Ndiko kuwanda kwavarume vane simba vaiva naDhavhidhi: Joshobhiyami mwanakomana wokuHakimoni, mukuru wavana makumi matatu; iye akasimudza pfumo rake akarwa navana mazana matatu, akavauraya nenguva imwe.

Akamutevera akanga ari Eriazari, mwanakomana waDhodho muAhohi, mumwe wavarume vatatu vaiva nesimba.

Iye akanga ana Dhavhidhi paPasidhamini; vaFirisitia vakanga vaunganapo kuzorwa pabindu rakanga rizere nebhari; vanhu vakatiza pamberi pavaFirisitia.

Pakati pavatatu ndiye wakanga ane mbiri kukunda vamwe vaviri, akava mukuru wavo; asi haana kuenzana navatatu vokutanga.

Navamwe vana vaBhenjamini navaJudha vakaendawo kuna Dhavhidhi munhare.

Dhavhidhi akabuda akasangana navo, akapindura, akati kwavari, Kana mauya kwandiri norugare kuzondibatsira, moyo wangu uchava nemi; asi kana mauya kuzondinyengera, kundiisa kuvadzivisi vangu, kunyange ndisine zvakaipa pamaoko angu, Mwari wamadzibaba edu ngaazvione, akutukei pamusoro pazvo.

Ipapo mweya wakauya pamusuro paAmasai aiva mukuru wavana makumi matatu, akati, Tiri vanhu venyu, Dhavhidhi, tiri kurutivi rwenyu, mwanakomana waJese! Rugare, rugare ngaruve nemi, rugare ngaruve navabatsiri venyu; nokuti Mwari wenyu anokubatsirai. Ipapo Dhavhidhi akavagamuchira, akavaita vakuru veboka.

KwaManasewo vakabva vamwe, vakaenda kuna Dhavhidhi, nguva yaakaenda navaFirisitia kundorwa naSauro, asi havana kuvabatsira; nokuti madzishe avaFirisitia akarangana, akamudzosa, achiti, Achatinyengera, achienda kunatenzi wake Sauro, misoro yedu ikava panjodzi.

Zvino wakati achienda Zikiragi, vamwe vaManase vakabva, vakasvika kwaari, vaiti, Adhana, naJozabhadhi, naJedhiaeri, naMikaeri, naJozabhadhi, naErihu, naZiretai, vakanga vari vakuru vechiuru chamazana pakati paManase.

Ndiko kuwanda kwavakuru vakashongera kurwa, vakaenda kuna Dhavhidhi paHebhuroni, kuzodzosera ushe hwaSauro kwaari, sezvakarehwa naJehovha.

Vana vaJudha, vakanga vakashonga nhovo nepfumo, vaiva nezviuru zvitanhatu namazana masere, vakanga vakashongera kurwa.

Jehoyadha aiva mutungamiriri weimba yaAroni; vakanga vanaye vaiva nezviuru zvitatu namazana manomwe;

Kuhafu yorudzi rwaManase, zviuru zvine gumi nezvisere, vakanga vakanyorwa mazita avo, vakasvika kuzoita Dhavhidhi mambo.

Kuvana vaIsakari, varume vaiziva nguva zvakanaka, uye kuti vaIsiraeri vanofanira kuitei, vakuru vavo vaiva mazana maviri; hama dzavo dzose dzairairwa navo.

KuvaZebhuruni, avo vaigona kufamba namapoka, nokugona kurongedza hondo, vakabata nhumbi dzose dzokurwa nadzo, vaiva nezviuru zvina makumi mashanu; vaigona kurwa vasine moyo miviri.

Uye mhiri kwaJorodhani, kuvaRubheni navaGadhi nehafu yorudzi rwaManase, avo vaiva nenhumbi dzose dzokurwa nadzo, zviuru zvina makumi maviri.

Ava vose, varume vehondo, vaigona kurongedza hondo, vakasvika paHebhuroni nemoyo yakarurama kwazvo, kuzoita Dhavhidhi mambo wavaIsiraeri vose; navaIsiraeri vamwe vose vakanga vanomoyo mumwe kuita Dhavhidhi mambo.

Vakagarapo naDhavhidhi mazuva matatu, vakadya nokunwa, nokuti hama dzavo dzakanga dzavagadzirira.

Uye vamwe vakanga vagere pedo navo kusvikira kwalsakari naZebhuruni naNafutari, vakauya nezvokudya zvakatakurwa nembongoro, namakamera, namahesera, nenzombe, zviri zvokudya zvoupfu, namapundu amaonde, anamasumbu amazambiringa akaoma, newaini, namafuta, nenzombe, namakwai mazhinji, nokuti mufaro wakanga uripo pakati palsiraeri.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akarangana navakuru vechiuru chamazana navamazana, navatungamiriri vose,

Dhavhidhi akati kuungano yose yaIsiraeri, Kana imi muchiti zvakanaka, uye kana zvichibva kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, ngatitume shoko kwose kuhama dzedu dzakasara munyika yose yalsiraeri, nokuvapirisiti navaRevhi vari mumaguta avo anamafuro, kuti vaungane nesu;

Ungano yose ikatenda kuzviita; nokuti vanhu vose vakati zvakanaka.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akaunganidza vaIsiraeri vose, kubva paShihori irwo rukova rweIjipiti, kusvikira pavanopinda paHamati, kuti vatore areka yaMwari paKiriatijearimi.

