4 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, ‘Tarira ndiri kukuita chinhu chinotyisa kwauri nokuna vose vanokuda, ivo vachaurayiwa nebakatwa revavengi+ vavo maziso ako akatarira;+ ndichaisa vaJudha vose muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi, uye iye achavatapa achivaendesa kuBhabhironi ovauraya nebakatwa.+
5 Ndichaisa zvinhu zvose zvakachengetwa zveguta rino nezvibereko zvaro zvose nezvinhu zvaro zvose zvinokosha; uye pfuma yose yemadzimambo aJudha, ndichaiisa muruoko rwevavengi vavo.+ Vachazvipamba, vozvitora, voenda nazvo kuBhabhironi.+
6 Asi iwe, haiwa Pashuri, nevagari vose vomuimba yako, muchatapwa;+ muchasvika kuBhabhironi, uchafira ikoko uye uchavigwa ikoko pamwe chete nevanokuda vose,+ nokuti wakaprofita nhema kwavari.’”+
7 Makandinyengedza, haiwa Jehovha, zvokuti ndakanyengedzwa. Makashandisa simba renyu kundirwisa, zvokuti makakunda.+ Ndakava chinhu chinosekwa zuva rose; munhu wose ari kundinyomba.+

9 Ndakati: “Handisi kuzotaura nezvake, uye handisi kuzotaurazve nezita rake.”+ Asi mumwoyo mangu zvakava somoto unobvira wakavharirwa mumapfupa angu; ndakaneta nokuramba ndakanyarara, uye handina kukwanisa kuzvitsungirira.+
10 Nokuti ndakanzwa mashoko akaipa evazhinji.+ Kwaiva nezvinhu zvinotyisa kumativi ose. “Pomerai, kuti timupomere.”+ Vanhu vose vanonditi “Rugare!”—vari kutarira kukamhina kwangu+ vachiti: “Zvichida achanyengedzwa,+ kuti timukunde, timutsive.”
11 Asi Jehovha akanga aineni+ somunhu ane simba anotyisa kwazvo.+ Ndokusaka vaya vari kunditambudza vachagumburwa vakasakunda.+ Vachanyadziswa kwazvo, nokuti vachange vasina kubudirira. Kunyadziswa kwavo kunogara nokusingagumi kuchava kuya kusingazokanganwiki.+
12 Asi imi, haiwa Jehovha wemauto, munoongorora munhu akarurama;+ munoona itsvo nomwoyo.+ Regai ndione kuvatsiva kwenyu,+ nokuti ndazivisa mhosva yangu kwamuri.+
13 Imbirai Jehovha! Rumbidzai Jehovha! Nokuti akanunura mweya womurombo paruoko rwevanoita zvakaipa.+
14 Zuva randakaberekwa ngaritukwe! Zuva randakaberekwa naamai vangu ngarirege kukomborerwa!+
15 Munhu akaunzira baba vangu mashoko akanaka, achiti: “Maberekerwa mwanakomana, munhurume!” ngaatukwe. Chokwadi iye akaita kuti vafare.+
16 Munhu iyeye ngaave semaguta akaparadzwa naJehovha asi Iye akasambozvidemba.+ Achanzwa kushevedzera mangwanani uye chiratidzo chokunyevera panguva yemasikati.+
17 Nei asina kundiuraya ndichiri muchibereko, kuti amai vangu vave guva rangu uye chibereko chavo chive nomwana nokusingagumi?+
18 Ndakabudirei muchibereko+ kuti ndione basa rakaoma nokushungurudzwa+ uye kuti mazuva angu agumire munyadzi?+
