Zekaria 10
1 Kumbirai kuna Jehovha mvura yomunakamwe; Jehovha ndiye anogadzira makore edutu. Anonayisa mvura kuvanhu, uye anopa zvirimwa zveminda kuno mumwe nomumwe.
Celani kuThixo izulu ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo; nguye uThixo owenza amayezi aleziphepho. Unika imikhizo yezulu ebantwini, lezihlahla zeganga ebantwini bonke.
2 Zvifananidzo zvinotaura zvounyengeri, vavuki vanoona zviratidzo zvenhema; vanotaura zviroto zvenhema, vanopa varaidzo pasina. Nokudaro vanhu vanodzungaira samakwai anomanikidzwa nokuda kwokushayiwa mufudzi.
Izithombe zikhuluma inkohliso, izangoma zibona imibono yamanga; zikhuluma amaphupho amanga; ziphe induduzo engesulutho. Kungakho abantu bephumputheka njengezimvu bahlupheke ngoba bengelamelusi.
3 “Kutsamwa kwangu kunomukira vafudzi, uye ndicharova vatungamiri, nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose achava nehanya namakwai ake, imba yaJudha, uye achavaita sebhiza rinodadisa pakurwa.
“Ulaka lwami luyavutha kubelusi, njalo ngizabajezisa abaholi; ngoba uThixo uSomandla uzawunakekela umhlambi wezimvu zakhe, indlu kaJuda, abenze babe njengebhiza elilesithunzi empini.
4 Muna Judha muchabva ibwe rapakona, kubva maari mbambo yetende, kubva maari uta hwehondo, kubva maari vatungamiri vose.
Ilitshe lekhoneni lizavela kuJuda, kuye kuzavela isikhonkwane sethente, kuye kuzavela idandili lokulwa impi, kuye kuzavela bonke ababusi.
5 Pamwe chete vachava savarume voumhare vanotsika migwagwa ina matope pakurwa. Nokuti Jehovha anavo, vacharwa vachakunda vatasvi vamabhiza.
Ndawonye bazakuba njengamaqhawe alamandla empini enyathelela izitha zawo odakeni lwemigwaqo. Bazakulwa ngoba uThixo ephakathi kwabo, babanqobe abagadi bamabhiza.
6 “Ndichasimbisa imba yaJudha uye ndichaponesa imba yaJosefa. Ndichavadzosa nokuti ndinovanzwira tsitsi. Vachava savanhu vandakanga ndisina kuramba, nokuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo uye ndichavapindura.
Ngizayiqinisa indlu kaJuda, ngisindise indlu kaJosefa. Ngizababuyisa ngoba ngilesihawu kubo. Bazakuba sengathi kangizange ngibakhalale, ngoba nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo njalo ngizabaphendula.
7 VaEfuremu vachava semhare, uye mwoyo yavo ichafara sevakabatwa newaini. Vana vavo vachazviona uye vachapembera; Mwoyo yavo ichafara muna Jehovha.
Abako-Efrayimi bazakuba njengamaqhawe, lezinhliziyo zabo zizajabula kungathi banathe iwayini. Abantwababo bazakubona lokho bathokoze; inhliziyo zabo zizathokoza kuThixo.
8 Ndichaninira kwavari ndigovaunganidza. Zvirokwazvo ndichavadzikinura, vachava vakawanda sakare.
Ngizabamema ngibabuthe ndawonye. Ngempela ngizabahlenga; bazakuba banengi njengakuqala.
9 Kunyange ndikavaparadzira pakati pamarudzi, kunyange zvakadaro vachandirangarira vari kunyika dziri kure. Ivo navana vavo vachararama, uye vachadzoka.
Lanxa ngibahlakazile phakathi kwezizwe, kodwa bazangikhumbula khonale emazweni akude. Bona kanye labantwababo bazaphila, njalo bazabuya.
10 Ndichavauyisa kubva kuIjipiti uye ndichavaunganidza kubva kuAsiria. Ndichavauyisa kuGireadhi nokuRebhanoni, uye hakungazovi nenzvimbo yavanokwana.
Ngizababuyisa basuke eGibhithe ngibaqoqe e-Asiriya. Ngizabaletha eGiliyadi leLebhanoni, kuze kungasabi lendawo ebaneleyo.
11 Vachapfuura napagungwa rokutambudzika; mafungu egungwa achaderedzwa uye pakadzika pose muna Nairi pachapwa. Kuzvikudza kweAsiria kuchaparadzwa uye tsvimbo youshe yeIjipiti ichabviswa.
Bazadabula phakathi kolwandle lokuhlupheka; ulwandle oluphuphumayo luzadediswa lezinziki zonke zeNayili zizakoma qha. Ukuzikhukhumeza kwe-Asiriya kuzakwehliswa lentonga yobukhosi yaseGibhithe izaphela.
12 Ndichavasimbisa muna Jehovha uye muzita rake vachafamba,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Ngizabaqinisa kuThixo, bona bazahamba ngebizo lakhe,” kutsho uThixo.