Dhavhidhi akakwira, iye navaIsiraeri vose, vakaenda Bhaara, ndiro Kiriatijearimi raiva raJudha, kuzotorapo areka yaMwari, iye Jehovha agere pamusoro pamakerubhi, pavanonamata Zita rake.

Vakatakura areka yaMwari pangoro itsva, vakaibvisa paimba yaAbhinadhabhu; Uza naAhio vakafambisa ngoro.

Dhavhidhi navaIsiraeri vose vakatamba pamberi paMwari nesimba ravo rose nenziyo, nembira, nemitengerangwa, nengoma, namakandira, nehwamanda.

Zvino vakati vachisvika paburiro raKidhoni, Uza akatambanudza ruoko rwake kuti abate areka, nokuti nzombe dzakanga dzogumburwa.

Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukamukira Uza, akamuuraya, nokuti akatambanudza ruoko rwake kuti abate areka; akafirapo pamberi paMwari.

Ipapo Dhavhidhi akaora moyo nokuti Jehovha akarova Uza; akatumidza nzvimbo iyo zita rinonzi Pereziuza kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

Dhavhidhi akatya Mwari nomusi uyo, akati, Ndingaisa areka yaMwari kumusha kwangu seiko?

Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi haana kuisa areka yaMwari kumusha kwaDhavhidhi, asi akaitsausira kumba kwaObhedhi-Edhomu muGiti.

Areka yaMwari ikagara pamhuri yaObhedhi-Edhomu mumba make mwedzi mitatu; Jehovha akaropafadza imba yaObhedhi-Edhomu nezvose zvaakanga anazvo.

Zvino Hirami mambo weTiro akatuma nhume kuna Dhavhidhi, namatanda emisidhari, navavaki, navavezi, kuti vamuvakire imba.

Dhavhidhi akaona kuti Jehovha akamusimbisa kuti ave mambo waIsiraeri, nokuti ushe hwake hwakanga hwakudzwa kwazvo nokuda kwavanhu vake Isiraeri.

Dhavhidhi akazvitorerazve vamwe vakadzi paJerusaremu, Dhavhidhi akabereka vamwe vanakomana navanasikana.

Zvino ndiwo mazita avana vaakanga anavo paJerusaremu: Shamua, naShobhabhi, naNatani, naSoromoni;

Zvino vaFirisitia vakati vanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi azodzwa kuti ave mambo wavaIsiraeri vose, vaFirisitia vose vakakwira kundotsvaka Dhavhidhi; Dhavhidhi akazvinzwa, akabuda kuzorwa navo.

Zvino vaFirisitia vakanga vasvika, vakapararira pamupata weRefaimu.

Dhavhidhi akabvunza Jehovha, akati, Ndokwira kundorwa navaFirisitia here? Muchavaisa mumaoko angu here? Jehovha akati kuna Dhavhidhi, Kwira, nokuti ndichavaisa mumaoko ako.

Vakasvika paBhaariperazimi, Dhavhidhi akavaparadzapo; Dhavhidhi akati, Mwari akapwanya vavengi vangu noruoko rwangu, sokupwanya kwemvura. Naizvozvo vakatumidza nzvimbo iyo Bhaariperazimi.

VaFirisitia vakasiya vamwari vavopo, Dhavhidhi akaraira, vakavapisa nomoto.

VaFirisitia vakapararirazve pamupata uyo.

Ipapo Dhavhidhi akabvunza Mwari zve; Mwari akati kwaari, Usandovatevera; tsauka ubve kwavari, ugovavamba pakatarisana nemiti yemibharisami.

Zvino kana uchinzwa kutinhira kwokufamba pamisoro yemiti yemibharisami, ipapo unofanira kundorwa; nokuti Mwari akutungamirira kundoparadza hondo yavaFirisitia.

Dhavhidhi akaita sezvakarairwa naMwari; vakaparadza hondo yavaFirisitia kubva paGibhiyoni kusvikira paGezeri.

Mbiri yaDhavhidhi ikabudira kunyika dzose; Jehovha akavhundusa marudzi ose pamusoro pake.

Dhavhidhi akazvivakira dzimba muguta raDhavhidhi; akagadzirira areka yaMwari nzvimbo, akaidzikira tende.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akati, Hakuna munhu anofanira kutakura areka yaMwari asi vaRevhi; nokuti ndivo vakatsaurwa naJehovha kutakura areka yaMwari, nokumushumira nokusingaperi.

Dhavhidhi akaunganidza vaIsiraeri vose paJerusaremu kuti vaise areka yaJehovha kunzvimbo yayo, yaakanga aigadzirira.

Dhavhidhi akaunganidza vanakomana vaAroni navaRevhi;

Akati kwavari, Ndimi vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba avaRevhi; chizvinatsai imi nehama dzenyu, kuti mukwire neareka yaJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, kunzvimbo yandakaigadzirira.

Nokuti nemhaka yokuti hamuna kuitakura pakutanga, Jehovha Mwari wedu akatirova, nokuti hatina kumutsvaka sezvatakarairwa.

