1 Zvino Sanibharati paakanzwa kuti takanga tava kuvakazve rusvingo, akatsamwa uye akava nehasha kwazvo. Akashora vaJudha
Rĩrĩa Sanibalati aaiguire atĩ nĩtwakaga rũthingo rĩngĩ, akĩrakara na agĩthirĩka mũno. Agĩthekerera Ayahudi,
2 pamberi pehama dzake nehondo yeSamaria, achiti, “Ko, vaJudha avo vasina simba vari kuiteiko? Ko, vachavakazve rusvingo rwavo here? Vachapa zvibayiro here? Vachapedza nezuva rimwe chete here? Ko, vangadzorera upenyu pamatombo ayo akaunganidzwa, akatsva sezvaakaita izvi here?”
na arĩ mbere ya athiritũ ake na mbũtũ cia ita cia Samaria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ayahudi aya ahinyaru-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ mareka? Nĩmegũcookereria rũthingo rwao? Nĩmekũruta magongona? Nĩmekũrĩkia wĩra ũyũ na mũthenya ũmwe? Maahota gũtũma mahiga macooke muoyo kuuma hĩba-inĩ ici cia mahuti maya mahĩĩte ũũ wothe?”
3 Tobhia muAmoni, aiva parutivi pake, akati, “Chavari kuvaka ichi, kana dai gava raikwira pamusoro pacho, raitokoromora rusvingo rwavo rwamatombo!”
Tobia ũrĩa Mũamoni, ũrĩa warĩ mwena wake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũthingo rũu rwa mahiga maraaka-rĩ, o na mbwe ĩngĩrũhaica no ĩrũmomore!”
4 Haiwa, Mwari wedu, tinzwei, nokuti tiri kuzvidzwa. Dzorerai kutuka kwavo pamusoro pavo. Ngavave sevakapambwa munyika yenhapwa.
No rĩrĩ, Wee Ngai witũ tũthikĩrĩrie, tondũ tũrĩ andũ anyarare. Garũra irumi icio ciao imacookerere. Maneane ta matahĩtwo bũrũri-inĩ wa ũkombo.
5 Musafukidza kuipa kwavo kana kudzima zvivi zvavo pamberi penyu, nokuti vakakusha mashoko okutuka pamberi pavavaki.
Ndũkahithĩrĩre mahĩtia mao kana weherie mehia mao kuuma ũthiũ-inĩ waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmarumĩte andũ arĩa maraaka.
6 Saka takavakazve rusvingo kudzamara rwose rwasvika pahafu yokukwirira kwarwo, nokuti vanhu vaishanda nemwoyo yavo yose.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩaka rũthingo rũu rĩngĩ o nginya ruothe rũgĩkinya nuthu ya ũraihu waruo, nĩgũkorwo andũ acio maarutire wĩra na ngoro cia kwĩyendera.
7 Asi Sanibharati, Tobhia, navaArabhu, navaAmoni navarume veAshidhodhi, vakati vanzwa kuti masvingo eJerusarema ari kugadzirwa, uye kuti makakoromoka maivakwa pakare, vakatsamwa kwazvo.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Sanibalati, na Tobia, na Aarabu, na Aamoni, na andũ a Ashidodi maiguire atĩ thingo cia Jerusalemu nĩciathiiaga na mbere gũcookererio na atĩ mĩanya nĩyathingagwo-rĩ, makĩrakara mũno.
8 Vakarangana vose pamwe chete kuti vazorwa neJerusarema uye kuti varimutsire mhirizhonga.
Magĩthiĩ ndundu marĩ othe, magĩciira ũrĩa megũka mahũũrane na Jerusalemu, na mambĩrĩrie ngũĩ kuo.
9 Asi takanyengetera kuna Mwari wedu tikaisawo varindi masikati nousiku kuti vapedze dambudziko rokutyisidzira uku.
No nĩtwahooire Ngai witũ na tũkĩiga arangĩri a gũtũgitĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ nĩ ũndũ nĩtwehĩtĩirwo.
10 Zvichakadaro, vanhu vokwaJudha vakati, “Simba ravabati riri kupera, uye pachine mangwandangwanda akawanda zvokuti hatingakwanisi kuvakazve rusvingo.”
O ihinda rĩu, andũ a Juda makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aruti a wĩra nĩmaroorwo nĩ hinya, na nĩ kũrĩ na mahuti maingĩ mũno matangĩreka twake rũthingo rũu rĩngĩ.”
11 Uyezve vavengi vedu vakati, “Vasati vazviziva kana kutiona, tichatenge tavapo pakati pavo uye tichavauraya tigoparadza basa ravo.”
O nacio thũ ciitũ ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũira wa mamenye ũhoro kana matuone, tũgũkorwo hamwe nao, tũmoorage na tũtũme wĩra ũcio ũtige kũrutwo.”
12 Ipapo vaJudha vakanga vagere pedyo navo vakauya vakatitaurira rune gumi vachiti, “Kupi nokupi kwamuchaenda, vachauya kuzotirwisa.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi arĩa maatũũraga hakuhĩ na thũ icio magĩũka, magĩtwĩra maita ikũmi atĩrĩ, “O kũrĩa mũngĩũrĩra-rĩ, nĩmegũtũtharĩkĩra.”
