12 1Baba vedu vakatuma Natani kuna Dhavhidhi. Akasvika akati, “Pane varume vaviri vaigara muguta rimwe, mumwe akanga akapfuma, mumwe ari murombo. 2Murume akapfuma akanga ane makwai nemombe zhinji kwazvo, 3asi murombo akanga ane gwayana duku rimwe chete resheche raakanga atenga. Akarirera, rikakura pamwe chete naye nevana vake.

Saka akatora gwayana resheche romurombo akarigadzirira murume akanga auya kwaari.”
5Dhavhidhi akatsamwira murume uyu kwazvo, akaudza Natani akati, “NaBaba vedu vapenyu, murume aita izvi anofanira kufa! 6Anofanira kuripa gwayana kakapetwa kana, nokuti akaita izvi uye akanga asina tsitsi.”
7Ipapo Natani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Ndiwe murume uyu! Zvanzi naBaba vedu, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndakakuzodza kuti uve mambo waIsraeri, ndikakununura paruoko rwaSauro.
8“Ndakakupa imba yatenzi wako nevakadzi vake muzvanza zvako, neimba yaIsraeri neyaJudha. Dai izvi zvakanga zviri zvishoma, ndingadai ndakakuwedzera zvimwe zvizhinji. 9Seiko wakazvidza shoko rangu, uchiita zvakaipa pamberi pangu? Wakabaya Uria muHiti nomunondo, ukatora mukadzi wake kuti ave wako, ukamuuraya nomunondo wavaAmoni. 10Saka zvino munondo hautongobvi paimba yako, nokuti wakandizvidza ukatora mukadzi waUria muHiti kuti ave wako.
11Zvanzi naBaba vedu: Ndichakuunzira njodzi kubva paimba yako iwe. Pamberi pako ndichatora vakadzi vako, ndivape mumwe murume ari pedyo newe, agovata navo masikati machena. 12Iwe wakaita izvi muchivande, asi ini ndichaita chinhu ichi pamberi pavaIsraeri vose, masikati machena.”
13Dhavhidhi akati kuna Natani, “Ndatadzira Baba vedu.” Natani akapindura akati, “Baba vedu vabvisawo chivi chako; haungafi.”
14Asi nokuti waratidza kuzvidza Baba vedu zvikuru nechiito ichi, mwanakomana aberekwa kwauri achafa. 15Ipapo Natani akaenda kumba. Baba vedu vakarova mwana akanga aberekerwa Dhavhidhi nomukadzi waUria, akarwara zvakanyanya. 16Dhavhidhi akakumbirisa kuna Baba vedu nokuda kwomukomana. Akatsanya, akapinda, akapedza usiku akavata pasi. 17Vakuru veimba yake vakamira parutivi rwake kuti vamusimudze pasi, asi akaramba uye akasada kudya navo. 18Pazuva rechinomwe mwana akafa. Varanda vaDhavhidhi vakatya kumuudza kuti mwana afa, nokuti vakati, “Mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu, takataura naye akasada kuteerera. Tingati sei mwana afa? Angazvikuvadza.”
19Asi Dhavhidhi akaona varanda vake vachizevezerana akaziva kuti mwana akanga afa. Saka akabvunza akati, “Mwana afa here?” Vakati, “Afa.”
20Dhavhidhi akasimuka pasi, akashamba, akazora mafuta, akachinja nguo dzake. Akapinda muimba yaBaba vedu akanamata, akabva aenda kumba, uye paakakumbira vakamuigira zvokudya, akadya. 21Varanda vake vakati, “Chii ichi chawaita? Mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu, wakatsanya ukachema; zvino zvaafa, wasimuka uchidya.”
22Akati, “Mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu, ndakatsanya ndikachema, ndichiti, ‘Ndiani angaziva? Baba vedu vangava nenyasha kwandiri vorega mwana ari mupenyu.’ 23Asi zvino afa. Ndichatsanyireiko? Ndingamudzosazve here? Ndichaenda kwaari, asi iye haangadzokizve kwandiri.”
24Ipapo Dhavhidhi akanyaradza mukadzi wake Bhatishebha. Akaenda kwaari akavata naye, akabereka mwanakomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Soromoni. Baba vedu vakamuda, 25uye vakatuma shoko kubudikidza naNatani muprofita, akamutumidza zita rokuti Jedhidhia, nokuda kwaBaba vedu. a a v25 Jedhidhia zvinoreva kuti “anodiwa naBaba vedu” — zita iri rinoratidza rudo urwo Baba vedu vakanga vachangoisa pamwana.
