35 1Shoko rakasvika kuna Jeremiya richibva kuna Baba vedu pamazuva aJehoyakimi mwanakomana waJosiya, mambo weJudha, richiti:
2“Enda kuimba yavaRekabhi, utaure navo, uvapinze muimwe imba yepadivi yeimba yangu, uvape waini kuti vanwe.”
3Saka ndakatora Jaazania mwanakomana waJeremiya, mwanakomana waHabhazinia, nehama dzake navanakomana vake vose neimba yose yavaRekabhi, 4ndikavauyisa kuimba yaBaba vedu, muimba yavanakomana vaHanani mwanakomana waIgidharia, munhu waBaba vedu, pedyo neimba yamachinda, pamusoro peimba yaMaaseya mwanakomana waSharumi, murindi wesuo. 5Ipapo ndakaisa ndiro dzizere newaini nemikombe pamberi pavanakomana veimba yavaRekabhi ndikati, “Inwai waini.”
6Asi ivo vakati, “Hatinganwi waini, nokuti baba vedu Jonadhabhi mwanakomana waRekabhi vakatirayira vachiti: Imi navana venyu hamungambonwi waini narini. 7Musavaka imba, kana kudyara mbeu, kana kusima munda wemizambiringa; musava nazvo. Garai mumatende mazuva enyu ose, kuti mugare mazuva mazhinji panyika yamunogara.’ 8Saka takateerera Jonadhabhi mwanakomana waRekabhi, baba vedu, pazvose zvavakatirayira: kusanwa waini mazuva edu ose—isu, vakadzi vedu, vanakomana vedu, navanasikana vedu, 9uye kusavaka dzimba dzokugaramo. Hatina munda wemizambiringa kana munda kana mbeu, 10asi takagara mumatende, tichiteerera nokuita zvose zvatakarayirwa nababa vedu Jonadhabhi. 11Asi Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi paakapinda munyika, takati, ‘Uyai, ngatiendei kuJerusarema kuti titize mauto evaBhabhironi nevaAramu.’ Saka tinogara muJerusarema.”
12Ipapo shoko raBaba vedu rakasvika kuna Jeremiya, richiti:
13Zvanzi naBaba vemauto okudenga, Baba vaIsraeri: Udza vanhu veJudha navagari vomuJerusarema: Hamungagamuchiri kurayirwa nokuteerera mashoko angu here? ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu. 14Murayiro waJonadhabhi mwanakomana waRekabhi wokuti vana vake varege kunwa waini wakachengetwa; kusvikira nhasi havanwi, nokuti vakateerera murayiro wababa vavo. Asi ini ndakaramba ndichitaura kwamuri, imi hamuna kunditeerera.
15Ndakaramba ndichituma kwamuri varanda vangu vose vaprofita, ndichiti, ‘Mumwe nomumwe wenyu, tendeukai mubve panzira yenyu yakaipa mugadzirise zvamunoita. Musatevera vamwe vamwari kuti muvashumire, uye muchagara munyika yandakakupai imi namadzitateguru enyu.’ Asi hamuna kuteerera kana kundirerekera nzeve. 16Zvizvarwa zvaJonadhabhi mwanakomana waRekabhi zvakachengeta murayiro wababa vavo, asi vanhu ava havana kunditeerera.
17Naizvozvo zvanzi naBaba vemauto okudenga, Baba vaIsraeri: “Ndichauyisa pamusoro peJudha navanhu vose vomuJerusarema njodzi dzose dzandakavataurira, nokuti ndakataura kwavari asi havana kuteerera, ndakavadana asi havana kupindura.”
18Jeremiya akati kuimba yavaRekabhi, “Zvanzi naBaba vemauto okudenga, Baba vaIsraeri: Nokuti makateerera murayiro wababa venyu Jonadhabhi, mukachengeta mirayiro yavo yose, mukaita zvose zvavakakurayirai, 19naizvozvo zvanzi naBaba vemauto okudenga, Baba vaIsraeri: Jonadhabhi mwanakomana waRekabhi acharamba aine chizvarwa chinomira pamberi pangu nguva dzose.”
