asi haufaniri kudya zvinobva pamuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa, nokuti pauchaudya uchafa zvirokwazvo.”

Kumukadzi akati, “Ndichawedzera kwazvo kurwadziwa kwako mukubereka vana; uchabereka vana mukurwadziwa. Kuda kwako kuchava kumurume wako, uye achava nesimba pamusoro pako.” Kuna Adhamu akati, “Nokuti wakateerera kumukadzi wako uye ukadya zvakabva pamuti wandakakurayira ndichiti, ‘Haufaniri kuudya,’ “Ivhu ratukwa nokuda kwako; mukushanda kunorwadza, uchadya zvibereko zvaro mazuva ose oupenyu hwako. Richakuberekera minzwa norukato, uye uchadya miriwo yomusango. Neziya rechiso chako uchadya zvokudya zvako kusvikira wadzokera kuguruva, sezvo wakatorwa kwariri; nokuti uri guruva, kuguruva uchadzokera.”

Jehovha akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndaona kutambudzika kwavanhu vangu muIjipiti. Ndanzwa kuchema kwavo nokuda kwavatariri vavo vamabasa, uye ndinoziva kutambudzika kwavo. Saka ndaburuka kuti ndivanunure vabve muruoko rwavaIjipita uye kuti ndivabudise munyika iyo ndivaise kunyika yakanaka uye yakakura, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, nzvimbo yavaKenani, vaHiti, vaAmori, vaPerezi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi. Uye zvino kuchema kwavaIsraeri kwasvika kwandiri, uye ndaona nzira yavanotambudzwa nayo navaIjipita.

Jehovha achakurwirai; imi ingonyararai bedzi.”

Akati, “Kana mukanyatsoteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukaita zvakarurama pamberi pake, kana mukarerekera nzeve dzenyu kumirayiro yake uye mukachengeta mitemo yose, haangauyisi pamusoro penyu zvirwere zvose zvandakauyisa pamusoro pavaIjipita, nokuti ndini Jehovha anokuporesai.”

Kana mukaita izvozvo uye ivo vakachema kwandiri, zvirokwazvo ndichanzwa kuchema kwavo.

Namatai Jehovha Mwari wenyu, uye ipapo maropafadzo ake achava pane zvokudya zvenyu nemvura yenyu. Ndichabvisa urwere kubva pakati penyu,

“ ‘Kana mumwe wehama dzenyu akava murombo uye asisagoni kuzviriritira pakati penyu, mubatsirei sezvamunoita mutorwa kana mueni kuti arambe achigara pakati penyu.

“ ‘Ndichapa rugare panyika, uye muchavata pasi pasina achakuvhundutsai. Ndichabvisa zvikara zvesango panyika, uye munondo haungazopfuuri nomunyika yenyu.

uye mukaramba mitemo yangu, mukasema mirayiro yangu, mukatadza kuzadzisa zvose zvandakarayira, saizvozvo mukaputsa sungano yangu, ipapo ndichaita izvi kwamuri: Ndichauyisa pamusoro penyu zvinotyisa, zvirwere zvinoparadza nedenda richaparadza meso enyu, uye rigokusvetai upenyu hwenyu. Muchadyarira zviyo zvenyu pasina nokuti vavengi venyu vachazvidya. Chiso changu chichanangana nemi zvokuti muchakundwa navavengi venyu. Avo vanokuvengai vachakutongai, uye muchatiza kunyange pasina anokudzinganisai.

Kana muchinge matambudzika uye zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika kwamuri, ipapo pamazuva achatevera muchadzoka kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu mugomuteerera. Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiMwari ane ngoni, haangakusiyei kana kukuparadzai, kana kukanganwa sungano yamadzibaba enyu, yaakasimbisa kwavari nemhiko.

Jehovha achakuchengetedzai kubva pahosha dzose. Haangaisi pamusoro penyu hosha dzakaipisa dzamaiziva muIjipiti, asi achadziisa pamusoro paavo vose vanokuvengai.

Nguo dzenyu hadzina kusakara uye tsoka dzenyu hadzina kuzvimba pamakore aya makumi mana. Naizvozvo zvizive mumwoyo wako kuti Jehovha Mwari wako anokuranga, somunhu anoranga mwanakomana wake. Chengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wako, ufambe munzira dzake uye umukudze.

Anoruramisira nherera nechirikadzi, uye anoda mutorwa, agomupa zvokudya nezvokupfeka.

Tarirai, nhasi ndiri kuisa pamberi penyu kuropafadzwa nokutukwa, kuropafadzwa kana muchiteerera mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yandinokupai nhasi; kutukwa kana mukasateerera mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukatsauka kubva panzira yandinokurayirai nhasi muchitevera vamwe vamwari, avo vamusati maziva.

Kana muchienda kundorwa navavengi venyu uye mukaona mabhiza nengoro nehondo huru kupfuura yenyu, musavatya, nokuti Jehovha Mwari, uyo akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, achava nemi.

Kana muchiteerera zvakanaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu nokuchenjerera kutevera mirayiro yake yose yandinokupai nhasi, Jehovha Mwari wenyu achakuisai pamusoro-soro pendudzi dzose dzapanyika.

Nhasi uno ndinodana denga nenyika kuti zvikupupurirei kuti ndaisa pamberi penyu upenyu nerufu, maropafadzo nokutukwa. Zvino sarudza upenyu, kuitira kuti iwe navana vako mugorarama. Uye ugoda Jehovha Mwari wako, uteerere inzwi rake, uye ugobatirira paari. Nokuti Jehovha ndiye upenyu hwako, uye achakupa makore mazhinji munyika yaakapika kuti achaipa kumadzibaba enyu Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho.

Simbai mutsunge mwoyo. Musatya kana kuvhundutswa nokuda kwavo, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu achaenda nemi; haangakusiyei kana kukurasai.”

Jehovha pachake achakutungamirira uye achava newe; haangakusiyi kana kukurasa. Usatya kana kuora mwoyo.”

“Chionai zvino kuti ini pachangu ndini Iye! Hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu, ndinouraya uye ndinopa upenyu, ndakakuvadza uye ndichaporesa, uye hapana anogona kudzikinura muruoko rwangu.

Handina kukurayira here? Simba utsunge mwoyo. Usavhunduka; usaora mwoyo, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako achava newe kwose kwaunoenda.”

Joshua akati kwavari, “Musatya; musaora mwoyo. Simbai mutsunge mwoyo. Izvi ndizvo zvichaitwa naJehovha kuvavengi venyu vose vamucharwa navo.”

“Jehovha ndiye anouraya uye ndiye anoraramisa; anodzikisa kuguva uye anomutsawo. Jehovha ndiye anopa urombo uye noupfumi; uye anoninipisa uye anosimudzira. Anosimudza varombo kubva paguruva uye anosimudza vanoshaya kubva padurunhuru ramadota; anovagarisa namachinda uye anovaita kuti vagare nhaka yechigaro choumambo chokukudzwa. “Nokuti nheyo dzenyika ndedzaJehovha, pamusoro padzo akamisa nyika.

Dhavhidhi akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo uye akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana. Ipapo Jehovha akapindura munyengetero wokukumbirira nyika, uye denda rikapera pamusoro peIsraeri.

Mumazuva iwayo Hezekia akarwara zvokuda kufa. Muprofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi akaenda kwaari akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: Gadzira imba yako, nokuti uchafa, hausi kuzorarama.” Hezekia akatendeukira kumadziro uye akanyengetera kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, rangarirai kuti ndakafamba sei pamberi penyu nokutendeka uye nomwoyo wose uye ndikaita zvakanaka pamberi penyu.” Hezekia akachema zvikuru. Isaya asati abva paruvanze rwapakati, shoko raJehovha rakauya kwaari richiti, “Dzokera undoudza Hezekia, mutungamiri wavanhu vangu kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wababa vako Dhavhidhi: Ndanzwa munyengetero wako uye ndaona misodzi yako; ndichakuporesa. Nezuva retatu kubva zvino uchakwira kutemberi yaJehovha. Ndichawedzera paupenyu hwako makore gumi namashanu. Uye ndichakurwira iwe neguta rino. Ndicharwira guta iri kubva muruoko rwamambo weAsiria nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwomuranda wangu Dhavhidhi.’ ”

Zvirumbidzei muzita rake dzvene; mwoyo yaavo vanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare. Tarisai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose. Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, zviratidzo zvake uye nemitongo yaakareva.

kana vanhu vangu vanodaidzwa nezita rangu, vakazvininipisa, vakanyengetera vakatsvaga chiso changu, vakatendeuka kubva panzira dzavo dzakaipa, ipapo ndichavanzwa kubva kudenga uye ndicharegerera chivi chavo uye ndichaporesa nyika yavo. Zvino meso angu achaona uye nzeve dzangu dzichanzwa minyengetero ichapirwa munzvimbo ino.

