4Abhija akamira paGomo reZemaraimi munyika yezvikomo yeEfuremu akati, “Nditeererei, imi Jerobhoamu navaIsraeri vose! 5Hamuzivi here kuti Baba vedu, Mwari waIsraeri, vakapa Dhavhidhi navanakomana vake chigaro choumambo cheIsraeri nokusingaperi, nesungano yomunyu? a a v5 Sungano yomunyu yaiva chibvumirano chinoremekedzwa, chisingaperi; munyu waichengetedza zvokudya uye waimiririra kuzvipira kunogara nokusingagoni kuputswa. 6Asi Jerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati—muranda waSoromoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi—akasimuka akamukira tenzi wake. 7Varume vasina maturo vakaunganira paari, vachizvikudza pamusoro paRehobhoamu mwanakomana waSoromoni, achiri muduku uye asina ushingi, asingagoni kuvadzivisa.
8Zvino munofunga kuti munogona kudzivisa umambo hwaBaba vedu huri mumaoko avanakomana vaDhavhidhi, sezvo muri boka guru kwazvo nemhuru dzegoridhe dzamakaitirwa naJerobhoamu kuti dzive vamwari venyu. 9Hamuna here kudzinga vaprista vaBaba vedu, vanakomana vaAroni navaRevhi, mukazviitira vaprista venyu sedzimwe ndudzi? Ani naani anouya nenzombe duku namakondohwe manomwe anogona kuva muprista wezvinhu zvisiri vamwari.
10Asi Baba vedu ndivo vedu, uye hatina kuvasiya. Vaprista vanovashumira vanakomana vaAroni, uye vaRevhi vari pabasa ravo. 11Mangwanani namanheru oga oga vanopisira Baba vedu zvibayiro zvinopiswa nezvinonhuhwirira; vanoronga chingwa mumitsara patafura yegoridhe rakaisvonaka, vachichengeta chigadziko chemwenje chegoridhe, chinotungidzwa manheru oga oga. Tinochengeta murayiro waBaba vedu, asi imi makavasiya. 12Tarirai, Baba vedu vanesu vari pamberi pedu, uye vaprista vavo vane hwamanda dzokuridza kuti vakurwisei. Imi vaIsraeri, musarwa naBaba vedu, Mwari wamadzitateguru enyu, nokuti hamungakundi.”
13Zvino Jerobhoamu akanga atuma varindiri kuti vavapoteredze, vauye mumashure mavo; mauto ake akatarisana navaJudha, varindiri vari mumashure mavo. 14VaJudha vakatendeuka, vakaona kuti hondo yakanga yavatarisana mberi neshure, vakachema kuna Baba vedu; vaprista vakaridza hwamanda. 15Varume vaJudha vakadaidzira mhere yehondo, uye pavakadaidzira, Baba vedu vakarova Jerobhoamu navaIsraeri vose pamberi paAbhija navaJudha. 16Vanhu vaIsraeri vakatiza pamberi pavaJudha, uye Baba vedu vakavaisa mumaoko avaJudha. 17Abhija neuto rake vakavarova kurova kukuru; varume vakasarudzwa zviuru mazana mashanu vaIsraeri vakafa. 18Saka vaIsraeri vakaninipiswa panguva iyoyo, uye vaJudha vakakunda nokuti vakavimba naBaba vedu, Mwari wamadzitateguru avo. 19Abhija akatevera Jerobhoamu, akamutorera maguta—Bheteri nemisha yaro, Jeshana nemisha yaro, Efuroni nemisha yaro.
20Jerobhoamu haana kuzowanazve simba rake pamazuva oupenyu hwaAbhija, uye Baba vedu vakamurova, akafa. 21Asi Abhija akasimba. Akawana vakadzi gumi navana uye akava navanakomana makumi maviri navaviri navanasikana gumi navatanhatu. 22Mamwe mabasa aAbhija, nzira dzake namashoko ake, akanyorwa mutsanangudzo yomuporofita Idho.