Enda unoudza Dhavhidhi muranda wangu, uti, Iwe haungandivakiri imba mandingagara,

nokuti handina kugara mumba kubva pazuva randakandotora vaIsiraeri, kusvikira zuva ranhasi; asi ndakabva patende rimwe ndichienda kune rimwe, napatabhenakeri imwe ndichienda kune imwe.

Pose pandakafamba navaIsiraeri vose, ndakatongotaura here shoko rimwe kune mumwe wavatongi vaIsiraeri vose, vandakaraira kufudza vanhu vangu, ndichiti Makaregereiko kundivakira imba yomusidhari?

Naizvozvo zvino, unofanira kuti kumuranda wangu Dhavhidhi, Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Ndakakutora kumafuro, kwawakanga uchifudza makwai, kuti uve mubati wavanhu vangu vaIsiraeri;

ndikava newe pose pawakafamba, ndikaparadza vavengi vako vose pamberi pako; ndichakuitira zita ringafanana namazita avakuru vari panyika.

Ndichagadzirira vanhu vangu valsiraeri nzvimbo, ndichavasima, vagare panzvimbo yavo, varege kubviswazve; navakaipa havangavaparadzizve sapakutanga,

nokubva pazuva randakaraira vatongi kuti vabate vanhu vangu valsiraeri; uye ndichakunda vavengi vako vose. Uye ndinokuudza kuti Jehovha achakumisira imba.

Zvino kana nguva yako yasvika, yaunofanira kuenda nayo kunamadzibaba ako, ndichamutsa mumwe worudzi rwako ruchakutevera, uchava mumwe wavanakomana vako; ndichasimbisa ushe hwake.

Iye achandivakira imba, neni ndichasimbisa chigaro chake choushe nokusingaperi.

Ini ndichava baba vake, naiye achava mwanakomana wangu; handingabvisi nyasha dzangu kwaari, sezvandakadzibvisa kuna iye wakakutangira;

asi ndichamugarisa mumba mangu nomuushe hwangu nokusingaperi; chigaro chake choushe chichasimbiswa nokusingaperi.

Natani akaudza Dhavhidhi mashoko awa ose, nezvose zvaakaratidzwa.

Ipapo mambo Dhavhidhi akapinda, akagara pamberi paJehovha, akati, Jehovha Mwari, ndini aniko, neimba yangu chinyiko, zvamakandisvitsa kusvikira pano?

Asi chinhu ichi chakanga chiri chiduku pamberi penyu, Mwari, asi makataura pamusoro peimba yomuranda wenyu kusvikira panguva huru inozouya, mukandiitira sezvinoitirwa munhu anokudzwa kwazvo, Jehovha Mwari.

Dhavhidhi angareveikozve kwamuri pamusoro pokukudzwa kwomuranda wenyu? Nokuti munoziva muranda wenyu.

Jehovha makaita izvi zvikuru zvose nokuda kwomuranda wenyu, uye nokuda kwomoyo wenyu, kuti muzivise zvinhu izvi zvose zvikuru.

Jehovha, hakuna mumwe akafanana nemi, hakuna mumwe Mwari asi imi moga, sezvatakanzwa zvose nenzeve dzedu.

Rumwe rudzi ruripiko panyika rwakafanana navanhu venyu vaIsiraeri, vakandodzikunurwa naMwari, vave vanhu vake, kuti imi mukurumbire nezvinhu zvikuru nezvinotyisa, zvamakadzinga ndudzi pamberi pavanhu venyu, vamakadzikunura paljipiti?

Nokuti vanhu venyu vaIsiraeri makavaita vanhu venyu pauzima nokusingaperi; imi Jehovha mukava Mwari wavo.

Zvino Jehovha shoko ramakataura pamusoro pomuranda wenyu napamusoro peimba yake ngarisimbiswe nokusingaperi, muite sezvamakataura.

Uye zita renyu ngarisimbiswe nokukudzwa nokusingaperi, zvichinzi, Jehovha wehondo ndiye Mwari waIsiraeri; ndiye Mwari kuna Isiraeri; imba yaDhavhidhi muranda wenyu ichamiswa pamberi penyu.

Nokuti imi, Mwari wangu, makazivisa muranda wenyu kuti muchamumisira imba; saka muranda wenyu akatsunga kunyengetera pamberi penyu.

Zvino Jehovha, ndimi Mwari, makapikira muranda wenyu chinhu ichi;

zvino makafara nazvo kuropafadza imba yomuranda wenyu, kuti irambe iripo pamberi penyu nokusingaperi; nokuti imi Jehovha makairopafadza zvino icharopafadzwa nokusingaperi.

Zvino shure kwaizvozvo Dhavhidhi akarwa navaFirisitia akavakunda; akatorera vaFirisitia Gati nemisha yaro.

Akakunda Moabhiwo, vaMoabhi vakaitwa varanda vaDhavhidhi, vakamuvigira zvipo.

Dhavhidhi akakundawo Hadharezeri mambo weZobha, kusvikira paHamati, pakuenda kwake kundosimbisa vumambo bwake parwizi Yufuratesi.