Iye ane ruoko rwenyama chete, asi isu tina Jehovha Mwari wedu kuti atibatsire uye anotirwira hondo dzedu.” Vanhu vakawana kusimbisiswa nokushinga kubva pane zvakanga zvataurwa naHezekia mambo weJudha.

nhume yakasvika kuna Jobho ikati, “Nzombe dzanga dzichirima uye mbongoro dzanga dzichifura nechapedyo, vaSebhia vakarwisa vakazvitora vakaenda nazvo. Vauraya varanda nomunondo ini ndoga ndini ndapunyuka kuti ndizokuzivisai!” Achiri kutaura kudaro, imwe nhume yakasvika ikati, “Moto waMwari waburuka kudenga ukapisa makwai navaranda, uye ini ndoga ndini ndapunyuka kuti ndizokuzivisai!” Achiri kutaura kudaro, imwe nhume yakasvika ikati, “VaKaradhea vaita mapoka matatu okupamba vakatora ngamera dzenyu vakaenda nadzo. Vauraya varanda venyu nomunondo, uye ini ndoga ndini ndapunyuka kuti ndizokuzivisai!” Achiri kutaura kudaro, imwezve nhume yakasvika ikati, “Vanakomana venyu navanasikana venyu vanga vachidya nokunwa waini vari mumba momukoma wavo mukuru, pakarepo mhepo huru yavhuvhuta ichibva kugwenga ikarova makona mana eimba. Yawira pamusoro pavo uye vafa, uye ini ndoga ndini ndasara kuti ndizokuzivisai!” Ipapo Jobho akasimuka ndokubvarura nguo dzake akaveura musoro wake. Ipapo akawira pasi

akanamata achiti: “Ndakabuda mudumbu ramai vangu ndiri mushwi, uye ndichadzokera ndiri mushwi. Jehovha akapa uye Jehovha akatora, Zita raJehovha ngarirumbidzwe.”

Satani akapindura achiti, “Ganda neganda! Munhu achapa zvose zvaanazvo nokuda kwoupenyu hwake. Asi tambanudzai ruoko murove muviri wake namapfupa ake, uye zvirokwazvo achakutukai pachena.” Jehovha akati kuna Satani, “Saka zvakanaka, ari mumaoko ako, asi haufaniri kubata upenyu hwake.” Saka Satani akabva pamberi paJehovha akandorova Jobho namaronda anorwadza kubva pasi petsoka dzake kusvikira panhongonya yomusoro wake. Ipapo Jobho akatora chaenga akazvikwenya nacho paakanga agere pakati pamadota.

Mukadzi wake akati, “Ucharambira pakururama kwako kusvikira riniko? Tuka Mwari ufe!” Iye akapindura akati, “Iwe unotaura somukadzi benzi. Ko, tichagamuchira zvakanaka kubva kuna Mwari, tikashayiwa zvakaipa here?” Muzvinhu izvi zvose, Jobho haana kutadza pane zvaakataura.

Shamwari nhatu dzaJobho, Erifazi muTemani, Bhiridhadhi muShuhi naZofari muNamati dzakati dzanzwa pamusoro pokutambudzika kwakanga kwawira pamusoro pake, vakabva kumisha yavo vakaungana pamwe chete vatenderana kuti vaende kundomudemba uye vamunyaradze. Vakati vamuona ari chinhambwe, havana kugona kumuziva, vakatanga kuchema zvikuru, uye vakabvarura nguo dzavo uye vakazvimwaya guruva pamisoro yavo. Ipapo vakagara pasi naye kwamazuva manomwe nousiku hunomwe. Hakuna munhu akagona kutaura kana shoko kwaari, nokuti vakaona kukura kwokutambudzika kwake.

“Akaropafadzwa munhu anogadziridzwa zvaari naMwari; saka usazvidza kuranga kwoWamasimba Ose. Nokuti anopa vanga, asi achisungazve; anokuvadza, asi maoko ake anorapazve.

Ipapo ndaizova hangu nokunyaradzwa uku, mufaro wangu mukurwadziwa kusingagumi, kuti handina kunge ndamboramba mashoko aiye Mutsvene. “Ndinaro here simba, rokuti ndirambe ndine tariro? Tariro yacho ndeyeiko kuti nditsungirire?

“Munhu asina tariro anofanira kuwana rudo rweshamwari dzake, kunyange iye arega kutya Wamasimba Ose.

Muviri wangu wakafukidzwa nehonye uye nemaronda, ganda rangu rakatsemuka uye raora.

Achazadza muromo wako nokuseka uye miromo yako nokupururudza.

“Ndinosema upenyu hwangu chaihwo, naizvozvo ndicharega kunyarara pakunyunyuta kwangu ndigotaura mukushungurudzika kwemwoyo wangu.

Zvirokwazvo uchakanganwa nhamo yako, uchangoirangarira semvura yakaerera. Upenyu huchajeka kupfuura masikati makuru, uye rima richaita samangwanani. Iwe uchagara zvakanaka, nokuti tariro iriko; ucharinga-ringa ugozorora murugare. Uchavata hako pasi, pasina munhu anokuvhundutsa, uye vazhinji vachakumbira nyasha dzako.

Kunyange zvakadaro, imi munondizora nhema; muri varapi vasina maturo, imi mose!

Kunyange akandiuraya hake, asi ini ndichavimba naye; zvirokwazvo ndichadzivirira nzira dzangu pamberi pake.

“Saizvozvo munhu anopera kufanana nechinhu chakaora, senguo yakadyiwa nezvipfukuto.

Anongonzwa kurwadza kwomuviri wake chete, agozvichema iye pachake bedzi.”

Handisati ndichiri chinhu asi ndangova hangu ganda namapfupa; ndangopunyuka napaburi retsono.

Ndinoziva kuti mudzikinuri wangu mupenyu, uye kuti pakupedzisira achamira pamusoro penyika. Uye shure kwokunge ganda rangu raparara, kunyange zvakadaro ndichaona Mwari munyama yangu;

“Uye zvino upenyu hwangu hwava kuguma; mazuva okutambudzika anondibata. Usiku hunobaya mapfupa angu; zvinondiruma-ruma zvinorwadza hazvizorori.

Kumonyoroka kwoura hwangu hakumbomiri; mazuva okutambudzika anondivinga. Ndinodzungaira ndichisvibiswa, asi kwete nezuva; ndinosimuka pakati peungano ndichichemera rubatsiro. Ndava hama yamakava, neshamwari yamazizi. Ganda rangu riri kusviba uye riri kufunuka; muviri wangu unopisa nefivha.

Kana kuti munhu angarangwa panhoo yokurwadziwa, achiramba achitambudzika mumapfupa ake, saka upenyu hwake chaihwo hunosemburwa nezvokudya, uye mweya wake unosema zvokudya zvakaisvonaka. Anoonda kusvikira apera, uye mapfupa ake, akanga asingaonekwi, zvino obuda kunze. Mweya wake unoswedera kugomba, uye upenyu hwake kunhume dzorufu.

“Ngatiti munhu oti kuna Mwari, ‘Ndine mhaka asi handichatadzazve. Ndidzidzisei zvandisingagoni kuona; kana ndakaita zvakaipa, handichazviitizve.’

Shure kwokunge Jobho anyengeterera shamwari dzake, Jehovha akaita kuti abudirirezve akamupa zvakapetwa kaviri kupfuura zvaakanga anazvo kare. Vanunʼuna vake vose nehanzvadzi dzake navose vaimuziva vakauya vakadya pamwe chete naye mumba make. Vakamuvaraidza uye vakamunyaradza pamusoro pamatambudziko akanga aiswa naJehovha pamusoro pake, uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akamupa chidimbu chesirivha nemhete yegoridhe.

Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuti vazorwa naJehovha, uye kuti vazorwisa Muzodziwa Wake. Vanoti, “Ngatidamburei ngetani dzavo, tigorasa mabote avo.” Iye agere pachigaro choushe chokudenga anoseka; Ishe anovadadira.

Asi imi Jehovha, muri nhoo yakandipoteredza; munoisa rukudzo pandiri uye munosimudza musoro wangu. Kuna Jehovha ndinodana nenzwi guru, uye anondipindura ari pagomo rake dzvene. Sera Ndinovata pasi ndigokotsira; ndinomukazve, nokuti Jehovha anonditsigira. Handizotyi makumi ezviuru vakandikomba kuti vandirwise.

Ndichavata pasi ndigokotsira norugare, nokuti imi moga, Jehovha, munoita kuti ndigare pakasimba.

Ndinzwirei ngoni, Jehovha, nokuti ndava kuziya; haiwa Jehovha, ndiporesei, nokuti mapfupa angu ava kurwadza. Mweya wangu uri kurwadziwa. Haiwa Jehovha, kusvikira riniko, kusvikira riniko? Dzokai, imi Jehovha, mugondirwira; ndiponesei nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi.

Jehovha ndiye nhare yavakamanikidzwa, nhare yakasimba panguva yokutambudzika. Vanoziva zita renyu vachavimba nemi, nokuti imi, Jehovha hamuna kumbosiya avo vanokutsvakai.

Haiwa Jehovha, onai kuti vavengi vangu vanonditambudza sei! Ndinzwirei ngoni mundisimudze pamasuo orufu,

Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.

Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko? Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi. Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka, nokuti imi hamuzondisiyi muguva, kana kurega Mutsvene wenyu achiona kuora. Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.

Ndichengetei semboni yeziso renyu; ndivanzei pasi pomumvuri wamapapiro enyu, kubva kuno wakaipa anondirwisa, kubva kuvavengi vangu, vanoda kundiuraya, vakandikomberedza.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi muranda waJehovha. Akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva mumaoko avavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro. Akati: Ndinokudai, imi Jehovha, simba rangu. Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu, murwiri wangu; Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, wandinovanda maari. Ndiye nhoo yangu norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu, shongwe yangu. Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye akafanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu. Mabote orufu akandipinganidza; mvura zhinji inoparadza yakandifukidza. Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakanangana neni. Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadana kuna Mwari wangu kuti ndibatsirwe. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika pamberi pake munzeve dzake.

