18 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Sokudururwa kwakaitwa hasha dzangu nokutsamwa kwangu pamusoro peavo vaigara muJerusarema, saizvozvo kutsamwa kwangu kuchadururirwa pamusoro penyu kana maenda kuIjipiti. Muchava chinhu chinotukwa nechinosemwa, nechinomhurwa, nokuzvidzwa; hamuchazombooni nzvimbo ino zvakare.’

19 “Haiwa imi vakasara veJudha, Jehovha akuudzai kuti, ‘Musaenda kuIjipiti.’ Ivai nechokwadi: ndinokuyambirai nhasi

22 Saka zvino, ivai nechokwadi nezvizvi: Muchafa nomunondo, nenzara, uye nedenda kunzvimbo yamunoda kuenda kundogara.”

1 Jeremia akati apedza kuudza vanhu mashoko ose aJehovha Mwari wavo, zvose zvaakanga atumwa naJehovha kuti avaudze,

2 Azaria mwanakomana waHoshaya naJohanani mwanakomana waKarea navarume vose vaizvikudza vakati kuna Jeremia, “Unoreva nhema iwe! Jehovha Mwari wedu haana kukutuma kuti uzoti, ‘Hamufaniri kuenda kuIjipiti kundogara ikoko.’

3 Asi Bharuki mwanakomana waNeria ndiye anokukusvudzira pamusoro pedu kuti tiiswe kuvaBhabhironi, kuti vagotiuraya kana kutitora vachitiendesa kuBhabhironi.”

4 Naizvozvo Johanani mwanakomana waKarea navakuru vose vehondo navanhu vose havana kuteerera murayiro waJehovha kuti vagare munyika yeJudha.

7 Saka vakapinda muIjipiti vasingateereri Jehovha vakaenda zvokutosvika kuTapanesi.

8 Vari paTapanesi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Jeremia, richiti,

9 “Tora mabwe makuru uavige mudhaka pakati pezvitinha panopindwa napo kumuzinda waFaro uri paTapanesi, vaJudha vakatarisa.

Njodzi nokuda kwoKunamata Zvifananidzo

1 Shoko iri rakasvika kuna Jeremia pamusoro pavaJudha vose vakanga vagere zasi kweIjipiti, muMigidhori nomuTapanesi nomuNofi, nokumusoro kweIjipiti, richiti,

2 “Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Makaona njodzi huru yandakauyisa pamusoro peJerusarema nomumaguta ose eJudha. Nhasi uno asiyiwa angova matongo

6 Naizvozvo kutsamwa kwangu kunotyisa kwakadururwa; kukapisa maguta eJudha uye nenzira dzeJerusarema ndikazviparadza zvikava matongo sezvazvakaita nhasi.

7 “Zvino, zvanzi naJehovha, Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Munouyisireiko njodzi yakakura kudai pamusoro penyu nokuparadzira kubva kuJudha varume navakadzi, navana, navacheche nokudaro muchisara musina kana nomumwe?

11 “Naizvozvo, zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndafunga kuuyisa njodzi pamusoro penyu nokuparadza Judha yose.

12 Ndichabvisa vakasara veJudha vakanga vashinga kuenda kuIjipiti kundogarako. Vose vachafira muIjipiti, vachafa nomunondo kana kufa nenzara. Kubva kumuduku kusvikira kumukuru, vachafa nomunondo kana nenzara. Vachava chinhu chinotukwa nechinosemwa, chinhu chinoshorwa nechinonyadzisa.

15 Ipapo varume vose vaiziva kuti vakadzi vavo vaipisira zvinonhuwira kuna vamwe vamwari, pamwe chete navakadzi vose vaivapo, ungano huru, navanhu vose vakanga vagere nokumusoro zasi kweIjipiti, vakati kuna Jeremia,

16 “Hatingateereri shoko rawakataura kwatiri muzita raJehovha!

19 Vakadzi vakapamhidzira vachiti, “Patakapisira zvinonhuwira kuna Mambokadzi wokudenga, nokudururira zvipiriso zvokunwa kwaari, varume vedu vanga vasingazivi here kuti taimuitira makeke akaita somufananidzo wake nokumudururira zvipiriso zvinonwiwa?”

