Chitsauko 20.

Ipapo Zofari muNaamati akapindura achiti: “Ndokusaka pfungwa dzangu dzinonetseka dzichindimanikidza kupindura, nokuda kwokutambudzika kuri mukati mangu. Ndinonzwa kutsiurwa kunondizvidza, uye kubva pakunzwisisa kwangu mweya unondikurudzira kupindura. Zvirokwazvo unoziva kuti zvakange zvakadini kubvira kare, kubvira pakaiswa munhu panyika: kukunda kwavakaipa kupfupi, uye mufaro wavasingadi Mwari unongogara kwechinguva chiduku chete. Kunyange kuzvikudza kwake kuchisvika kumatenga uye musoro wake uchibata makore, achaparara nokusingaperi, setsvina yake pachake; vaya vakanga vamuona vachabvunza vachiti, ‘Aripi?’ Achabhururuka sehope, asingazombowanikwi, achadzingwa sechiratidzo chousiku. Ziso rakamuona haringazomuonizve; nzvimbo yake haichazomutarisazve. Vana vake vachapemha kuvarombo; maoko ake chaiwo anofanira kudzosa pfuma yake. Simba roujaya rizere mumapfupa ake richavata pasi naye muguruva. Kunyange zvakaipa zvichitapira mumuromo make uye achizviviga pasi porurimi rwake, kunyange asingadi kuzvirega zvichienda achizvichengeta mumuromo make, asi zvokudya zvake zvinoshanduka zvichivava mudumbu make; zvinova uturu hwemhungu mukati make. Anomedza pfuma asi anoirutsa; Mwari anoibudisa mudumbu make. Anoyamwa uturu hwemhungu; mazino enyoka ine uturu anomuuraya. Haazomboona hova, nzizi dzinoyerera uchi nomukaka wakakora. Anofanira kudzosa zvibereko zvokushanda kwake asingazvimedzi; haazofadzwi nepfuma yokutengeserana kwake. Nokuti akapwanya akasiya varombo; akatora nechisimba imba yaasina kuvaka. Nokuti dumbu rake harina kumbova norugare, haazopukunyuki nezvinhu zvaaipanga. Hapana chakasara chokuti aparadze; naizvozvo kubudirira kwake hakungagari. Mukuwanda kwepfuma yake, nhamo ichamubata; uremu hwose hwenhamo huchauya pamusoro pake. Paanenge azadza dumbu rake, Mwari achatuma kutsamwa kwake kunopfuta pamusoro pake uye achakunayisa paari sezvokudya zvake. Kunyange achitiza chombo chesimbi, museve wendarira uchamubvoora. Anoudzura, uchibuda mumuviri wake; muromo wacho unopenya unobuda munduru yake. Zvinotyisa zvinowira pamusoro pake. Rima guru rakavandira pfuma yake; moto usina kubatidzwa nomunhu uchamupedza uye uchaparadza zvose zvakasara mutende rake. Matenga achafumura mhosva yake, uye nyika ichamumukira. Pfuma yose yeimba yake ichatakurwa ichiendeswa, ichikukurwa pazuva rokutsamwa kwaMwari. Uyu ndiwo mugove womunhu akaipa unobva kuna Mwari, nhaka yakatarirwa kwaari naMwari.”