Nokuti haana kuzvidza kana kusema chibayiro chaiye akatambudzwa; haana kumuvanzira chiso chake, asi akanzwa kuchemera kwake rubatsiro.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wangu, hapana chandingashayiwa. Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza, anoponesa mweya wangu. Anondifambisa panzira dzokururama nokuda kwezita rake. Kunyange ndikafamba nomumupata womumvuri worufu, handingatyi zvakaipa, nokuti imi muneni; tsvimbo yenyu nomudonzvo wenyu zvinondinyaradza. Munondigadzirira tafura pamberi pavavengi vangu. Munozodza musoro wangu namafuta; mukombe wangu unopfachukira. Zvirokwazvo kunaka kwenyu norudo rwenyu zvichanditevera, mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, uye ndichagara mumba maJehovha nokusingaperi.

Dzokerai kwandiri uye mundinzwire nyasha, nokuti ndiri ndoga uye ndinotambudzika. Matambudziko omwoyo wangu awanda; ndisunungurei pakurwadziwa kwangu. Tarirai kutambudzika kwangu nenhamo yangu, mugobvisa zvivi zvangu zvose.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye chiedza changu noruponeso rwangu, ndichagotya aniko? Jehovha ndiye nhare youpenyu hwangu, ndianiko wandingatya? Vanhu vakaipa pavakauya kwandiri kuzodya nyama yangu, vavengi navadzivisi vangu pavanondirwisa, vanogumburwa ndokuwa. Kunyange hondo ikandikomba, mwoyo wangu haungazotyi; kunyange hondo ikamuka kuzondirwisa, ipapo ndichavimba naJehovha. Chinhu chimwe chete chandinokumbira kuna Jehovha, ndicho chandinotsvaka: kuti ndigare mumba maJehovha mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, kuti nditarire kunaka kwaJehovha uye ndimutsvake mutemberi yake. Nokuti zuva rokutambudzika achandichengeta zvakanaka munzvimbo yaanogara; achandiviga mudumba retabhenakeri yake, agondikwidza pamusoro pedombo.

Kunyange baba vangu namai vangu vakandisiya, Jehovha achandigamuchira.

Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhoo yangu; mwoyo wangu unovimba naye, uye ndinobatsirwa. Mwoyo wangu unokwakuka nomufaro uye ndichamuvonga nenziyo.

Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndakachemera rubatsiro kwamuri uye mukandiporesa. Haiwa Jehovha, makandibudisa muguva; mukandirwira kuti ndirege kupinda mugomba. Imbirai Jehovha, imi vatsvene vake; rumbidzai zita rake dzvene. Nokuti kutsamwa kwake ndokwenguva duku, asi nyasha dzake ndedzoupenyu hwose; kuchema kungangovapo usiku. Asi mufaro unouya mangwanani.

“Chiiko chinowanikwa pakuparadzwa kwangu, napakupinda kwangu mugomba? Ko, guruva richakurumbidzai here? Richaparidza kutendeka kwenyu here? Inzwai, imi Jehovha, mundinzwire ngoni; imi Jehovha, ivai mubatsiri wangu.” Imi makashandura kuungudza kwangu kukava kutamba; makabvisa nguo dzangu dzamasaga mukandishongedza nomufaro, kuti mwoyo wangu ukuimbirei ugorega kunyarara. Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndichakuvongai nokusingaperi.

Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, kurumidzai kundinunura; ivai dombo rangu rokuvanda, nhare yakasimba inondiponesa. Sezvo murimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu, nditungamirirei uye mundisesedze nokuda kwezita renyu.

Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni nokuti ndine nhamo; meso angu aneta nokuchema, mwoyo wangu nomuviri wangu zvarwadziwa. Upenyu hwangu hwopera nokurwadziwa, uye namakore angu nokugomera; simba rangu rapera nokuda kwokutambudzika kwangu, uye mapfupa angu arukutika. Nokuda kwavavengi vangu, ndava chinhu chinovengwa navavakidzani vangu; ndava chinhu chinotyisa kushamwari dzangu; vanondiona munzira dzomumisha vanonditiza. Ndakanganwikwa navo sendakafa; ndafanana nehari yakaputsika,

Nguva dzangu dziri mumaoko enyu; ndirwirei kuvavengi vangu nokuna avo vanonditeverera.

Pandakanyarara, mapfupa angu akarukutika nokuda kwokugomera kwangu zuva rose. Nokuti masikati nousiku ruoko rwenyu rwakanga ruchirema pamusoro pangu; simba rangu rakasvetwa sezvinoita kupisa kwechirimo. Sera

Asi meso aJehovha ari pamusoro paavo vanomutya, napamusoro paavo vakaisa tariro yavo murudo rwake rusingaperi, kuti avarwire parufu nokuvararamisa panzara.

Mutumwa waJehovha anokomberedza avo vanomutya, uye anovasunungura.

Meso aJehovha ari pamusoro pavakarurama uye nzeve dzake dzinonzwa kuchema kwavo; chiso chaJehovha chinovenga avo vanoita zvakaipa, kuti abvise chiyeuchidzo chavo panyika. Vakarurama vanodanidzira, uye Jehovha anovanzwa; anovarwira pakutambudzika kwavo kwose. Jehovha ari pedyo navane mwoyo yakaputsika uye anoponesa avo vakapwanyika pamweya. Akarurama angava namatambudziko mazhinji, asi Jehovha anomurwira paari ose; anochengetedza mapfupa ake ose, hakuna nerimwe rawo richavhunika.

Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro, ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.

Haiwa rudo rwenyu rusingatongoperi runokosha sei! Vose vakuru navaduku pakati pavanhu vanovanda mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu. Vanogutswa nezvakawanda zvomumba menyu; munovanwisa kubva parwizi rwenyu runofadza. Nokuti kwamuri ndiko kune chitubu choupenyu; muchiedza chenyu tinoona chiedza.

Asi Ishe anoseka vakaipa nokuti anoziva kuti zuva ravo riri kuuya. Vakaipa vanovhomora munondo uye vanowembura uta kuti vawisire pasi varombo navanoshayiwa, kuti vauraye avo vane nzira dzakarurama. Asi minondo yavo ichabaya mwoyo yavo pachavo, uye uta hwavo huchavhunika.

Cherechedza asina mhosva, ongorora akarurama; ane ramangwana rakanaka munhu worugare.

Mumuviri mangu hamuchina utano nokuda kwehasha dzenyu; mapfupa angu apera simba nokuda kwechivi changu. Mhosva yangu yandiremera somutoro unorema kwazvo kuutakura. Maronda angu aora uye anosemesa nokuda kwoupenzi hwokutadza kwangu. Ndakotamiswa uye ndaderedzwa kwazvo; ndinofamba ndichichema zuva rose. Musana wangu wazara nokupisa kunorwadza; muviri wangu hauchina utano. Ndarukutika uye ndapwanyika chose; ndiri kugomera nokurwadza kwomwoyo. Haiwa Ishe, zvose zvandinoshuva zviri pachena pamberi penyu, kugomera kwangu hakuna kuvanzika kwamuri. Hana yangu inorova, simba rangu rapera; kunyange nechiedza chabva pameso angu.

Bvisai shamhu yenyu kwandiri; ndakundwa nokurova kworuoko rwenyu. Munorayira uye munoranga vanhu nokuda kwezvivi zvavo, munoparadza pfuma yavo sechipfukuto, munhu mumwe nomumwe mweya zvawo.

Regai kundinyima ngoni dzenyu, imi Jehovha; rudo rwenyu nechokwadi chenyu ngazvindidzivirire nguva dzose.

Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere. Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”

Wakasuwireiko, nhai mweya wangu? Unotambudzwa neiko mukati mangu? Isa tariro yako muna Mwari, nokuti ndichamurumbidzazve, Muponesi wangu naMwari wangu. Mweya wangu wakaneta mukati mangu; naizvozvo ndichakurangarirai ndiri kunyika yeJorodhani, pamatunhu akakwirira eHeremoni, kubva paGomo reMizari.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Namaimbirwo earamoti. Rwiyo. Mwari ndiye utiziro hwedu nesimba redu, ndiye mubatsiri anogara aripo panguva yokutambudzika. Naizvozvo hatizotyi, kunyange nyika ikashanduka, uye makomo akawira mukatikati megungwa,

Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti, “Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”

Anondidzikinura ndisina kukuvara kubva pahondo inondirwisa, kunyange zvazvo vazhinji vachindipikisa.

Kanda kufunganya kwako pana Jehovha uye iye achakusimbisa; haazombotenderi vakarurama kuti vawire pasi.

Pandinenge ndotya, ndichavimba nemi. Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi. Ko, munhu anofa angandiitei? Zuva rose vanomonyorora mashoko angu; vanogara vachirangana kundikuvadza. Vanorangana, vanovandira, vanocherechedza mafambiro angu, vachishuva kundiuraya.

Kubva kumigumo yenyika, ndinodanidzira kwamuri, ndinodana sezvo mwoyo wangu woziya; nditungamirirei kudombo rakakwirira kundipfuura.

