³Hama dzamai vake dzakataurira zvose izvi kuvagari veShekemu, mwoyo yavo ikatendeukira kuna Abhimereki, nokuti vakati, “Ihama yedu.” ⁴Vakamupa masirivha makumi manomwe aibva mutemberi yaBhaari-bheriti, Abhimereki akaripa nawo varume vasina maturo, vasina hanya, vakamutevera. ⁵Ipapo kumba kwababa vake paOfura akauraya vakoma navanunʼuna vake, vanakomana makumi manomwe vaJerubhaari, padombo rimwe chete. Asi Jotamu, mwanakomana muduku kuna vose waJerubhaari, akapona nokuvanda. ⁶Vagari vose veShekemu neveBheti-miro vose vakaungana, vakaenda, vakagadza Abhimereki kuti ave mambo pedyo nomuouki weshongwe paShekemu.

Yakati kumuorivhi, ‘Titonge.’ ⁹Asi muorivhi wakapindura ukati, ‘Ko, ndingarega here mafuta angu, anokudzwa nawo Baba vedu navanhu, kuti ndiende kundozengaira pamusoro pemiti?’ ¹⁰Ipapo miti yakati kumuonde, ‘Uya iwe utitonge.’ ¹¹Asi muonde wakapindura ukati, ‘Ko, ndingarega here kutapira kwangu nemichero yangu yakanaka, kuti ndiende kundozengaira pamusoro pemiti?’ ¹²Ipapo miti yakati kumuzambiringa, ‘Uya iwe utitonge.’ ¹³Asi muzambiringa wakapindura ukati, ‘Ko, ndingarega here waini yangu itsva, inofadza Baba vedu navanhu, kuti ndiende kundozengaira pamusoro pemiti?’ ¹⁴Ipapo miti yose yakati kugwenzi reminzwa, ‘Uya iwe utitonge.’ ¹⁵Gwenzi reminzwa rikati kumiti, ‘Kana muchitoda zvechokwadi kundizodza kuti ndive mambo wenyu, uyai muvande mumumvuri wangu; asi kana zvisizvo, moto ngaubude mugwenzi reminzwa upise misidhari yeRebhanoni.’

¹⁶Zvino kana makaita nokutendeseka uye nokururama pakugadza Abhimereki mambo, uye kana makaitira zvakanaka Jerubhaari neimba yake, muchimuripira zvakafanira mabasa ake, ¹⁷baba vangu vakakurwirai, vakaisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi kuti vakununurei paruoko rwavaMidhiani, ¹⁸asi nhasi mamukira imba yababa vangu, mukauraya vanakomana vavo, varume makumi manomwe padombo rimwe chete, mukaita Abhimereki, mwanakomana womurandakadzi wavo, mambo pamusoro pavagari veShekemu nokuti ihama yenyu, ¹⁹kana makaita nokutendeseka uye nokururama kuna Jerubhaari neimba yake nhasi, farai muna Abhimereki, naiye ngaafarewo mamuri. ²⁰Asi kana zvisizvo, moto ngaubude muna Abhimereki upise vagari veShekemu neveBheti-miro, uye moto ubude kuvagari veShekemu nokuBheti-miro upise Abhimereki.”

²¹Jotamu akatiza akapukunyuka, akaenda kuBheeri, kwaakandogara, achitiza mukoma wake Abhimereki.

²²Abhimereki akati atonga vaIsraeri kwemakore matatu, ²³Baba vedu vakatuma mweya wakaipa pakati paAbhimereki navagari veShekemu, vakanyengera Abhimereki. ^a a v23 Baba vedu havana kudyara zvakaipa mumwoyo yavo; vakaisa Abhimereki navarume veShekemu mukunyengera kwavakanga vatosarudza, kuti ropa rehama dzakaurayiwa risvike pakururamisirwa kwaro. ²⁴kuti kumanikidzwa kwavanakomana makumi manomwe vaJerubhaari kuripwe, ropa ravo riiswe pamusoro pehama yavo Abhimereki, akavauraya, uye pamusoro pavagari veShekemu, vakasimbisa maoko ake kuti auraye vakoma navanunʼuna vake. ²⁵Vagari veShekemu vakamuvandira varume pamusoro pamakomo, vakapamba vose vaipfuura nenzira. Abhimereki akaudzwa izvozvo.

²⁶Gaari mwanakomana waEbhedhi akauya nehama dzake, akapinda muShekemu, vagari veShekemu vakavimba naye. ²⁷Vakaenda kuminda, vakatanha mazambiringa muminda yavo yemizambiringa, vakaatsika, vakaita mutambo mutemberi yamwari wavo, umo mavakadya, vakanwa, vakatuka Abhimereki.

²⁸Gaari mwanakomana waEbhedhi akati, “Abhimereki ndiani, uye Shekemu ndiani, zvokuti timushumire? Ko, haasi mwanakomana waJerubhaari here, uye Zebhuri haasi mubatsiri wake here? Shumirai varume vaHamori, baba vaShekemu! Tingashumirireiko Abhimereki? ²⁹Dai vanhu ava vaiva pasi pangu kuti ndivaraire! Ipapo ndaibvisa Abhimereki; ndaiti kwaari, ‘Daidza uto rako rose ribude!’”