Dhavhidhi akamutorera ngoro dzine chiuru chimwe navatasvi vamabhiza vane zviuru zvinomwe, navaifamba namakumbo vane zviuru zvina makumi maviri; Dhavhidhi akagura marunda amakumbo amabhiza ose aikweva ngoro, asi wakachengetera ngoro dzine zana mamwe awo.

Zvino vaSiria veDhamasiko vakati vachiuya kuzobatsira Hadharezeri mambo weZobha, Dhavhidhi akauraya vaSiria vane zviuru zvina makumi maviri nezviviri.

Dhavhidhi akaisa mapoka avarwi muSiria paDhamasiko; vaSiria vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi vakamuvigira zvipo. Jehovha akakundisa Dhavhidhi pose paakaenda.

Dhavhidhi akatora nhovo dzendarama dzakanga dzakashongwa navaranda vaHadharezeri, akadziisa Jerusaremu.

NapaTibhati napaKuni, maguta eHadharezeri, Dhavhidhi akatora ndarira zhinji kwazvo, Soromoni yaakazoita nayo dziva rendarira, nembiru, nemidziyo yendarira.

Zvino Tou mambo weHamati akati achinzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akaparadza hondo yose yaHadharezeri mambo weZobha,

akatuma Hadhorami mwanakomana wake kuna mambo Dhavhidhi, kundomukwazisa, nokumukorokotedza pamusoro pokurwa kwake kwaHadharezeri nokumukunda; nokuti Hadharezeri wairwa naTou; akanga ane midziyo yamarudzi ose, yendarama, neyesirivha, nendarira.

Neyiyiwo mambo Dhavhidhi akaitsaurira Jehovha, pamwechete nesirivha nendarama yaakanga atora kundudzi dzose; kuna vaEdhomu, navaMoabhi, navana vaAmoni, navaFirisitia, navaAmareki.

Uye Abhishai mwanakomana waZeruya, akauraya vaEdhomu paMupata woMunyu vaiva vane zviuru zvine gumi nezvisere.

Akaisa mapoka avarwi paEdhomu; vaEdhomu vose vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi. Jehovha akakundisa Dhavhidhi pose paakaenda.

Dhavhidhi akabata vaIsiraeri vose; akatongera vanhu vake vose akavaitira zvakarurama.

Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya ndiye wairaira hondo, naJehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi waiva gurukota,

Zadhoki mwanakomana waAhitubhi, naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiyatari, vaiva vapirisiti, naShavhisha waiva munyori;

uye Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha ndiye wairaira vaKereti navaPereti; uye vanakomana vaDhavhidhi vaiva vakuru kutevera mambo.

Shure kwaizvozvo mambo wavana vaAmoni akafa, mwanakomana wake akabata ushe panzvimbo yake.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akati, Ndichaitira Hanuni mwanakomana waNahashi zvakanaka, sezvandakaitirwa zvakanaka nababa vake. Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kumubata ruoko pamusoro pababa vake. Varanda vaDhavhidhi vakasvika panyika yavana vaAmoni kuna Hanuni, kuzomubata ruoko.

Asi machinda avana vaAmoni akati kuna Hanuni ishe wavo, Munofunga kuti Dhavhidhi anoda kukudza baba venyu, zvaatuma vabati voruoko kwamuri here? Varanda vake havana kuuya kwamuri kunzvera, nokuputsa, nokushora nyika here?

Naizvozvo Hanuni akabata varanda vaDhavhidhi, akaveura ndebvu dzavo, akagura nguvo dzavo napakati kusvikira pamagaro avo, akavadzinga.

Zvino vamwe vakandoudza Dhavhidhi zvakanga zvaitirwa varume. Akatuma vanhu kusangana navo, nokuti varume vakanga vachinyara kwazvo. Mambo akati, Garai henyu Jeriko kusvikira ndebvu dzenyu dzamerazve, mugodzoka henyu.

Zvino vana vaAmoni vakati vachiona kuti vazvivengesa naDhavhidhi, Hanuni navana vaAmoni vakatuma matarenda esirivha ane chiuru chimwe kuzoripa ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza vanobva Mesopotamia, neArimimaaka, neZobha.

Naizvozvo vakaripira ngoro dzine zviuru zvina makumi matatu nezviviri, namambo weMaaka navanhu vake; ivo vakasvika vakadzika matende avo pamberi peMedhebha. Vana vaAmoni vakaungana vachibva kumaguta avo, vakauya kuzorwa.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akati achizvinzwa, akatuma Joabhu nehondo yose yavarume vane simba.

Vana vaAmoni vakabuda, vakagadzira hondo pavanopinda napo pasuo; asi madzimambo, akanga auya, aiva pachawo oga pasango.

Zvino Joabhu akati achiona kuti wovavarirwa mberi neshure, akatsaura vamwe kunavakatsaurwa vose vaIsiraeri, akavagadzira kuti varwe navaSiria.

Vamwe vanhu, vakasara, akavaisa kuna Abhishai, munununa wake, vakazvigadzira kuti varwe navana vaAmoni.

Akati, Kana vaSiria vakandikurira ini, iwe unofanira kundibatsira; asi kana vana vaAmoni vakakukurira iwe, ini ndichauya kukubatsira.

