¹Zvino Samueri wakafa; vaIsiraeri vose vakaungana, vakamuchema, vakamuviga mumba make paRama. Dhavhidhi akasimuka, akaburukira kurenje reParani.

¹¶ Na ka mate a Hamuera, a ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki te tangi ki a ia, a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare ki Rama. Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ki te koraha o Parana.

²Zvino paMaoni pakanga pano munhu, waiva nefuma yake paKarimeri; munhu uyu wakange ari mukuru kwazvo, wakange ana makwai ane zviuru zvitatu, nembudzi dzine chiuru chimwe; iye wakange achiveura makwai ake paKarimeri.

²¶ A i Maono tetahi tangata, kei Karamere ona taonga; he nui rawa taua tangata, e toru mano ana hipi, kotahi mano nga koati: heoi kei te kutikuti tera i ana hipi ki Karamere.

³Zita romunhu uyu raiva Nabhari, uye zita romukadzi wake Abhigairi; mukadzi wakange akangwara, uye wakange akanaka kumeso; asi murume wakange ano moyo mukukutu, akaipa pamugarire wake; waive weimba yaKarebhi.

³Na ko te ingoa o taua tangata ko Napara, ko Apikaira hoki te ingoa o tana wahine; a he pai nga whakaaro o te wahine, he mata ataahua ano hoki: he pakeke ia te tane, i kino hoki ana mahi; no te whare ano ia o Karepe.

⁴Zvino Dhavhidhi wakanzwa kurenje kuti Nabhari wakange achiveura makwai ake.

⁴A ka rongo a Rawiri i te koraha kei te kutikuti a Napara i ana hipi.

⁵Dhavhidhi akatuma majaya ane gumi, Dhavhidhi akati kumajaya, Kwirai Karimeri, muende kuna Nabhari, mundomukwazisa nezita rangu.

⁵Ka unga etahi taitama e Rawiri, kotahi tekau; i mea hoki a Rawiri ki nga taitama, Haere ki runga ki Karamere, a ka tae ki a Napara, ka oha ki ai ia, me te whakahua ano i toku ingoa:

⁶Mugoti kuna iye agere pakati pefuma yake, Rugare ngaruve nemi, rugare ngaruve neimba yenyu, uye rugare ngaruve pazvinhu zvose zvamunazvo.

⁶A kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki taua tangata e noho ora mai nei, Kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia mau te rongo ki tou whare, kia mau te rongo ki au mea katoa.

⁷Zvino ndakanzwa kuti muna vaveuri; vafudzi venyu vaiva nesu zvino, asi hatina kuvatambudza, uye havana kurashikirwa nechinhu nguva yose yavakagara paKarimeri.

⁷Na kua rongo nei ahau he kaikutikuti au: na, au hepara i a matou ra, kihai ratou i ahatia e matou, kihai rawa hoki tetahi o a ratou mea i ngaro i nga ra katoa o ratou ki Karamere.

⁸Bvunzai majaya enyu, vakuudzei; zvino majaya ngaanzwirwe tsitsi nemi, nekuti tinouya nezuva rakanaka; ipai henyu varanda venyu nomwanakomana wenyu Dhavhidhi chinhu chipi nechipi chamunacho.

⁸Mau e ui ki au taitama, a ka korerotia e ratou ki a koe. Na kia manakohia nga taitama na e koe; kua tae mai hoki matou i te ra pai. Tena, homai ta tou ringa i tupono ai ki au pononga, ki tau tama hoki, ki a Rawiri.

⁹Zvino majaya aDhavhidhi akati asvika, akaudza Nabhari mashoko iwayo ose nezita raDhavhidhi, vakanyarara havo.

⁹Na, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou enei kupu katoa ki a Napara, me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o Rawiri, a heoi ano ta ratou.

¹⁰Ipapo Nabhari akapindura varanda vaDhavhidhi akati, Dhavhidhi ndianiko? Mazuva ano varanda vazhinji vanotiza vatenzi vavo.

