7 Nyararai pamberi paIshe Jehovha, nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo. Jehovha agadzirira chibayiro; akavaita vatsvene, vaya vaakakoka.
Atĩrĩrĩ, kirai ki mũrĩ mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ. Jehova nĩahaarĩirie igongona; ningĩ nĩamũrĩte andũ arĩa etĩte.
8 Pazuva rechibayiro chaJehovha, ndicharova machinda navanakomana vamambo, navaya vose vakapfeka nguo dzavatorwa.
Mũthenya ũcio wa igongona rĩa Jehova-rĩ, nĩngaherithia anene, o na herithie ariũ a mũthamaki, hamwe na arĩa othe magaakorwo mehumbĩte nguo cia bũrũri ũngĩ.
9 Pazuva iro ndicharanga vose vanonyenyeredza kuti vasatsika paburiro, vanozadza temberi yavamwari vavo nechisimba nounyengeri.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngaherithia ataagarari othe a hingĩro, o acio maiyũragia hekarũ ya ngai ciao na haaro na maheeni.”
10 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kuchema kuchanzwikwa kubva kuSuo reHove, kuungudza kubva kuRutivi Rutsva rweguta, nokukoromoka kukuru kubva kuzvikomo.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio nĩgũkaiguuo mũkayo uumĩte Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Thamaki, o na kũgirĩka kuumĩte Itũũra Rĩerũ, naguo mũrurumo mũnene wa mũmomoko uume tũrĩma-inĩ.
11 Ungudzai imi munogara munharaunda yomusika, vashambadzi venyu vose vachaparadzwa, vose vanotengesa nesirivha vachaparadzwa.
Girĩkai, inyuĩ mũtũũraga rũgongo rwa ndũnyũ; mũgirĩke tondũ onjorithia anyu othe nĩmekũniinwo, na arĩa othe monjorithanagia na betha manangwo.
12 Panguva iyoyo ndichanzvera Jerusarema nomwenje; uye ndicharanga vaya vagere zvavo, vakaita sewaini yakasiyiwa mumasese ayo, vanofunga kuti, ‘Jehovha hapana zvaangaita, zvakanaka kana zvakaipa.’
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngoya matawa njethe andũ Jerusalemu, na herithie arĩa meiganĩtie, arĩa mahaana ndibei ĩtiganĩirio na kĩnyita kĩayo, arĩa meciiragia atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka, mwega kana mũũru.’
13 Upfumi hwavo huchapambwa, dzimba dzavo dzichaputswa, vachavaka dzimba, asi havangagari madziri; vachasima minda yemizambiringa, asi havanganwi waini yacho.
Ũtonga wao nĩũgatahwo, na nyũmba ciao imomorwo. Nĩmagaka nyũmba, no matigacitũũra; nĩmakahaanda mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ, no matikanyua ndibei yayo.
14 “Zuva guru raJehovha rava pedyo, pedyo, uye riri kuuya nokukurumidza. Teererai! Kuchema pazuva raJehovha kucharwadza, kuchema kwemhere ipapo.
“Mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ, ũrĩ hakuhĩ na nĩũrooka narua. Ta thikĩrĩriai! Kĩrĩro kĩa mũthenya ũcio wa Jehova gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩnene, nacio njamba cia ita nĩikaarĩra mũno irĩ kũu.
15 Zuva iro richava rokutsamwa, zuva rokudzungaira nokumanikidzwa, zuva rokutambudzika nokuparadzwa, zuva rerima nokusuwa, zuva ramakore nezarima.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ wa mangʼũrĩ, mũthenya wa mĩnyamaro na ruo rũnene, mũthenya wa mathĩĩna na mwanangĩko, mũthenya wa nduma na mairia, mũthenya wa matu na nduma ndumanu,
16 Zuva rehwamanda nemhere yehondo yokurwisa maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo, nokurwisa shongwe dzomumakona.

17 Ndichauyisa kudzungaira pavanhu uye vachafamba samapofu, nokuti vakatadzira Jehovha. Ropa ravo richadururwa seguruva, uye nyama yavo sendove.
Nĩngarehere andũ mĩnyamaro, nao magaathiiaga ta andũ atumumu, nĩ ũndũ nĩmehĩirie Jehova. Thakame yao nĩĩgaitwo ta rũkũngũ, nacio nyama cia nda ciao iteo ta irĩ rũrua.
18 Sirivha yavo kana goridhe ravo hazvingagoni kuvaponesa, pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha. Mumoto wegodo rake nyika yose ichaparadzwa, nokuti achauyisa magumo pakarepo kuna vose vanogara panyika.”
Betha kana thahabu ciao itikahota kũmahonokia, mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova. Thĩ yothe ĩkaaniinwo na mwaki wa ũiru wake, nĩgũkorwo arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ nĩakamaniina o rĩmwe.”