Tsunga moyo, tirwire vanhu vedu namaguta aMwari wedu savarume; naJehovha ngaaite sezvaanoda.

Naizvozvo Joabhu navanhu vaakanga anavo vakaswedera kuzorwa navaSiria, ivo vakatiza pamberi pake.

Zvino vana vaAmoni vakati vachionawo kuti vaSiria vatiza, naivo vakatizawo saizvozvo pamberi paAbhishai, vakapinda muguta. Ipapo Joabhu akaenda Jerusaremu.

Zvino vaSiria vakati vachiona kuti vakundwa navaIsiraeri, vakatuma nhume, vakadana vaSiria vakanga vari mhiri kworwizi, vakatungamirirwa naShofaki mukuru wehondo yaHadharezeri.

Dhavhidhi akaudzwa izvozvo; akaunganidza valsiraeri vose, vakayambuka Jorodhani, vakasvika kwavari, akazvigadzira kuzorwa navo. Zvino Dhavhidhi akati azvigadzira kuzorwa navaSiria, ivo vakarwa naye.

VaSiria vakatiza pamberi pavaIsiraeri; Dhavhidhi akauraya pakati pavaSiria varume vengoro dzine zviuru zvinomwe, navaifamba namakumbo vane zviuru zvina makumi mana, akaurayawo Shofaki mukuru wehondo.

Zvino varanda vaHadharezeri vakati vachiona kuti vakundwa naIsiraeri vakayanana naDhavhidhi, vakamushumira; vaSiria vakazoramba kubatsira vana vaAmoni.

Zvino gore rakati rapera, panguva yokurwa kwamadzimambo, Joabhu akaenda nehondo ine simba, akaparadza nyika yavana vaAmoni, akandokomba Rabha. Asi Dhavhidhi akasara Jerusaremu. Joabhu akakunda Rabha, akariputsa.

Dhavhidhi akabvisa korona yamambo wavo pamusoro wake, akawana kuti inosvika tarenda rimwe rendarama pakurema kwayo, uye yakanga ina mabwe anokosha ikaiswa pamusoro waDhavhidhi; akapamba zvizhinji kwazvo paguta iro.

Akabudisawo vanhu vakanga varimo, akavacheka namajeko, nembambo dzamatare, uye namasanhu. Dhavhidhi akaita saizvozvo namaguta ose avana vaAmoni. Dhavhidhi navanhu vose vakadzokera Jerusaremu. Dhavhidhi anokunda vaFirisitia

Zvino shure kwaizvozvo kurwa kukazomuka paGezeri navaFirisitia; Shibhekai muHushati, akauraya Sipai, mumwe wavanakomana vaRafa.

Vakarwazve navaFirisitia; Erihanani mwanakomana waJairi akauraya Rami munununa waGoriati muGiti, rwiriko rwepfumo rake rwakanga rwakafanana nedanda romuruki.

Vakarwazve paGati, pakanga pano munhu murefu kwazvo, akanga ane minwe nezvigunwe zvose zvina makumi maviri nezvina, mitanhatu paruoko rumwe norumwe, nezvitanhatu parutsoka rumwe norumwe; naiyewo akanga akaberekerwa Rafa.

Zvino akati achishora vaIsiraeri, Jonatani mwanakomana waShimea, munununa waDhavhidhi akamuuraya.

Ndivo vakaberekerwa Rafa paGati; vakaurawa naDhavhidhi, uye navaranda vake.

Zvino Satani akamukira vaIsiraeri, akakurudzira Dhavhidhi kuti averenge vaIsiraeri.

Dhavhidhi akati kuna Joabhu nokumachinda avanhu, Endai mundoverenga vaIsiraeri kubva paBheerishebha kusvikira paDhani; mudzoke neshoko, ndizive kuwanda kwavo.

Joabhu akati, Jehovha ngaawedzere vanhu vake runezana pakuwanda kwavo zvino; asi ishe wangu mambo, vose havazi varanda vashe wangu here? Ishe wangu anotsvakireiko chinhu ichi? Achapinzireiko vaIsiraeri pamhosva?

Kunyange zvakadaro shoko ramambo rakakurira Joabhu. Zvino Joabhu akaenda, akapota pakati pavaIsiraeri vose, akasvika Jerusaremu.

Joabhu akarondedzera kuwanda kwavanhu kuna Dhavhidhi. Valsiraeri vose vakasvika zviuru zvinezviuru nezviuru zvinezana zvavanhu vaigona kurwa nomunondo; uye vaJudha vakasvika zviuru zvamazana mana namakumi manomwe vaigona kurwa nomunondo.

Asi haana kuverenga vaRevhi navaBhenjamini pakati pavo; nokuti shoko ramambo rakanga rakaipa kwazvo kuna Joabhu.

Zvino Mwari akanga asingafari nechinhu ichi; saka akarova Isiraeri.

Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, Ndatadza kwazvo zvandaita chinhu ichi; asi zvino bvisai henyu kuipa kwomuranda wenyu; nokuti ndaita sebenzi kwazvo.

Jehovha akataura naGadhi, muoni waDhavhidhi, akati,

Enda unotaura naDhavhidhi, uti, zvanzi naJehovha, Ndinokuisira zvinhu zvitatu, chizvitsaurira chimwe chazvo, ndikuitire icho.