¹⁰Na ka utu a Napara ki ta nga tangata a Rawiri, ka mea, Ko wai a Rawiri? ko wai hoki te tama a Hehe? he tini nga pononga i enei ra e tahuri ana i o ratou rangatira.

¹¹Ndingatora zvingwa zvangu, nemvura yangu, nenyama yangu yandakaurayira vaveuri vangu, ndizvipe varume vandisingazivi kuti vanobvekupiko here?

¹¹Me tango koia e ahau taku taro, toku wai, me aku mea hoki i patua nei e ahau ma aku kaikutikuti, me hoatu ma nga tangata kahore nei i mohiotia e ahau no hea ranei ratou?

¹²Naizvozvo majaya aDhavhidhi akapinduka hawo, akadzoka, akandomuudza mashoko iwayo ose.

¹²¶ Na ka tahuri nga tangata a Rawiri ki to ratou ara, a hoki ana, haere ana, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia enei mea katoa.

¹³Dhavhidhi akati kuvanhu vake, Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaasunge munondo wake; mumwe nomumwe akasunga munondo wake; naiye Dhavhidhiwo akasunga munondo wake; varume vanenge mazana mana vakatevera Dhavhidhi, vana mazana maviri vakasara panhumbi.

¹³Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata, Whitikiria a koutou hoari, e tenei, e tenei. Na whitikiria ana e ratou tana hoari, tana hoari; i whitiki ano a Rawiri i tana hoari. Na ka haere ki runga, ka whai i a Rawiri: tata tonu aua tangata ki te wha nga rau; e rua hoki nga rau i noho ki nga taonga.

¹⁴Asi mumwe wamajaya wakandoudza Abhigairi, mukadzi waNabhari, akati, Tarirai, Dhavhidhi wakange atuma nhume, ari kurenje, kundokwazisa tenzi wedu; ivo vakavatuka kwazvo.

¹⁴Otiia ka korero tetahi o nga taitama ki a Apikaira wahine a Napara ka mea, Nana, i tona mai etahi tangata e Rawiri i te koraha, ki te oha ki to matou rangatira; heoi whakatupehupehu ana ia ki a ratou.

¹⁵Asi varume avo vaitiitira zvakanaka, hatina kutambudzwa navo; hatina kurashikirwa nechinhu mazuva ose atakafambidzana navo kusango.

¹⁵Otiia pai rawa aua tangata ki a matou, kihai hoki i aha ki a matou, kihai ano i ngaro tetahi mea a matou i nga ra katoa i haereere tahi ai matou me ratou, i a matou ra i te parae.

¹⁶Vakanga vakaita sorusvingo kwatiri usiku namasikati mazuva ose ataigara navo tichifudza makwai.

¹⁶He taiepa ratou ki a matou i te po, i te ao, i nga ra katoa i tata ai matou ki a ratou, i a matou e tiaki ana i nga hipi.

¹⁷Naizvozvo zvino chizivai mufunge zvamungaita, nekuti tenzi wedu navose veimba yake vagara vafungirwa zvakaipa; nekuti munhu wakaisvoipa wakadaro, kuti hakuna munhu ungagona kutaura naye.

¹⁷Tena ra, mau e whakaaro, e titiro ki tau e mea ai; kua takoto hoki he kino mo to matou rangatira, ratou ko tona whare katoa: koia rawa hoki kia tama ia na Periara, kahore tetahi e ahei te korero ki a ia.

¹⁸Ipapo Abhigairi akakurumidza kutora zvingwa zvina mazana maviri, namatende maviri ewaini, namakwai mashanu akanga agadzirwa, nezviyero zvishanu zvezviyo zvakakangwa, namasumbu amazambiringa akawoma ane zana, namapundu amawonde ana mazana maviri, akazviisa pamusoro pembongoro.

¹⁸¶ Na hohoro tonu a Apikaira, maua atu ana e ia he taro e rua rau, he waina e rua nga ipu, he hipi e rima, he mea kua oti te taka, he kanga pahuhu e rima nga mehua, he tautau karepe maroke kotahi rau, he papa piki e rua rau, he mea whakawaha ki te kaihe.

