3 Zvino usiku ihwohwo shoko+ raMwari rakauya kuna Natani, richiti:
4 “Enda uti kumushumiri wangu Dhavhidhi, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “Hausi iwe uchandivakira imba yokuti ndigare.+
5 Nokuti handina kugara mumba kubvira pazuva randakabudisa Israeri kusvikira nhasi,+ asi ndaingoramba ndichibva mune rimwe tende ndichienda mune rimwe tende uye ndichibva mune imwe tebhenekeri+ ndichienda mune imwe.+
6 Munguva yose yandakafamba-famba+ pakati pevaIsraeri vose, ndakambotaura shoko rimwe chete here nomumwe wevatongi vaIsraeri vandakarayira kuti vafudze vanhu vangu, ndichiti, ‘Nei musina kundivakira imba yemisidhari?’”’+
7 “Zvino unoti kumushumiri wangu Dhavhidhi, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha wemauto: “Ini ndakakutora kumafuro kwawaifudza makwai+ kuti uve mutungamiriri+ wevanhu vangu vaIsraeri.
8 Ndichava newe kwose kwaunofamba,+ ndichaparadza vavengi vako vose+ pamberi pako, uye ndichakuitira zita+ rakafanana nezita revakuru vari panyika.+
9 Ndichagadzirira vanhu vangu vaIsraeri nzvimbo, ndovadyara,+ uye chokwadi vachagara munzvimbo dzavo dzavari, havazonetswizve; uye vanakomana vokusarurama+ havazovaparadzizve, sezvavakaita pakutanga,+
10 kunyange kubvira pamazuva andakagadza vatongi+ kuti vatarisire vanhu vangu vaIsraeri. Ndichaninipisa vavengi vako vose.+ Ndinokuudza, ‘Jehovha achakuvakirawo imba.’+
11 “‘“Zvino kana mazuva ako akwana, okuti uende, uve pamwe chete nemadzitateguru ako,+ ndichamutsa mwana wako anokutevera, uyo achava mumwe wevanakomana vako,+ uye ndichasimbisa kwazvo umambo hwake.+
12 Ndiye achandivakira imba,+ uye ndichasimbisa kwazvo chigaro chake choumambo nokusingagumi.+
13 Ini ndichava baba vake,+ iye achava mwanakomana wangu;+ uye handizobvisi mutsa wangu worudo kwaari+ semabvisiro andakauita kune akakutangira.+
14 Ndichaita kuti arambe ari mumba mangu+ nomuumambo hwangu+ nokusingagumi, uye chigaro chake choumambo+ chichagara nokusingagumi.”’”

16 Pashure paizvozvo Mambo Dhavhidhi akapinda, akagara pasi pamberi paJehovha,+ akati: “Haiwa Jehovha Mwari, ndini ani,+ uye imba yangu chii+ zvamandisvitsa pano?+
17 Sokunge ichi chinhu chiduku kwamuri,+ haiwa Mwari,+ imi muri kutaura pamusoro peimba yomushumiri wenyu kusvikira kunguva yemberi iri kure,+ uye mandiona somunhu anoramba achikwidziridzwa,+ haiwa Jehovha Mwari.
18 Dhavhidhi angatiizve kwamuri pamusoro pokukudzwa kwomushumiri wenyu,+ zvamunonyatsoziva mushumiri wenyu?+
19 Haiwa Jehovha, makaita zvinhu zvikuru zvose izvi nokuita kuti zvinhu zvikuru zvose zvakaitwa zvizivikanwe+ nokuda kwomushumiri wenyu uye sezvaidiwa nomwoyo wenyu.+
20 Haiwa Jehovha, hakuna akaita semi,+ uye hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwenyu+ maererano nezvose zvatakanzwa nezvazvo nenzeve dzedu.
21 Ndorupi rumwe rudzi panyika rwakafanana nevanhu venyu vaIsraeri,+ vakadzikinurwa naMwari wechokwadi kuti vave rudzi rwake,+ kuti muzviitire zita rakakurumbira rezvinhu zvikuru zvakaitwa+ nezvinhu zvinotyisa nokudzinga marudzi+ pamberi pevanhu venyu vamakadzikinura muIjipiti?
22 Makaita kuti vanhu venyu vaIsraeri vave vanhu venyu+ nokusingagumi, uye imi, haiwa Jehovha, makava Mwari wavo.+
23 Zvino, haiwa Jehovha, itai kuti shoko ramataura pamusoro pomushumiri wenyu uye pamusoro peimba yake rive rakatendeka nokusingagumi, uye itai sezvamataura.
24 Zita renyu+ ngarive rakatendeka uye rive guru+ nokusingagumi, muchiti, ‘Jehovha wemauto,+ Mwari waIsraeri,+ ndiMwari waIsraeri,’+ uye imba yomushumiri wenyu Dhavhidhi ngairambe iri pamberi penyu.+
25 Nokuti imi, Mwari wangu, mazivisa mushumiri wenyu chinangwa chokumuvakira imba.+ Ndokusaka mushumiri wenyu awana nguva yokunyengetera pamberi penyu.
26 Zvino, haiwa Jehovha, ndimi Mwari wechokwadi,+ uye ndimi muri kupikira mushumiri wenyu zvinhu izvi zvakanaka.+
27 Zvino chikomborerai henyu imba yomushumiri wenyu kuti irambe iri pamberi penyu nokusingagumi;+ nokuti, haiwa Jehovha, makomborera, uye yakomborerwa nokusingagumi.”+
