¹Shoko, rakauya kuna Jeremiya, richibva kuna Jehovha, panguva yakatuma mambo Zedhekia kwaari Pashuri mwanakomana waMarikija, naZefaniya mwanakomana waMaaseya mupristi, achiti,

¹¶ Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa, i te ngarenga a Kingi Terekia i a Pahuru tama a Merekia, i a Tepania hoki, tama a Maaheia tohunga, ki a ia, hei ki,

²Dotibvunziraiwo kuna Jehovha, nekuti Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi worwa nesu; zvimwe Jehovha ungatiitira chishamiso chakafanana namabasa ake ose anoshamisa, kuti abve kwatiri.

²Rapua koa tetahi tikanga i a Ihowa mo tatou; kei te whawhai nei hoki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki a tatou: tera pea ta Ihowa mahi ki a tatou e rite ki ana mea whakamiharo katoa, a ka haere atu ia i to tatou wahi.

³Ipapo Jeremiya akati kwavari, Itiyi kuna Zedhekia,

³Katahi a Heremaia ka mea atu ki a ratou, Ko ta koutou tenei e korero ai ki a Terekia:

⁴Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari walsiraeri, tarirai, ndichadzosa nhumbi dzokurwa dziri mumaoko enyu, dzamunorwa nadzo namambo weBhabhironi navaKaradhea vanokukombai kunze mukati meguta rino,

⁴Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka whakahokia atu e ahau nga patu mo te whawhai i o koutou ringa, mo ta koutou whawhai ki te kingi o Papurona, ki nga Karari, e whakapae nei i a koutou i waho o te taiepa, ka huihuia hoki rato u e ahau ki waenganui o tenei pa.

⁵Ini ndimene ndicharwa nemwi nechanza chakatambanudzwa noruoko rune simba, nokutsamwa nehasha, neshungu kwadzo.

⁵A ko ahau nei ano hei whawhai ki a koutou ki te ringa maro, ki te takakau kaha, i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i te aritarita nui.

⁶Ndicharova vagere muguta rino, vanhu nezvipfuwo zvose; zvichafa nehosha yakaipa.

⁶A ka patua e ahau nga tangata o tenei pa, te tangata, te kararehe: ka mate ratou i te mate uruta nui.

⁷Pashure ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha ndichaisa Zedhekia mambo waJudha, navaranda vake navanhu vake, ivo vakasara muguta rino, vakapukunyuka pahosha, napamunondo, napanzara, mumaoko aNebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi, nomumaoko avavengi vavo, nomumaoko avanotsvaka kuvauraya; iye uchavarova nomunondo unopinza, haangavaregi, kana kuvanzwira tsitsi, kana kuva nenyasha navo.

⁷Na, muri iho, e ai ta Ihowa, ka hoatu e ahau a Terekia kingi o Hura ratou ko ana tangata, ko te iwi, ara ko te hunga o tenei pa e toe i te mate uruta, i te hoari, i te hemokai, ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ki te ringa o o ratou hoa whawhai, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: a ka patua ratou e ia ki te mata o te hoari; e kore ratou e tohungia e ia, e kore e manawapatia, e kore e arohaina.

⁸Iwe uti kuvanhu ava, Zvanzi naJehovha, Tarirai, ndinoisa pamberi penyu nzira yohupenyu nenzira yorufu.

⁸¶ Korero atu ano hoki koe ki tenei iwi, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, kua takoto i ahau ki to koutou aroaro te ara ki te ora, me te ara ki te mate.

⁹Ani naani unorambira muguta rino uchaurawa nomunondo nenzara nehosha; asi ani naani unobuda akaenda kuvaKaradhea vanokukombai, iye uchararama, hupenyu hwake huchava kwaari chinhu chaakapamba.

⁹Ko te tangata ka noho i tenei pa, ka mate i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta; ko te tangata ia e haere atu ana, a ka taka atu ki nga Karari e whakapae nei i a koutou, ka ora ia, a ko tona oranga hei taonga parakete ki a ia.

¹⁰nekuti zvanzi naJehovha, Ndakarinzira guta rino chiso changu kuti ndiriitire zvakaipa, ndirege kuriitira zvakanaka; richaiswa mumaoko amambo weBhabhironi, iye ucharipisa nomoto.

¹⁰No te mea kua whakamau atu toku mata ki tenei pa hei kino, kahore hoki hei pai, e ai ta Ihowa: ka hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka tahuna e ia ki te ahi.

¹¹Zvino kana iri imba yamambo waJudha, inzwai shoko raJehovha,

¹¹Na, ko te mea mo te whare o te kingi o Hura, whakarongo koutou ki te kupu a Ihowa;

¹²Nhai imba yaDhavhidhi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha tongai zvakarurama mangwanani, murwire wakabirwa muruoko rwounomumanikidza, kuti kutsamwa kwangu kurege kubuda somoto, kuchipfuta kusina ungakudzima, nokuda kwezvakaipa zvamabasa enyu.

¹²E te whare o Rawiri, ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakaritea te whakawa i te ata, whakaorangia ake hoki te tangata e pahuatia ana i roto i te ringa o te kaitukino, kei puta toku riri ano he ahi, a ka ka, te taea te tinei, mo te kino hoki o a koutou mahi.

¹³Tarira, ndine mhosva newe, iwe ugere mumupata, padombo romubani ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; imi, munoti, Ndiani uchapinda mudzimba dzedu?

¹³Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e te wahine e noho na i te raorao, i te kamaka hoki o te wahi papatairite, e ai ta Ihowa; koutou nana na te kupu, Ko wai e haere mai ki a tatou? ko wai ranei e tomo ki o tatou nohoanga?

¹⁴Ndichakurovai zvakaenzana nezvibereko zvamabasa enyu ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; ndichabatidza moto mudondo raro, uchapedza zvose zvakaripoteredza.

¹⁴A ka rite ki nga hua o a koutou mahi taku whiu i a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa: a ka ngiha i ahau he ahi i tona ngahere, e pau ai nga mea katoa a taka noa, taka noa i a ia.
