Chitsauko 2.

Itii kuhama dzenyu, “Vanhu Vangu,” uye kuhanzvadzi dzenyu, “Vakanzwirwa Tsitsi.” Tetererai namai venyu, tetererai—nokuti havasi mukadzi wangu, uye ini handisi murume wavo—kuti vabvise ufeve hwavo pachiso chavo, nokusatendeka kwavo pakati pamazamu avo, kana zvikasadaro ndichavabvisa nguo ndigovasiya vakashama sezuva ravakaberekwa; ndichavaita segwenga, ndivashandure vave nyika yakaoma, uye ndivarege vafe nenyota. Vana vavo handingavanzwiri tsitsi, nokuti vana voufeve. Mai vavo vakaita ufeve; ivo vakavatakura vakaita zvinonyadzisa. Vakati, “Ndichatevera zvikomba zvangu, zvinondipa chingwa changu nemvura yangu, makushe angu neshinda dzangu, mafuta angu nezvinwiwa zvangu.”

Naizvozvo ndava kuda kudzivira nzira yavo neminzwa; ndichavakomberedza norusvingo kuti varege kuwana nzira dzavo. Vachatevera zvikomba zvavo asi havangazvibati; vachazvitsvaka asi havangazviwani. Ipapo vachati, “Ndichadzokera kumurume wangu wokutanga, nokuti zvakanga zviri nani kwandiri ipapo kupfuura zvino.” Havana kuziva kuti ndini ndakavapa zviyo, waini itsva, namafuta, ini ndakadira sirivha nendarama pavari—zvavakapedzera pana Bhaari. ^a

Naizvozvo ndichatora zviyo zvangu kana zvaibva, newaini yangu itsva panguva yayo; ndichatorazve makushe angu neshinda dzangu, zvakanga zvakapiwa kufukidza kushama kwavo. Zvino ndichafukura nyadzi dzavo pamberi pameso ezvikomba zvavo, uye hapana achavanunura muruoko rwangu. Ndichagumisa kupembera kwavo kwose—mitambo yavo, Kugara kwoMwedzi kwavo, maSabata avo, mitambo yavo yose yakatarwa. Ndichaparadza mizambiringa yavo nemionde yavo, yavakati nezvayo, “Uyu mubayiro wangu wandakapiwa nezvikomba zvangu.” Ndichaishandura ive dondo, uye mhuka dzesango dzichaidya. Ndichavapa mhosva pamazuva avakapisira zvipiriso kuvanaBhaari, pavakazvishongedza nemhete nezvishongo vakatevera zvikomba zvavo— asi ini vakandikanganwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu.

“Naizvozvo, tarira, ndava kuzovakwezva zvakare: ndichavatungamirira kugwenga ndigotaura zvinyoronyoro kumwoyo wavo. Ipapo ndichavadzorera minda yavo yemizambiringa, ndigoita kuti Mupata weAkori uve mukova wetariro. Ipapo vachadavira sapamazuva ouduku hwavo, sepazuva ravakabuda muIjipiti.” ^b

Nezuva iro, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu, uchandidaidza kuti “murume wangu,” uye haungazondidaidzi kuti “Bhaari wangu.” ^c Ndichabvisa mazita avanaBhaari mumuromo wavo; mazita avo haachazombotaurwazve. Nezuva iro ndichavaitira sungano nemhuka dzesango, neshiri dzedenga, nezvisikwa zvinokambaira pasi; ndichabvisa uta nomunondo nehondo munyika, kuti vose varare vakachengeteka. Ndichakuwana uve wangu nokusingaperi; ndichakuwana uve wangu mukururama nomukururamisira, murudo rwesungano nomutsitsi. Ndichakuwana uve wangu mukutendeka, uye uchaziva Baba vako.

Nezuva iro ndichadavira, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu—ndichadavira kumatenga, uye iwo achadavira kunyika; uye nyika ichadavira kuzviyo, kuwaini itsva, nokumafuta, uye izvo zvichadavira kuJezireeri. ^d Ndichavadyarira munyika. Ndichanzwira tsitsi “Asina Tsitsi,” uye ndichati kuna “Vasiri Vanhu Vangu,” “Muri vana vangu”; ivo vagoti, “Ndimi Baba vangu.” ^e
