²“Nei muchidzokorora tsumo iyi pamusoro penyika yavaIsraeri, muchiti: ‘Vabereki vakadya mazambiringa anovava, meno avana ndiwo akagwambira’?

³“Noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba, hamuchazoshandisizve tsumo iyi muIsraeri. ⁴‘Mweya yose ndeyangu: womubereki newomwana zvakafanana. Munhu anotadza ndiye achafa. ⁵Chimbofungidzira kuti kune murume akarurama anoita zvakarurama nezvakanaka. ⁶Haadyi panzvimbo dzinonamatirwa dziri mumakomo, kana kutarira kuzvifananidzo zveimba yavaIsraeri. Haaiti upombwe nomudzimai womuvakidzani wake, kana kurara nomukadzi ari kumwedzi kwake. ⁷Haadzvinyiriri munhu, asi anodzosera rubatso rwaakatora pachikwereti. Haapambi, asi anopa chingwa chake kune vane nzara uye anofukidza vasina kupfeka nenguo. ⁸Haakweretesi nechimbadzo kana kutora mhindu, asi anonzvenga zvakaipa uye anotonga zvakarurama pakati pomunhu nomumwe.’ ⁹Anofamba muzvirevo zvangu uye anochengeta mirayiro yangu nokutendeka. Murume iyeye akarurama; zvirokwazvo achararama, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba.

¹⁰“Chimbofungidzira kuti ane mwanakomana ane chisimba, anoteura ropa kana kuita chimwe chezvinhu izvi. ¹¹(kunyange baba vake vasina kuita chimwe chezvinhu izvi): iye anodya panzvimbo dzinonamatirwa dziri mumakomo, anosvibisa mudzimai womuvakidzani wake, ¹²anodzvinyirira varombo navanoshayiwa, anopamba, haadzosi zvaakatora sorubatso, anotarira kuzvifananidzo, uye anoita zvinonyangadza. ¹³Anokweretesa nechimbadzo uye anotora mhindu. Ko munhu akadai achararama here? Haazorarami! Nokuti akaita zvinhu zvose izvi zvinonyangadza, zvirokwazvo achaurayiwa, uye ropa rake richava pamusoro wake.

¹⁴“Asi chimbofungidzira kuti mwanakomana uyu anobereka mwanakomana anoona zvivi zvose zvababa vake, uye achizviona, haaiti kana chimwe chazvo: ¹⁵Haadyi panzvimbo dzinonamatirwa dziri mumakomo, kana kutarira kuzvifananidzo zveimba yavaIsraeri. Haaiti upombwe nomudzimai womuvakidzani wake. ¹⁶Haadzvinyiriri munhu uye haatori rubatso pachikwereti. Haapambi, asi anopa chingwa chake kune vane nzara uye anofukidza vasina kupfeka nenguo. ¹⁷Anonzvenga zvakaipa uye haatori chimbadzo kana mhindu. Anochengeta mirayiro yangu uye anofamba muzvirevo zvangu. Haazofi nokuda kwechivi chababa vake; zvirokwazvo achararama.

¹⁸“Asi baba vake vachafa nokuda kwechivi chavo pachavo: vakamanikidza vamwe, vakapamba hama yavo, uye vakaita zvakaipa pakati porudzi rwavo.

¹⁹“Asi imi munobvunza, muchiti: ‘Nei mwanakomana asingatakuri mhosva yababa vake?’ Sezvo mwanakomana aita zvakarurama nezvakanaka uye akachengeta nokungwarira zvirevo zvangu zvose, zvirokwazvo achararama. ²⁰Munhu anotadza ndiye anofa. Mwanakomana haazotakuri mhosva yababa vake, uye baba havazotakuri mhosva yomwanakomana wavo. Kururama kwomunhu akarurama kuchava paari, uye uipi hwomunhu akaipa huchava paari.

²¹“Asi kana munhu akaipa akatendeuka kubva pazvivi zvake zvose, akachengeta zvirevo zvangu zvose, uye akaita zvakarurama nezvakanaka, zvirokwazvo achararama, haazofi. ²²Hapana kana chimwe chezvakaipa zvaakaita chichazorangarirwa pamusoro pake; nokuda kwezvakarurama zvaakaita, achararama.” ²³Ko ndingafarira rufu rwomunhu akaipa here, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba, pane kuti atendeuke kubva panzira dzake ararame? ^a a v23 Baba vedu havafari nokuparara kwomunhu upi zvake. Chishuwo chavo chikuru ndechokuti uyo akatsauka atendeuke, adzokere kumusha kuupenyu.

²⁴“Asi kana munhu akarurama akatsauka pakururama kwake, akatadza, akaita zvinhu zvinonyangadza sezvinoita vakaipa, achararama here? Hapana kana rimwe ramabasa ake akarurama richazorangarirwa. Nokuda kwokusatendeka kwake nezvivi zvake, achafa.

²⁵“Asi imi munoti: ‘Nzira yaBaba vedu haina kururama.’ Inzwai, imi imba yavaIsraeri: Ko nzira yangu haina kururama here? Handiti inzira dzenyu dzisina kururama here? ²⁶Kana munhu akarurama akatsauka pakururama kwake akaita zvakaipa, achafa nokuda kwazvo; nokuda kwezvakaipa zvaakaita, achafa. ²⁷Asi kana munhu akaipa akatendeuka kubva pazvakaipa zvaakaita, akaita zvakarurama nezvakanaka, achaponesa upenyu hwake. ²⁸Nokuti anofungisisa pamusoro pezvivi zvake zvose akatendeuka kubva kwazviri, zvirokwazvo achararama, haazofi. ²⁹Asi imba yavaIsraeri inoti: ‘Nzira yaBaba vedu haina kururama.’ Ko nzira dzangu hadzina kururama here, imi imba yavaIsraeri? Handiti inzira dzenyu dzisina kururama here?”

³⁰“Naizvozvo ndichakutongai, imi imba yavaIsraeri, mumwe nomumwe maererano nenzira dzake, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba. Tendeukai! Siyanai nezvivi zvenyu zvose, kuti chivi chirege kukuparadzai. ³¹Rasai zvivi zvenyu zvose zvamakaita; muzviitire mwoyo mutsva nomweya mutsva. Nei muchida kufa, imi imba yavaIsraeri? ³²Nokuti handifariri rufu rwomunhu upi zvake, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba. Naizvozvo tendeukai, murarame!”
