Shure kwokunge Sauro adzoka achibva kudzinganisa vaFiristia, akaudzwa kuti, “Dhavhidhi ari murenje reEni Gedhi.” Sauro akatora varume 3,000 vakasarudzwa kubva muvaIsraeri vose kuti vatsvage Dhavhidhi navanhu vake pamberi peMatombo eMbudzi dzeSango. Akasvika pamatanga amakwai aiva pedyo nomugwagwa, paiva nebako. Sauro akapinda kuti azvibatsire; Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakanga vagere mukatikati mebako. Varume vaDhavhidhi vakati, “Iri ndiro zuva Baba vedu ravaireva pavakakuudza kuti, ‘Ndichaisa muvengi wako muruoko rwako kuti umuitire sezvaunoda.’” Dhavhidhi akasimuka akacheka mupendero wenguo yaSauro chinyararire. Shure kwaizvozvo hana yaDhavhidhi yakamurova nokuti akanga acheka mupendero wenguo yaSauro. Akati kuvanhu vake, “Baba vedu ngavarambidze kuti ndiite chinhu ichi kuna ishe wangu, muzodziwa wavo—kusimudzira ruoko rwangu paari, nokuti ndiye muzodziwa waBaba vedu.” Namashoko aya Dhavhidhi akadzivisa vanhu vake kuti varege kurwisa Sauro. Ipapo Sauro akabuda mubako akaenda hake. Dhavhidhi akasimuka, akabuda mubako, akadanidzira kuna Sauro achiti, “Ishe wangu, mambo!” Sauro akacheuka, Dhavhidhi akakotamisa chiso chake pasi.

Dhavhidhi akati kuna Sauro, “Munoteerereiko varume vanoti, ‘Tarirai, Dhavhidhi ari kutsvaka kukukuvadzai’? Nhasi meso enyu aona kuti Baba vedu vakakuisai sei muruoko rwangu mubako. Vamwe vakandikurudzira kuti ndikuurayei, asi ndakakurega ndikati, ‘Handingasimudziri ruoko rwangu kuna ishe wangu—muzodziwa waBaba vedu.’ Onai, baba vangu—mupendero wenguo yenyu uri muruoko rwangu! Ndakaucheka asi handina kukuurayai. Zivai uye muone kuti hapana chakaipa kana kumukira muruoko rwangu. Handina kukutadzirai, asi muri kuvhima upenyu hwangu kuti muhutore. Baba vedu ngavatonge pakati penyu neni, uye Baba vedu ngavanditsive kwamuri—asi ruoko rwangu harungakubatei. Sezvinoreva tsumo yekare inoti, ‘Kune vakaipa kunobva zvakaipa.’ Ruoko rwangu harungavi pamuri. Mambo wevaIsraeri abuda achirwisana naaniko? Muri kudzingana naaniko? Imbwa yakafa here? Rutata rumwe chete here? Baba vedu ngavave mutongi pakati penyu neni, vazvione, vareverere mhaka yangu, uye vandinunure muruoko rwenyu.”

Dhavhidhi akati apedza kutaura izvi kuna Sauro, Sauro akati, “Inzwi rako here iroro, mwanakomana wangu Dhavhidhi?” akachema achishevedzera. Akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Wakarurama kundipfuura ini; wakandiitira zvakanaka, ini ndakakuitira zvakaipa. Nhasi waratidza zvakanaka zvawakandiitira: Baba vedu vakandiisa muruoko rwako, asi hauna kundiuraya. Kana munhu akawana muvengi wake, angamurega achienda asina kukuvadzwa here? Baba vedu ngavakuripire zvakanaka nokuda kwezvawandiitira nhasi. Zvino ndinoziva kuti zvirokwazvo uchava mambo, uye umambo hwavaIsraeri huchasimba muruoko rwako. Saka ndipikire naBaba vedu: kuti haungaparadzi zvizvarwa zvangu zvinonditevera kana kudzima zita rangu paimba yababa vangu.”

Dhavhidhi akapikira Sauro. Sauro akaenda kumba; Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakakwira kunhare.
