“‘Ndichazivisa zita rangu dzvene pakati pavanhu vangu vaIsraeri. Handichazobvumiri kuti zita rangu dzvene risvibiswe, uye ndudzi dzichaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndini mutsvene woga waIsraeri.

9 Lapho-ke labo abahlala emadolobheni ako-Israyeli bazaphuma basebenzise izikhali njengenkuni bazibase zitshe amahawu amancane lamakhulu, amadandili lemitshoko, izagila zempi kanye lemikhonto. Bazazisebenzisa ekubaseni umlilo iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
“‘Ipapo vaya vanogara mumaguta aIsraeri vachabuda kunze vagoshandisa zvombo sehuni vagozvipisa, senhoo duku nehuru, uta nemiseve, tsvimbo dzehondo namapfumo. Vachazvishandisa sehuni kwamakore manomwe.
10 Akuyikusweleka ukuba batheze inkuni egangeni loba bazigamule emahlathini, ngoba bazabasa izikhali. Njalo bazaphanga labo ababaphangayo bathathele lalabo ababathathelayo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

11 Ngalolosuku uGogi ngizamupha indawo yokungcwabela ko-Israyeli, esigodini salabo abahamba besiya empumalanga beqonde elwandle. Sizavimba indlela yezihambi, ngoba uGogi lamaxuku akhe wonke bazangcwatshwa khonapho. Ngakho sizabizwa ngokuthi yisiGodi sikaHamoni Gogi.
“‘Pazuva iro, ndichapa Gogi nzvimbo yamakuva muIsraeri, mumupata wavaya vanoshanya vachienda kumabvazuva vakananga kugungwa. Ichadzivirira nzira yavashanyi, nokuti Gogi navanhu vake vachavigwapo. Saka ichatumidzwa kunzi Mupata waHamoni Gogi.
12 Indlu ka-Israyeli izabangcwaba izinyanga eziyisikhombisa ukuze kuhlanjululwe ilizwe.
“‘Imba yaIsraeri ichapedza mwedzi minomwe ichivaviga kuitira kuti nyika inatswe.
13 Abantu bonke belizwe bazabangcwaba, njalo usuku engizadunyiswa ngalo luzakuba lusuku olukhunjulwayo kubo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Vanhu vose vomunyika vachavaviga, uye zuva rokukudzwa kwangu richava zuva ravacharangarira, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
14 Abantu bazakuba beqhatshwa ngezikhathi ukuba bahlambulule ilizwe. Abanye bazahamba ilizwe lonke njalo, phezu kwabo, abanye bazangcwaba labo abasala phezu komhlabathi. Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa bazaqalisa ukudinga kwabo.
“‘Vachapa vanhu basa rokuchenesa nyika nguva dzose. Vamwe vachapota nenyika yose uye, kubatanidza naivavo vamwe vachaviga vaya vakasiyiwa vachingova pachena. Mushure memwedzi vachazotanga kutsvaga.
15 Behamba phakathi kwelizwe omunye wabo angabona ithambo lomuntu, uzamisa isibonakaliso phansi kwalo abagebhi bamangcwaba baze balimbele esiGodini sikaHamoni Gogi.
Pavachange vachipota nenyika, kana mumwe akaona bvupa romunhu, achaisapo chiratidzo parutivi rwaro kusvikira vacheri vamarinda variviga muMupata waHamoni Gogi.
16 Idolobho elithiwa yiHamona lalo lizakuba khonapho. Ilizwe bazalihlambulula kanjalo.’
Uyezve, pachava neguta rinonzi Hamona ipapo. Nokudaro vachanatsa nyika.’
17 Ndodana yomuntu, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Memezela kuzozonke inhlobo zezinyoni lakuzo zonke izinyamazana zeganga uthi: ‘Buthanani livela ezindaweni zonke lize ndawonye emhlatshelweni engililungisela wona, umhlatshelo omkhulu phezu kwezintaba zako-Israyeli. Lapho lizakudla inyama linathe igazi.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Danidzira kumarudzi ose eshiri uye nemhuka dzose dzesango uti, ‘Unganai uye muve pamwe chete muchibva kwose kwose muuye kuchibayiro chandiri kukugadzirirai, chibayiro chikuru pamusoro pamakomo eIsraeri. Muchadya nyama uye muchanwa ropa ipapo.
18 Lizakudla inyama yamadoda alamandla linathe legazi lezikhulu zasemhlabeni kube angathi bebezinqama lamawundlu, imbuzi lenkunzi, konke kuyizifuyo ezinonisiweyo ezivela eBhashani.

