23 Mutsvakisisei pamusoro penzvimbo dzose dzokuvanda dzaanovanda mugodzoka kwandiri neshoko rakananga. Ipapo ndichaenda nemi; kana ari munharaunda, ndichamutsvakisisa pakati pedzimba dzaJudha.”
And see and know from all the hiding places where he hides himself there and you will return to me to a certain [thing] and I will go with you and it will be if there he [is] in the land and I will search out him among all [the] thousands of Judah.
24 Saka vakasimuka vakaenda kuZifi pamberi paSauro. Zvino Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakanga vari muRenje reMaoni, muArabha zasi kweJeshimoni.