³⁰Zebhuri mutongi weguta paakanzwa mashoko aGaari mwanakomana waEbhedhi, akatsamwa kwazvo. ³¹Akatuma nhume muchivande kuna Abhimereki achiti, “Gaari mwanakomana waEbhedhi nehama dzake vauya kuShekemu, vari kumutsa guta kuti rikumukire. ³²Zvino simuka usiku, iwe navanhu vaunavo, ugovandira mumunda. ³³Mangwanani kana zuva robuda, mukira kuzorwisa guta. Kana Gaari navanhu vake vachibuda kuzokurwisa, uite kwavari zvose zvaunowana ruoko rwako ruchikwanisa.”

³⁴Naizvozvo Abhimereki navanhu vake vose vakasimuka usiku, vakavandira Shekemu vari mumapoka mana. ³⁵Gaari mwanakomana waEbhedhi akabuda akamira pavanopinda napo pasuo reguta; Abhimereki navanhu vaaiva navo vakasimuka pavakanga vakavanda.

³⁶Gaari akaona vanhu, akati kuna Zebhuri, “Tarira, vanhu vari kuburuka vachibva pamusoro pamakomo!” Zebhuri akati, “Uri kuona mimvuri yamakomo uchiti varume.”

³⁷Gaari akataurazve achiti, “Tarira, vanhu vari kuburuka vachibva pakati penyika, uye rimwe boka riri kubva kurutivi rwomuouki wavavuki.”

³⁸Ipapo Zebhuri akati kwaari, “Ari kupiko manzwi ako makuru zvino—iwe wakati, ‘Abhimereki ndiani, zvokuti timushumire?’ Ko, ava havasi vanhu vawakazvidza here? Buda undorwa navo!”

³⁹Naizvozvo Gaari akabuda achitungamirira vagari veShekemu, akarwa naAbhimereki. ⁴⁰Asi Abhimereki akamudzingirira, Gaari akatiza pamberi pake, vazhinji vakawira pasi vakakuvara kusvikira pavanopinda napo pasuo. ⁴¹Abhimereki akagara muAruma, Zebhuri akadzinga Gaari nehama dzake kubva muShekemu, zvokuti vakasagona kugaramo. ⁴²Zuva rakatevera vanhu vakabuda vakaenda kuminda, Abhimereki akaudzwa izvozvo. ⁴³Akatora vanhu vake, akavapatsanura kuita mapoka matatu, akavandira muminda. Paakaona vanhu vachibuda muguta, akavamukira akavarova. ⁴⁴Abhimereki namapoka ake vakamhanyira mberi, vakandomira pavanopinda napo pasuo reguta, mamwe mapoka maviri akamhanyira vose vaiva muminda akavarova. ⁴⁵Abhimereki akarwa neguta zuva iroro rose, akarikunda, akauraya vanhu varo, akaputsa guta, akarikusha munyu. ^b b v45 Kukusha guta rakakundwa munyu chaiva chiito chekare chokutuka—chiratidzo chokuti ivhu rigare risingabereki uye nzvimbo iyoyo irege kuvakwazve.

⁴⁶Vakati vanzwa izvozvo, vatungamiriri vose veShongwe yeShekemu vakapinda munhare yetemberi yaEri-bheriti. ⁴⁷Abhimereki akaudzwa kuti vatungamiriri vose veShongwe yeShekemu vakanga vaungana ipapo, ⁴⁸naizvozvo akakwira Gomo reZarimoni, iye navanhu vake vose. Akatora demo muruoko rwake, akatema davi romuti, akarisimudza, akariisa papfudzi rake, akati kuvanhu vake, “Kurumidzai, muite zvamandiona ndichiita!” ⁴⁹Naizvozvo mumwe nomumwe akatema davi, vakatevera Abhimereki, vakaaturika panhare, vakaipisa pamusoro peavo vaiva mukati. Vanhu veShongwe yeShekemu vakafawo—varume navakadzi vanenge chiuru.

⁵⁰Ipapo Abhimereki akaenda kuTebhezi, akaridzika misasa, akarikunda. ⁵¹Mukati meguta makanga mune shongwe yakasimba, varume navakadzi vose—vatungamiriri vose veguta—vakatizira kwairi, vakazvipfigira mukati, vakakwira kudenga reshongwe. ⁵²Abhimereki akasvika pashongwe, akairwisa, akaswedera pedyo nomukova wayo kuti aipise. ⁵³Asi mumwe mukadzi akawisira guyo rokumusoro pamusoro waAbhimereki, akapwanya dehenya rake. ⁵⁴Akakurumidza kudana mutakuri wezvombo zvake, akati, “Vhomora munondo wako undiuraye, kuti varege kutaura nezvangu vachiti, ‘Akaurayiwa nomukadzi.’” Naizvozvo jaya racho rakamubaya, akafa.

⁵⁵Varume vaIsraeri pavakaona kuti Abhimereki afa, vakaenda kumisha yavo vose. ⁵⁶Nenzira iyi Baba vedu vakatsiva zvakaipa zvakaitwa naAbhimereki kuna baba vake pakuuraya vakoma navanunʼuna vake makumi manomwe. ⁵⁷Baba vedu vakadzosera zvakaipa zvose zvavarume veShekemu pamisoro yavo, uye kutuka kwaJotamu mwanakomana waJerubhaari kwakauya pamusoro pavo.
