Hirikia Anowana Bhuku roMurayiro

Pavakanga vachibudisa mari yakanga yaunzwa muimba yaBaba vedu, Hirikia muprista akawana Bhuku roMurayiro waBaba vedu, wakanga wapiwa kubudikidza naMozisi. Hirikia akati kuna Shafani munyori, “Ndawana Bhuku roMurayiro muimba yaBaba vedu,” akaripa kuna Shafani.

Shafani akauya nebhuku kuna mambo, akamuudza achiti, “Varanda venyu vari kuita zvose zvavakaronzeswa. Vakadurura mari yakawanikwa muimba yaBaba vedu, vakaipa kuvatariri nokuvashandi.” Shafani munyori akaudza mambo achiti, “Hirikia muprista andipa bhuku,” akariverenga kuna mambo.

Mambo paakanzwa mashoko oMurayiro, akabvarura nguo dzake. Mambo akarayira Hirikia, naAhikamu mwanakomana waShafani, naAbhidhoni mwanakomana waMika, naShafani munyori, naAsaya muranda wamambo, achiti: “Endai, mundobvunza Baba vedu pamusoro pangu neavo vakasara muIsraeri nomuJudha, pamusoro pamashoko ebhuku rakawanikwa. Kutsamwa kwavo kwakakura kwakadururwa pamusoro pedu, nokuti madzitateguru edu haana kuchengeta shoko raBaba vedu, achiita zvose zvakanyorwa mubhuku iri.”

Saka Hirikia navarume vamambo vakaenda kuna Huridha, muprofitakadzi, mukadzi waSharumi mwanakomana waTokati, mwanakomana waHasira, muchengeti wenguo. Aigara muchikamu chechipiri cheJerusarema. Vakataura naye pamusoro peizvi.

Akati kwavari, “Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu, Mwari waIsraeri, achiti: Udzai murume akakutumai kwandiri kuti: Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu, achiti: Ndava kuda kuuyisa njodzi panzvimbo ino nokuvagari vayo—kutuka kwose kwakanyorwa mubhuku rakaverengerwa mambo weJudha. Nokuti vakandisiya, vakapisira zvipiriso kuna vamwe vamwari, vachinditsamwisa nezvose zvavakaita, hasha dzangu dzichadururwa panzvimbo ino, uye hadzingadzimwi. Asi udzai mambo weJudha, akakutumai kuti muzondibvunza, kuti: Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu, Mwari waIsraeri, pamusoro pamashoko amakanzwa, achiti: Nokuti mwoyo wako wakanga uri munyoro, ukazvininipisa pamberi paBaba vedu pawakanzwa mashoko avo pamusoro penzvimbo ino nokuvagari vayo, ukazvininipisa pamberi pangu, ukabvarura nguo dzako, ukachema pamberi pangu, ini ndomene ndakunzwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu. Ndichakuunganidza kumadzitateguru ako, uvigwe muguva rako norugare. Meso ako haangaoni njodzi ipi zvayo yandichauyisa panzvimbo ino navanhu vayo.” Saka vakadzosera mhinduro iyi kuna mambo.

Ipapo mambo akadana vakuru vose veJudha neJerusarema. Mambo akakwira kuimba yaBaba vedu navarume vose veJudha, nokuvagari vomuJerusarema, navaprista, navaRevhi, navanhu vose, vakuru navaduku.

Akaita kuti vose vaivapo muJerusarema nomuBhenjamini vapike kwairi, uye vanhu veJerusarema vakaita maererano nesungano yaBaba vedu, Mwari wamadzibaba avo. Josia akabvisa zvinhu zvose zvinonyangadza munyika yose yavanhu vaIsraeri, akaita kuti vose vaiva muIsraeri vashumire Baba vedu, Mwari wavo. Mazuva ose aakararama, havana kutsauka pakutevera Baba vedu.