20 Ipapo Jeremia akati kuvanhu vose, varume navakadzi, vakanga vachimupindura,

21 “Ko, Jehovha haana kurangarira here nokufunga pamusoro pezvinonhuwira zvaipiswa mumaguta eJudha nomunzira dzeJerusarema nemi namadzibaba enyu namadzimambo enyu namachinda enyu uye navanhu venyika?

24 Ipapo Jeremia akati kuvanhu vose kusanganisira vakadzi, “Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vanhu vose veJudha vari muIjipiti.

25 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Imi navakadzi venyu maratidza nezviito zvenyu, zvamakavimbisa pamakati, ‘Zvirokwazvo mhiko dzedu dzatakapika tichadzizadzisa nokupisa zvinonhuwira uye nokudururira zvipiriso zvokunwa kuna Mambokadzi woKudenga.’ “Endererai henyu mberi zvino, itai zvamakavimbisa!

27 Nokuti ndinovarindira kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa kwete zvakanaka, vaJudha vari muIjipiti vachafa nomunondo uye nenzara kusvikira vose vaparadzwa.

28 Avo vachapukunyuka pamunondo vakadzokera kunyika yeJudha vachibva kuIjipiti vachava vashoma kwazvo. Ipapo vose vakasara vavaJudha vakauya kuzogara kuIjipiti vachaziva kuti shoko rinogara nderani, rangu kana ravo.

Shoko kuna Bharuki

1 Izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa nomuprofita Jeremia kuna Bharuki mwanakomana waNeria, mugore rechina raJehoyakimi mwanakomana waJosia mambo weJudha, shure kwokunyora kwaBharuki rugwaro rwamashoko aJeremia aakanga achimudaidzira, achiti,

2 “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kunewe Bharuki:

3 Iwe wakati, ‘Ndine nhamo! Jehovha apamhidzira kusuwa pakurwadziwa kwangu; ndaneta nokugomera uye ndashayiwa zororo.’ ”

4 Jehovha akati, “Uti kwaari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndichakoromora zvandakavaka nokudzura zvandakasima, panyika yose.

Shoko pamusoro peIjipiti

1 Iri ndiro shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Jeremia muprofita pamusoro pendudzi:

8 Ijipiti yazara seNairi, senzizi dzamapopopo. Inoti, “Ndichazara ndigofukidza nyika; ndichaparadza maguta navanhu vawo.

9 Virimai, imi mabhiza! Chairai nehasha, imi vatasvi vengoro! Fambirai mberi, imi mhare, varume veEtiopia nePuti vanoitakura nhoo, varume veRidhia vanowembura uta.

10 Asi zuva iro nderaShe, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, iro zuva rokutsiva, rokutsiva vavengi vake. Munondo uchadya kusvikira waguta, kusvikira wapodza nyota yawo neropa. Nokuti Ishe, iye Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, achabayira chibayiro kunyika yokumusoro paRwizi Yufuratesi.

11 “Kwira kuGireadhi undotora bharimu, iwe Mwanasikana weIjipiti. Asi unongowanza mishonga pasina; kuporeswa kwako hapana.

12 Ndudzi dzichanzwa nezvokunyadziswa kwako; kuchema kwako kuchazadza nyika. Mhare ichabondera pane imwe mhare; vachawira pasi pamwe chete.”

13 Iri ndiro shoko rakataurwa naJehovha kuna Jeremia muprofita, pamusoro pokuuya kwaNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi kuzorwa neIjipiti achiti,

14 “Zivisai izvi muIjipiti, mugozviparidza paMigidhori; zviparidzeiwo paMemufisi neTapanesi muchiti, ‘Torai nzvimbo yenyu uye muzvigadzirire, nokuti munondo unodya vakakupoteredzai.’

15 Ko, mhare dzenyu dzingadzikisirwei? Havangagoni kumira, nokuti Jehovha achavadzikisa pasi.

16 Vacharamba vachingogumburwa; vachawirana pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe wavo. Vachati, ‘Simukai, ngatidzokerei kuvanhu vokwedu nokunyika yedu, kure nomunondo womumanikidzi wedu.’