Ruponeso rwangu nokukudzwa kwangu zvinobva kuna Mwari; ndiye dombo rangu guru, noutiziro hwangu. Vimbai naye nguva dzose, imi vanhu; dururai mwoyo yenyu kwaari, nokuti Mwari ndiye utiziro hwedu. Sera

Pisarema raDhavhidhi paakanga ari murenje reJudha. Haiwa Mwari, ndimi Mwari wangu, ndinokutsvakai nomwoyo wose; mwoyo wangu une nyota kwamuri, muviri wangu unokupangai, munyika yakaoma uye yasakara isina mvura. Ndakakuonai munzvimbo yenyu tsvene, uye ndikaona simba renyu nokubwinya kwenyu. Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai. Ndichakurumbidzai ndichiri mupenyu, uye ndichasimudza maoko angu muzita renyu. Mweya wangu uchagutswa kunge wadya zvakakora kwazvo; muromo wangu uchakurumbidzai nemiromo inofara kwazvo. Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku. Nokuti muri mubatsiri wangu, ndinoimba ndiri mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu. Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.

Baba venherera, mudziviriri wechirikadzi, ndiye Mwari ari paugaro hwake utsvene. Vakanga vari voga Mwari akavagarisa mumhuri, anosesedza vasungwa vachiimba; asi mhandu dzinogara panyika yatsva nezuva.

Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya. Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?

Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.

Kunyange zvakadaro ndinogara nemi nguva dzose; munondibata noruoko rwenyu rworudyi. Munondisesedza nezano renyu, uye pashure muchazonditora mondipinza mukubwinya kwenyu.

Rangarirai kuti upenyu hwangu hunopfuura sei. Nokuti makasikira vanhu vose zvisina maturo! Ko, munhu ndoupi angararama akasaona rufu, kana angazviponesa pasimba reguva? Sera

Munyengetero waMozisi munhu waMwari. Jehovha, imi makava ugaro hwedu kuzvizvarwa zvose.

Uyo anogara panzvimbo yokuvanda yeWokumusoro-soro achazorora mumumvuri weWamasimba Ose. Ndichati pamusoro paJehovha, “Ndiye utiziro hwangu nenhare yangu, Mwari wangu, wandinovimba naye.” Zvirokwazvo achakuponesa parugombe rwomuteyi napadenda rinouraya. Achakufukidza neminhenga yake, uye uchawana utiziro pasi pamapapiro ake; kutendeka kwake kuchava nhoo yako norusvingo rwako. Haungatyiswi nokuvhundutsa kwousiku, kana museve unopfurwa masikati, kana hosha inofamba murima, kana denda rinoparadza masikati. Chiuru chingawa parutivi rwako, zviuru gumi kurudyi pako, asi hazvingaswederi kwauri.

Kana ukaita Wokumusoro-soro ugaro hwako, kunyange Jehovha, iye utiziro hwangu, ipapo hapana chakaipa chichakuwira, hakuna njodzi ichasvika patende rako. Nokuti acharayira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako, kuti vakuchengete panzira dzako dzose; vachakusimudza mumaoko avo, kuti rutsoka rwako rurege kugumburwa padombo. Uchatsika pamusoro peshumba napamusoro pechiva; uchatsika-tsika shumba huru nenyoka. “Nokuti anondida,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “neni ndichamununura; ndichamudzivirira, nokuti anoziva zita rangu. Achadana kwandiri, uye ndichamupindura; ndichava naye pakutambudzika, ndichamurwira uye ndichamukudza. Ndichamugutsa noupenyu hurefu, uye ndichamuratidza ruponeso rwangu.”

Pandakava nokufunganya kukuru mandiri, kunyaradza kwenyu kwakandivigira mufaro kumweya wangu.

Asi Jehovha ndiye ava nhare yangu, uye Mwari wangu ndiye dombo randinotizira.

Pisarema rokuvonga. Danidzirai nomufaro kuna Jehovha, imi nyika dzose. Shumirai Jehovha nomufaro; uyai pamberi pake nenziyo dzomufaro. Zivai kuti Jehovha ndiye Mwari. Ndiye akatisika, uye tiri vake; tiri vanhu vake, namakwai anofudzwa naye. Pindai pamasuo ake nokuvonga nomuvanze dzake nokurumbidza; chimuvongai uye murumbidze zita rake. Nokuti Jehovha akanaka uye rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi; kutendeka kwake kunoramba kuripo kuzvizvarwa zvose.

Munyengetero womunhu anotambudzika. Paanenge aziya uye odurura kuchema kwake pamberi paJehovha. Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Jehovha; kuchemera kwangu rubatsiro ngakusvike kwamuri. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu pandinenge ndichitambudzika. Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri; pandinokudanai, ndipindurei nokukurumidza. Nokuti mazuva angu anopera soutsi; mapfupa angu anopisa samazimbe anopfuta. Mwoyo wangu warohwa uye waoma souswa; ndinokanganwa kudya zvokudya zvangu. Nokuda kwokugomera kwangu kukuru ndaonda zvokuti ganda rangu ranamatira pamapfupa.

Mazuva angu akaita somumvuri wamadekwana; ndinosvava souswa. Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, munogara pachigaro choushe nokusingaperi; mukurumbira wenyu uripo kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu; zvose zviri mukati mangu, ngazvirumbidze zita rake dzvene. Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu, uye urege kukanganwa mikomborero yake yose, iye anokanganwira zvivi zvako zvose, uye anoporesa kurwara kwako kwose, anodzikinura upenyu hwako kubva pagomba, uye anokushongedza korona yorudo netsitsi,

nokuti anoziva kuti takaumbwa sei, anorangarira kuti tiri guruva. Kana ari munhu zvake, mazuva ake akaita souswa, anokura seruva resango; mhepo inorova napamusoro paro onei raenda, uye nzvimbo yaranga riri haicharirangaririzve. Asi kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi, rudo rwaJehovha rwuri pane avo vanomutya, nokururama kwake kuvana vavana vavo,

Akavarwira kakawanda, asi ivo vakanga vakarerekera pakumumukira vakaparadzwa muchivi chavo. Asi akatarisa kutambudzika kwavo paakanzwa kuchema kwavo; akarangarira sungano yake nokuda kwavo, uye akazvidemba nokuda kworudo rwake rukuru. Akaita kuti vanzwirwe tsitsi navose vakavatapa.

Vakava nenzara nenyota, uye upenyu hwavo hwakanga hwoparara. Ipapo vakachema kuna Jehovha pakutambudzika kwavo, akavarwira pakutambura kwavo.

nokuti anogutsa vane nyota, uye vane nzara anovazadza nezvakanaka. Vamwe vakagara murima nokusurikirwa kwakadzama, vari vasungwa vanotambudzika muzvisungo zvamatare, nokuti vakanga vamukira mashoko aMwari uye vakazvidza kurayira kweWokumusoro-soro. Saka akaita kuti vashande zvinorwadza; vakagumburwa, uye pakanga pasina anovabatsira. Ipapo vakachema kuna Jehovha pakutambudzika kwavo, uye akavaponesa pakutambura kwavo. Akavabudisa murima nomukusviba kwakadzika dzika, uye akadambura ngetani dzavo.

Vamwe vakava mapenzi nokuda kwenzira dzavo dzokumukira, uye vakatambudzwa kwazvo nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavo. Vakasema zvokudya zvose, uye vakaswedera pamasuo orufu. Ipapo vakachema kuna Jehovha pakutambudzika kwavo, uye akavaponesa pakutambura kwavo. Akatuma shoko rake uye akavaporesa; akavanunura kubva paguva.

Haiwa mweya wangu, chizorora zvakare, nokuti Jehovha akakuitira zvakanaka. Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, makarwira mweya wangu parufu, meso angu pamisodzi, uye makumbo angu pakugumburwa, kuti ndifambe pamberi paJehovha munyika yavapenyu.

Chinhu chinokosha pamberi paJehovha ndirwo rufu rwavatsvene vake.

Mukurwadziwa kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha, uye akandipindura nokundisunungura. Jehovha aneni; handingatyi. Munhu angandiiteiko?

Zviri nani kutizira kuna Jehovha pano kuvimba nomunhu. Zviri nani kutizira kuna Jehovha pano kuvimba namachinda.

Handingafi asi ndichararama, uye ndichaparidza zvakaitwa naJehovha.

Jehovha akandiranga kwazvo, asi haana kundiisa kurufu.

Ndakaradzikwa pasi muguruva; chengetedzai upenyu hwangu sezvinoreva shoko renyu.

Mweya wangu waziya nokusuwa; ndisimbisei sezvinoreva shoko renyu.

Zvinondinyaradza pakutambura kwangu ndezvizvi: Vimbiso yenyu inochengetedza upenyu hwangu.

Pandakanga ndisati ndatambudzika, ndakatsauka, asi zvino ndinoteerera shoko renyu.

Zvakanga zvakanaka kuti nditambudzike, kuitira kuti ndigodzidza mitemo yenyu.

Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoziva kuti mirayiro yenyu yakarurama, uye kuti makanditambudza mukutendeka kwenyu. Rudo rwenyu rusingaperi ngarutinyaradze, maererano nechivimbiso chenyu kumuranda wenyu. Tsitsi dzenyu ngadziuye kwandiri kuti ndirarame, nokuti murayiro wenyu ndiwo mufaro wangu.

Dai murayiro wenyu wanga usiri mufaro wangu, ndingadai ndakafira mumatambudziko angu. Handichazokanganwi zvamakatema, nokuti nazvo makachengetedza upenyu hwangu.

