20 ¹Mugore rechinomwe, mumwedzi wechishanu, pazuva regumi romwedzi, vamwe vakuru vaIsraeri vakauya kuzobvunza kuna Baba vedu, vakagara pamberi pangu.

²Ipapo shoko raBaba vedu rakasvika kwandiri, richiti:

³Iwe munhu, udza vakuru vaIsraeri, uti: Zvanzi naIshe Baba: Mauya kuzondibvunza here? Noupenyu hwangu, handingakutenderei kuti mundibvunze, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba.

⁴Uchavatonga here? Uchavatonga here, iwe munhu? Zvino uvazivise zvinhu zvinonyangadza zvakaitwa namadzitateguru avo, ⁵uvaudze uti: Zvanzi naIshe Baba: Pazuva randakasarudza Israeri, ndakasimudza ruoko rwangu ndichipika kuvazukuru veimba yaJakobho, ndichizvizivisa kwavari muIjipiti. Noruoko rwakasimudzwa ndakati kwavari, “Ndini Baba venyu.” ⁶Pazuva iroro ndakapika kuti ndichavabudisa muIjipiti ndichivaisa munyika yandakanga ndavatsvakira, inoyerera mukaka nouchi, yakanakisisa kupfuura nyika dzose.

⁷Ndakati kwavari, “Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaarase zvifananidzo zvinonyangadza zvamakatarisisa nameso enyu; musazvisvibisa nezvifananidzo zveIjipiti. Ndini Baba venyu.”

⁸Asi vakandimukira vakaramba kunzwa; hapana akarasa zvinhu zvinonyangadza zvakanga zvakanamatira kumeso avo, uye hapana akasiya zvifananidzo zveIjipiti. Saka ndakati ndichadururira hasha dzangu pamusoro pavo nokupedzera kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pavo imomo muIjipiti. ⁹Asi ndakaita izvi nokuda kwezita rangu, kuti rirege kusvibiswa pamberi pendudzi dzavaigara pakati padzo, dzandakanga ndazvizivisa kwadziri nokuvabudisa muIjipiti.

¹⁰Saka ndakavabudisa muIjipiti ndikavapinza murenje. ¹¹Ndakavapa mitemo yangu ndikavazivisa mirayiro yangu—ani naani anoiteerera achararama. ¹²Ndakavapawo masabata angu kuti ave chiratidzo pakati pedu, kuti vazive kuti ndini Baba vavo, vanovaita vatsvene.

¹³Asi imba yaIsraeri yakandimukira murenje. Vakaramba kufamba nemitemo yangu vakaramba mirayiro yangu—kunyange zvazvo ani naani anoichengeta achirarama nayo—uye vakasvibisa zvikuru masabata angu. Saka murenje ndakati ndichadururira hasha dzangu pamusoro pavo kuti ndivaparadze. ¹⁴Asi ndakaita nokuda kwezita rangu, kuti rirege kusvibiswa pamberi pendudzi dzakandiona ndichivabudisa. ¹⁵Murenje ndakasimudzawo ruoko rwangu, ndichipika kuti handingavapinzi munyika yandakavapa—inoyerera mukaka nouchi, yakanakisisa kupfuura nyika dzose, ¹⁶nokuti vakaramba mirayiro yangu, vakashaya hanya nemitemo yangu, uye vakasvibisa masabata angu, mwoyo yavo yakanamatira kuzvifananidzo zvavo. ¹⁷Kunyange zvakadaro ndakavanzwira tsitsi ndikasavaparadza murenje. ¹⁸Murenje ndakaudza vana vavo ndichiti: Musatevera mitemo yavabereki venyu kana kuchengeta mirayiro yavo kana kuzvisvibisa nezvifananidzo zvavo. ¹⁹“Ndini Baba venyu; teverai mitemo yangu mugochenjerera kuchengeta mirayiro yangu. ²⁰Itai masabata angu matsvene; achava chiratidzo pakati pedu, kuti muzive kuti ndini Baba venyu.”

²¹Asi vana vakandimukira. Havana kutevera mitemo yangu kana kuchengeta mirayiro yangu—munhu anoiteerera achararama—uye vakasvibisa masabata angu. Saka ndakati ndichadururira kutsamwa kwangu pamusoro pavo, ndichipedzera hasha dzangu pamusoro pavo murenje. ²²Asi ndakadzora ruoko rwangu ndikaita nokuda kwezita rangu, kuti rirege kusvibiswa pamberi pendudzi dzakandiona ndichivabudisa. ²³Noruoko rwakasimudzwa ndakapika kwavari murenje kuti ndichavaparadzira pakati pendudzi, nokuvaparadzira munyika dzose, ²⁴nokuti vakanga vasina kuteerera mirayiro yangu, vakaramba mitemo yangu, vakasvibisa masabata angu, uye meso avo akachiva zvifananidzo zvamadzibaba avo. ²⁵Saka ndakavapa mitemo yakanga isina kunaka nemirayiro yavakanga vasingagoni kurarama nayo; ^a a v25 Izvi hazvirevi kuti Baba vedu vakapa mirayiro yakaipa. Zvavakanga varamba mirayiro yavo yakanaka, vanhu vakakumikidzwa kutsika dzinoparadza dzavakazvisarudzira ivo—kunamata kwavo zvifananidzo kuchisiyiwa kuchienderera mberi nenzira yako inouraya. ²⁶Ndakavarega vachisvibiswa nezvipo zvavo—dangwe rimwe nerimwe richibayirwa—kuti ndivazadze nokutya, kuti vazive kuti ndini Baba vavo.