¹⁹Akati kumajaya ake, Nditungamirirei, tarirai, ndinokuteverai. Asi haana kuudza murume wake Nabhari.

¹⁹Na ka mea ia ki ana taitama, Hoake ki mua i ahau; tena ahau te haere atu na i muri i a koutou. Kihai hoki i korerotia e ia ki tana tahu, ki a Napara.

²⁰Zvino wakati achifamba akatasva mbongoro yake, akaburukira pamupata pegomo, Dhavhidhi navarume vake vakaburukirawo kwaari; iye akasangana navo.

²⁰Na i a ia e haere atu ana i runga i tona kaihe, a e heke atu ana i te wahi ruru o te maunga, na ko Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata e heke mai ana, e tika mai ana ki a ia; na pono tonu atu ia ki a ratou.

²¹Zvino Dhavhidhi wakange ati, Zvirokwazvo, ndaichengeta hangu zvinhu zvose zvomunhu uyu nhandu murenje, hakuna chinhu chimwe chake chakarasika; akanditsiva nezvakaipa pane zvakanaka.

²¹Heoi kua ki a Rawiri, Maumau tiaki noa ahau i nga mea katoa a tenei koroke i te koraha, kahore rawa hoki tetahi o ana mea katoa i ngaro; na utua mai ana e ia te pai ki te kino.

²²Mwari ngaarove vavengi vaDhavhidhi, arambe achidaro, kana ndikarega kunyange mwanakomana mumwechete kuna vose vaanavo ari mupenyu kusvikira mangwana.

²²Kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki nga hoariri o Rawiri me etahi mea ano hoki, ki te waiho e ahau o ana mea katoa i te aonga ake kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

²³Zvino Abhigairi wakati achiona Dhavhidhi, akakurumidza kuburuka pambongoro yake, akawira pasi nechiso chake pamberi paDhavhidhi, akakotamira pasi.

²³Na, i te kitenga o Apikaira i a Rawiri, hohoro tonu ia, marere ana ki raro i te kaihe, tapapa ana i te aroaro o Rawiri, me te piko ano ki te whenua.

²⁴Akawira patsoka dzake, akati, Mhosva ngaive kwandiri, ishe wangu, ndinokumbira kuti murandakadzi wenyu ataure nemi, munzwe mashoko omurandakadzi wenyu.

²⁴Na ka takoto ia ki ona waewae, a ka mea, Hei runga i ahau, e toku ariki, hei runga i ahau te kino; na kia korero tau pononga wahine ki ou taringa, whakarongo mai hoki ki nga kupu a tau pononga.

²⁵Ndinokumbira kuti ishe wangu arege hake kurangarira munhu uyu wakaisvoipa, iye Nabhari; nekuti sezita rake ndizvo zvaakaitawo iye, zita rake ndiNabhari, naiye ibenzi; asi ini murandakadzi wenyu, handina kuona majaya ashe wangu amakatuma.

²⁵Kaua te ngakau o toku ariki e mea ki tenei tangata a Periara, ki a Napara: ko tona ingoa hoki, ko ia, rite tahi: ko Napara tona ingoa; kei a ia ano te wairangi. Ko ahau ia, ko tau pononga wahine, kihai i kite i nga taitama a toku ariki i tonoa a ke ra e koe.

²⁶Naizvozvo zvino, ishe wangu, naJehovha mupenyu, uye nomweya wenyu mupenyu, zvaari Jehovha wakakudzivisai kuteura ropa nokuzvitsiva noruoko rwenyu, naizvozvo zvino vavengi venyu navanotsvaka kuitira ishe wangu zvakaipa, ngavave saNabhari.

²⁶Na, e toku ariki, e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, i a Ihowa kau pupuri nei i a koe i te hara o te whakaheke toto, kei pa tou ringa ake ki te rapu utu, kia rite aianei ki a Napara ou hoariri, me te hunga e rapu ana i te he mo toku a riki.

²⁷Zvino, ishe wangu, chipo ichi chamakavigirwa nomurandakadzi wenyu, ngachipiwe hacho majaya anotevera ishe wangu.

