Kuungudza kwaJeremia 1

¹Ko, muguta zvamusisina vanhu, iro rakanga rizere navanhu! Zvarangova sechirikadzi, iro rakanga riri guru pakati pendudzi! Iro rakanga riri mambokadzi pakati penyika, zvino rava nhapwa.

²Rinochema zvikuru usiku, misodzi iri pamatama aro. Pakati pavadiwa varo vose hakuna anorivaraidza. Shamwari dzaro dzose dzarimukira; dzava vavengi varo.

³Shure kwokutambudzika nokushanda zvakaomarara, Judha akaenda kuutapwa. Anogara pakati pendudzi; haawani nzvimbo yokuzorora. Vose vaimudzinganisa vakamubata ari pakati pokutambudzika kwake.

⁴Nzira dzinoenda kuZioni dzinochema, nokuti hakuna anouya kumitambo yaro yakatarwa. Masuo aro ose haasisina vanhu, vaprista varo vanogomera, varandakadzi varo vanochema, uye iro riri pakurwadziwa kukuru.

⁵Vavengi varo ndivo vava vatongi varo; vavengi varo vagere zvakanaka, Jehovha akarivigira kutambudzika nokuda kwezvivi zvaro zvizhinji. Vana varo vakaenda kuutapwa, vava nhapwa pamberi pavavengi.

⁶Kuyevedza kwose kwabva paMwanasikana weZioni. Machinda aro aita senondo dzashayiwa mafuro. Mukushayiwa simba vakatiza pamberi peanovadzinganisa.

⁷Mumazuva okutambudzika nokudzungaira kwaro, Jerusarema rinorangarira pfuma yose yakanga iri yaro pamazuva akare. Pakawira vanhu varo mumaoko omuvengi, rakashaya anoribatsira. Vavengi varo vakaritarisa, vakariseka pakuparadzwa kwaro.

⁸Jerusarema rakatadza zvikuru kwazvo, naizvozvo rasvibiswa. Vose vairikudza vorizvidza, nokuti vakaona kushama kwaro; iro pacharo rinogomera, richidzokera shure.

⁹Tsvina yaro yakanamatira panguo dzaro; harina kurangarira ramangwana raro. Kuwa kwaro kwakashamisa; hakuna akarinyaradza. “Haiwa Jehovha, tarirai kurwadziwa kwangu, nokuti muvengi akunda.”

¹⁰Muvengi akatora pfuma yaro yose; rakaona ndudzi dzechihedheni dzichipinda panzvimbo yaro tsvene, avo vamakanga madzivisa kupinda paungano yenyu.

¹¹Vanhu varo vose vanogomera pavanotsvaka chingwa; vanotsinhanisa pfuma yavo nezvokudya kuti vazviraramise. “Tarirai, imi Jehovha, uye murangarire, nokuti ndava munhu akazvidzwa.”

¹²“Hamuna hanya here, imi mose munopfuura? Tarirai pose pose muone. Pano kutambudzika sokutambudzika kwangu here, kwakaiswa pamusoro pangu, kwakauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pangu pazuva rokutsamwa kwake kunotyisa?

¹³“Akatuma moto kubva kumusoro-soro, akautumira mumapfupa angu. Akateya makumbo angu nomumbure uye akandidzosera shure. Akandisiya ndisina chinhu, ndikapera simba zuva rose.

¹⁴“Zvivi zvangu zvasungwa zvikaitwa joko; namaoko ake zvakarukirwa pamwe chete, zvauya pamutsipa wangu uye Ishe apedza simba rangu. Akandiisa mumaoko avanhu vandisingagoni kukunda.

¹⁵“Ishe akaramba mhare dzose dziri pakati pangu; akakokera hondo kuzondirwisa kuzopwanya majaya angu. Ishe akatsika-tsika Mhandara Mwanasikana waJudha muchisviniro chake chewaini.

¹⁶“Ndokusaka ndichichema uye maziso angu achierera misodzi. Hapana ari pedyo kuti andinyaradze, hakuna anovandudza mweya wangu. Vana vangu vari kutambudzika nokuti muvengi akunda.”

¹⁷Zioni rinotambanudza maoko aro, asi hakuna munhu anorinyaradza. Jehovha akaisa chirevo pamusoro paJakobho, kuti vavakidzani vake vave vavengi vake; Jerusarema rava chinhu chisina kunatswa pakati pavo.

¹⁸“Jehovha akarurama, asi ini ndakamukira murayiro wake. Inzwai, imi vanhu mose; onai kutambudzika kwangu. Majaya angu navarandakadzi vangu vakaenda kuutapwa.

¹⁹“Ndakadana kushamwari dzangu asi vakandipandukira. Vaprista vangu navakuru vangu vakafira muguta, pavakanga vachitsvaka zvokudya kuti vazviraramise.

²⁰“Tarirai, imi Jehovha kutambudzika kwangu! Ndiri kurwadziwa mukati mangu, uye ndakakanganisika mumwoyo mangu, nokuti ndakakumukirai zvikuru. Kunze, munondo unondiurayira hama; mukati, munongova norufu.

²¹“Vanhu vakanzwa kugomera kwangu, asi hakuna anondinyaradza. Vavengi vangu vose vakanzwa kutambura kwangu; vanofara nezvamakaita. Dai mauyisa henyu zuva ramakazivisa kuti vagofanana nemi.

²²“Zvakaipa zvavo zvose ngazviuye pamberi penyu; muvaitire sezvamakaita kwandiri nokuda kwezvivi zvangu zvose. Kugomera kwangu kwawanda, uye mwoyo wangu wapera simba.”
