¹Tarira, zuva raJehovha rinosvika, nenguva iyo zvawakapamba zvichagoverwa mukati mako.

²nekuti ndichaunganidza ndudzi dzose dzavanhu kuzorwa neJerusaremu; guta richakundwa, dzimba dzichapambwa, navakadzi vavo vachachinyiwa; hafu yeguta vachatapwa, asi vakasara vavanhu havangabviswi muguta.

³Ipapo Jehovha achabuda, ndokurwa nendudzi idzedzo, sezvaakarwa nezuva rehondo.

⁴Nezuva iro tsoka dzake dzichamira pagomo reMiorivhi, riri pamberi peJerusaremu kurutivi rwamabvazuva; gomo reMiorivhi richapamuka napakati, zvichibva kumabvazuva zvichienda kumavirazuva, kukavapo mupata mukuru kwazvo; imwe hafu yegomo ichatsedukira kurutivi rwokumusoro, imwe hafu yaro kurutivi rwezasi.

⁵Muchatiza nomumupata wamakomo angu, nekuti mupata wamakomo uchandosvika paAzeri; zvirokwazvo muchatiza, sezvamakatiza kudengenyeka kwenyika pamazuva aUziya mambo waJudha; ipapo Jehovha Mwari wenyu achauya, navatsvene vose pamwechete newe.

⁶Zvino nezuva iro chiedza chichashaikwa, zvinopenya zvichadzimwa.

⁷Asi richava zuva rimwe rinozikamwa naJehovha, hapangavi namasikati kana husiku, asi nenguva yamadekwana chiedza chichavapo.

⁸Zvino nezuva iro mvura mhenyu zhinji ichabuda muJerusaremu; imwe hafu yayo ichayerera kugungwa rokumabvazuva, imwe hafu yayo kugungwa rokumavirazuva; zvichaitwa pazhizha napachando.

⁹Jehovha achava Mambo wenyika yose; nezuva iro Jehovha achava mumwechete, nezita rake rimwe chete.

¹⁰Nyika yose ichaita sebani, zvichibva Gebha kusvikira paRimoni, kurutivi rwezasi rweJerusaremu; iro richakwiridzwa, richagara panzvimbo yaro, kubva pasuwo raBhenjamini kusvikira kunzvimbo yesuwo rokutanga, kusvikira kusuwo rekona, nokubva kurutura rwaHananeri kusvikira kuzvishiro zvewaini zvamambo.

¹¹Vanhu vachagaramo; kutukwa hakungazovipo, asi Jerusaremu richagara rakachengetwa.

¹²Uku ndiko kurova Jehovha kwaacharova nako ndudzi dzose dzavanhu vakarwa neJerusaremu, nyama yavo ichaora vamire namakumbo avo, meso avo achaorera mumakomba awo, norurimi rwavo ruchaorera mumiromo yavo.

¹³Zvino nezuva iro kunyonganiswa kukuru kunobva kuna Jehovha kuchavapo pakati pavo; mumwe nomumwe achabata ruoko rwowokwake, uye ruoko rwake ruchasimudzirwa ruoko rwowokwake.

¹⁴Judha vacharwawo paJerusaremu; fuma yendudzi dzose dzavanhu vakapoteredza ichaunganidzwa, inoti ndarama, nesirivha, nenguvo, zvizhinji kwazvo.

¹⁵Sezvakaita kurohwa uku, ndizvo zvichaitawo kurohwa kwamabhiza namahesera, nengamera, nembongoro, nezvipfuwo zvose zvichavapo pamisasa iyo.

¹⁶Zvino vose vakasara vendudzi dzose dzakarwa neJerusaremu, vachakwira gore rimwe nerimwe kundonamata Mambo, iye Jehovha wehondo, nokutamba mutambo wamatumba.

¹⁷Ani naani pamarudzi enyika asingakwiri Jerusaremu kundonamata Mambo, Jehovha wehondo, haanganisirwi mvura.

¹⁸Kana rudzi rwavaEgipita rusingakwiri, vakasasvikapo, naivo vachavingwa nokurohwa Jehovha kwaacharova nako ndudzi dzavanhu dzinoramba kukwira kundotamba mutambo wamatumba.

¹⁹Uku ndiko kurohwa kwechivi cheEgipita nokurohwa kwechivi chendudzi dzose dzinoramba kukwira kundotamba mutambo wamatumba.

²⁰Nezuva iro pamatare anorira amabhiza pachanyorwa, pachiti, ZVITSVENE KUNA JEHOVHA; nehari dziri mumba maJehovha dzichafanana nembiya dziri pamberi pearitari.

²¹Zvirokwazvo, hari imwe neimwe paJerusaremu napaJudha ichava tsvene kuna Jehovha wehondo; vose vanoda kubayira vachauya vachidzitora, kuzobikiramo; nezuva iro hapachazovi nomuKanani mumba maJehovha wehondo.