Ndakatambudzika kwazvo; chengetedzai upenyu hwangu, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira shoko renyu.

Nhamo namatambudziko zviri pamusoro pangu, asi mirayiro yenyu ndiwo mufaro wangu.

Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

Jehovha achakuchengeta pane zvose zvinokuvadza, iye acharinda upenyu hwako; Jehovha achakurinda pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, kubva zvino uye nokusingaperi.

Avo vanodyara nemisodzi vachakohwa nenziyo dzomufaro. Uyo anobuda achichema, akatakura mbeu yokudyara, achadzoka nenziyo dzomufaro, akatakura zvisote.

Ndinomirira Jehovha, mweya wangu unomirira, uye tariro yangu iri mushoko rake. Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndirwirei, imi Jehovha, pavanhu vakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba. Ivo vanofunga urongwa hwakaipa mumwoyo yavo, uye vanomutsa hondo mazuva ose. Vanorodza ndimi dzavo kuti dzipinze sedzenyoka; uturu hwenyoka yechiva huri pamiromo yavo. Sera

Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha akachengetera varombo kururamisirwa kwavo, uye anotsigira vanoshayiwa pamhaka dzavo.

Masikiri raDhavhidhi. Paakanga ari mubako. Munyengetero. Ndinodanidzira nenzwi guru kuna Jehovha; ndinosimudzira inzwi rangu kuna Jehovha, kuti andinzwire nyasha. Ndinodurura kugununʼuna kwangu pamberi pake; ndinotaura nhamo dzangu pamberi pake. Mweya wangu paunoziya mandiri, imi ndimi munoziva nzira yangu. Munzira mandinofamba, vanhu vakandivanzira misungo. Tarirai kurudyi rwangu mugoona; hakuna ane hanya neni. Handina utiziro; hakuna ane hanya noupenyu hwangu. Ndinochema kwamuri, imi Jehovha; ndinoti, “Ndimi utiziro hwangu, nomugove wangu munyika yavapenyu.” Teererai kuchema kwangu, nokuti ndiri pakushayiwa kukuru; ndinunurei kuna avo vanondidzinganisa, nokuti vanondikurira simba. Ndibudisei mutorongo, kuti ndirumbidze zita renyu. Ipapo vakarurama vachandipoteredza nokuda kwokunaka kwenyu kwandiri.

Ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri; mweya wangu unokushuvai senyika yakaoma. Sera Haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundipindura; mweya wangu woziya. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu nokuti ndingazova savaya vakaburukira mugomba.

Jehovha ari pedyo navose vanodana kwaari, kuna vose vanodana kwaari muchokwadi. Anozadzisa zvido zvaavo vanomutya; anonzwa kuchema kwavo uye anovaponesa. Jehovha anochengeta vose vanomuda, asi achaparadza vakaipa vose. Muromo wangu uchataura kurumbidzwa kwaJehovha. Zvisikwa zvose ngazvirumbidze zita rake dzvene nokusingaperi-peri.

Anomiririra zvinodiwa nevakadzvinyirirwa, uye anopa zvokudya vane nzara. Jehovha anosunungura vasungwa. Jehovha anosvinudza mapofu, Jehovha anosimudza avo vakakotamiswa pasi, Jehovha anoda vakarurama. Jehovha anorinda vatorwa uye anoriritira nherera nechirikadzi, asi anokonesa nzira dzavakaipa.

Anoporesa vane mwoyo yakaputsika, uye anosunga maronda avo.

Vimba naJehovha nomwoyo wako wose urege kuzendamira panjere dzako; munzira dzako dzose umutungamidze, uye acharuramisa nzira dzako. Usazviita munhu akachenjera pamaonero ako; itya Jehovha uvenge zvakaipa. Izvi zvichava utano pamuviri wako uye nokusimbiswa kwamapfupa ako.

Mwoyo unopunyaira unoremedza munhu, asi shoko nyoro rinomufadza.

Mwoyo wakafara, unofadza chiso, asi mwoyo une shungu unopwanya mweya.

Mwoyo wakafara mushonga wakanaka, asi mweya wakaputsika unoomesa mapfupa.

Zita raJehovha inhare yakasimba; vakarurama vanomhanyira kwariri vagochengetedzwa.

Mweya womunhu unomusimbisa panguva yokurwara, asi mweya wakapwanyika ndiani angautakura?

Rurimi rune simba roupenyu norufu, uye vaya vanoruda vachadya chibereko charwo.

Kana ukapera simba panguva dzokutambudzika, simba rako ishoma sei! Nunurai avo vari kuiswa kurufu; dzosai avo vari kudzedzereka vachienda kundourayiwa.

Ipai doro kuna avo vari kuparara, newaini kuna avo vari mukurwadziwa: regai vanwe vakanganwe urombo hwavo, uye varege kuzorangarirazve kutambudzika kwavo. “Taurai pachinzvimbo chaavo vasingagoni kuzvitaurira, pamusoro pekodzero dzavose vanoshayiwa.

Chinhu chimwe nechimwe chine nguva yacho, uye basa rimwe nerimwe rine nguva yaro pasi pedenga: nguva yokuberekwa nenguva yokufa, nguva yokusima nenguva yokudzura; nguva yokuuraya nenguva yokuporesa, nguva yokuputsa nenguva yokuvaka; nguva yokuchema nenguva yokuseka, nguva yokuungudza nenguva yokudzana;

Zita rakanaka rinopfuura mafuta anonhuhwira zvakanaka kwazvo, uye zuva rokufa rinopfuura zuva rokuzvarwa. Zviri nani kuenda kuimba yokuchema pano kuenda kuimba yamabiko, nokuti rufu ndiwo mugumo womunhu wose; vapenyu ngavazviise izvi pamwoyo. Kusuwa kunopfuura kuseka, nokuti chiso chinopunyaira chakanakira mwoyo. Mwoyo womuchenjeri uri mumba yokuchema, asi mwoyo yamapenzi iri kuimba yamafaro.

Kana zvinhu zvakanaka, fara; asi kana nguva dzakaipa, rangarira kuti: Mwari ndiye akaita izvozvo zvose zviri zviviri. Naizvozvo, munhu haagoni kuziva chinhu pamusoro peramangwana rake.

Mucharambireiko muchingorohwa? Munorambireiko muchimukira Jehovha? Musoro wenyu wose wakuvadzwa, mwoyo wenyu wose warwadziwa. Kubvira pasi porutsoka rwako kusvikira panhongonya yomusoro wako hapana pakukutu, anongova maronda nokurwadziwa namavanga akazaruka, asina kusukwa kana kusungwa kana kuzorwa mafuta.

Nyika dzose dzazorora uye dzava norugare; votanga kufara nokuimba.

Jehovha acharova Ijipiti nehosha; acharova agovarapazve. Vachatendeukira kuna Jehovha, uye achapindura mikumbiro yavo nokuvarapa.

Naizvozvo muviri wangu wakazara nokurwadziwa; marwadzo akandibata, kufanana nomukadzi ari kusununguka; ndiri kudzedzereka nezvandinonzwa, ndakanganisika nezvandinoona.

Nyika inooma uye inosvava, pasi pose panorwadziwa uye panounyana, vanokudzwa venyika vanopera simba uye vanorwadziwa. Nyika inosvibiswa navanhu vayo; havana kuteerera mirayiro, vakapandukira mitemo uye vakaputsa sungano isingaperi. Naizvozvo chituko chinoparadza nyika, vanhu vayo vanofanira kuzvitakurira mhosva dzavo. Naizvozvo vagari vomunyika vapiswa, uye vashoma ndivo vasara.

Manga muri utiziro hwavarombo, utiziro hwaanoshayiwa mukutambudzika kwake, uye dumba panguva yemvura zhinji nomumvuri pakupisa kwezuva. Nokuti kufema kwavano utsinye kwakafanana nemvura zhinji inorovera parusvingo,

iye achamedza rufu nokusingaperi. Wamasimba Ose achapisika misodzi kubva pazviso zvose; achabvisa kunyadziswa kwavanhu vake panyika yose. Jehovha ataura.

Muchachengeta murugare rwakakwana munhu ane mufungo wakasimba, nokuti anovimba nemi. Vimba naJehovha nokusingaperi, nokuti Jehovha, iye Jehovha ndiye Dombo rokusingaperi.

Jehovha, imi munotigadzirira rugare; zvose zvatakakwanisa ndimi makatiitira.

Asi Jehovha anoshuva kukuitirai nyasha; anosimuka kuti akuratidzei tsitsi. Nokuti Jehovha ndiMwari wokururamisira. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanomurindira! Haiwa imi vanhu veZioni, vanogara muJerusarema, hamuchazochemizve. Achava nenyasha sei pamunochemera rubatsiro! Achingozvinzwa, achakupindurai. Kunyange Ishe achikupai chingwa chenhamo nemvura yokutambudzika, vadzidzi venyu havachazovanzwizve; muchavaona nameso enyu pachenyu. Kunyange mukatendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, nzeve dzenyu dzichanzwa inzwi mumashure menyu, richiti, “Iyi ndiyo nzira, fambai mairi.”