²⁷Na, ko tenei manaakitanga i kawea mai nei e tau pononga ki toku ariki, tukua kia hoatu ki nga taitama i raro i nga waewae o toku ariki.

²⁸Kangamwirai henyu kudarika komurandakadzi wenyu, nekuti zvirokwazvo Jehovha uchaitira ishe wangu imba yakasimba, nekuti ishe wangu unorwa hondo dzaJehovha; zvakaipa hazvingawanikwi kwamuri mazuva enyu ose.

²⁸Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho te kino a tau pononga wahine; he mea kua takoto rawa ta Ihowa whakapumau i te whare o toku ariki; e whawhai ana hoki toku ariki i nga whawhai a Ihowa; a e kore e mau tetahi he ou i ou ra katoa.

²⁹Kunyange munhu akasimuka kukudzingirirai, nokutsvaka kukuurayai, mweya washe wangu ucharamba wakasungirwa pachisote chavapenyu vari kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu, asi mweya yavavengi venyu uchaiposhera kure, ichiita seinobva muchikanda chechifuramabwe.

²⁹Ahakoa whakatika mai tetahi tangata ki te whai i a koe, ki te rapu i tou wairua, heoi ka paiherea te wairua o toku ariki ki roto ki te paihere ora ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; ko nga wairua ia o ou hoariri ka piua atu me te mea no waenga pu i te kot aha.

³⁰Zvino kana Jehovha azoitira ishe wangu zvose zvakanaka zvaakanga ataura pamusoro penyu, akakugadzai mukava mambo waIsiraeri,

³⁰A tenei ake, kei ta Ihowa meatanga ki toku ariki i nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia hei pai mou, a ka whakaturia koe e ia hei rangatira mo Iharaira;

³¹murege kuzvidemba pamusoro pechinhu ichi, uye ishe wangu arege kuzvidya moyo, nekuti makateura ropa risine mhosva, kana nekuti ishe wangu wakazvitsiva; zvino kana Jehovha achinge aitira ishe wangu zvakanaka, murangarirewo murandakadzi wenyu.

³¹Na, e kore tenei e waiho hei whakapouri mou, hei whakararu ranei mo te ngakau o toku ariki, ara tau whakaheke noa i te toto, te rapu ranei a toku ariki i te utu mona ake: e puta raia ta Ihowa pai ki toku ariki, na kia mahara ki tau pononga wahin e.

³²Dhavhidhi akati kuna Abhigairi, Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri ngaakudzwe, iye wakakutuma nhasi kuzosangana neni;

³²¶ Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apikaira, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei koe i tono mai i tenei ra ki te whakatau i ahau.

³³nokungwara kwako ngakukudzwe, newewo ukudzwe, nekuti wakandidzivirira nhasi kuti ndirege kuteura ropa, nokuzvitsiva noruoko rwangu.

³³Kia whakapaingia ano tou whakaaro tika, kia whakapaingia ano koe, mou i pupuri i ahau i tenei ra i te hara o te whakaheke toto, i te rapu utu hoki a toku ringa ake.

³⁴Zvirokwazvo, naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri mupenyu, iye wakandidzivirira kuti ndirege kukuitira zvakaipa, dai usina kukurumidza kuuya kuzosangana neni, Nabhari zvirokwazvo haazaisarirwa mangwana kana koedza nomwana mumwe womukomana.

³⁴Na e ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei ahau i pupuri kei kino ki a koe, me i kahore koe i hohoro te haere mai ki te whakatau i ahau, ina, kihai i toe ki te awatea apopo teahi mea a Napara kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

³⁵Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akagamuchira paruoko rwake zvaakanga amuvigira, akati kwaari, Kwira hako norugare kumba kwako; tarira ndateerera inzwi rako, ndakunzwira tsitsi.

³⁵Heoi ka tangohia e Rawiri i tona ringa nga mea i kawea mai e ia ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere i runga i te rangimarie ki tou whare: titiro, kua whakarongo nei ahau ki tou reo, kua whakapai hoki ki a koe.

