11 Baba vangu vakaisa joko rinorema pamusoro penyu; ini ndichaita kuti rireme kupfuura zvariri. Baba vangu vakakurovai nezvamboko; ini ndichakurovai nezvinyavada.’ ”

Saka vaIsraeri vakaenda kumisha yavo.

20 VaIsraeri vose pavakanzwa kuti Rehobhoamu akanga adzoka, vakatuma nhume kuti iuye kwakanga kwakaungana vanhu, vakabva vamuita mambo weIsraeri yose. Rudzi rwaJudha chete ndirwo rwakaramba ruchishandira imba yaDhavhidhi.

21 Rehobhoamu paakasvika muJerusarema, akaunganidza imba yose yaJudha norudzi rwaBenjamini, varume vehondo vaikwana zviuru zana namakumi masere, kuti varwe neimba yaIsraeri uye vadzosere umambo kuna Rehobhoamu mwanakomana waSoromoni.

22 Asi shoko raMwari rakasvika kuna Shemaya munhu waMwari richiti,

24 ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Musakwira kumusoro kundorwa nehama dzenyu, vaIsraeri. Endai kumisha yenyu mumwe nomumwe wenyu, nokuti ndini ndaita izvi.’ ” Naizvozvo vakateerera shoko raJehovha vakaenda kumisha yavo zvakare, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naJehovha.

Zvimhuru zvegoridhe paBheteri nepaDhani

25 Ipapo Jerobhoamu akavaka Shekemu munyika yamakomo yaEfuremu akagarako. Achibvako akaenda akandovaka Penueri.

26 Jerobhoamu akafunga akati, “Zvino umambo huchagona kudzokera kuimba yaDhavhidhi.

27 Kana vanhu ava vakakwira kumusoro kundobayira zvibayiro kutemberi yaJehovha muJerusarema, vachazozvipira zvakare kuna ishe wavo, Rehobhoamu. Vachandiuraya vagodzokera kuna Mambo Rehobhoamu.”

28 Mushure mokubvunza vamwe, mambo akaumba zvimhuru zvegoridhe zviviri. Akati kuvanhu, “Zviri kukuremerai kukwira kumusoro kuJerusarema. VaIsraeri, ava ndivo vamwari venyu vakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti.”

29 Akaisa imwe paBheteri, neimwe paDhani.

30 Zvino chinhu ichi chakava chivi; vanhu vaifamba zvokutosvika kuDhani kundonamata chaiva ikoko.

31 Jerobhoamu akavaka dzimba panzvimbo dzakakwirira akatora vanhu vose vose akavaita vaprista, kunyange vaisava vaRevhi.

32 Akatangisa mutambo wezuva regumi namashanu romwedzi worusere, wakafanana nomutambo wokuJudha, akabayira zvibayiro paaritari. Izvi akazviita muBheteri, akabayira kumhuru dzaakanga agadzira, uye paBheteri akagadzawo vaprista panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzaakanga aita.

33 Nomusi wegumi neshanu womwedzi worusere, mwedzi waakanga angosarudzawo, akabayira zvibayiro paaritari yaakanga avaka paBheteri. Saizvozvo akatangisa mutambo wavaIsraeri akaenda kuaritari kundopisa zvinonhuwira.

Munhu waMwari aibva kuJudha

2 Akadanidzira kuaritari akati, “Iwe aritari, aritari! Zvanzi naJehovha, ‘Mwanakomana anonzi Josia achaberekwa muimba yaDhavhidhi. Vaprista vamatunhu akakwirira vari kupisira zvinonhuwira pano zvino, achavabayira pamusoro pako, uye mapfupa avanhu achapiswa pamusoro pako.’ ”

3 Musi mumwe chete iwoyo munhu waMwari akapa chiratidzo akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chataurwa naJehovha: Aritari ichatsemuka uye madota ari pamusoro payo acharasirwa pasi.”

4 Zvino Mambo Jerobhoamu paakanzwa zvakanga zvadanidzirwa nomunhu waMwari kuaritari paBheteri, akatambanudza ruoko rwake ruchibva kuaritari akati, “Mubatei!” Asi ruoko rwaakatambanudzira kumurume uyu rwakaoma, zvokuti akatadza kurudzosa zvakare.

5 Aritariwo yakatsemuka uye madota ayo akarasikira pasi zvichienderana nechiratidzo chakanga chapiwa nomunhu waMwari nokuda kweshoko raJehovha.