Zvino Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi, akati kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, Chitsaura chaunoda;

makore matatu enzara, kana kuparadzwa navavengi vako mwedzi mitatu, uchidzingwa nomunondo wavavengi vako, kana munondo waJehovha mazuva matatu, ndiro denda panyika, mutumwa waJehovha achiparadza panyika yose yaIsiraeri. Zvino chifunga hako, urangarire mhinduro yandingadzosera kuna iye akandituma.

Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Gadhi, Ndiri pakumanikidzwa kukuru; ndiwire hangu zvino muruoko rwaJehovha, nokuti nyasha dzake ihuru, asi ndirege hangu kuwira muruoko rwomunhu.

Ipapo Jehovha akatuma denda pakati paIsiraeri; varume vane zviuru zvina makumi manomwe vakafa pakati paIsiraeri.

Mwari akatuma mutumwa Jerusaremu kuzoriparadza; zvino wakati oda kuparadza, Jehovha akatarira, akazvidemba pamusoro pechinhu icho chakaipa, akati kumutumwa akanga achiparadza, Ndizvo, chidzosa ruoko rwako. Zvino mutumwa waJehovha akanga amire paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi.

Dhavhidhi akatarira, akaona mutumwa waJehovha amire pakati penyika nokudenga, akabata munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake, wakatambanudzwa pamusoro peJerusaremu. Ipapo Dhavhidhi navakuru vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakafuka saga.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, Ko handizi ini here ndakaraira kuti vanhu vaverengwe? Ndini ndakatadza hangu ndikaita zvakaipa zvikuru; asi makwai awa akaiteiko? Jehovha Mwari wangu, ruoko rwenyu ngarundirove harwo ini neimba yababa vangu; asi ngarurege kurova vanhu venyu, nokuvatambudza.

Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akaraira Gadhi kuti audze Dhavhidhi kuti Dhavhidhi akwire avakire Jehovha aritari paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi.

Dhavhidhi akakwira nokureva kwaGadhi kwaakataura nezita raJehovha.

Orinani akacheuka, akaona mutumwa; vanakomana vake vana, vaiva naye, vakavanda. Zvino Orinani wakanga achipura zviyo.

Dhavhidhi akati achisvika kuna Orinani, Orinani akatarira akaona Dhavhidhi, akabuda paburiro, akakotamira pasi nechiso chake pamberi paDhavhidhi.

Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Orinani, Ndipe nzvimbo yeburiro iri, kuti ndivakirepo aritari kuna Jehovha; unofanira kundipa iro nditenge nomutengo wakafanira, kuti denda ripere pakati pavanhu.

Ipapo Orinani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, Ritorei henyu, ishe wangu, mambo aite sezvaanoda; tarirai, ndinokupai nzombe zvive zvipiriso zvinopiswa, nenhumbi dzokupura nadzo dzive huni, nezviyo chive chipiriso choupfu; ndinozvipa zvose.

Mambo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Orinani, Kwete, asi zvirokwazvo ndicharitenga nomutengo wakafanira; nokuti handingatori chinhu chako ndikapa Jehovha, kana kuuya nechipiriso chinopiswa chisina mutengo.

Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akapa Orinani mashekeri ana mazana matanhatu endarama pakurema kwawo, uri mutengo wenzvimbo iyo.

Dhavhidhi akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo, akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, akashumira Jehovha; iye akamupindura nomoto wakabva kudenga ukawira paaritari yechipiriso chinopiswa.

Jehovha akaraira mutumwa, iye akadzoserazve munondo wake mumuhara wawo.

Zvino nenguva iyo Dhavhidhi akati aona kuti Jehovha amupindura paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi, akabayirapo.

Nokuti panguva iyo tabhenekari yaJehovha, yakanga yavakwa naMozisi murenje, nearitari yokupisira zvipiriso, zvakanga zviri padunhu rakakwirira paGibhiyoni.

Asi Dhavhidhi akanga asingagoni kuendako kuzobvunza Mwari pamberi payo; nokuti akanga achitya nemhaka yomunondo womutumwa waJehovha.

Dhavhidhi akati, Iyi ndiyo imba yaJehovha Mwari, neyiyi ndiyo aritari yokupisira zvipiriso zvaIsiraeri. Dhavhidhi anogadzira zvokuvaka temberi nazvo

Zvino Dhavhidhi akaraira kuti vatorwa vakanga vari panyika yaIsiraeri vaunganidzwe; akagadza vavezi vamabwe, kuti vaveze mabwe okuvaka nawo imba yaMwari.

Dhavhidhi akagadzirawo matare mazhinji okupfura nawo mbambo dzamagonhi amasuo nezvikorekedzo; uye ndarira zhinji isina kuidzwa kurema kwayo.

Namatanda emisidhari asina kuverengwa; nokuti vaZidhoni naveTire vakauya nemisidhari yakawanda kuna Dhavhidhi.

Dhavhidhi akati, Soromoni mwanakomana wangu achiri muduku asine simba, uye imba, inofanira kuvakirwa Jehovha, inofanira kuva huru kwazvo, ingarumbidzwa nokukudzwa panyika dzose; saka ini ndichaigadzirira. Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akagadzira zvizhinji asati afa.

