Mitsara yakaomesesa inokumbira Baba vedu kuti vape Efuremu chizvaro chinoparadza. Zvinoguma nevadzungairi pakati pendudzi, pasina chipikirwa chakabatanidzwa.
9 1Usafara, Israeri; usapembera semamwe marudzi. Nokuti hauna kutendeka, uchisiya Baba vako; wakada mubhadharo wechifeve paburiro rimwe nerimwe.
2Buriro nechisviniro chewaini hazvingagutsi ivo, uye waini itsva ichavapererwa. 3Havangagari munyika yaBaba vedu; Efuremu achadzokera kuIjipiti, uye muAsiria vachadya zvokudya zvisina kuchena. 4Havangadururiri Baba vedu zvipiriso zvewaini, uye zvibayiro zvavo hazvingavafadzi ivo. Chingwa chavo chichafanana nechingwa chevanochema; vose vanochidya vachasvibiswa. Nokuti chingwa chavo chichangogutsa nzara yavo; hachingapindi mumba maBaba vedu.
5Muchaiteiko pazuva romutambo wakatarwa, pazuva romutambo waBaba vedu? 6Nokuti tarirai—vari kutiza kuparadzwa, asi Ijipiti ichavaunganidza ivo uye Memufisi ichavaviga ivo. Rukato ruchakura pamusoro pepfuma yavo yesirivha; minzwa ichazadza matende avo.
7Mazuva okurangwa asvika; mazuva okuripa asvika—Israeri ngaazvizive! Muprofita ibenzi, munhu anofemerwa nomweya anopenga, nokuti chivi chako chikuru uye ruvengo rwako rukuru. 8Muprofita ndiye murindi waEfuremu, ari naBaba vangu; asi musungo weshiri uri munzira dzake dzose, uye ruvengo rwuri mumba maBaba vake. 9Vanyura zvakadzika mukuora, sapamazuva eGibhea. Vacharangarira kukanganisa kwavo; vacharanga zvivi zvavo. a a v9 Gibhea ndipo pakaitika kubatwa chibharo kunotyisa neboka revarume, kwakamutsa hondo yomukati pakati pamarudzi — awa rakasviba zvikuru muIsraeri (Vatongi 19–20).
10Samazambiringa murenje ndakawana Israeri; sechibereko chokutanga chomuonde pamwaka wawo wokutanga ndakaona madzitateguru enyu. Asi vakasvika kuBhaari-peori vakazvitsaurira kunyadzi, vakava vanonyangadza sechinhu chavaida. b b v10 PaBhaari-peori, Israeri akanamata mwari wechihedheni akawira muupombwe hwakakura — kumukira kwavo kukuru kwokutanga munyika yakapikirwa (Numeri 25). 11Mbiri yaEfuremu ichabhururuka seshiri—hapana kuzvara, hapana pamuviri, hapana kubata mimba. 12Kunyange vakarera vana vavo, ndichavatorera kusvikira pasina asara. Hongu, nhamo kwavari pandinofuratira kubva kwavari! 13Efuremu, sezvandakaona, akasimwa seTire pamafuro akanaka; asi Efuremu anofanira kubudisa vana vake achivaendesa kundobayiwa.
14Vapei, imi Baba vedu—muchavapei? Vapei chizvaro chinosvodza nemazamu akaoma.
15“Zvakaipa zvavo zvose zviri paGirigari; ipapo ndakavaramba nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavo; ndichavadzinga mumba mangu; handichazovaratidza rudo rwangu; vakuru vavo vose vapanduki. 16Efuremu arohwa pasi; mudzi wavo waoma; havangabereki zvibereko. Kunyange vakabereka, ndichatora vana vavo vanodikanwa ndovauraya.”
17Baba vangu vachavaramba nokuti havana kuvateerera; vachava vanhu vanodzungaira pakati pendudzi.
