13 ¹Munhu waBaba vedu akabva kuJudha akaenda kuBheteri neshoko raBaba vedu, Jerobhoamu amire paaritari kuti apise rusenzi.

²Neshoko raBaba vedu akadanidzira achipikisa aritari, achiti: “Aritari, aritari, Baba vedu vanoti: imba yaDhavhidhi ichabereka mwanakomana anonzi Josiya. Pamusoro pako achabayira vapristi venzvimbo dzakakwirira vanopisira rusenzi pamusoro pako, uye mapfupa avanhu achapiswa pamusoro pako.”

³Zuva iroro akapa chiratidzo, achiti: “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chakataurwa naBaba vedu: aritari ichatsemuka uye madota ayo achadururwa.”

⁴Mambo Jerobhoamu paakanzwa munhu waBaba vedu achidanidzira achipikisa aritari paBheteri, akatambanudza ruoko rwake achibva paaritari, achiti, “Mubatei!” Asi ruoko rwaakatambanudza achimupikisa rwakaoma, akakoniwa kurudzosera kwaari. ⁵Aritari yakatsemuka, madota ayo akadururwa—chiratidzo chakapiwa nomunhu waBaba vedu neshoko raBaba vedu. ⁶Mambo akati kumunhu waBaba vedu, “Kumbira nyasha kunaMwari wako; undinyengeterere, kuti ruoko rwangu rudzorerwe.” Akakumbira kuna Baba vedu, uye ruoko rwamambo rwakadzorerwa sepakutanga.

⁷Mambo akati kumunhu waBaba vedu, “Handei kumba, udye neni, uye ndichakupa chipo.”

⁸Munhu waBaba vedu akati kuna mambo, “Kunyange mukandipa hafu yeimba yenyu, handingaendi nemi, uye handingadyi chingwa, kana kunwa mvura pano.

⁹Izvi ndizvo zvandakarayirwa neshoko raBaba vedu: ‘usadye chingwa, usanwe mvura, usadzokere nenzira yawakauya nayo.’”

¹⁰Saka akaenda neimwe nzira, uye haana kudzokera nenzira yaakanga auya nayo kuBheteri.

¹¹KuBheteri kwaigara mumwe muprofita akwegura. Vanakomana vake vakauya vakamuudza zvose zvakanga zvaitwa nomunhu waBaba vedu zuva iroro muBheteri. Vakaudzawo baba vavo mashoko aakanga ataura kuna mambo.

¹²Baba vavo vakabvunza vachiti, “Akaenda nenzira ipi?” Vanakomana vake vakavaratidza nzira yakafambwa nomunhu waBaba vedu akanga abva kuJudha. ¹³Vakati kuvanakomana vavo, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro.” Vakavasungirira chigaro pambongoro, vakaitasva. ¹⁴Vakatevera munhu waBaba vedu, vakamuwana agere pasi pomuouki, vakabvunza vachiti, “Ndimi munhu waBaba vedu akabva kuJudha here?” Iye akati, “Ndini.”

¹⁵Ipapo vakati kwaari, “Handei kumba neni undodya chingwa.”

¹⁶Asi iye akati, “Handingadzoki nemi kana kupinda nemi, uye handingadyi chingwa kana kunwa mvura nemi pano. ¹⁷Nokuti Baba vedu vakandiudza neshoko ravo kuti: ‘Usadye chingwa, usanwe mvura ikoko, kana kudzokera nenzira yawakauya nayo.’”

¹⁸Iye akati, “Neniwo ndiri muprofita, sewe; mutumwa akandiudza neshoko raMwari, achiti, ‘Udzose kumba kwako kuti adye chingwa uye anwe mvura.’” Asi akanga achimunyepera.

¹⁹Saka munhu waBaba vedu akadzokera naye, akadya chingwa mumba make, akanwa mvura. ²⁰Vachakagere patafura, shoko raBaba vedu rakasvika kumuprofita akanga amudzosa.

²¹Vakadanidzira kumunhu waBaba vedu akabva kuJudha, vachiti: “Baba vedu vanoti: Nokuti wakaramba shoko ravo uye ukasateerera murayiro wawakapiwa naBaba vako, ²²asi wakadzoka, ukadya chingwa, ukanwa mvura panzvimbo yavakakuudza kuti, ‘Usadye chingwa, usanwe mvura’—chitunha chako hachisviki kuguva ramadzibaba ako.”

²³Shure kwokunge munhu waBaba vedu adya uye anwa, muprofita akwegura akamusungirira chigaro pambongoro, iye muprofita waakanga adzosa. ²⁴Paakanga achifamba nenzira yake, shumba yakamusangana munzira ikamuuraya. Mutumbi wake wakakandwa munzira, mbongoro imire parutivi payo, shumba iri parutivi pomutumbi. ²⁵Vanhu vaipfuura vakaona mutumbi wakakandwa pasi munzira neshumba imire parutivi pawo, vakauya vakazvishuma muguta maigara muprofita akwegura. ²⁶Paakazvinzwa, muprofita akanga amudzosa panzira akati, “Uyu ndiye munhu waBaba vedu akaramba shoko raBaba vedu; saka vakamupa kushumba, iyo yakamubvambura ikamuuraya, sezvavakanga vamuudza.” ²⁷Ipapo vakati kuvanakomana vavo, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro.” Vakaisungirira. ²⁸Vakaenda vakawana mutumbi wakakandwa munzira, mbongoro neshumba zvimire parutivi pawo; shumba yakanga isina kudya mutumbi kana kubvambura mbongoro. ²⁹Muprofita akasimudza mutumbi womunhu waBaba vedu, akaukwidza pambongoro, akaudzosa, akasvika kuguta kuti acheme uye amuvige. ³⁰Vakaradzika mutumbi muguva ravo pachavo, vakamuchema, vachiti, “Maiwe, hama yangu!”

³¹Shure kwokunge vamuviga, vakati kuvanakomana vavo, “Kana ini ndafa, mundivige muguva makavigwa munhu waBaba vedu; isai mapfupa angu parutivi pamapfupa ake. ³²Shoko raakadanidzira neshoko raBaba vedu achipikisa aritari yeBheteri uye dzimba dzose dzenzvimbo dzakakwirira dziri mumaguta eSamaria richaitika zvirokwazvo.”

³³Shure kwaizvozvi, Jerobhoamu haana kutendeuka panzira yake yakaipa; akagadzazve vapristi venzvimbo dzakakwirira kubva kuvanhu vose—ani naani aida, aimugadza, uye vaiva vapristi venzvimbo dzakakwirira. ³⁴Izvi zvakava chivi kuimba yaJerobhoamu, zvichiigurisa, zvichiiparadza pamusoro penyika.