Ipapo akadana Soromoni mwanakomana wake, akamuraira kuti avakire Jehovha Mwari walsiraeri imba.

Dhavhidhi akati kuna Soromoni mwanakomana wake, Kana ndirini, ndakanga ndichiti mumoyo mangu ndichavakira zita raJehovha Mwari wangu imba.

Asi shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti, Iwe wakateura ropa rakawanda, uye wakarwa zvizhinji; iwe haungavakiri zita rangu imba, nokuti wakateura ropa rakawanda panyika pamberi pangu;

asi tarira, uchaberekerwa mwanakomana, achava munhu wezororo; ndichamuzorodza pavavengi vake vose vanomupoteredza; nokuti zita rake richanzi Soromoni, ndichapa Isiraeri rugare nokunyarara namazuva ake;

iye achavakira zita rangu imba; iye achava mwanakomana wangu, neni ndichava baba vake; ini ndichasimbisa chigaro chake choushe pakati paIsiraeri nokusingaperi.

Zvino, mwana wangu, Jehovha ngaave newe; ufambiswe zvakanaka iwe, uvake imba yaJehovha Mwari wako, sezvaakataura pamusoro pako.

Asi Jehovha ngaakupe kungwara nokuchenjera, akuraire pamusoro paIsiraeri; kuti saizvozvo uchengete murayiro waJehovha Mwari wako.

Nokudaro uchafambiswa zvakanaka, kana uchichenjera kuita mitemo nezvakatongwa, zvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha pamusoro paIsiraeri; simba, utsunge moyo, usatya kana kuvhunduswa.

Zvino tarira, ndakatambura ndichigadzirira imba yaJehovha matarenda ane zviuru zvine zana zvendarama, namatarenda ane chiuru chezviuru esirivha; nendarira namatare zvisina kuidzwa, nokuti zvakawanda kwazvo; ndakagadzirawo matanda namabwe; newe ungawedzera hako pazviri.

Uye vabati unavo vazhinji, vaputsi navavezi vamabwe namatanda, navarume vose vakangwara pamabasa ose;

nendarama, nesirivha, nendarira, namatare hazvingaverengwi; simuka, ubate Jehovha ave newe,

Dhavhidhi akarairawo machinda ose aIsiraeri kuti vabatsire Soromoni mwanakomana wake, akati,

Ko Jehovha Mwari wenyu haazi nemi here? Haana kukuzorodzai kumativi ose here? Nokuti akaisa vanhu vagere panyika iyi muruoko rwangu; zvino nyika yakundwa pamberi paJehovha napamberi pavanhu vake.

Zvino shingairai nemoyo yenyu uye nemweya yenyu kutsvaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu; naizvozvo simukai muvake imba tsvene yaJehovha Mwari, kuti mugoisa areka yesungano yaJehovha nenhumbi tsvene dzaMwari muimba inofanira kuvakirwa zita raJehovha.

Zvino Dhavhidhi akanga akwegura, ava namazuva mazhinji; akaita Soromoni mwanakomana wake mambo walsiraeri.

Akaunganidza machinda ose aIsiraeri pamwechete navapirisiti navaRevhi.

VaRevhi vakaverengwa vanamakore makumi matatu navakapfuura ipapo; pakuwanda kwavo, vachiverengwa musoro womurume mumwe nomumwe, vakasvika zviuru zvina makumi matatu nezvisere.

Pakati pavo vane zviuru zvina makumi maviri nezvina vaitarira mabasa eimba yaJehovha; vane zviuru zvitanhatu vaiva vatariri navatongi;

vane zviuru zvina vaiva vatariri vemikova; vane zviuru zvina vairumbidza Jehovha nezvokuridza zvandakaita (ndizvo zvakareva Dhavhidhi) kuti arumbidzwe nazvo.

Dhavhidhi akavakamura, akaita mapoka akaenzana navanakomana vaRevhi, Gerishoni, naKohati, naMerari.

VokwaGerishoni: Radhani naShimei.

Vanakomana vaRadhani: Jehieri mukuru, naZerami, naJoeri, vose vatatu.

Vanakomana vaShimei: Sheromoti, naHazieri, naHarani, vose vatatu. Ndivo vaiva vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba aRadhani.

Vanakomana vaShimei: Jahati, naZina, naJeushi, naBheriya. Ava vana vakanga vari vanakomana vaShimei.

Jahati akanga ari mukuru, wechipiri Ziza; asi Jeushi naBheriya vakanga vasina vanakomana vazhinji saka vakaverengwa vachiita imba imwe yamadzibaba.

Vanakomana vaKohati: Amirami, naIshari, naHebhuroni, naUzieri, vose vana.

Vanakomana vaAmirami: Aroni, naMozisi; Aroni ndiye akatsaurwa, kuti anatse zvinhu zvitsene-tsvene, iye navanakomana vake, nokusingaperi; kuti vapise zvinonhuwira pamberi paJehovha,nokumushumira, nokuropafadza vanhu nezita rake nokusingaperi.

Asi kana ari Mozisi munhu waMwari, vanakomana vake vakaverengwa kurudzi rwaRevhi.