Simbisai maoko asina simba, tsigirai mabvi anodedera; muti kuna avo vane mwoyo inotya, “Simbai, musatya; Mwari wenyu achauya, achauya nokutsiva, nokuripira kutsvene achauya kuzokuponesai.” Ipapo meso amapofu achasvinudzwa uye nzeve dzematsi dzichazarurwa. Ipapo akaremara achakwakuka senondo, uye rurimi rwechimumu ruchaimba nomufaro. Mvura ichatubuka murenje, uye nehova dzemvura mugwenga.

Ipapo pachava nomugwagwa; uchanzi Nzira yoUtsvene. Vane tsvina havangazofambi mairi; ichava yaivavo vanofamba muNzira iyoyo; vakaipa namapenzi havangazofambi mairi. Hapangavi neshumba ipapo, kana chikara chipi zvacho chichawanikwapo. Asi vakadzikinurwa voga ndivo vachafambamo, uye vakasunungurwa vaJehovha vachadzoka. Vachapinda muZioni vachiimba; mufaro usingaperi uchava pamusoro pavo. Vachawana mufaro nokufarisisa, kusuwa nokuneta zvichatiza.

Nyaradzai, nyaradzai vanhu vangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wenyu. Taurai nounyoro kuJerusarema, mudanidzire kwariri kuti kubata kwaro kukuru kwapera, uye kuti chivi charo charipirwa, kuti ragamuchira kubva muruoko rwaJehovha zvakapetwa kaviri pamusoro pezvivi zvaro.

Vachitsvaka mhosva yokupomera Jesu vakamubvunza vakati, “Zviri pamutemo here kuporesa nomusi weSabata?” Akati kwavari, “Kana mumwe wenyu aine gwai, rikawira mugomba nomusi weSabata, haangatambanudzi ruoko rwake akaribudisa here? Ko, zvino munhu anokosha zvakadini pane gwai! Naizvozvo zviri pamutemo kuita zvakanaka nomusi weSabata.” Akati kumurume uya, “Tambanudza ruoko rwako.” Akarutambanudza rukapora rukava sorumwe.

Achiziva izvi, Jesu akabva panzvimbo iyi. Vazhinji vakamutevera, akaporesa varwere vavo vose.

Ipapo vakauya kwaari nomurume akanga akabatwa nedhimoni ari bofu uye ari mbeveve, uye Jesu akamuporesa, zvokuti akagona zvose kutaura nokuona.

Uyo akagamuchira mbeu yakawira parukangarahwe, ndiye munhu anonzwa shoko, pakarepo origamuchira norufaro. Asi nokuti haana mudzi, anongorarama naro kwechinguva chipfupi. Kana nhamo kana kutambudzwa zvauya nokuda kweshoko, anokurumidza kugumburwa.

Paakabuda mugwa, Jesu akaona vanhu vazhinji, akavanzwira tsitsi uye akaporesa varwere vavo.

Uye varume venzvimbo iyoyo vakati vamuziva, vakatumira shoko mudunhu rose rakapoteredza. Vanhu vakauya navarwere vavo vose kwaari vakamukumbira zvikuru kuti abvumire varwere kuti vangobata mupendero wenguo yake uye vose vakamubata vakaporeswa.

Mumwe mukadzi muKenani womunzvimbo iyi akauya achidanidzira achiti, “Ishe, mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni! Mwanasikana wangu ari kutambudzwa zvikuru nedhimoni rakamubata.” Jesu haana chaakapindura. Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari vakasvikoti, “Mudzingei nokuti ari kuramba achidanidzira kwatiri.” Akati kwavari, “Ndakatumwa kumakwai akarasika eIsraeri chete.” Mukadzi uya akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi pake akati, “Ishe, ndibatsireiwo!” Akapindura akati, “Hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana muchichikandira imbwa.” Mukadzi uya akati, “Hongu Ishe, kunyange nembwa dzinodyawo zvimedu zvinodonha kubva patafura yatenzi wadzo.” Ipapo Jesu akapindura akati, “Mai, mune kutenda kukuru! Chikumbiro chenyu chanzwikwa.” Mwanasikana wake akabva aporeswa kubva panguva iyoyo.

Uye vanhu vazhinji vakauya kwaari navakaremara, mapofu, mhetamakumbo, mbeveve navamwe vazhinji, vakasvikovaisa patsoka dzake uye akavaporesa. Vanhu vakashamiswa kuona mbeveve dzichitaura, mhetamakumbo dzichitwasanudzwa, vakaremara vachifamba namapofu achiona. Vakarumbidza Mwari weIsraeri.

Vakati vasvika kuvanhu vazhinji, mumwe murume akauya akasvikopfugama pamberi paJesu akati, “Ishe, donzwiraiwo mwanakomana wangu tsitsi. Ane zvipusha uye ari kutambudzika kwazvo. Kazhinji zvinomuwisira mumoto kana mumvura. Ndauya naye kuvadzidzi venyu asi havana kugona kumuporesa.” Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa, imi rudzi rusingatendi uye rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira rinhiko? Uyai nomukomana uyu kwandiri.” Jesu akatuka dhimoni rikabva rabuda mumukomana uya achibva apora kubva panguva iyoyo.

Akavapindura achiti, “Nokuda kwokuti mune kutenda kudiki. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti dai maiva nokutenda kudiki hako semhodzi yemasitadhi maigona kuti kugomo iri, ‘Ibva apa uende uko,’ zvichiitika. Hapana chamunozokundikana kuita.

Kana ruoko rwako kana kuti rutsoka rwako zvichikuita kuti utadze, zvidimure uzvirasire kure. Zviri nani kupinda muupenyu wakaremara kana kuti uchikamhina, pano kupinda mumoto usingadzimi uine maoko maviri namakumbo maviri. Kana ziso rako richikuita kuti utadze ribvise urirasire kure. Zviri nani kuti upinde muupenyu uine ziso rimwe chete pane kunge uine maziso maviri asi ugokandwa mumoto wegehena.

Nenzira imwe cheteyo Baba venyu vari kudenga havafariri kuti mumwe wavaduku ava arasike.

Varume vaviri vaiva mapofu vakanga vagere parutivi rwenzira, pavakanzwa kuti Jesu ainge opfuura nepo vakadanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!” Vanhu vazhinji vakavatsiura vakavarayira kuti vanyarare, asi ivo vakanyanya kudanidzira vachiti, “Ishe, Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, tinzwireiwo ngoni!” Jesu akamira akavadana, akavabvunza achiti, “Munoda kuti ndikuitireiko?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Ishe, tinoda kuona.” Jesu akavanzwira tsitsi uye akabata meso avo. Pakarepo vakabva vaona uye vakamutevera.

Mapofu navakaremara vakauya kwaari kutemberi, uye akavaporesa.

Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti kana mune kutenda uye musingakahadziki, hamungaiti zvaitwa kumuonde uyu chete, asi munogonawo kuti kugomo iri, ‘Enda undozvikanda mugungwa’ uye zvichaitika. Kana muchitenda, muchagamuchira zvose zvamunokumbira mukunyengetera.”

“Ipapo muchaiswa kuna vanokutambudzai mugourayiwa, uye muchavengwa nendudzi dzose nokuda kwangu. Panguva iyoyo vazhinji vachadzokera shure kubva pakutenda uye vachamukirana vagovengana, uye vaprofita vazhinji venhema vachamuka uye vachanyengera vanhu vazhinji. Nokuda kwokuwanda kwokusarurama, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora. Asi uyo achatsungirira kusvikira kumagumo, achaponeswa.

Nokuti ipapo pachava nenhamo huru isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwenyika kusvika zvino uye haizombovapozve. Dai mazuva iwayo asina kutapudzwa, hapana munhu airarama, asi nokuda kwavasanangurwa, mazuva iwayo achatapudzwa.

ndakanga ndisina zvokupfeka mukandipfekedza, ndakanga ndichirwara mukandipepa, ndakanga ndiri mutorongo mukandishanyira.’

Asi Petro akati kwaari, “Kunyange ndichifanira kufa nemi, handingatongokurambai.” Vamwe vadzidzi vose vakadarowo.

Akatora Petro navanakomana vaZebhedhi vaviri akaenda navo, uye akatanga kusuwa, uye akatambudzika. Ipapo akati kwavari, “Mweya wangu uri kushungurudzika kwazvo kusvika pakufa. Garai pano uye murinde pamwe chete neni.” Akaenda mberi zvishoma, akawira pasi nechiso chake akanyengetera achiti, “Baba vangu, kana zvichibvira mukombe uyu ngaubviswe kwandiri. Asi kwete kuda kwangu asi kuda kwenyu.”

Ipapo akavasunungurira Bharabhasi, asi akaita kuti Jesu arohwe, uye akamupa kwavari kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa.

Vakati vamuroverera pamuchinjikwa, vakagovana nguo dzake vachiita zvokukanda mijenya.

Nenguva inenge yepfumbamwe, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Eroi, Eroi, rama sabhakitani?” zvichireva kuti, “Mwari wangu! Mwari wangu, mandisiyireiko?”

Pakarepo mumwe murume akanga ari musinagoge ravo akanga akabatwa nomweya wakaipa akadanidzira achiti, “Munodeiko kwatiri, imi Jesu weNazareta? Mauya kuzotiparadza here? Ndinoziva kuti ndimi ani, imi Mutsvene waMwari!” Jesu akarayira akati, “Nyarara! Buda maari!” Mweya wakaipa wakamuzunza-zunza ndokubva wabuda maari nenzwi guru.

