1 “Mũndũ angĩtigana na mũtumia wake, nake mũtumia ũcio athiĩ ahikĩre mũndũ ũngĩ-rĩ, mũthuuri ũcio no amũcookerere? Githĩ bũrũri ũcio to ũthaahe biũ? No wee-rĩ, ũtũũrĩte ũhũũraga ũmaraya na endwa aku aingĩ mũno! Rĩu-rĩ, wee no ũnjookerere?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
“Kana murume akaramba mukadzi wake, iye akamusiya hake akandowanikwa nomumwe murume, murume uyu angadzokerazve kwaari here? Ko, nyika haingasvibiswi here? Asi iwe wakararama sechifeve navadiwa vazhinji, zvino ungadzokera kwandiri here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
2 “Ta tiira maitho ũcũthĩrĩrie tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma kũrĩa gũtigĩtwo ũtheri. Nĩ kũrĩ handũ ũtarĩ wakomwo nawe? Mĩkĩra-inĩ ya njĩra-rĩ, nĩkuo wetagĩrĩra endwa aku, kũu nĩkuo waikaraga thĩ ũkameterera, o ta Mũarabu arĩ werũ-inĩ. Wee nĩũthaahĩtie bũrũri ũyũ na ũmaraya waku na waganu waku.
“Tarira kunzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti uone. Iripo here nzvimbo yausina kumboitira ufeve? Mujinga menzira wakagaramo wakamirira zvikomba, wakagara kunge vanhu vouragu vari murenje. Wakasvibisa nyika noufeve hwako uye nezvakaipa zvako.
3 Tondũ wa ũguo-rĩ, mbura ya maguna-ngʼombe nĩĩgirĩtio yure, o na ĩrĩa ya gũkũria irio nayo ĩkaaga kuura. No rĩrĩ, wee nĩũmĩtie gĩthiithi ta kĩa mũmaraya, ũkaaga thoni o na hanini.
Naizvozvo wakanyimwa mvura inopfunha, uye nemvura yomuchirimo haina kunaya.
4 Githĩ to rĩu wanjĩta ũkiugaga: ‘Baba, wee mũrata wakwa kuuma ndĩ o mũnini,
Ko, handiti uchangobva pakundidana here uchiti, ‘Baba vangu, shamwari yangu kubva pauduku hwangu,
5 kaĩ ũgũgĩtũũra ũrakarĩte? Mangʼũrĩ macio maku-rĩ, megũgĩthiĩ na mbere nginya tene?’ Ũguo nĩguo waragia, no ũgacooka ũgeeka ũũru wothe ũrĩa ũngĩhota.”
muchagara makatsamwa here? Kutsamwa kwenyu kucharamba kuripo nokusingaperi here?’ Aya ndiwo matauriro ako, asi unoita zvakaipa zvose zvaunogona kuita.”
6 Matukũ-inĩ ma wathani wa Mũthamaki Josia, Jehova nĩanjũririe atĩrĩ: “Ĩĩ nĩwonete ũrĩa Isiraeli aahutatĩire? Nĩahaicĩte gĩthũngũri-inĩ gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩraihu na igũrũ, na agathiĩ rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe ũrĩa mũruru na akahũũrĩra ũmaraya kuo.
Panguva yokutonga kwaMambo Josia, Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Waona here zvaitwa naIsraeri wokusatendeka? Ari kuenda pamusoro pezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira nepasi pemiti yose yakapfumvutira achindoita ufevepo.
7 Ndeciirĩtie atĩ nĩakanjookerera aarĩkia gwĩka maũndũ macio mothe, nowe ndaigana kũnjookerera, nake mwarĩ wa nyina, Juda, ũrĩa ũtaarĩ mwĩhokeku, agĩkĩĩonera maũndũ macio.
Ndakafunga kuti mushure mokuita kwake izvi zvose, achadzokera kwandiri asi iye haana, uye mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka akazviona.
8 Nĩndaheire Isiraeli ũcio wahutatĩire marũa ma gũtigana nake, ngĩmũingata nĩ ũndũ wa ũtharia ũcio wake wothe. No rĩrĩ, nĩndonire atĩ o na Juda, mwarĩ wa nyina ũcio ũtaarĩ mwĩhokeku, ndaarĩ na guoya; o nake nĩoimagarire, agĩthiĩ gũtharia.
Ndakapa Israeri wokusatendeka tsamba yokurambana ndikamudzinga nokuda kwoufeve hwake. Kunyange zvakadaro ndakaona kuti Judha mununʼuna wake wokusatenda haatyi; naiyewo akabuda akandoita ufeve.
9 Tondũ wa ũrĩa Isiraeli oonaga ũmaraya wake ũtarĩ ũndũ mũnene harĩ we, nĩathaahirie bũrũri ũcio, agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhũũra ũmaraya na ũndũ wa kũhooya mahiga na mĩtĩ.
Nokuti ufeve hwaIsraeri hahuna zvahwakareva kwaari, akasvibisa nyika nokufeva namabwe namatanda.
10 O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Juda, mwarĩ wa nyina ũcio ũtaarĩ mwĩhokeku, ndaanjookereire na ngoro yake yothe, no aanjookereire na ũhinga,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Kunyange izvi zvakadaro, mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka haana kudzokera kwandiri nomwoyo wake wose, asi kunyengera chete,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
11 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Isiraeli, ũrĩa waahuutatĩire-rĩ, nĩ mũthingu gũkĩra Juda, ũcio ũtaarĩ mwĩhokeku.
Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Israeri wokusatenda akarurama kukunda Judha wokusatendeka.
12 Thiĩ ũkahunjanĩrie ndũmĩrĩri ĩno werekeire mwena wa gathigathini, uuge ũũ: “‘Njookerera, wee Isiraeli, o wee ũũhutatĩire,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ‘na niĩ ndigacooka gũkũhetera gĩthiithi na marakara, nĩ ũndũ njiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Ndigũtũũra ndakarĩte nginya tene.
Enda undoparidza shoko iri kurutivi rwokumusoro uchiti, “‘Dzokai imi Israeri vokusatenda,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘Handichazorambi ndakafinyamisa chiso changu kwamuri, nokuti ndizere nengoni,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘handingarambi ndakatsamwa nokusingaperi.
13 Wee ũndũ ũrĩa ũgwĩka-rĩ, no kuumbũra mahĩtia maku, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũremeire Jehova Ngai waku, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa waneitanga, ũkĩĩheanaga kũrĩ ngai cia kũngĩ, rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe mũruru, na ũkaaga kũnjathĩkĩra,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Imi zivai mhosva yenyu chete, kuti makamukira Jehovha Mwari wenyu, mukafadza vamwari vavatorwa muri pasi pomuti mumwe nomumwe wakapfumvutira, uye hamuna kunditeerera,’” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Njookererai, inyuĩ andũ aya mũũhutatĩire, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ mũthuuri wanyu; nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria, ndute mũndũ ũmwe itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe, na angĩ eerĩ ndĩmarute mũhĩrĩga ũmwe, ndĩmũtware Zayuni.
“Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “nokuti ndini murume wenyu. Ndichakusarudzai, ndichatora mumwe chete kubva kune rimwe guta, uye vaviri kubva kuno rumwe rudzi, ndigokuuyisai kuZioni.
15 Nĩngacooka ndĩmũhe arĩithi arĩa ndĩthuurĩire na ngoro yakwa, arĩa makaamũtongoragia marĩ na ũũgĩ o na ũmenyo.”
Ipapo ndichakupai vafudzi vanofadza mwoyo wangu, ivo vachakutungamirirai noruzivo nokunzwisisa.
16 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Matukũ-inĩ macio, rĩrĩa mũgaakorwo mũingĩhĩte mũno gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ-rĩ, andũ matigacooka kuuga, ‘Ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.’ Ũhoro ũcio ndũgatoonya meciiria-inĩ mao kana ũririkanwo; rĩtigeciirio ũhoro warĩo o na kana rĩthondekwo rĩngĩ.
Mumazuva iwayo, pamunenge mawanda zvikuru munyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “vanhu havangazoti, ‘Areka yesungano yaJehovha.’ Hazvingazopindi mundangariro dzavo kana kurangarirwa; havazoishuvi, havangagadziri imwezve.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mageetaga itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu Gĩtĩ kĩa Ũthamaki kĩa Jehova, nacio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩikongana kũu itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Matigacooka kũrũmĩrĩra ũremi wa ũũru wa ngoro ciao.
Panguva iyoyo vachatumidza Jerusarema kuti Chigaro choUshe chaJehovha, uye ndudzi dzose dzichaungana muJerusarema kuzokudza zita raJehovha. Havachazoteverizve kusindimara kwemwoyo yavo yakaipa.
18 Matukũ-inĩ macio nyũmba ya Juda nĩĩkanyiitana na nyũmba ya Isiraeli, na o eerĩ nĩmagooka moimĩte bũrũri wa mwena wa gathigathini, makinye bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe manyu ũtuĩke igai rĩao.
Mumazuva iwayo imba yaJudha ichabatana neimba yaIsraeri, uye vose pamwe chete vachauya vachibva kunyika yokumusoro vachienda kunyika yandakapa madzibaba enyu kuti ive nhaka.
19 “Niĩ mwene ngiuga atĩrĩ, “‘Ingĩakenire atĩa ngĩmũtua ta ariũ akwa, na ndĩmũhe bũrũri mwega, igai rĩrĩa rĩega rĩkĩrĩte magai ma ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.’ Ndeciiragia mũrĩnjĩtaga ‘Baba’ na mwage kũũhutatĩra nĩguo mũtige kũnũmĩrĩra.

20 No rĩrĩ, o ta mũtumia ũtarĩ mwĩhokeku harĩ mũthuuriwe, ũguo noguo mũkoretwo mũtarĩ ehokeku harĩ niĩ, inyuĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Asi sezvinoita mukadzi asina kutendeka kumurume wake, saizvozvo makanga musina kutendeka kwandiri, imi imba yaIsraeri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
21 Kĩrĩro nĩkĩiguĩtwo kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtarĩ kĩndũ, kũgirĩka na gũthaithana kwa andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ nĩmogometie njĩra ciao, na makariganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wao.
Kuchema kunonzwika panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti, iko kuchema nokuteterera kwavanhu veIsraeri, nokuti vakaminamisa nzira dzavo uye vakakanganwa Jehovha Mwari wavo.
22 “Njookererai, inyuĩ andũ aya mũũhutatĩire; nĩngũmũhonia nĩguo mũtigacooke gũcooka na thuutha.” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩtũgũũka harĩwe, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe Jehova Ngai witũ.
“Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda; ndichakurapai pakudzokera kwenyu shure.” “Hongu, tichauya kwamuri, nokuti imi muri Jehovha Mwari wedu.
