19 ¹Mumazuva iwayo vaIsraeri vakanga vasina mambo. MumuRevhi aigara kunzvimbo yezvikomo iri kure yeEfuremu akatora murongo achibva kuBhetirehema muJudha. ²Murongo wake akamunyengera, akamusiya, akadzokera kumba kwababa vake kuBhetirehema, muJudha, akagarako mwedzi mina. ³Murume wake akasimuka akamutevera, kuti ataure naye nounyoro agomudzosa, aine muranda wake nembongoro mbiri. Akapinda naye mumba mababa vake, uye baba vomusikana vakafara kumuona. ⁴Tezvara vake, baba vomusikana, vakamugombedzera kuti agare, akagara navo mazuva matatu; vakadya, vakanwa, vakavatako.

⁵Pazuva rechina vakamuka mangwanani, iye akasimuka kuti aende. Asi baba vomusikana vakati kumukuwasha wavo, “Chidya chimedu chechingwa, wozoenda.” ⁶Vaviri vakagara pasi, vakadya, vakanwa pamwe chete. Baba vomusikana vakati kumurume uya, “Ndapota, gara usiku huno mwoyo wako ufare.” ⁷Murume akasimuka kuti aende, asi tezvara vake vakamukumbirisa, saka akavatazve ipapo usiku ihwohwo. ⁸Pazuva reshanu akamuka mangwanani kuti aende; baba vomusikana vakati, “Ndapota tanga wasimbisa muviri wako, umire kusvikira masikati.” Saka vaviri vakadya. ⁹Murume paakasimuka kuti aende, aina murongo wake nomuranda wake, tezvara vake, baba vomusikana, vakati, “Tarira, zuva rava kudoka; vata usiku huno. Ona, rava kupera; vata pano ufare. Mangwana uchamuka mangwanani, wofamba rwendo rwako, woenda kumba kwako.” ¹⁰Asi murume akaramba kuvata usiku; akasimuka, akaenda, akasvika pakatarisana neJebhusi (Jerusarema), aine mbongoro dzake mbiri dzakaiswa zvigaro nomurongo wake. ¹¹Pavakaswedera kuJebhusi, zuva rava kudoka, muranda akati kuna tenzi wake, “Uyai, ndapota, ngatitsaukire muguta iri ravaJebhusi tivatemo.”

¹²Tenzi wake akapindura akati, “Hatizotsaukiri muguta revatorwa, risiri ravaIsraeri; ticharamba tichienda kuGibhea.” ¹³Akati kumuranda wake, “Uya, ngatisvike kune imwe yenzvimbo idzi tivate kuGibhea kana kuRama.” ¹⁴Saka vakaenderera mberi norwendo rwavo, zuva rikavanyurira pedyo neGibhea iri muBhenjamini. ¹⁵Vakatsauka kuti vavate paGibhea. Akapinda akagara pachivara cheguta, asi hapana munhu akavapinza mumba make kuti vavate.

¹⁶Mumwe murume akwegura akabva kubasa rokumunda nguva yamadekwana. Akanga achibva kunyika yezvikomo yeEfuremu, achigara muGibhea ari mutorwa; varume vomunzvimbo iyi vaiva vaBhenjamini. ¹⁷Murume akwegura akatarisa kumusoro, akaona mufambi ari pachivara cheguta, akabvunza achiti, “Uri kuenda kupi? Wabva kupi?”

¹⁸Akati kwaari, “Tiri kufamba kubva kuBhetirehema muJudha tichienda kunyika yezvikomo iri kure yeEfuremu—ndiko kumusha kwangu. Ndakaenda kuBhetirehema muJudha, zvino ndava kuenda kumba kwaBaba vedu, asi hapana munhu anondipinza mumba make. ¹⁹Tine uswa hwakaoma nezvokudya zvembongoro dzedu, uyewo chingwa newaini zvangu, nezvomurandakadzi wenyu, nezvejaya riri navaranda venyu. Hatishayi chinhu.”

²⁰Murume akwegura akati, “Rugare ngaruve newe. Ndichakupa zvose zvaunoda; chete usavate pachivara.” ²¹Akapinda naye mumba make, akapa mbongoro zvokudya, vakashamba tsoka dzavo, vakadya, vakanwa.

²²Pavakanga vachifara, pakarepo varume vakaipa veguta vakakomba imba, vachigogodza pamukova. Vakadanidzira kumurume akwegura muridzi weimba, vachiti, “Budisa murume apinda mumba mako, kuti tivate naye!”

²³Muridzi weimba akabuda kwavari akati, “Kwete, hama dzangu, ndapota musaita zvakaipa sezvo murume uyu apinda mumba mangu; musaita chinhu ichi chinonyadzisa. ²⁴Hohu mwanasikana wangu mhandara nomurongo wake—regai ndivabudise. Vabatei chibharo, muvaitire zvose zvamunoda, asi murume uyu musamuitira chinhu ichi chinonyadzisa.”

²⁵Asi varume ava vakaramba kuteerera. Saka murume akabata murongo wake akamusundira panze kwavari; vakamubata chibharo vakamutambudza usiku hwose kusvikira mangwanani, vakabva vamurega achienda. ²⁶Panguva yokutsvuka kwamambakwedza, mukadzi akauya akawira pamukova weimba yomurume, paiva natenzi wake, kusvikira kwaedza. ²⁷Mangwanani tenzi wake akamuka, akazarura mikova yeimba, akabuda kuti aende rwendo rwake—onei murongo wake avete, awira pasuo reimba, maoko ake ari pachikumbaridzo. ²⁸Akati kwaari, “Simuka, tiende.” Asi hapana mhinduro. Saka akamukwidza pambongoro akaenda kumba kwake.

²⁹Paakasvika kumba, akatora banga, akabata murongo wake, akamugura nhengo nenhengo kuita zvidimbu gumi nezviviri, akazvitumira munyika yose yavaIsraeri. ³⁰Vose vakazviona vakati, “Hakuna chinhu chakadai chakamboitika kana kuonekwa kubva pakabuda vaIsraeri muIjipiti kusvikira nhasi. Fungisisai nezvazvo, taurai pamusoro pazvo, muzvireve.”