6 Ipapo mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Ndinamatirewo kuna Jehovha Mwari wako uchindinamatira kuti ruoko rwangu ruporeswe.” Naizvozvo munhu waMwari akamunamatira kuna Jehovha ruoko rwamambo rukaporeswa rukaita sezvarwakanga rwakaita pakutanga.

7 Mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Handei kumba kwangu undowana zvaungadya, uye ndichakupa chipo.”

8 Asi munhu waMwari akapindura mambo akati, “Kunyange maindipa hafu yezvose zvamunazvo, handaimboenda nemi, uye handaimbodya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kuno.

9 Nokuti ndakarayirwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kana kudzoka nenzira yawabva nayo.’ ”

10 Saka akaenda neimwe nzira uye haana kudzokera nenzira yaakanga auya nayo kuBheteri.

11 Zvino paiva nomumwe muprofita akanga ava harahwa aigara muBheteri, vana vake vakauya vakamuudza zvose zvakanga zvaitwa nomunhu waMwari musi iwoyo muBheteri. Vakaudzawo baba vavo zvaakanga ataura kuna mambo.

13 Saka akati kuvana vake, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro.” Zvino vakati vamusungirira chigaro pambongoro, akaitasva.

14 Akatevera munhu waMwari. Akamuwana agere pasi pomuti womuouki akamubvunza akati, “Ndiwe here munhu waMwari akabva kuJudha?”

Akapindura akati, “Ndini.”

15 Ipapo muprofita akati kwaari, “Handei kumba kwangu undodya.”

16 Munhu waMwari akati, “Handigoni kudzoka nemi, zvakare handigoni kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura nemi panzvimbo ino.

17 Ndakaudzwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura ikoko kana kudzoka nenzira yaunenge wauya nayo.’ ”

18 Muprofita akanga ava harahwa akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndiri muprofita sezvawakaita. Zvino mutumwa ati kwandiri neshoko raJehovha, ‘Dzoka naye kumba kwako kuitira kuti adye chingwa uye anwe mvura.’ ” Asi akanga achimunyepera.

19 Saka munhu waMwari akadzokera naye akandodya uye akanwa mumba make.

20 Zvavakanga vachakagara patafura, shoko raJehovha rakauya kumuprofita akanga ava harahwa uyo akanga amudzosa.

21 Akadanidzira kumunhu waMwari akanga abva kuJudha akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha, ‘Hauna kuteerera shoko raJehovha uye hauna kuchengeta murayiro wawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

22 Wadzoka ukadya chingwa uye ukanwa mvura munzvimbo yaakakuudza kuti usadya kana kunwa. Naizvozvo mutumbi wako hausi kuzovigwa muguva ramadzibaba ako.’ ”

23 Munhu waMwari paakapedza kudya nokunwa, muprofita akanga amudzosa akamusungirira chigaro pambongoro.

24 Akati ava munzira, shumba yakasangana naye panzira, ikamuuraya, mutumbi wake ukakandwa munzira, mbongoro neshumba zvikamira pauri.

25 Vamwe vanhu vaipfuura nepo vakaona mutumbi uyu wakakandwa panzira, shumba yakamira parutivi pomutumbi, uye vakaenda vakandozvitaura muguta maigara muprofita akanga ava harahwa.

26 Muprofita akanga amudzosa parwendo rwake paakazvinzwa, akati, “Ndiye munhu waMwari asina kuteerera shoko raJehovha. Jehovha amupa kushumba, iyo yamubvambura nokumuuraya, sokumuyambira kwakanga kwaita shoko raJehovha.”

27 Muprofita akati kuvanakomana vake, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro,” ivo vakaita saizvozvo.

28 Ipapo akaenda akandoona mutumbi wakakandwa panzira, mbongoro neshumba zvakamira parutivi pawo. Shumba yakanga isina kudya mutumbi kana kubvambura mbongoro.

29 Saka muprofita akasimudza mutumbi womunhu waMwari, akauisa pamusoro pembongoro akadzoka nawo kuguta rake kuti andomuchema uye amuvige.

30 Akaisa mutumbi wake muguva rake, vakamuchema vakati, “Yowe-e, hama yangu!”

31 Mushure mokumuviga, akati kuvanakomana vake, “Kana ndafa, mundivige muguva mataviga munhu waMwari; muise mapfupa angu parutivi peake.

32 Nokuti zvaakataura neshoko raJehovha pamusoro pearitari iri muBheteri napamusoro pedzimba dzose dziri panzvimbo dzakakwirira mumaguta eSamaria zvichaitika saizvozvo.”