Ambuya vaSimoni vakanga vavete pamubhedha vachirwara nefivha, uye vakaudza Jesu nezvavo. Saka akaenda kwavari, akabata ruoko rwavo akavabatsira kusimuka. Fivha yakabva mavari vakatanga kuvashandira.

Manheru acho iwayo zuva ravira, vanhu vakauya kuna Jesu navose vairwara navakanga vakabatwa namadhimoni. Guta rose rakaungana pamukova, uye Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere zvakasiyana-siyana. Akadzingawo madhimoni mazhinji, asi akanga asingatenderi madhimoni kuti ataure nokuti akanga achiziva kuti iye ndiani.

Saka akafamba nomuGarirea yose, achiparidza mumasinagoge avo uye achidzinga madhimoni. Mumwe murume akanga ana maperembudzi akauya kwaari akapfugama, akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.” Jesu akamunzwira ngoni, akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uya. Akati, “Ndinoda. Chinatswa!” Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari uye akaporeswa.

Vamwe varume vakasvika, vakauya kwaari nomunhu akanga akafa mutezo, akatakurwa navarume vana. Sezvo vakanga vasingagoni kusvika naye kuna Jesu nokuda kwokuwanda kwavanhu, vakazarura denga reimba pamusoro paJesu uye, vakati variputsa, vakaburutsa nhoo pakanga pavete uya munhu akanga akafa mutezo. Jesu akati aona kutenda kwavo, akati kuno uya akanga akafa mutezo, “Mwanakomana, zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.” Zvino vamwe vadzidzisi vomurayiro, vakanga vagere ipapo, vakafunga mumwoyo yavo vachiti, “Munhu uyu anotaura sei achidaro? Ari kumhura Mwari! Ndianiko anoregerera zvivi asi Mwari oga?” Pakarepo Jesu akazviziva mumweya wake kuti ndizvo zvavakanga vachifunga mumwoyo yavo, uye akati kwavari, “Seiko muchifunga zvinhu izvi? Ndezvipiko zvakareruka: Kuti kuno wakafa mutezo, ‘Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa,’ kana kuti, ‘Simuka, tora nhoo yako ufambe’? Asi kuti muzive kuti Mwanakomana woMunhu ane simba panyika rokuregerera zvivi.” Akati kuna akanga akafa mutezo, “Ndinoti kwauri, simuka, tora nhoo yako uende kumba.” Akasimuka kubva panhoo yake, akatora nhoo yake akafamba akabuda vose vachizviona. Izvi zvakashamisa munhu wose uye vakarumbidza Mwari vachiti, “Hatina kumboona chinhu chakadai!”

Anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati kwavari, “Vasingarwari havatsvaki chiremba, asi vanorwara. Handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi.”

Pane imwe nguva akapinda musinagoge, uye imomo makanga mune murume akanga ane ruoko rwakanga rwakakokonyara. Vamwe vavo vakanga vachitsvaka mhosva yavangapomera Jesu, saka vakamutarisisa kuti vaone kana aizomuporesa nomusi weSabata. Jesu akati kumurume akanga ane ruoko rwakakokonyara, “Simuka umire pamberi pavanhu vose.” Ipapo Jesu akavabvunza akati, “Ndezvipiko zvinotenderwa nomusi weSabata: kuita zvakanaka kana kuita zvakaipa, kuponesa munhu kana kuuraya?” Asi vakaramba vanyerere. Atsamwa, akatarisa vanhu vose vakanga vakamukomberedza, uye ashungurudzwa nokuda kwokusindimara kwemwoyo yavo akati kumurume uya, “Tambanudza ruoko rwako.” Akarutambanudza, uye ruoko rwake rukaporeswa.

Ainge aporesa vazhinji zvokuti vaya vakanga vane zvirwere vakanga vachisundana vachiuya mberi kuti vamubate. Pose paaionekwa nemweya yakaipa, yaiwira pasi pamberi pake uye yaidanidzira ichiti, “Ndimi Mwanakomana waMwari.”

Akasarudza vane gumi navaviri akavati vapostori, kuti vagare naye uye kuti agozovatuma kuti vandoparidza uye kuti vave nesimba rokudzinga madhimoni.

Vamwe vakaita setsanga yakawira parukangarahwe, vanonzwa shoko uye nokukurumidza vorigamuchira nomufaro. Asi sezvo vasina midzi, vanongotsungirira kwenguva pfupi. Panongosvika nhamo kana kutambudzwa nokuda kweshoko, vanokurumidza kuwa.

Dutu rinotyisa rakauya, uye mafungu akarova igwa, zvokuti rakanga rava pedyo nokunyura. Jesu akanga ari mushure megwa, avete pamutsago. Vadzidzi vake vakamumutsa vakati kwaari, “Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya here kana tikanyura?” Akamuka, akarayira mhepo uye akati kumafungu, “Nyarara! Dzikama!” Ipapo mhepo yakapera uye kukadzikama zvikuru. Akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Munotyireiko zvakadai? Hamusati mava nokutenda here?”

Jesu akati abuda mugwa, mumwe murume akanga ano mweya wakaipa akauya achibva kumakuva kuti azosangana naye. Murume uyu aigara kumakuva, uye kwakanga kusisina munhu aigona kumusungazve, kunyange kana nengetani. Nokuti kazhinji aisungwa maoko namakumbo, asi aidambura ngetani napakati uye achivhuna simbi dzaiva pamakumbo ake. Hakuna munhu aiva nesimba rokumukunda. Usiku namasikati aingochema uye achizvicheka-cheka namabwe ari pakati pamakuva uye nomuzvikomo. Akati aona Jesu achiri chinhambwe, akamhanya akandowira namabvi ake mberi kwake. Akadanidzira nenzwi riri pamusoro achiti, “Munodeiko kwandiri, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wokumusoro-soro? Pikai kuna Mwari kuti hamuzonditambudzi!” Nokuti Jesu akanga ati kwaari, “Buda mumunhu uyu, iwe mweya wakaipa!” Ipapo Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Zita rako ndiwe ani?” Akapindura akati, “Zita rangu ndiRegioni, nokuti tiri vazhinji.” Uye akakumbira akumbirazve kuna Jesu kuti arege kuidzinga kubva munyika iyo. Boka guru renguruve raifura riri pazvikomo zvaiva pedyo nenzvimbo iyi. Madhimoni akakumbirisa kuna Jesu akati, “Titumei henyu pakati penguruve, titenderei henyu kuti tinopinda madziri.” Akaatendera, uye mweya yakaipa yakabuda ikaenda ikandopinda munguruve. Boka rinenge zviuru zviviri pakuwanda, rakamhanya richiburukira kumawere rikapinda mugungwa uye rikanyuramo.

Uye pakanga pano mukadzi aiva nechirwere chokubuda ropa kwamakore gumi namaviri. Akanga atambudzika zvikuru uye achirapwa navanachiremba vazhinji uye akanga apedza zvose zvaaiva nazvo, asi pachinzvimbo chokuva nani akatonyanyisa kurwara. Akati anzwa nezvaJesu, akauya mushure make mukati mavazhinji uye akabata nguo yake, nokuti akati mumwoyo make, “Kana ndikangobata nguo dzake, ndichaporeswa.” Pakarepo tsime reropa rake rakapwa uye akanzwa mumuviri wake kuti akanga asunungurwa kubva pakutambudzika kwake.

Jesu achiri kutaura, vamwe varume vakauya vachibva kumba kwaJairosi, mukuru wesinagoge. Vakati, “Mwanasikana wenyu afa. Muchanetsereiko mudzidzisi?” Asina hanya nezvavakanga vataura, Jesu akati kumukuru wesinagoge, “Usatya; tenda bedzi.” Haana kutendera mumwe munhu kuti amutevere kunze kwaPetro, Jakobho naJohani mununʼuna waJakobho. Vakati vasvika pamba pomukuru wesinagoge, Jesu akanzwa mheremhere, vanhu vachichema nokuungudza zvikuru. Akapinda akati kwavari, “Ko, mheremhere ndeyeiko nokuungudza uku? Mwana haana kufa asi avete.” Asi vakamuseka. Mushure mokunge avabudisa vose panze, akatora baba namai vomwana navadzidzi vaakanga anavo, akapinda makanga muno mwana. Akamubata noruoko akati kwaari, “Tarita kumi!” (zvichireva kuti, “Musikana, ndinoti kwauri, muka!”) Pakarepo musikana akasimuka akafamba-famba (akanga ana makore gumi namaviri okuberekwa). Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vakashamiswa zvikuru.

Haana kugona kuita zvishamiso zvipi zvazvo imomo, kunze kwokuisa maoko ake pamusoro pavanhu vashoma vairwara uye nokuvaporesa.

Vakadzinga madhimoni mazhinji uye vakazodza mafuta vanhu vazhinji vairwara uye vakavaporesa.

Vakamhanya nomunyika iyo yose vakatakura vanorwara pamaponde vachienda navo kwavakanga vanzwa kuti ndiko kwaari. Uye pose paakaenda mumisha, mumaguta kana mumaruwa, vakaisa varwere mumisika. Vakamukumbira kuti avabvumire kubata kunyange mupendero wejasi rake, uye vose vakamubata vakaporeswa.