19 Emhlatshelweni engililungisela wona, lizakudla amahwahwa lize lisuthisise njalo linathe legazi lize lidakwe.
Pachibayiro chandinokugadzirirai, muchadya mafuta kusvikira makorwa nawo, uye muchanwa ropa kusvikira madhakwa.
20 Etafuleni lami lizakudla lisuthe amabhiza labagadi, amadoda alamandla kanye lamabutho ezinhlobo zonke,’” kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Patafura yangu muchadya mukaguta mabhiza navatasvi vavo, varume vane simba navarwi vemhando dzose,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
21 “Ngizabonakalisa inkazimulo yami phakathi kwezizwe, njalo izizwe zonke zizasibona isijeziso engisilethayo lesandla engisibeka phezu kwabo.
“Ndicharatidza kubwinya kwangu pakati pendudzi, uye ndudzi dzose dzichaona kuranga kwandinoita noruoko rwandinoisa pamusoro pavo.
22 Kusukela ngalolosuku kusiya phambili indlu ka-Israyeli izakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.
Kubva pazuva iro zvichienda mberi, imba yaIsraeri ichaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo.
23 Lezizwe zizakwazi ukuthi abantu bako-Israyeli bathunjwa ngenxa yesono sabo, ngoba ngabanikela ezitheni zabo, njalo bonke babulawa ngenkemba.
Uye ndudzi dzichaziva kuti vanhu vaIsraeri vakaenda kuutapwa nokuda kwechivi chavo, nokuti vakanga vasina kutendeka kwandiri. Saka ndakavavanzira chiso changu ndikavaisa mumaoko avavengi vavo, uye vose vakaurayiwa nomunondo.
24 Ngabaphatha ngokufanele ukungcola kwabo kanye leziphambeko zabo, njalo ngabafihlela ubuso bami.
Ndakavaitira zvakafanira kusachena kwavo nokudarika kwavo, uye ndakavavanzira chiso changu.
25 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Khathesi sengizambuyisa uJakhobe evela ekuthunjweni njalo ngizatshisekela ibizo lami elingcwele.
“Naizvozvo, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Zvino ndichabvisa Jakobho kubva mukutapwa uye ndichanzwira tsitsi vanhu vose veIsraeri, uye ndichashingairira zita rangu dzvene.
26 Bazalikhohlwa ihlazo labo lakho konke ukungathembeki abakwenza kimi lapho babehlezi bevikelekile elizweni labo engekho owayengabenza besabe.
Vachakanganwa kunyadziswa kwavo nokusatendeka kwavo kwose kwavakaratidza kwandiri pavakagara zvakanaka munyika yavo pasina aivavhundusa.
27 Lapho sengibabuyisile bevela ezizweni njalo sengibaqoqile bevela emazweni ezitha zabo, ngizazibonakalisa ngingcwele ngabo phambi kwezizwe ezinengi.
Pandichavadzosa kubva kundudzi uye ndikavaunganidza vachibva kunyika dzavavengi vavo, ndicharatidza utsvene hwangu kubudikidza navo pamberi pendudzi zhinji.
28 Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, ngoba lanxa ngabasa ekuthunjweni phakathi kwezizwe, ngizabaqoqela elizweni labo, ngingatshiyi lamunye emuva.
Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo, nokuti kunyange ndakavadzingira kuutapwa pakati pendudzi, ndichavaunganidza munyika yavo, pasina wandinosiya.
29 Kangisayikubafihlela ubuso bami futhi, ngoba ngizathululela uMoya wami phezu kwendlu ka-Israyeli, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
Handingazovavanzirizve chiso changu, nokuti ndichadurura Mweya wangu pamusoro peimba yaIsraeri, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”