Vanakomana vaMozisi: Gerishomi naEriezeri.

Vanakomana vaGerishomi: Shebhueri mukuru.

Vanakomana vaEriezeri: Rehabhia mukuru. Eriezeri akanga asina vamwe vanakomana; asi vanakomana vaRehabhia vakanga vari vazhinji-zhinji.

Vanakomana vaUzieri: Mika mukuru, naIshia wechipiri.

Vanakomana vaMerari: Mari naMushi. Vanakomana vaMari: Eriazari naKishi.

Eriazari akafa asina vanakomana, asi vanasikana voga; hama dzavo, vanakomana vaKishi, dzikavawana.

Vanakomana vaMushi: Mari, naEdheri, naJeremoti, vose vatatu.

Ndivo vaiva vanakomana vaRevhi, nedzimba dzamadzibaba avo, ivo vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba vakaverengwa pakati pavo, vachiverengwa namazita avo musoro womumwe nomumwe, vaibata basa paimba yaJehovha, vanamakore makumi maviri navakapfuura ipapo.

Nokuti Dhavhidhi wakati, Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri wakazorodza vanhu vake; iye anogara Jerusaremu nokusingaperi,

uye vaRevhi havachazofaniri kutakura tabhenekari nenhumbi dzayo dzokubata mabasa ayo.

Nokuti namashoko aDhavhidhi okupedzisira vanakomana vaRevhi vakaverengwa, vanamakore makumi maviri navakapfuura ipapo.

Nokuti basa ravo rakanga riri rokubatsira vanakomana vaAroni pakushumira paimba yaJehovha, pavazhe, napamakamuri, napakusuka zvinhu zvitsvene, riri basa rokushumira paimba yaMwari;

nokugadzira zvingwa zvokuratidza, noupfu hwakatsetseka hwechipiriso choupfu, kana chezvingwa zvitete zvisina mbiriso, kana zvakabikwa mugango, kana zvakakanyiwa namafuta, marudzi ose ezviyero nezvitanda zvokuera

Uye kuti vachengete tende rokusangana, nokuchengeta nzvimbo tsvene, nokuchengeta vanakomana vaAroni, hama dzavo, pabasa reimba yaJehovha.

Zvino mapoka avanakomana vaAroni akanga akadai: vanakomana vaAroni: Nadhabhi, naAbhihu, naEriazari, naItamari.

Jehovha Mwari waAbhurahamu, nalsaka, naIsiraeri, madzibaba edu, garisai izvi nokusingaperi pandangariro dzemifungo yemoyo yavanhu venyu; rereudzai moyo yavo kwamuri,

ipai Soromoni mwanakomana wangu moyo wakarurama, kuti achengete mirairo yenyu, nezvipupuriro zvenyu, nezvamakatema, kuti aite zvinhu izvi zvose, avake imba huru yandakagadzirira zvose.

Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuungano yose, Zvino kudzai Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Ipapo ungano yakakudza Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba avo, vakakotamisa misoro yavo, vakanamata kuna Jehovha namambo.

Vakabayira Jehovha zvibayiro, vakauya nezvipiriso zvinopiswa kuna Jehovha mangwanani pazuva rakatevera, zvaiti: nzombe dzine chiuru chimwe, namakondohwe ane chiuru chimwe, namakwaiana ane chiuru chimwe, pamwechete nezvipiriso zvazvo zvinodururwa, nezvibayiro zvakawanda zvavaIsiraeri vose;

vakadya, vakanwa pamberi paJehovha nomufaro mukuru nezuva iro. Vakaita Soromoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi mambo rwechipiri, vakamuzodzera Jehovha ave mutungamiriri, naZadhoki ave mupirisiti.

Ipapo Soromoni akagara pachigaro choushe chaJehovha akava mambo panzvimbo yaDhavhidhi baba vake, akafambiswa zvakanaka; vaIsiraeri vose vakamuteerera.

Machinda ose, navanhu vose vane simba, navanakomana vose vamambo Dhavhidhi vakazviisa pasi pamambo Soromoni.

Jehovha akakudza Soromoni kwazvo-kwazvo pamberi pavaIsiraeri vose, akamupa umambo hwakakura, husina kumbopiwa mumwe mambo waIsiraeri wakamutangira. Kufa kwaDhavhidhi

Zvino Dhavhidhi mwanakomana waJese akabata valsiraeri vose paushe hwake.

Nguva yaakabata ushe hwaIsiraeri aiva makore makumi mana; wakabata ushe paHebhuroni makore manomwe, napaJerusaremu akabata ushe makore makumi matatu namatatu.

Akazofa akwegura kwazvo, ava namakore mazhinji, nefuma, nokukudzwa; Soromoni mwanakomana wake akabata ushe panzvimbo yake.

Zvino mabasa amambo Dhavhidhi, okutanga nookupedzisira, tarirai, akanyorwa pamashoko omuoni Samueri, napamashoko omupirisiti Natani, napamashoko omuoni Gadhi;

pamwechete namashoko oushe hwake, nesimba rake, nezvaakaitirwa panguva dzose, iye navaIsiraeri, noushe hwose hwedzimwe nyika.
