni, na a Moabi, na andũ a kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Seiru arĩa maatharĩkagĩra Juda, nao magĩtoorio.
Pavakatanga kuimba vachirumbidza, Jehovha akaisa vavandiri kuti varwise varume veAmoni neMoabhu neveGomo reSeiri vaiuya kuzorwisa Judha, uye vakakundwa.
23 Nao andũ a Amoni na a Moabi magĩũkĩrĩra andũ a kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Seiru, makĩmananga na makĩmaniina biũ. Maarĩkia kũũraga andũ a kuuma Seiru, magĩteithĩrĩria kũniinana o ene.
Varume veAmoni neMoabhu vakasimuka vakarwisa varume vaibva kuGomo reSeiri kuti vavaparadze zvachose. Vapedza kuuraya varume veSeiri vakaurayana pachavo.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Juda maakinyire harĩa hangʼethanĩire na werũ-rĩ, magĩcũthĩrĩria mbũtũ ĩyo nene ya ita, makĩona no ciimba theri ciagwĩte thĩ; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wetharĩte.
Varume veJudha pavakasvika panzvimbo yakatarisana nerenje vakatarisa kwakanga kwaimbova nehondo huru vakangoona mitumbi yavanhu vakafa yakati rakata; hapana akapunyuka.
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoshafatu na andũ ake magĩthiĩ gũtaha indo, na thĩinĩ wacio makĩona indo nyingĩ na nguo o na indo cia goro nyingĩ gũkĩra ũrĩa mangĩahotire gũkuua. Ciarĩ nyingĩ ũũ atĩ maaniinire mĩthenya ĩtatũ gũciũngania.
Saka Jehoshafati navanhu vake vakaenda kundotakura pfuma yavakanga vapamba, uye vakawana pakati pezvinhu izvi nhumbi dzakawanda nezvipfeko nemidziyo inokosha, yakawanda kupfuura zvavaikwanisa kutakura. Paiva nezvakapambwa zvakawanda kwazvo zvokuti vakapedza mazuva matatu vachingotakura.
26 Mũthenya wa kana makĩũngana Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beraka, kũrĩa maagooceire Jehova. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga gwĩtwo Gĩtuamba kĩa Beraka nginya ũmũthĩ.
Pazuva rechina vakaungana muMupata weBheraka pavakarumbidza Jehovha. Ndokusaka uchiri kunzi Mupata weBheraka kusvikira nhasi.
27 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Juda na a Jerusalemu, matongoretio nĩ Jehoshafatu, magĩcooka Jerusalemu makenete, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamaheete gĩtũmi gĩa gũkenerera thũ ciao.
Ipapo vachitungamirirwa naJehoshafati, varume vose veJudha neJerusarema vakadzoka nomufaro kuJerusarema, nokuti Jehovha akanga avapa chikonzero chokufara pamusoro pavavengi vavo.
28 Magĩtoonya Jerusalemu na magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova marĩ na inanda cia mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ, na tũrumbeta.
Vakapinda muJerusarema vakaenda kutemberi yaJehovha nembira nemitengeranwa nehwamanda.
29 Namo mothamaki mothe ma mabũrũri magĩĩtigĩra Ngai rĩrĩa maiguire ũrĩa Jehova aarũĩte na thũ cia Isiraeli.
Kutya Mwari kwakauya pamadzimambo ose nenyika pavakanzwa kuti Jehovha akanga arwisa sei vavengi veIsraeri.
30 Naguo ũthamaki wa Jehoshafatu ũgĩikara ũrĩ na thayũ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai wake nĩamũheete ũhurũko mĩena-inĩ yothe.
Uye nyika yaJehoshafati yakava norunyararo, nokuti Mwari wake akanga amupa zororo kumativi ose.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehoshafatu agĩthamakĩra Juda; nake aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Azuba mwarĩ wa Shilihi.
Saka Jehoshafati akatonga Judha. Akanga ana makore makumi matatu namashanu paakava mambo weJudha, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi maviri namashanu. Mai vake vainzi Azubha mwanasikana waShiri.
32 Nake akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya ithe Asa na ndaigana gũtigana nayo; agĩĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
Akafamba nomunzira dzababa vake Asa uye haana kutsauka kubva madziri; akaita zvakanga zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha.
33 No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtiigana kweherio, nao andũ matiigana kwerekeria ngoro ciao kũrĩ Ngai wa maithe mao.
Asi nzvimbo dzakakwirira hadzina kubviswa uye vanhu havana kunge vaisa mwoyo yavo kuna Mwari wamadzibaba avo.
34 Ciĩko iria ingĩ cia wathani wa Jehoshafatu kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩciandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma o mwaka rĩa Jehu mũrũ wa Hanani, marĩa mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli.
Mamwe mabasa okutonga kwaJehoshafati kubva pakutanga kusvikira pakupedzisira, akanyorwa mumashoko enhoroondo yaJehu mwanakomana waHanani, akanyorwa mubhuku ramadzimambo eIsraeri.
35 Thuutha ũcio Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩtuma ũrata na Ahazia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa warĩ na maũndũ maingĩ ma waganu.
Mushure maizvozvi, Jehoshafati mambo weJudha akaita chitenderano naAhazia mambo weIsraeri uyo akanga akaipa kwazvo.
36 Makĩiguana nake atĩ maake marikabu cia wonjoria. Nao maarĩkia gũciakĩra kũu Ezioni-Geberi,
Akatenderana naye kuvaka zvikepe zvaizoenda kuTashishi. Mushure mokunge zvikepe izvi zvapera kuvakwa paEzioni Gebheri,
37 Eliezeri mũrũ wa Dodavahu wa kuuma Maresha akĩrathĩra Jehoshafatu ũrathi wa ũrĩa akoona ũũru, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩũgĩĩte ũrata na Ahazia, Jehova nĩekwananga kĩrĩa wakĩte.” Nacio marikabu igĩtharũranio, na itiigana gũthiĩ iria-inĩ ikarute wĩra wa wonjoria.