17 Ikoko vachadanidzira vachiti, ‘Faro mambo weIjipiti anongova ruzha chete; akatadza kushandisa mukana wake.’

18 “Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mambo, ane zita rinonzi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, “pano mumwe achauya akaita seTabhori pakati pamakomo, seKarimeri pagungwa.

19 Rongedzai zvinhu zvenyu, nokuti muchaenda kuutapwa, imi munogara muIjipiti, nokuti Memufisi ichaitwa dongo, uye ichava dongo risina anogaramo.

20 “Ijipiti itsiru rakaisvonaka, asi vuvo riri kuuya kuzorwisa richibva kumusoro.

21 Varwi vanorwa kuti vapuwe mari chete vari mairi, vakaita semhuru dzakakodzwa. Naivowo vachadzoka uye vachatiza pamwe chete, havangamiri, nokuti zuva renjodzi riri kuuya pamusoro pavo, iyo nguva yokurangwa kwavo.

22 Ijipiti ichashinyira senyoka inotiza pakuuya nechisimba kwomuvengi; vachauya kuzorwa nayo namasanhu, savarume vanotema miti.

23 Vachatemera masango aro pasi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kunyange risingapinduki zvaro. Vakawanda kupfuura mhashu, havaverengeki.

24 Mwanasikana weIjipiti achanyadziswa, achaiswa mumaoko avanhu vokumusoro.”

25 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri, anoti, “Ndava pedyo nokuuyisa shamhu pamusoro paAmoni mwari weTebhesi, napamusoro paFaro, neIjipiti navamwari vayo namadzimambo ayo, napamusoro peavo vanovimba naFaro.

26 Ndichavaisa mumaoko eavo vanotsvaka kuvauraya, nokuna Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi namachinda ake. Shure kwaizvozvo, Ijipiti ichagarwa sepamazuva akare,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

27 “Usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu; usavhunduka iwe Israeri. Zvirokwazvo ndichakuponesa uri kunzvimbo iri kure, navana vako kubva kunyika yeutapwa hwavo, Jakobho achavazve norugare nokuchengetedzeka, uye hakuna achamutyisa.

28 Usatya, iwe Jakobho muranda wangu, nokuti ndinewe,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Kunyange ndikaparadza chose marudzi ose andakakuparadzirai pakati pawo, handizokuparadzei imi zvachose. Ndichakurangai, asi chete nokururamisira; handingakuregei musina kurangwa zvachose.”

Chirevo pamusoro pavaFiristia

1 Iri ndiro shoko raJehovha rakasvika kumuprofita Jeremia pamusoro pavaFiristia, Faro asati arwisa Gaza:

2 Zvanzi naJehovha, “Onai kukwira kunoita mvura zhinji yokumusoro; ivo vachava rwizi runopa pfuma nesimba. Vachafukidza nyika nezvose zviri mairi, maguta navose vanogaramo. Vanhu vachachema; vose vanogara munyika vachaungudza

3 nokuda kwomutsindo wemahwanda emabhiza, nomutinhiro wengoro dzavavengi, nokurira kwemavhiri adzo. Madzibaba haangadzoki kuzobatsira vana vavo; maoko avo acharembera seakaremara.

4 Nokuti zuva rasvika rokuparadza vaFiristia vose, nokuuraya vose vakasara vaigona kubatsira Tire neSidhoni. Jehovha ava pedyo nokuparadza vaFiristia, vaya vakasara vanobva kumahombekombe eKafitori.

5 Gaza ichaveura musoro waro mukuchema; Ashikeroni richati mwiro. Haiwa, imi vakasara vari pabani, muchasvika rinhiko muchizvicheka?

6 “Muchachema muchiti, ‘Nharirire, munondo waJehovha, uchasvika riniko usati wazorora? Dzokera mumuhara wako; mira, unyarare.’

7 Asi ungazorora sei, sezvo Jehovha akaurayira, sezvo akaurayira kuti urwise Ashikeroni namahombekombe?”

Chirevo pamusoro peMoabhu

1 Pamusoro peMoabhu: Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, “Ine nhamo Nebho, nokuti ichaparadzwa. Kiriataimi ichanyadziswa uye ichakundwa; nhare dzichanyadziswa uye dzichaparadzwa.