²⁷Saka, iwe munhu, udza vanhu vaIsraeri uti: Zvanzi naIshe Baba: Pane izviwo madzitateguru enyu akandimhura, nokusatendeka kwavo kwandiri: ²⁸Pandakavapinza munyika yandakapika noruoko rwakasimudzwa kuti ndichavapa, vakaona chikomo chimwe nechimwe chakakwirira nomuti mumwe nomumwe une mashizha, vakabayira zvibayiro zvavo ipapo, vakapa zvipo zvakanditsamwisa, vakakwidza zvinonhuhwirira zvavo zvinofadza, uye vakadurura zvipiriso zvavo zvinonwiwa. ²⁹Ipapo ndakavabvunza ndichiti: Nzvimbo yakakwirira iyi yamunoramba muchienda kwairi chii? (Inonzi Bhama kusvikira nhasi.). ^b b v29 Zita rokuti Bhama rinoreva “nzvimbo yakakwirira” yavahedheni. Mubvunzo unotamba nokunzwika kwaro — “inzvimbo yakakwirira ipi yamunoramba muchienda kwairi?” — uye zita rakaramba riripo.

³⁰Saka udza vanhu vaIsraeri uti: Zvanzi naIshe Baba: Muchazvisvibisa sezvakaita madzitateguru enyu here, nokuchiva zvifananidzo zvavo zvinonyangadza? ³¹Kana muchipa zvipo nokupfuudza vana venyu mumoto, munoramba muchizvisvibisa nezvifananidzo zvenyu zvose, kunyange izvozvi. Ko ndingabvunzwa nemi here, imi imba yaIsraeri? Noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba, handizombobvunzwi nemi.

³²Munoti, “Ngatifanane nendudzi, sendudzi dzedzimwe nyika, tichishumira matanda namatombo.” Asi zviri mupfungwa dzenyu hazvingatongoitiki.

³³Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba, ndichakutongai noruoko rune simba, noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, nehasha dzakadururwa. ³⁴“Ndichakubudisai pakati pendudzi, ndichikuunganidzai kubva kunyika kwamakanga makaparadzirwa, noruoko rune simba, noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, nehasha dzakadururwa. ³⁵Ndichakupinzai murenje rendudzi, ndigokutongerai ipapo takatarisana zviso nezviso.” ³⁶Sezvandakatonga madzitateguru enyu murenje reIjipiti, saizvozvo ndichakutongai, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba. ³⁷“Ndichakuverengai pamunopfuura napasi petsvimbo yangu, ndikupinzei muchisungo chesungano. ^c c v37 Vafudzi vaiverenga nokuongorora boka ravo nokuita kuti makwai apfuure rimwe nerimwe napasi petsvimbo yakasimudzwa. Baba vedu vanozvifananidza nomufudzi anoverenga vake. ³⁸Ndichabvisa pakati penyu vaya vanondimukira nokundipandukira. Ndichavabudisa munyika yavanogara, asi havangapindi munyika yaIsraeri. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Baba venyu.”

³⁹Uye imi, vanhu vaIsraeri, zvanzi naIshe Baba: Endai, mumwe nomumwe wenyu, mushumire zvifananidzo zvenyu! Asi pashure zvirokwazvo muchanditeerera uye hamuchazosvibisi zita rangu dzvene nezvipo zvenyu nezvifananidzo zvenyu. ⁴⁰Nokuti pagomo rangu dzvene, pagomo refu raIsraeri, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba, ipapo munyika vanhu vose vaIsraeri vachandishumira, uye ipapo ndichavagamuchira. Ipapo ndichada zvipiriso zvenyu, zvipo zvenyu zvakanakisisa, nezvibayiro zvenyu zvose zvitsvene. ⁴¹“Ndichakugamuchirai sezvinonhuhwirira zvinofadza pandinokubudisai pakati pendudzi ndichikuunganidzai kubva kunyika kwamakanga makaparadzirwa, uye kubudikidza nemi ndichazviratidza ndiri mutsvene pamberi pendudzi. ⁴²Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Baba venyu, pandinokupinzai munyika yaIsraeri, nyika yandakapika noruoko rwakasimudzwa kuti ndichaipa madzitateguru enyu. ⁴³Ipapo mucharangarira mafambiro enyu nezvose zvamakaita zvamakazvisvibisa nazvo, uye muchazvivenga nokuda kwezvakaipa zvose zvamakaita. ⁴⁴Muchaziva kuti ndini Baba venyu pandinokuitirai zvinhu nokuda kwezita rangu, kwete maererano nenzira dzenyu dzakaipa namabasa enyu akaora, imi vanhu vaIsraeri, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Baba.”
