5 Sonile, senza okubi, senza ngenkohlakalo, senza umvukela, ngokuphambuka emilayweni yakho lezahlulelweni zakho.

7 Nkosi, kukhona ukulunga kuwe, kodwa kithi ukusanganiseka kobuso, njengalolusuku; ebantwini bakoJuda, lakubahlali beJerusalema, lakuIsrayeli wonke, abaseduze labakhatshana, kuwo wonke amazwe lapho obaxotshele khona, ngenxa yesiphambeko abaphambeka ngaso bemelene lawe.
“Ishe, imi makarurama, asi nhasi takafukidzwa nenyadzi, vanhu veJudha navanhu veJerusarema navaIsraeri vose, vari pedyo navose vari kure, munyika dzose kwamakatiparadzira nokuda kwokusatendeka kwedu kwamuri.

10 Futhi kasilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ukuthi sihambe emilayweni yakhe, ayibeka phambi kwethu ngesandla sezinceku zakhe abaprofethi.
Hatina kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wedu kana kuchengeta mirayiro yaakatipa kubudikidza navaranda vake vaprofita.
11 Yebo, uIsrayeli wonke weqile umlayo wakho, ngokuphambuka, ukuze bangalaleli ilizwi lakho; ngakho isiqalekiso sithululelwe phezu kwethu, lesifungo esibhalwe emlayweni kaMozisi inceku kaNkulunkulu, ngoba sonile kuye.
VaIsraeri vose vakadarika murayiro wenyu ndokutsauka, vachiramba kukuteererai imi. “Naizvozvo kutukwa nokutonga kwaakapika kwakanyorwa mumurayiro waMozisi, muranda waMwari, zvakadururirwa pamusoro pedu, nokuti takakutadzirai imi.
12 Futhi uwaqinisile amazwi akhe, awakhuluma emelene lathi, njalo emelene labehluleli bethu abasehlulelayo, ngokusehlisela ububi obukhulu, ngoba ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke kakuzanga kwenziwe okunjengokwenziwe eJerusalema.
Makazadzisa mashoko akataurwa pamusoro pedu napamusoro pamadzishe edu nokuuyisa pamusoro pedu njodzi huru. Hakuna kumbova nechinhu chakaitwa pasi pedenga rose chakafanana nezvakaitwa paJerusarema.
13 Njengoba kubhaliwe emlayweni kaMozisi, bonke lobububi busehlele. Kanti kasincenganga ubuso beNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, ukuze siphenduke eziphambekweni zethu, siqedisise iqiniso lakho.
Sezvazvakanyorwa muMurayiro waMozisi, njodzi iyi yose yakawira pamusoro pedu, kunyange zvakadaro hatina kutsvaka nyasha dzaJehovha Mwari wedu nokutendeuka kubva pazvivi zvedu tichiteerera chokwadi chenyu.
14 Ngakho iNkosi yalinda phezu kobubi, yabehlisela phezu kwethu; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ilungile emisebenzini yayo yonke eyenzayo, ngoba singalalelanga ilizwi layo.

15 Khathesi-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, owakhupha abantu bakho elizweni leGibhithe ngesandla esilamandla, wazenzela ibizo, njengalamuhla; sonile, senze okubi.
“Zvino, imi Ishe Mwari wedu, makabudisa vanhu venyu kubva muIjipiti noruoko rune simba uye mukazviitira zita rinogara kusvikira iye nhasi, takatadza, takaita zvakaipa.
16 Nkosi, njengakho konke ukulunga kwakho, ngiyakuncenga, kakuthi ulaka lwakho lentukuthelo yakho kuphendulwe emzini wakho iJerusalema, intaba yakho engcwele. Ngoba ngenxa yezono zethu, langeziphambeko zabobaba, iJerusalema labantu bakho sebelihlazo kubo bonke abasihanqileyo.
Haiwa Ishe, dzorai kutsamwa kwenyu nehasha dzenyu kubva paJerusarema, guta renyu nechikomo chenyu chitsvene, nokuda kwamabasa enyu ose akarurama. Zvivi zvedu nezvakaipa zvamadzibaba edu zvakaita kuti Jerusarema nevanhu zvive chinhu chinosekwa neavo vose vakatipoteredza.
17 Khathesi-ke, Nkulunkulu wethu, zwana umkhuleko wenceku yakho, lokuncenga kwayo, wenze ubuso bakho bukhanye endaweni yakho engcwele esilunxiwa, ngenxa yeNkosi.
“Zvino, imi Mwari wedu, inzwai minyengetero nemikumbiro yomuranda wenyu. Haiwa Ishe, nokuda kwenyu, mutarire nenyasha pamusoro petemberi yenyu yakaparara.
18 Nkulunkulu wami, beka indlebe yakho, uzwe; vula amehlo akho, ubone ukuchitheka kwethu, lomuzi obizwa ngebizo lakho; ngoba kasiwisi ukuncenga kwethu phambi kwakho ngenxa yokulunga kwethu, kodwa ngenxa yezihawu zakho ezinkulu.
Rerekai nzeve yenyu imi Mwari, uye munzwe; zarurai meso enyu muone kuparadza kweguta rakatumidzwa Zita renyu. Hatikumbiri kwamuri nokuda kwokuti takarurama, asi nokuda kwenyasha dzenyu huru.

