Muranda waJehovha
1 Ndinzwei, imi zviwi;
inzwai izvi, imi ndudzi dziri kure;
Jehovha akandidana ndisati ndaberekwa;
kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu akataura zita rangu.
2 Akaita muromo wangu somunondo unopinza,
akandiviga mumumvuri wechanza chake;
akandiita museve unopenya,
akandiviga mugomba rake.
3 Akati kwandiri, “Ndiwe muranda wangu,
Israeri, wandicharatidza kubwinya kwangu maari.”
4 Asi ndakati, “Ndakashandira pasina,
ndapedza simba rangu pane zvisina maturo uye pasina.
Nyamba zvakandifanira ini zviri muruoko rwaJehovha,
uye mubayiro wangu uri kuna Mwari.”
5 Zvino Jehovha anoti,
iye akandiumba ndiri muchizvaro kuti ndive muranda wake,
kuti ndidzorere Jakobho kwaari
uye kuti Israeri vaunganidzwezve kwaari,
nokuti ndinokudzwa pamberi paJehovha,
uye Mwari wangu ndiye anga ari simba rangu,
6 iye anoti:
“Chinhu chiduku kwazvo kuti iwe uve muranda wangu,
anomutsazve marudzi aJakobho
uye achadzosa avo vaIsraeri vandakachengeta.
Uyezve ndichakuita chiedza chevedzimwe ndudzi,
kuti uuyise ruponeso rwangu kumigumo yenyika.”
7 Zvanzi naJehovha,
Mudzikinuri noMutsvene waIsraeri,
kuna iye akanga azvidzwa uye akasemwa norudzi,
kumuranda wavatongi:
“Madzimambo achakuona agosimuka,
machinda achaona agokotamira pasi,
nokuda kwaJehovha akatendeka,
Mutsvene waIsraeri, akakusarudza.”
Israeri Inomutsiridzwa
8 Zvanzi naJehovha:
“Munguva yangu yakafanira, ndichakupindura,
uye pazuva roruponeso ndichakubatsira;
ndichakuchengeta uye ndichakuita
kuti uve sungano yavanhu,
kuti uvandudze nyika
uye uvagarise patsva nhaka yakaparara,
9 kuti uti kunhapwa, ‘Budai,’
nokuna avo vari murima, ‘Uyai muchiedza!’
“Vachadya zvokudya parutivi rwenzira,
uye vachawana mafuro pazvikomo zvose zvisina zvibereko.
10 Havangavi nenzara kana nyota,
havangabayiwi nokupisa kwegwenga, kana nokupisa kwezuva.
Iye anovanzwira tsitsi achavatungamirira,
uye achavafambisa napazvitubu zvemvura.
11 Ndichashandura makomo angu ose kuti ave migwagwa,
uye migwagwa yangu mikuru ichasimudzirwa.
12 Tarirai vachauya vachibva kure:
vamwe vachibva nechokumusoro, vamwe nechokumavirazuva,
vamwe nokurutivi rweAsiwani.”
13 Imbai, imi matenga,
pembera iwe nyika;
imbai rwiyo imi makomo!
Nokuti Jehovha anonyaradza vanhu vake,
uye achava netsitsi navanhu vake vanotambudzika.
14 Asi Zioni rakati, “Jehovha akandisiya,
Jehovha akandikanganwa.”
15 “Ko, mai vangakanganwa mucheche anonwa ari pachipfuva chavo,
uye vangasanzwira tsitsi mwana wavakazvara here?
Kunyange hazvo ivo vakakanganwa,
ini handizokukanganwi!
16 Tarira, ndakakunyora pazvanza zvamaoko angu;
madziro ako anogara ari mberi kwangu.
17 Vanakomana vako vanokurumidza kudzoka shure,
uye vose vaikuparadza vachabva kwauri.
18 Simudza meso ako utarise kwose kwose;
vanakomana vako vose vanoungana vachiuya kwauri.
Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “uchavafuka vose sezvishongo:
uchavapfeka, somwenga.
19 “Kunyange wakaparadzwa ukaitwa dongo,
uye nyika yako yakasiyiwa yava dongo,
zvino vanhu vako havachakwani mauri,
uye vose vaikumedza vachava kure.
20 Vana vakaberekwa panguva yokufirwa kwako
vachatizve munzeve dzako,
‘Nzvimbo iyi yava diki kwatiri:
tipeiwo nzvimbo yakatambanuka yatingagara.’
21 Ipapo uchati mumwoyo mako,
‘Ndianiko akandiberekera ava?
Ndakanga ndafirwa uye ndisina mwana;
ndakanga ndadzingwa uye ndarambwa.
Ndianiko akarera ava?
Ndakasiyiwa ndiri ndoga,
asi ava, vabvepiko?’ ”
22 Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha,
“Tarira ndichasimudza ruoko rwangu kune veDzimwe Ndudzi,
ndichasimudzira mureza wangu kumarudzi;
vachauya navanakomana vako vari mumaoko avo,
uye vachatakura vanasikana vako pamapfudzi avo.
23 Madzimambo achava madzibaba anokurerai,
uye vanamambokadzi vavo vachava vanamai vanokurerai.
Vachakupfugamirai uso hwavo hwakatsikitsira pasi,
vachananzva guruva patsoka dzenyu.
Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha;
vanovimba neni havachazonyadziswi.”
24 Ko, mhare ingapambwa here,
kana vatapwa vanganunurwa kubva kune anotyisa here?
25 Asi zvanzi naJehovha,
“Hongu vatapwa vachatorwa kubva kumhare,
uye zvakapambwa kubva kune anotyisa;
ndicharwa nevanorwa newe,
uye vana vako ndichavaponesa.
26 Ndichaita kuti vamanikidzi vako vadye nyama yavo;
vachadhakwa neropa ravo, sevadhakwa newaini.
Ipapo vanhu vose vachaziva kuti ini Jehovha,
ndini Muponesi wako,
Mudzikinuri wako, Wamasimba Ose waJakobho.”
