2 1Saka bvisai ruvengo rwose, nokunyengera kwose, nounyengeri, negodo, nemakuhwa ose. 2Sevacheche vachangoberekwa, shuvai mukaka wakachena weshoko, kuti mukure muruponeso, 3zvino zvamakaravira kuti Ishe vakanaka. a a v3 Petro anotora mashoko episarema okuti “ravirai muone kuti Ishe vakanaka,” achiaisa kuna Jesu — iye uyo vaverengi vakauya kwaari vakamuwana ari akanaka. 4Sezvamunouya kwaari, ibwe benyu rakarambwa navanhu asi rakasarudzwa, rinokosha kuna Baba vedu. 5Nemiwo muri kuvakwa, samatombo mapenyu, muve imba yomweya nouprista hutsvene, muchipa zvibayiro zvomweya zvinogamuchirwa naBaba vedu kubudikidza naJesu Kristu.
6Rugwaro runoti: “Tarirai, ndinoisa muZioni ibwe rekona rakasarudzwa, rinokosha; ani naani anotenda maari haangatongonyadziswi.”
7Naizvozvo, kukudzwa uku ndokwenyu imi munotenda. Asi kune avo vasingatendi, ibwe rakarambwa navavaki rava ibwe rekona,
8uye ibwe rinogumbusa, dombo rinovapinganidza. Vanogumburwa nokuti havateereri shoko—izvo chaizvo zvavakatarirwa.
9Asi imi muri vanhu vakasarudzwa, uprista hwoumambo, rudzi rutsvene, vanhu vaBaba vedu, kuti muparidze kurumbidzwa kwaavo vakakudanai muchibva murima muchipinda muchiedza chavo chinoshamisa. 10Kare makanga musiri vanhu, zvino mava vanhu vaBaba vedu; kare makanga musina kuwana tsitsi, zvino mava kuwana tsitsi. b b v10 Petro anoshandisa Hosea: avo vakanga vari “vasiri vanhu” kare zvino vava kutorwa saavo vaBaba vedu — mutorwa auyiswa kumba anzwirwa tsitsi.
11Shamwari dzinodikanwa, ndinokukurudzirai—imi vatorwa navapoteri—kuti mudzivise kuchiva kwenyama kunorwa nomweya wenyu. 12Garai upenyu hwakanaka pakati pemarudzi, kuti kana vachikucherai savaiti vezvakaipa, vaone mabasa enyu akanaka vagokudza Baba vedu pazuva ravanotishanyira.
13Zviisei pasi pavatongi vose vavanhu nokuda kwaIshe—angava mambo, somukuru pamusoro pavose, 14kana kuvatongi, vakatumwa namambo kuti varange vaiti vezvakaipa uye varumbidze avo vanoita zvakanaka. 15Nokuti ndiko kuda kwaBaba vedu: kuti nokuita zvakanaka munyaradze kutaura kwousaziva kwavanhu mapenzi. 16Garai savanhu vakasununguka—musingashandisi kusununguka kwenyu kuvanza zvakaipa—asi savaranda vaBaba vedu. 17Kudzai munhu wose, idai mhuri yavatendi, ityai Baba vedu, kudzai mambo.
18Imi varanda, zviisei pasi pavatenzi venyu noruremekedzo rwose—kwete chete vakanaka navanyoro, asiwo vane utsinye. 19Nokuti chinhu chakanaka kana munhu achitsungirira kurwadziwa kwokutambudzika kusina kururama, achifunga Baba vedu. 20Kurumbidzwa kweiko kutsungirira kurohwa nokuda kwokuita zvakaipa? Asi kutsungirira kutambudzika nokuda kwokuita zvakanaka—uku ndiko kunofadza pamberi paBaba vedu.
21Makadanirwa izvi, sezvo Kristu akatambudzika nokuda kwenyuwo, achikusiyirai muenzaniso kuti mutevere mumakwara ake. 22“Haana kuita chivi, uye mumuromo make hamuna kuwanikwa kunyengera.” 23Pavakamutuka, haana kutsiva; paakatambudzika, haana kutyisidzira, asi akazvipira kuna iye anotonga nokururama. 24Iye pachake akatakura zvivi zvedu mumuviri wake pamuti, kuti tife kuchivi tirarame mukururama; namavanga ake makaporeswa. c c v24 'Muti' zvinoreva muchinjikwa — Petro anodzokorora mufananidzo weTestamente Yekare wokutakura kutukwa nokuturikwa padanda (Dheuteronomi 21:23). 25Nokuti makanga marasika samakwai, asi zvino madzokera kuMufudzi noMuchengeti wemweya yenyu.