2 Moabhu haichazorumbidzwizve; muHeshibhoni varume vacharangana nezvokuwa kwaro, vachiti, ‘Uyai, tiparadze rudzi urwo.’ Newewo, iwe Madhimeni uchati mwiro; munondo uchakutevera.

3 Inzwai kuchema kunobva kuHoronaimi, kuchema kwokukoromorwa nokuparadzwa kukuru.

4 Moabhu ichaputswa; vanana vavo vacharidza mhere.

5 Vachakwira nomukwidza weRuhiti, vachichema zvikuru pakuenda kwavo; pamateru enzira yokuHoronaimi kuchema kwokurwadziwa pamusoro pokuparadza kunonzwika.

6 Tizai! Mhanyai noupenyu hwenyu; mufanane negwenzi riri mugwenga.

7 Sezvo muchivimba namabasa uye nepfuma yenyu, nemiwo muchatapwa, uye Kemoshi ichaenda kuutapwa, pamwe chete navaprista namachinda ayo.

8 Muparadzi acharwa namaguta ose ose, uye hapana guta richapukunyuka. Mupata uchaparadzwa, uye mutunhu wakakwirira uchaparadzwa nokuti Jehovha azvitaura.

9 Isai munyu pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuti ichaparadzwa; maguta ayo achava matongo, asina achazogaramo.

10 Ngaatukwe uyo anobata basa raJehovha asina hanya! Ngaatukwe uyo anodzora munondo wake pakuteura ropa!

11 “Moabhu anga ane zororo kubvira pauduku hwake, sewaini yasarira mumasese, isina kudirwa kubva muno mumwe mudziyo ichiiswa muno mumwe, haana kuenda muutapwa. Saka anongotapira sezvaakanga ari, uye kunhuwira kwake hakuna kushanduka.

12 Asi mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichatuma varume vanodurura zvinobva mumudziyo, uye vachadururira pasi; vachasiya midziyo isina chinhu uye vagoputsa midziyo yake.

13 Ipapo Moabhu achanyadziswa neKemoshi, sokunyadziswa kwakaitwa imba yaIsraeri pavakavimba neBheteri.

14 “Ungataura sei, uchiti, ‘Tiri mhare, varume vakatsunga muhondo’?

15 Moabhu ichaparadzwa, uye maguta ayo achapindirwa nechisimba; majaya ake akaisvonaka achaburukira kundourayiwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Mambo, ane zita rinonzi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.

16 “Kuwa kweMoabhu kwava pedyo; njodzi yayo ichasvika nokukurumidza.

17 Ichemei, imi mose mugere makaipoteredza, vose vanoziva mukurumbira wayo; muti, ‘Yavhunika seiko tsvimbo yakasimba, wavhunika seiko mudonzvo wakaisvonaka!’

18 Burukai pakukudzwa kwenyu mugare pavhu rakaoma, imi vagari voMwanasikana weDhibhoni, nokuti iye anoparadza Moabhu achauya kuzokurwisai, uye agoparadza maguta enyu akakomberedzwa.

19 Mirai panzira mutarire, imi vagari vemuAroeri. Bvunzai murume ari kutiza nomukadzi apunyuka, uvabvunze kuti, ‘Chii chaitika?’

20 Moabhu yanyadziswa, nokuti yaparadzwa. Ungudzai uye muridze mhere! Zvizivisei paArinoni kuti Moabhu yaparadzwa.

21 Kutonga kwasvika kumutunhu wakakwirira, kuHoroni, neJahaza neMefaati,

22 KuDhibhoni, neNebho neBheti Dhibhirataimu,

23 kuKiriataimu, neBheti Gamuri neBheti Meoni,

24 kuKerioti neBhozira, nokumaguta ose eMoabhu ari kure naari pedyo.

25 Runyanga rweMoabhu rwagurwa; ruoko rwake rwavhunika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

26 “Itai kuti adhakwe, nokuti iye azvidza Jehovha. Regai Moabhu aumburuke mumarutsi ake; ngaave chinhu chinosekwa.