13 Naizvozvo ndakaisa vamwe vanhu seri kwenzvimbo dzakaderera dzorusvingo napanzvimbo dzakashama, ndichivaisa nemhuri dzavo, vane minondo yavo, namapfumo uye neuta.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩiga andũ amwe na thuutha wa kũrĩa rũthingo rwarĩ thĩ mũno na gũtaarĩ na ũgitĩri; ngĩmaiga kũringana na nyũmba ciao marĩ na hiũ ciao cia njora, na matimũ, na mota.
14 Mushure mokunge ndatarisisa zvinhu izvi, ndakasimuka ndikati kuvakuru, navabati nokuruzhinji rwavanhu, “Musavatya. Rangarirai Jehovha, iye mukuru, anotyisa, uye murwire hama dzenyu, vanakomana venyu, navanasikana venyu, vakadzi venyu nemisha yenyu.”
Ndaarĩkia kuona ũrĩa maũndũ maatariĩ, ngĩrũgama ngĩĩra andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene, na andũ arĩa angĩ atĩrĩ, “Mũtikametigĩre. Ririkanai Mwathani, o we ũrĩa mũnene na wa kũmakania, nĩguo mũrũĩrĩre ariũ a thoguo, na aanake anyu, na airĩtu anyu, na atumia anyu, o na mĩciĩ yanyu.”
15 Vavengi vedu pavakanzwa kuti takanga taziva rangano yavo uye kuti Mwari akanga aikonesa, tose takadzokera kurusvingo, mumwe nomumwe pabasa rake.
Rĩrĩa thũ ciitũ ciamenyire atĩ nĩtwamenyete ũhoro wa ndundu yao, na atĩ Ngai nĩarigĩrĩirie ũndũ ũcio, ithuothe tũgĩcooka rũthingo-inĩ, o mũndũ agĩthiĩ wĩra-inĩ wake.
16 Kubva pazuva iro, zvichienda mberi hafu yavanhu vangu vakashanda basa, asi imwe hafu vakanga vakapakata mapfumo, nhoo, uta nenhumbi dzokurwa nadzo. Vatariri vakamira mumashure mavanhu vose vokwaJudha,
Kuuma mũthenya ũcio nuthu ya andũ akwa nĩo maarutaga wĩra nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ yao makĩheo matimũ, na ngo, na mota, o na nguo cia kĩgera. Anene nao makĩrũgama thuutha wa andũ othe a Juda
17 vaivaka rusvingo. Avo vaitakura zvokuvakisa vakaita basa ravo noruoko rumwe uye rumwe ruoko vakabata chombo chokurwisa,
arĩa maakaga rũthingo. Nao arĩa maakuuaga indo cia mwako maarutaga wĩra na guoko kũmwe, nakuo kũrĩa kũngĩ kũnyiitĩte kĩndũ kĩa mbaara,
18 uye muvaki mumwe nomumwe akanga akapfeka munondo wake parutivi, uku achishanda. Asi munhu airidza hwamanda aiva neni.
nake mwaki o wothe aikaraga eyohete rũhiũ rwake rwa njora njohero o akĩrutaga wĩra. No mũhuhi wa karumbeta aanjikaraga hakuhĩ.
19 Ipapo ndakati kuvakuru, navatariri noruzhinji rwavanhu, “Basa iguru iri uye rapararira, uye isu tanyanya kuparadzana mumwe kubva kuno mumwe takatevedza rusvingo.
Ningĩ ngĩĩra arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene, na andũ arĩa angĩ atĩrĩ, “Wĩra nĩ mũingĩ mũno na ũgatambũrũka, na nĩtũraihanĩrĩirie mũno mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ rũthingo-inĩ.
20 Pose pamuchanzwa kurira kwehwamanda, muuye tibatane ikoko. Mwari wedu achatirwira.”
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũngĩigua karumbeta kaahuhwo, mũũke harĩa tũrĩ. Ngai witũ nĩwe ũgũtũrũĩrĩra!”
21 Saka takafambira mberi nebasa, hafu yavarume yakabata mapfumo, kubva mambakwedza kusvikira nyeredzi dzichibuda.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩthiĩ na mbere na kũruta wĩra, nuthu ya andũ ĩnyiitĩte matimũ kuuma rũciinĩ nginya njata cioneke hwaĩ-inĩ.
22 Panguva iyo ndakati kuvanhu, “Murume mumwe nomumwe nomubatsiri wake ngaagare mukati meJerusarema panguva dzousiku, kuitira kuti vatibatsire kushanda savarindi usiku uyezve savashandi masikati.”
Hĩndĩ o ĩyo ngĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Reke o mũndũ na mũteithia wake maikarage Jerusalemu thĩinĩ ũtukũ, nĩgeetha matũtungatagĩre ta arangĩri ũtukũ, na mũthenya makaruta wĩra.”
23 Zvino ini nehama dzangu kana vanhu vangu kana varindi vaiva neni hatina kubvisa nguo dzedu; mumwe nomumwe aiva nomunondo wake, kunyange paaienda kundonwa mvura.
Niĩ mwene, kana ariũ a baba, kana andũ akwa, kana arangĩri arĩa maarĩ hamwe na niĩ gũtirĩ warutaga nguo; o mũndũ aakoragwo na indo ciake cia mbaara o na agĩthiĩ gũtaha maaĩ.
