Jeremia 17

¹“Chivi chaJudha chakanyorwa nechinyoreso chesimbi,

²Kunyange vana vavo vanorangarira

³Gomo rangu riri munyika

⁴Nokuda kwokutadza kwako, ucharasikirwa

⁵Zvanzi naJehovha:

⁶Achafanana negwenzi murenje;

⁷“Asi akakomborerwa munhu anovimba naJehovha,

⁸Achafanana nomuti wakasimwa pamvura,

⁹Mwoyo unonyengera kupfuura zvinhu zvose,

¹⁰“Ini Jehovha ndinonzvera mwoyo

¹¹Sechikwari chinochochonya mazai achisina kukandira,

¹²Chigaro choushe chinobwinya, chakanga chakasimudzirwa kubva pakutanga,

¹³Imi Jehovha, tariro yaIsraeri,

¹⁴Haiwa Jehovha, ndiporesei, ipapo ndichaporeswa;

¹⁵Vanogara vachiti kwandiri,

¹⁶Handina kutiza pakuva mufudzi wenyu;

¹⁷Musava chinhu chinotyisa kwandiri;

¹⁸Vatambudzi vangu ngavanyadziswe,

¹⁹Izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa naJehovha kwandiri: “Enda undomira pasuo ravanhu, panopinda nokubuda namadzimambo eJudha; ugondomirazve pane mamwe masuo ose eJerusarema.

²⁰Uti kwavari, ‘Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi madzimambo eJudha navanhu vose veJudha navose vanogara muJerusarema vanopinda napamasuo aya.

²¹Zvanzi naJehovha: Zvichenjererei kuti murege kutakura mutoro nomusi weSabata kana kuupinza napasuo reJerusarema.

²²Musabudisa mitoro mudzimba dzenyu kana kuita basa ripi neripi pazuva reSabata, asi chengetai zuva reSabata rive dzvene, sezvandakarayira madzitateguru enyu.

²³Asi havana kunzwa kana kurereka nzeve dzavo; vakava nemitsipa mikukutu uye havana kumboteerera kana kugamuchira kurayirwa.

²⁴Asi kana mukachenjerera kuti munditeerere, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, mukasauya nemitoro napamasuo eguta iri nomusi weSabata, asi muchichengeta zuva reSabata kuti rive dzvene nokusaita basa ripi neripi pazuva iroro,

²⁵ipapo madzimambo anogara pachigaro choushe chaDhavhidhi vachauya napamasuo eguta namachinda avo. Ivo namachinda avo vachauya vakakwira ngoro namabhiza, vachiperekedzwa navarume veJudha navose vanogara muJerusarema, uye guta rino richagarwa nokusingaperi.

²⁶Vanhu vachauya kumaguta eJudha uye nokumisha yakapoteredza Jerusarema, kubva kunyika yeBhenjamini nokujinga rezvikomo zvokumavirira, nokunyika yemakomo uye nokuNegevhi, vachiuyisa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro, uye zvipiriso zvezviyo, nezvinonhuhwira nezvipo zvokuvonga kuimba yaJehovha.

²⁷Asi kana mukarega kunditeerera kuti muchengete zuva reSabata kuti rive dzvene, musingaregi kutakura mutoro pamunopinda pamasuo eJerusarema nezuva reSabata, ipapo ndichabatidza moto usingadzimwe mumasuo eJerusarema uchapedza nharo dzaro.’ ”