27 Ko, Israeri haana kuva chinhu chinosekwa nemi here? Ko, akabatwa ari pakati pembavha here, zvamunodzungudza musoro wenyu muchimushora pose pamunotaura nezvake?

28 Siyai maguta enyu mundogara pakati pamatombo, imi mugere muMoabhu. Itai senjiva inovaka dendere rayo pamuromo webako.

29 “Takanzwa nezvokuzvikudza kweMoabhu, manyawi nokudada kwavo kukuru uye kuzvikudza kwakanyanya, kuzvikudza kwavo nokuzvitutumadza namanyawi emwoyo wayo.

30 Ndinoziva kusindimara kwayo asi hakuna maturo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uye kuzvikudza kwake kuzhinji hakuna zvakunoreva.

31 Naizvozvo ndinoungudza pamusoro peMoabhu, nokuda kweMoabhu yose ndinodanidzira, ndinochema varume veKiri Hareseti.

32 Ndinokuchema sokuchema kunoita Jazeri, haiwa imi mazambiringa eGibhima. Matavi enyu akatandavara kundosvika kugungwa; akandosvika kugungwa reJazeri. Muparadzi awira pamichero yako yaibva namazambiringa.

33 Mufaro nokufarisisa zvaenda, zvabva muminda yemichero nomuminda yeMoabhu. Ndagumisa kuyerera kwewaini inobva pazvisviniro; hakuna achazvitsika achidanidzira nomufaro. Kunyange pano kudanidzira, hakusi kudanidzira kwomufaro.

34 “Inzwi rokuchema kwavo rinokwira richibva kuHeshibhoni kusvikira kuErieri neJahazi, kubva kuZoari kusvikira kuHoronaimi neEgirati Sherishiya, nokuti kunyange nemvura dzeNimirimi dzapwa.

35 Ndichaisa magumo muMoabhu, kuna avo vanopa zvipiriso panzvimbo dzakakwirira, uye vanopisira zvinonhuwira kuna vamwari vavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

36 “Saka mwoyo wangu unorira senyere pamusoro peMoabhu; unorira senyere pamusoro pavarume veKiri Hareseti. Pfuma yavakawana yapera.

37 Musoro mumwe nomumwe wakaveurwa, uye ndebvu dzose dzakagurirwa; ruoko rumwe norumwe rwakagurwa, uye zviuno zvose zvakafukidzwa namasaga.

38 Pamusoro pamatenga ose eMoabhu napazvivara hakuna chiriko kunze kwokuchema, nokuti ndaputsa Moabhu sedende risina anorida,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

39 “Akoromorwa sei! Vaungudza sei! Hoyo Moabhu afuratira nokuda kwokunyadziswa! Moabhu ava chinhu chinosekwa, chinhu chinonyangadza kuna vose vakaipoteredza.”

40 Zvanzi naJehovha, “Tarirai achabhururuka segondo, rakatambanudzira mapapiro aro pamusoro peMoabhu.

41 Kerioti ichatapwa uye nhare dzichatorwa. Pazuva iro mwoyo yemhare dzeMoabhu ichafanana nomwoyo womukadzi ari kurwadziwa.

42 Moabhu ichaparadzwa serudzi nokuti yakazvidza Jehovha.

43 Kutya negomba nomusungo zvakakumirirai, imi vanhu veMoabhu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

44 “Ani naani achatiza njodzi iyi achawira mugomba, ani naani achakwira achibuda mugomba, achabatwa mumusungo; nokuti ndichauyisa pamusoro peMoabhu gore rokurangwa kwake,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

45 “Mumumvuri weHeshibhoni vatizi vanomirapo vasina simba, nokuti moto wabuda uchibva kuHeshibhoni, murazvo pakati peSihoni; unopisa huma dzaMoabhu, misoro yavanozvikudza vemheremhere.

46 Une nhamo, iwe Moabhu! Vanhu veKemoshi vaparara; vanakomana vako vakaendeswa kuutapwa navanasikana vako muutapwa.

47 “Kunyange zvakadaro ndichadzosazve pfuma yeMoabhu pamazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Pano ndipo panogumira kutongwa kweMoabhu.
