¹Zvino vamwe vakuru vaIsiraeri vakauya kwandiri, vakagara pasi pamberi pangu.

¹¶ Katahi ka haere mai etahi o nga kaumatua o Iharaira ki ahau, noho ana i toku aroaro.

²Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,

²Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau: i mea ia,

³Mwanakomana womunhu, vanhu ava vakapinza zvifananidzo zvavo mumoyo yavo, nokuisa chigumbuso chezvakaipa zvavo pamberi pavo; zvino ndingatongotenda kubvunzwa navo here?

³E te tama a te tangata, kua oti i enei tangata a ratou whakapakoko te whakaara ki o ratou ngakau, kua waiho e ratou te tutukitanga waewae, to ratou he, ki mua i o ratou mata; kia rapua koia e ratou he tikanga i ahau?

⁴Naizvozvo taura navo, uti kwavari, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, munhu mumwe nomumwe weimba yaIsiraeri anopinza zvifananidzo zvake mumoyo make, nokuisa chigumbuso chezvakaipa zvake pamberi pake, akauya kumuporofita, ini Jehovha ndichamupindura zvakafanira izvozvo, zvakafanira kuwanda kwezvifananidzo zvake;

⁴Mo reira korero ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko te tangata o te whare o Iharaira e whakaara ana i ana whakapakoko ki tona ngakau, e whakatakoto ana i te tutukitanga waewae, i tona he, ki mua i tona mata, a e haere mai ana ki te poropiti; ko taku, ko ta Ihowa, e whakahoki ai ki taua tangata i haere mai ra, ka rite ki te maha o ana whakapakoko;

⁵kuti ndibate imba yaIsiraeri mumoyo yavo, nekuti vazviita vatorwa kwandiri nemhaka yezvifananidzo zvavo.

⁵Kia hopukia ai te whare o Iharaira i roto i o ratou ngakau; kua tangata ke hoki ratou katoa ki ahau, na a ratou whakapakoko hoki.

⁶Naizvozvo iti kuimba yaIsiraeri, Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, dzokai, mufuratire zvifananidzo zvenyu, mufuratidze zvinonyangadza zvenyu zvose zviso zvenyu.

⁶Mo reira mea atu ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ripeneta, tahuri mai i a koutou whakapakoko; tahuri mai ano o koutou mata i a koutou mea whakarihariha katoa.

⁷nekuti mumwe nomumwe weimba yaIsiraeri, kana wavatorwa vagere panyika yaIsiraeri, anoparadzana neni, achipinza zvifananidzo zvake mumoyo make, nokuisa chigumbuso chezvakaipa zvake pamberi pake, akauya kumuporofita kuti iye andibvunze nokuda kwake, ini Jehovha ndichamupindura ndimene;

⁷Na, ko te tangata o te whare o Iharaira, ko te tautangata ano e noho ana i roto i a Iharaira, e whakatangata ke ana ki ahau, e whakaara ana i ana whakapakoko ki tona ngakau, e whakatakoto ana i te tutukitanga waewae, i tona he, ki mua i tona mata, a e haere mai ana ki te poropiti ki te rapu i taku tikanga i a ia; maku ake ano, ma Ihowa, e whakahoki kupu ki a ia.

⁸ndicharinzira munhu uyo chiso changu ndimuitire zvakaipa, ndichamuita chishamiso nechiratidzo netsumo, ndichamubvisa pakati pavanhu vangu; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.

⁸Ka u atu hoki toku mata ki taua tangata, ka meinga ia e ahau he miharotanga hei tohu, hei whakatauki, ka hatepea atu ano ia e ahau i roto i taku iwi; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

⁹Zvino kana muporofita akanyengerwa, akataura shoko, ini Jehovha, ndini ndanyengera muporofita uyo, ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro pake, ndimuparadze pakati pavanhu vangu vaIsiraeri.

⁹Na, ki te he te poropiti i tana korerotanga i tetahi kupu, naku, na Ihowa, taua poropiti i he ai, ka pa toku ringa ki a ia, a ka ngaro ia i ahau i roto i taku iwi, i a Iharaira.

¹⁰Vachava nemhosva yavo; zvakaipa zvomuporofita zvichaenzana nezvakaipa zveanobvunza kwaari;

¹⁰Ka waha ano e ratou to ratou he; ko te he o te poropiti ka rite ki te he o te tangata e rapu tikanga ana i a ia:

¹¹kuti imba yaIsiraeri irege kuzotsauka kwandiri, kana kuzozvisvibisa nokudarika kwavo kose, asi vave vanhu vangu, neni ndive Mwari wavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹¹He mea kia kore ai te whare o Iharaira e kotiti atu i te whai i ahau a muri ake nei, kei poke ano ratou a muri ake nei i o ratou pokanga ketanga katoa; engari kia waiho ai ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