20 Kwathi ngisakhuluma, ngikhuleka, ngivuma isono sami lesono sabantu bakithi uIsrayeli, ngiwisa ukuncenga kwami phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wami ngenxa yentaba engcwele kaNkulunkulu wami;
Pandakanga ndichitaura uye ndichinyengetera, ndichireurura chivi changu nechivi chavanhu vangu vaIsraeri ndichiisa chikumbiro changu kuna Jehovha Mwari wangu nokuda kwechikomo chake chitsvene,
21 yebo, ngisakhuluma ngomkhuleko, ngitsho lowomuntu uGabriyeli, engangimbone embonweni ekuqaleni, esenziwe waphapha masinyane, wangithinta ngesikhathi somnikelo wakusihlwa.
ndichiri pakunyengetera, Gabhurieri, murume wandakanga ndaona muchiratidzo changu chokutanga, akasvika pandiri achibhururuka kwazvo nenguva inenge yechibayiro chamadekwana.
22 Wangazisa, wakhuluma lami, wathi: Daniyeli, khathesi ngiphumele ukuzakupha inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa.
Akandirayira uye akati kwandiri, “Dhanieri, ndauya zvino kuzokupa njere nokunzwisisa.
23 Ekuqaliseni kokuncenga kwakho ilizwi laphuma, mina-ke ngize ukukutshela lona; ngoba uthandiwe kakhulu. Ngakho qedisisa loludaba, unakane ngalumbono.
Pawakangotanga kunyengetera, mhinduro yakabva yapiwa, ndiyo yandauya kuzokuudza, nokuti iwe unokudzwa kwazvo. Naizvozvo rangarira shoko iri uye unzwisise chiratidzo:
24 Amaviki angamatshumi ayisikhombisa amiswe phezu kwabantu bakho laphezu komuzi wakho ongcwele, ukuqeda isiphambeko, lokuphelelisa izono, lokwenzela isiphambeko inhlawulo yokuthula, lokungenisa ukulunga okulaphakade, lokuphawula umbono lesiprofetho, lokugcoba ingcwele yezingcwele.
“Vhiki makumi manomwe dzakatemerwa vanhu vako uye neguta rako dzvene kuti vapedze kudarika kwavo, varege kutadza, kana kuyanana nezvakaipa, vauye nokururama kusingaperi, kusimbisa chiratidzo nechiprofita nokuzodza iye mutsvene-tsvene.
25 Yazi-ke uqedisise: Kusukela ekuphumeni kwelizwi lokubuyisela lokwakha iJerusalema kuze kube kuMesiya iNkosana, kungamaviki ayisikhombisa, lamaviki angamatshumi ayisithupha lambili. Kuzabuya kwakhiwe izitalada lemifolo, kodwa ngokuhlupheka kwezikhathi.
“Uzive uye unzwisise izvi: Kubva pakupiwa kwechirevo chokuvandudza nokuvaka Jerusarema kusvikira Muzodziwa, iye mutongi, auya, kuchava nevhiki nomwe uye vhiki makumi matanhatu nembiri. Richavakwa rine migwagwa uye nomugero, asi munguva dzokutambudzika.
26 Langemva kwamaviki angamatshumi ayisithupha lambili uMesiya uzaqunywa, kodwa kungenzelwa yena; lesizwe sesiphathamandla esizakuza sizachitha umuzi lendawo engcwele; lokuphela kwawo kuzakuba ngozamcolo; njalo kuze kube sekupheleni kuzakuba khona impi, kumiswe izincithakalo.
Shure kwevhiki makumi matanhatu nembiri, Muzodziwa achagurwa uye achashaya chinhu. Vanhu vomutongi vachasvika vagoparadza guta nenzvimbo tsvene. Kuguma kuchauya sokudira kwemvura. Hondo icharamba iripo kusvikira kumagumo, uye kuparadzwa kwakatemwa kare.
27 Njalo uzaqinisa isivumelwano labanengi okweviki eyodwa; laphakathi kweviki uzakwenza kukhawule umhlatshelo lomnikelo; laphezu kophiko lwezinengiso kuzakuba lomchithi, ngitsho kuze kube sekupheleni, lokumisiweyo kuzathululelwa phezu konxiwa.
Achasimbisa sungano navazhinji kwevhiki imwe. Pakati pevhiki achagumisa chibayiro nechipiriso. Uye pano rumwe rutivi rwetemberi achaisa chinyangadzo chinokonzera kuparadzwa, kusvikira kuguma kwakatemwa kwadururirwa pamusoro pake.”