³⁶Abhigairi akasvika kuna Nabhari, akamuwana ari kumutambo mumba make, wakange wakafanana nomutambo wamambo ; moyo waNabhari wakange wakafara mukati make, nekuti wakange abatwa kwazvo; naizvozvo haana kumuudza chinhu, kunyange chiduku kana chikuru, kusvikira mangwana koedza.

³⁶¶ Na haere ana a Apikaira ki a Napara, a i te mea hakari tera i roto i tona whare, koia ano kei te hakari a te kingi, a koa ana te ngakau o Napara i roto i a ia, he nui hoki tona haurangi. Na kihai i korerotia e ia tetahi mea ki a ia, ahakoa iti, ahakoa rahi, a marama noa te ata.

³⁷Zvino fume mangwana, waini yakati yabva kuna Nabhari, mukadzi wake akamurondedzera mashoko iwayo, moyo wake ukafa mukati make, akaita sebwe.

³⁷A, i te ata i te mea ka kore atu te waina i a Napara, na korerotia ana e tana wahine ki a ia enei mea katoa; na mate iho tona ngakau i roto i a ia, heoi kua rite ia ki te kohatu.

³⁸Mazuva anenge gumi akati apera, Jehovha akarova Nabhari, akafa.

³⁸A, ka tekau nga ra, ka patua a Napara e Ihowa, a ka mate.

³⁹Zvino Dhavhidhi wakati anzwa kuti Nabhari wafa, akati, Jehovha ngaakudzwe wakanditsiva pakuzvidzwa kwangu naNabhari, akadzivirira muranda wake kuti arege kuita zvakaipa; zvakaipa zvaNabhari Jehovha wakazvidzosera pamusoro wake. Ipapo Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kuna Abhigairi kukumbira kuti ave mukadzi wake.

³⁹A, no te rongonga o Rawiri kua mate a Napara, ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tohe nei i te tohe ki a Napara mo toku tawainga; i pupuri nei i tana pononga kei kino, a whakahokia atu ana e Ihowa te kino a Napara ki runga ki tona matenga ake. Na ka tono tangata a Rawiri ki te korero ki a Apikaira, ki te tiki i a ia hei wahine mana.

⁴⁰Zvino varanda vaDhavhidhi vakati vachisvika kuna Abhigairi paKarimeri, vakataura naye vakati, Dhavhidhi wakatitumira kwauri kuzokutora uve mukadzi wake.

⁴⁰A, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri ki a Apikaira ki Karamere, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, I tonoa mai matou e Rawiri ki te tiki mai i a koe hei wahine mana.

⁴¹Ipapo akasimuka, akakotamira pasi nechiso chake, akati, Tarirai murandakadzi wenyu, ndiri murandakadzi unoshambidza tsoka dzashe wangu.

⁴¹Na ka whakatika tera, a piko ana tona mata ki te whenua, ka mea, Tenei tau pononga hei pononga wahine, hei horoi i nga waewae o nga tangata a toku ariki.

⁴²Abhigairi akakurumidza, akasimuka, akatasva mbongoro, akaenda navasikana vake vashanu; akatevera nhume dzaDhavhidhi, akava mukadzi wake.

⁴²Na hohoro ana a Apikaira, a whakatika ana, eke ana ki te kaihe; tokorima hoki ana kotiro i haere tahi me ia; na aru ana ia i nga karere a Rawiri, a ka waiho hei wahine mana.

⁴³Dhavhidhi akawanawo Ahinowamu muJezereeri, ivo vose vaviri vakava vakadzi vake.

⁴³I tangohia ano e Rawiri a Ahinoama o Ietereere; a ka waiho raua tokorua hei wahine mana.

⁴⁴Zvino Sauro wakange akapa Pariti, mwanakomana waRaishi, waiva weGarimi, mukunda wake Mikari, mukadzi waDhavhidhi.

⁴⁴Heoi kua hoatu e Haora a Mikara tana tamahine, te wahine a Rawiri, ki a Parati tama a Raihi, o Karimi.