¹²Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,

¹²¶ I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

¹³Mwanakomana womunhu, kana kune nyika ichinge yanditadzira nokudarika, ini ndikatambanudzira ruoko rwangu pamusoro payo, ndikavhuna mudonzvo wezvokudya zvayo, ndikatuma nzara pamusoro payo, nokuparadzapo vanhu nezvipfuwo;

¹³E te tama a te tangata, ki te hara te whenua ki ahau, ki te nui rawa te he, a ka totoro toku ringa ki reira, a ka whati i ahau tona tokotoko, te taro; ka unga ano e ahau te hemokai ki reira, ka hatepea ano e ahau te tangata me te kararehe o reir a:

¹⁴kunyange vanhu ava vatatu, nowa naDhanyeri naJobho, vakavamo, vangarwira mweya yavo yoga nokururama kwavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

¹⁴Ahakoa ko enei tangata tokotoru, ko Noa, ko Raniera, ko Hopa, i reira, ko o ratou wairua ake e ora i a ratou i to ratou tika, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

¹⁵Kana ndikafambisa zvikara munyika, zvikaipedzera vana, ikaitwa dongo, kukasava nomunhu angagona kufambamo nemhaka yezvikara;

¹⁵Ki te meinga e ahau he kirehe kino kia tika na waenganui i te whenua, a ka kore i a ratou, ka whakamotitia, a kahore he tangata e haere ana i reira i te wehi o nga kirehe:

¹⁶kunyange varume ava vatatu vaivamo, noupenyu hwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha havangarwiri vanakomana kana vanasikana; ivo voga vangarwirwa, asi nyika ichaitwa dongo.

¹⁶Ahakoa ko enei tangata tokotoru i reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e kore e ora nga tama, nga tamahine, i a ratou; ko ratou anake e ora, ka whakamotitia ia te whenua.

¹⁷Zvimwe kana ndikauyisa munondo pamusoro penyika iyo, ndikati, Munondo, pfuura napakati penyika! Ndikaparadzamo vanhu nezvipfuwo,

¹⁷Ki te kawea atu ranei e ahau te hoari ki runga ki taua whenua, a ka mea, E tika, e te hoari, na waenganui i te whenua; a ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata me te kararehe o reira:

¹⁸kunyange varume ava vatatu vaivamo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha havangarwiri vanakomana kana vanasikana, asi ivo vamene voga vangwarwirwa.

¹⁸Ahakoa ko enei tangata tokotoru i reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e kore e ora nga tama, nga tamahine i a ratou; ko ratou anake e ora.

¹⁹Zvimwe kana ndikatuma hosha yakaipa munyika iyo, ndikadurura hasha dzangu pamusoro payo neropa, kuti ndiparadzemo vanhu nezvipfuwo;

¹⁹Ki te tukua ranei e ahau te mate uruta ki taua whenua, a ka ringihia e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki taua wahi, he mea toto, kia hatepea atu ai te tangata me te kararehe o reira:

²⁰kunyange nowa naDhanyeri naJobho vaivamo, noupenyu hwangu ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, havangwarwiri mwanakomana kana mwanasikana; vangarwira mweya yavo yoga nokururama kwavo.

²⁰Ahakoa ko Noa, ko Raniera, ko Hopa, i reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e kore te tama, te tamahine ranei e ora i a ratou; ko ratou anake e ora i to ratou tika.

²¹nekuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Ndoda, kana ndikatuma pamusoro peJerusaremu zvakaipa zvina zvandakavatongera, zvinoti, munondo nenzara nezvikara zvakaipa nehosha yakaipa, kuti ndiparadzemo vanhu nezvipfuwo !

²¹No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Tera noa ake ina tukua e ahau aku whakawa kino e wha te hoari, te hemokai, te kirehe kino, te mate uruta ki Hiruharama, hei hatepe atu i te tangata, i te kararehe o reira.

²²Asi tarirai, vamwe vakasara vacharegwamo vachapukunyuka, vachatapwa, vari vanakomana navanasikana; tarirai, vachasvika kwamuri, muchaona nzira yavo nezvavanoita; ipapo muchanyaradzwa pamusoro pezvakaipa zvandakauyisa pamusoro peJerusaremu, pamusoro pezvose zvandakauyisa pamusoro paro.

²²Otiia, nana, ka toe etahi morehu ki reira, a ka whakaputaina he tama, he tamahine: nana, ka puta ratou ki a koutou, a ka kite koutou i to ratou ara, i a ratou mahi: ka whai whakamarietanga ano koutou mo te kino i kawea e ahau ki Hiruharama, ara mo nga mea katoa i kawea e ahau ki taua wahi.

²³Ivo vachakunyaradzai, kana muchiona nzira yavo nezvavanoita; ipapo muchaziva kuti handina kuita pasina zvose zvandakaitamo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.

²³Ka whai whakamarietanga ano koutou i a ratou, ina kite koutou i to ratou ara, i a ratou mahi: a ka mohio koutou, na, ko taku mahinga i nga mea katoa i mahia e ahau ki reira, ehara i te mea kore take, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
