Jeremiya 16:1-21
16 Shoko raJehovha rakauyazve kwandiri richiti:
2 “Usaroora, uye usava nevanakomana nevanasikana munzvimbo ino.
3 Nekuti zvanzi naJehovha pamusoro pevanakomana uye vanasikana vanoberekerwa muno, uye pamusoro pavanaamai vavo vanovabereka uye pamusoro pavanababa vavo vanoita kuti vaberekwe munyika ino:
4 ‘Vachafa nezvirwere zvinouraya,+ asi hapana achavachema kana kuvaviga; vachava semupfudze panyika.+ Vachafa nebakatwa nenzara,+ uye zvitunha zvavo zvichadyiwa neshiri dzedenga nemhuka dzepanyika.’
5 Nekuti zvanzi naJehovha,‘Usapinda muimba inoitwa mutambo wevanochema,Uye usaenda kunochema kana kunovanyaradza.’+
‘Nekuti ndabvisa rugare rwangu pavanhu ava,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha,‘Pamwe chete nerudo rwangu rusingachinji netsitsi dzangu.+
6 Vakuru nevadiki vachafa munyika ino.
Havazovigwi,Hapana achavachema,Uye hapana achazvicheka-cheka kana kuzvigera muparavara nekuda kwavo.*
7 Hapana achapa zvekudya kune vaya vanenge vachichema,Kuti avanyaradze pakufirwa kwavo;Uyewo hapana achavapa kapu yekunyaradzaKuti vanwe vachichema baba kana amai vavo.
8 Usapinda muimba yemabikoKuti ugare pasi navo uchidya nekunwa.’
9 “Nekuti zvanzi naJehovha wemauto, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Mumazuva enyu ndichagumisa munzvimbo ino inzwi rekupembera neremufaro mukuru, inzwi remurume ari kuroora nenzwi remwenga, imi muchizviona.’+
10 “Paunoudza vanhu ava mashoko ese aya, vachakubvunza kuti, ‘Nei Jehovha ataura kuti tichawirwa nedambudziko guru rese iri? Chii chatakakanganisa uye chatakatadzira Jehovha Mwari wedu?’+
11 Unofanira kuvapindura kuti, ‘“Nekuti madzitateguru enyu akandisiya,”+ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha, “uye akaramba achitevera vamwe vanamwari, achivashumira nekuvakotamira.+ Asi ini akandisiya, uye haana kuchengeta mutemo wangu.+
12 Imi makaita zvakaipa kutopfuura madzitateguru enyu,+ uye mumwe nemumwe wenyu ari kutevera mwoyo wake wakaoma uye wakaipa pane kunditeerera.+
13 Saka ndichakukandai kunze kwenyika ino muchinopinda munyika yamusina kuziva imi kana madzitateguru enyu,+ uye ikoko muchange mava kufanira kushumira vamwe vanamwari siku nesikati,+ nekuti handizokunzwirii nyasha.”’
14 “‘Zvisinei, mazuva achasvika,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha, ‘pavasingazotizve: “NaJehovha mupenyu akabudisa vaIsraeri munyika yeIjipiti!”+
15 asi vachati: “NaJehovha mupenyu, akaunza vaIsraeri achivabvisa munyika yekuchamhembe nemunyika dzese dzaakanga avaparadzira kwadziri!” Ndichavadzosa kunyika yavo, yandakapa madzitateguru avo.’+
16 ‘Ndichashevedza vabati vehove vazhinji,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha,‘Uye vachavaraura vovabata.
Pashure peizvi ndichashevedza vavhimi vazhinji,Uye vachavavhima mumakomo ese nemuzvikomo zveseNemumikaha yematombo.
17 Nekuti maziso angu ari kuona zvese zvavanoita.*
Zviri pachena kwandiri,Uyewo kukanganisa kwavo hakuna kuvanzwa pamberi pangu.
18 Kutanga, ndichatsiva zvakaenzanirana nekukanganisa kwavo nechivi chavo,+Nekuti vakasvibisa nyika yangu nezvidhori zvavo zvinosemesa zvisina upenyuUye vakazadza nhaka yangu nezvinhu zvavo zvinosemesa.’”+
19 Haiwa Jehovha, simba rangu nenhare* yangu,Nzvimbo yangu yekutizira pazuva rekutambudzika,+Marudzi achauya kwamuri achibva kumigumo yenyika,Uye achati: “Madzitateguru edu akagara nhaka nhema dzisingaiti,Zvinhu pasina uye zvisina maturo, zvisina zvazvinobatsira.”+
20 Munhu angazvigadzirira vanamwari here?Zvaanogadzira hazvisi vanamwari.+
21 “Saka ndichaita kuti vazive,Panguva iyoyo ndichaita kuti vazive simba rangu neukuru hwangu,Uye vachaziva kuti ndinonzi Jehovha.”
