Chitsauko 18.

Ndinokudai, Baba vangu, simba rangu. Baba vangu ndivo dombo rangu nenhare yangu nomununuri wangu; Baba vangu, dombo rangu, vandinovanda kwavari, nhoo yangu, nesimba rangu roruponeso, nhare yangu yakasimba. Ndinodana kuna Baba vangu, vanofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kuvavengi vangu.

Mabote orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza. Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakandivinga. Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Baba vangu; kuna Baba vangu ndakachema ndichikumbira rubatsiro. Vari mutemberi yavo vakanzwa inzwi rangu, uye kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzavo.

Ipapo nyika yakazununguka ikadedera; nheyo dzamakomo dzakabvunda dzikazunguzika, nokuti vakanga vatsamwa. Utsi hwakakwira huchibva mumhino dzavo, nomoto unoparadza uchibva mumuromo wavo; mazimbe omoto akapfuta achibva kwavari. Vakakotamisa matenga vakaburuka; rima guru rakanga riri pasi petsoka dzavo. Vakatasva kerubhi vakabhururuka; vakabhururuka pamapapiro emhepo. Vakaita rima kuti rive chifukidzo chavo, tende ravo rakavapoteredza—mvura ine rima namakore matema okudenga. Kubva pakupenya kwaiva pamberi pavo makore avo akapwanya achipinda, nechimvuramabwe namazimbe omoto. Baba vangu vakatinhirawo kudenga, uye Wokumusorosoro vakasimudza inzwi ravo, nechimvuramabwe namazimbe omoto. Vakapfura miseve yavo vakavaparadzira; vakakanda mheni vakavakunda. Ipapo mihoronga yegungwa yakaonekwa, uye nheyo dzenyika dzakafukunurwa pakutuka kwenyu, Baba vangu, pakufema kwomweya wemhino dzenyu.

Vakatambanudza ruoko vari kumusoro vakandibata; vakandibvisa mumvura zhinji ine simba. Vakandinunura kumuvengi wangu ane simba, kuna avo vaindivenga, nokuti vakanga vakandikurira nesimba. Vakandivinga pazuva renjodzi yangu, asi Baba vangu vakanga vari mutsigiri wangu. Vakandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafara; vakandinunura, nokuti vaifadzwa neni.

Baba vangu vakandiitira zvakaenderana nokururama kwangu; zvakaenderana nokuchena kwamaoko angu vakandipa mubayiro. Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaBaba vangu, uye handina kutsauka kuna Baba vangu nokuita zvakaipa. Nokuti mitemo yavo yose yakanga iri pamberi pangu, uye handina kurasa mirayiro yavo. Ndakanga ndisina mhosva pamberi pavo, uye ndakazvidzora pakuita zvakaipa. Saka Baba vangu vakandipa mubayiro zvakaenderana nokururama kwangu, zvakaenderana nokuchena kwamaoko angu pamberi pavo.

Kune vakatendeka munozviratidza makatendeka; kune vasina mhosva munozviratidza musina mhosva; Kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vakakombama munozviratidza makangwara. Nokuti munoponesa vanhu vanozvininipisa, asi meso anozvikudza munoaderedza. Nokuti ndimi munobatidza mwenje wangu; Baba vangu vanovhenekera rima rangu. Nokuti nemi ndinogona kurwisa boka ravarwi, uye naBaba vangu ndinogona kudarika rusvingo.

Kana vari Baba vangu—nzira yavo yakakwana; shoko raBaba vangu rinova rechokwadi; ivo inhoo kuna vose vanovanda kwavari. Nokuti ndiani Baba vedu kunze kwaBaba vangu? Uye ndiani dombo kunze kwaBaba vedu? NdiBaba vangu vanondishongedza nesimba uye vanoita kuti nzira yangu ive isina mhosva. Vanoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzifanane netsoka dzemhembwe uye vanondimisa zvakasimba panzvimbo dzakakwirira. Vanodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa, kuti maoko angu akwanise kukunga uta hwendarira. Makandipa nhoo yoruponeso rwenyu; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira, uye unyoro hwenyu hwakandiita mukuru. Munoitira nhanho dzangu nzvimbo yakafara pasi pangu, uye tsoka dzangu hadzitedzemuki.

Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavabata; handina kudzokera shure kusvikira vapera. Ndakavarova pasi zvokuti vakatadza kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu. Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti avo vakandimukira vawire pasi petsoka dzangu. Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vanditize, uye avo vaindivenga ndakavaparadza. Vakachema vachikumbira rubatsiro, asi pakanga pasina aiponesa; vakachema kuna Baba vangu, asi havana kuvapindura. Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva rinopeperetswa nemhepo; ndakavadurura sedope romumigwagwa. Makandinunura pakukakavadzana kwavanhu; makandiita musoro wendudzi; vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi zvino vava kundishandira. Pavanongondinzwa, vanonditeerera; vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera. Vatorwa vanoora mwoyo uye vanobuda vachidedera munhare dzavo.

Baba vangu vapenyu! Dombo rangu ngarikudzwe, uye Baba vanondiponesa ngavakudzwe, Baba vanondiruramisira uye vanokunda ndudzi vachidziisa pasi pangu, ivo vakandinunura kuvavengi vangu. Hongu, makandisimudza pamusoro paavo vakandimukira; makandinunura kumunhu ane utsinye. Nokuda kwaizvozvi ndichakurumbidzai, Baba vangu, pakati pendudzi, uye ndichaimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza.

Vanopa mambo wavo kukunda kukuru, uye vanoratidza rudo rwesungano kumuzodziwa wavo, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.
