1 “Imba, iwe mukadzi asina mwana, iwe usina kumbobereka mwana pururudza uimbe rwiyo, pembera nomufaro, iwe usina kumborwadziwa; nokuti vana vomukadzi akasiyiwa ari oga vazhinji kupfuura veane murume,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Hlabela wena mfazi oyinyumba, wena ongazange uzale umntwana; susa ingoma, umemeze ngentokozo, wena ongakaze uhelelwe ngoba abantwana bomfazi olahliweyo banengi kulabalowo olendoda,” kutsho uThixo.
2 Wedzera nzvimbo yetende rako, tambanudza micheka yetende rako ifare, usarega kuita izvozvo; rebesa tambo dzako, simbisa mbambo dzako.
Qhelisa indawo yethente lakho, yelula amakhetheni ethente lakho abe banzi, ungathikazi, yelula izintambo zakho, uqinise izikhonkwane zakho.
3 Nokuti uchapararira kurudyi nokuruboshwe; vana vako vachatorera dzimwe ndudzi uye vachagara mumatongo amaguta avo.
Ngoba uzaqhela usiya kwesokudla lesenxele; inzalo yakho izazixotsha izizwe yakhe emadolobheni azo adilikayo.
4 “Usatya hako: haunganyadziswi. Usatya kunyadziswa; haunganinipiswi. Uchakanganwa nyadzi dzapaudiki hwako, uye hauzorangaririzve kunyadzisa kwouchirikadzi hwako.
“Ungesabi, ngoba awuyikwehlelwa lihlazo. Ungesabi ukuyangeka, ngoba awuyikudumazeka. Uzalikhohlwa ihlazo lasebutsheni bakho, ungakhumbuli lesithuko sobufelokazi bakho.
5 Nokuti Muiti wako ndiye murume wako, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake, Mutsvene waIsraeri ndiye Mudzikinuri wako; anonzi Mwari wenyika yose.
Ngoba uMenzi wakho engumyeni wakho, uThixo uSomandla libizo lakhe oNgcwele ka-Israyeli unguMhlengi wakho; ubizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.
6 Jehovha achakudanazve sokunge wanga uri mukadzi akasiyiwa, uye anotambudzika pamweya, mukadzi akawanikwa achiri mudiki, pedzezvo ndokurambwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wako.
UThixo uzakubiza njengowesifazane olahliweyo, odabukileyo emoyeni, owesifazane owenda esesemncane, waphanga waliwa,” kutsho uNkulunkulu wakho.
7 “Kwechinguvana ndakakusiya, asi netsitsi huru ndikakudzosazve.
“Ngakutshiya okomzuzwana omncane, kodwa ngesihawu esikhulu ngizakubuyisa.
8 Ndichisundwa nehasha ndakavanza chiso changu kwauri kwechinguva, asi nounyoro husingaperi ndichava netsitsi, pamusoro pako,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mudzikinuri wako.
Ngomfutho wokuthukuthela, ngakufihlela ubuso bami okomzuzwana, kodwa ngothando olungapheliyo, ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe,” kutsho uThixo uMhlengi wakho.
9 “Kwandiri izvi zvakafanana namazuva aNoa, pandakapika kuti mvura zhinji yaNoa haizofukidzizve nyika. Naizvozvo zvino ndapika kuti ndirege kukutsamwira, kana kukutukazve.
“Kimi lokhu kunjengasezinsukwini zikaNowa, lapho engafunga khona ngathi amanzi kaNowa kawayikugcwala umhlaba futhi. Ngakho khathesi sengifungile ngathi angiyikukuthukuthelela futhi; angiyikukusola njalo.
10 Kunyange makomo akazungunuswa, uye zvikomo zvikabviswa, rudo rwangu rusingaperi harungazungunuswi, uye sungano yangu yorugare haingabviswi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha anokunzwira tsitsi.
Lanxa izintaba zinganyikinyiswa, lamaqaqa asuswe, kodwa uthando lwami olungapheliyo kuwe kaluyikunyikinyiswa, kumbe isivumelwano sami sokuthula sisuswe,” kutsho uThixo olesihawu kuwe.
11 “Haiwa, iwe guta rokutambudzika wakarohwa nedutu ukasanyaradzwa, ndichakuvaka namabwe ana mavara, nheyo dzako namabwe esafire.
Wena dolobho elihluphekileyo, elitshaywa yiziphepho alaze laduduzwa, ngizakwakha ngamatshe amahle, izisekelo zakho ngizakhe ngamasafire.
12 Ndichakuitira zviruvi zvamabwe matsvuku, masuo amabwe anovaima, uye masvingo ako ose amabwe anokosha.
Izakhiwo zakho zokuvikela ngizazenza ngamarubhi, amasango akho ngiwenze ngamatshe akhazimulayo, yonke imithangala yakho ngiyenze ngamatshe aligugu.
13 Vanakomana venyu vose vachadzidziswa naJehovha, uye rugare rwavana venyu ruchava rukuru.
Wonke amadodana akho azafundiswa nguThixo, njalo kuzakuba kukhulu ukuthula kwabantwana bakho.
14 Muchasimbiswa mukururama: Kumanikidzwa kuchava kure nemi: hapana chamuchazotya. Kutya kuchava kure nemi; hakuchazosviki pedyo nemi.
Uzaqiniswa ngokulunga: uchuku luzakuba khatshana lawe, awuyikwesaba lutho. Ukwesaba kuzasuselwa khatshana, akuyikusondela phansi kwakho.
15 Kana mumwe akakurwisa, handisini ndinenge ndazviita; ani naani anokurwisa achazvipira kwauri.
Nxa ekhona ozakuhlasela, kobe kungayisimi; loba ngubani okuhlaselayo uzazinikela kuwe.
16 “Tarira, ndini ndakasika mupfuri wesimbi anopfutidza mazimbe moto ugonganduma, uye anopfura munondo wakakodzera pabasa rawo. Uye ndini ndakasika muparadzi kuti aparadze;
“Khangela, yimi engadala umkhandi wensimbi ovuthela amalahle abe lilangabi, akhande isikhali esilungele umsebenzi waso. Njalo yimi engadala umchithi ukuba enze umonakalo;
17 hapana munondo ucharwisana newe ukakunda, uye uchakonesa rurimi rumwe norumwe runokupomera mhosva. Iyi ndiyo nhaka yavaranda vaJehovha, uye uku ndiko kururamisirwa kwavo kunobva kwandiri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
akulasikhali esikhandelwe wena esizaphumelela, njalo bonke abakumangalelayo uzabehlula. Leli yilifa lezinceku zikaThixo, lokhu yikho ukwenaniswa kwazo yimi,” kutsho uThixo.