Zvakaitika ndezvokuti, paakangonzwa nezvake, mukadzi aiva nomwanasikana akanga akabatwa nomweya wetsvina akauya akawira patsoka dzake. Mukadzi uyu aiva muGiriki, akaberekerwa muFonishia yomuSiria. Akakumbirisa Jesu kuti adzinge dhimoni mumwanasikana wake. Jesu akati kwaari, “Vana vanofanira kutanga kudya zvavanoda, nokuti hazvina kunaka kutora chingwa chavana uchichikandira kumbwa dzavo.” Iye akapindura akati, “Hongu Ishe, asi kunyange imbwa dziri pasi petafura dzinodya zvimedu zvezvokudya zvavana wani.” Ipapo akati kwaari, “Nokuda kwemhinduro yakadai, enda hako; dhimoni rabva pamwanasikana wako.” Akadzokera kumba kwake akawana mwana wake avete pamubhedha, uye dhimoni raenda.

Ikoko vamwe vanhu vakauya kwaari nomurume akanga ari matsi uye asingagoni kunyatsotaura, uye vakamukumbira kwazvo kuti aise ruoko rwake pamusoro pomurume uyu. Akati aenda naye parutivi, kure noruzhinji, Jesu akaisa minwe yake munzeve dzake. Ipapo akapfira mate akabata rurimi rwomurume uya. Akatarisa kudenga uye nokugomera kukuru akati kwaari, “Efata!” (kureva kuti, “Dziuka!”) Pakarepo, nzeve dzomurume uya dzakadziuka, rurimi rwake rukasunungurwa uye akatanga kutaura zvakanaka. Jesu akavarayira kuti varege kutaurira kana munhu. Asi paakanyanya kuita izvozvo, ndipo pavakanyanya kutaura nezvazvo. Vanhu vakashamiswa zvikuru kwazvo. Vakati, “Akaita zvinhu zvose nenzira yakanaka. Anoita kuti kunyange matsi dzinzwe uye nembeveve dzitaure.”

Vakasvika kuBhetisaidha, uye vamwe vanhu vakauya nomurume akanga ari bofu uye vakakumbira zvikuru kuti Jesu amubate. Akabata murume akanga ari bofu noruoko akamutungamirira kunze kwomusha. Akati apfira mate pamaziso ake Jesu akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake, akamubvunza akati, “Pane zvauri kuona here?” Iye akatarisa kumusoro akati, “Ndinoona vanhu; vanotarisika semiti inofamba-famba.” Jesu akaisazve maoko ake pameso omurume uyu. Ipapo meso ake akasvinudzwa, akadzorerwa kuona kwake, uye akaona zvinhu zvose zvakanaka.

Mumwe murume aiva pakati pavanhu vazhinji akapindura akati, “Mudzidzisi, ndauya kwamuri nomwanakomana wangu, akabatwa nomweya wakamupa umbeveve. Pose pose paunomubata, unomukanda pasi. Anopupuma furo pamuromo, worumanisa meno ake uye anobva aoma. Ndakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge asi havana kugona kuzviita.” Jesu akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko? Ndichakuitirai mwoyo murefu kusvikira riniko? Uyai nomukomana kwandiri.” Saka vakauya naye. Mweya wakati uchiona Jesu, pakarepo wakawisira mukomana pasi ukamubvundisa. Akawira pasi akaumburuka, achipupuma furo pamuromo. Jesu akabvunza baba vomukomana akati, “Ane nguva yakadii achiita izvi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Kubva pauduku hwake. Kazhinji unosimuwisira mumoto kana mumvura kuti umuuraye. Asi kana muchigona kuita chinhu, tinzwirei tsitsi mutibatsire.” Jesu akati, “Kana muchigona? Zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka kune anotenda.” Pakarepo baba vomukomana vakadanidzira vachiti, “Ndinotenda; ndibatsirei pakusatenda kwangu!” Jesu akati aona kuti vanhu vazhinji vakanga vomhanyira panzvimbo iyo, akarayira mweya wakaipa akati, “Iwe mweya woumatsi nomweya woumbeveve, ndinokurayira, buda maari, uye usazopindazve maari.” Mweya wakadanidzira, ukamubvundisa zvikuru uye ukabuda. Mukomana akaita sokunge chitunha zvokuti vazhinji vakati, “Afa.” Asi Jesu akamubata noruoko akamumisa netsoka dzake, uye akakwanisa kumira.

Kana ruoko rwako ruchikuita kuti utadze, rugure. Zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muupenyu uri chirema pano kuti upinde mugehena namaoko maviri, uko kune moto usingadzimwi, umo musingafi honye dzavo uye moto usingadzimwi. Uye kana rutsoka rwako ruchiita kuti utadze, rugure. Zviri nani kwauri kupinda muupenyu uri chirema pano kupinda mugehena namakumbo maviri, umo musingafi honye dzavo uye moto usingadzimwi. Uye kana ziso rako richiita kuti utadze, ribvise. Zviri nani kwauri kuti upinde muumambo hwaMwari neziso rimwe chete pano kuti uve namaziso maviri uye ugokandwa kugehena, uko “ ‘kusingafi honye dzavo uye moto wacho usingadzimwi.’

Ipapo vakasvika kuJeriko. Jesu navadzidzi vake, pamwe chete navanhu vazhinji, vakati vobuda muguta, Bhatimeo, murume akanga ari bofu, (ndiye mwanakomana waTimeo), akanga agere parutivi penzira achipemha. Paakanzwa kuti akanga ari Jesu weNazareta, akatanga kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni!” Vazhinji vakamutsiura uye vakamutaurira kuti anyarare, asi akanyanyisa kudanidzira achiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, ndinzwirei ngoni!” Jesu akamira akati, “Mudanei.” Saka vakadana murume uya bofu vakati, “Tsunga mwoyo! Simuka! Anokudana.” Akakanda jasi rake parutivi, akakwakuka akauya kuna Jesu. Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuti ndikuitirei?” Murume uya bofu akati, “Rabhi, ndinoda kuona.” Jesu akati, “Enda hako, kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.” Pakarepo meso ake akasvinudzwa uye akatevera Jesu munzira.

Jesu akapindura akati, “Ivai nokutenda muna Mwari. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kana munhu akati kugomo iri, ‘Enda, uzvikande mugungwa,’ uye asingakahadziki nazvo mumwoyo make, asi achitenda kuti zvaareva zvichaitika, achazviitirwa. Naizvozvo ndinoti kwamuri, zvose zvamunokumbira mukunyengetera, tendai kuti mazvigamuchira, uye zvichava zvenyu.

“Munofanira kugara makarinda. Muchaendeswa kumatare mugorohwa mumasinagoge avo. Muchamira pamberi pavabati napamberi pamadzimambo nokuda kwangu, sezvapupu kwavari. Uye vhangeri rinofanira kuparidzwa kundudzi dzose. Pose pamunenge masungwa uye mamiswa pakutongwa, musatanga kufunganya pamusoro pezvamuchataura. Taurai zvose zvose zvamunenge mapiwa panguva iyoyo, nokuti hamusimi munotaura, asi Mweya Mutsvene. “Mukoma achaurayisa mununʼuna, uye baba vachadarowo mwana wavo. Vana vachamukira vabereki vavo uye vachavaurayisa. Vanhu vose vachakuvengai nokuda kwangu, asi uyo anotsungirira kusvikira kumagumo achaponeswa.

Asi Petro akaramba akasimbisisa achiti, “Kunyange dai ndichifanira kufa nemi, handizombokurambai.” Uye vamwe vose vakadarowo.

Akatora Petro, Jakobho naJohani pamwe chete naye, akatanga kushungurudzika zvikuru uye akatambudzika. Akati, “Mweya wangu wazara neshungu kwazvo kusvikira pakufa. Garai pano uye murambe makarinda.” Akati aenda chinhambwe zvishoma, akawira pasi akanyengetera kuti kana zvichibvira nguva iyi ipfuure, ibve kwaari. Akati, “Abha, Baba, zvinhu zvose zvinogoneka kwamuri. Bvisai mukombe uyu kwandiri. Asi kwete kuda kwangu, asi kuda kwenyu.”

Achida kufadza vanhu, Pirato akasunungura Bharabhasi. Akaita kuti Jesu arohwe, uye akamuendesa kuti andorovererwa.

Uye vakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa. Vakagovana nguo dzake, vakakanda mijenya kuti vaone kuti mumwe nomumwe angawanei. Yakanga iri nguva yechitatu pavakamuroverera.

Uye panguva yepfumbamwe, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Eroi, Eroi, rama sabhakitani?” zvinoreva kuti “Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiyireiko?”

Uye zviratidzo izvi zvichatevera vanotenda: Vachadzinga mweya yakaipa muzita rangu, vachataura nendimi itsva; vachabata nyoka namaoko avo, uye kunyange vakanwa muchetura unouraya haungavakuvadzi napaduku; vachaisa maoko avo pamusoro pavarwere, uye vachapora.”

“Mweya waShe uri pamusoro pangu, nokuti akandizodza kuti ndiparidze vhangeri kuvarombo. Akandituma kuti ndiparidze rusununguko kuna vakasungwa uye kuti vasingaoni vaone, kuti ndisunungure vakamanikidzwa,

Musinagoge makanga muno murume akanga akabatwa nedhimoni, mweya wakaipa, uye akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “A! Munodeiko kwatiri imi Jesu weNazareta? Ko, mauya kuzotiparadza kanhi? Ndinoziva kuti muri ani, muri Mutsvene waMwari!” Jesu akaurayira achiti, “Nyarara! Buda maari!” Ipapo dhimoni rakaputsira murume uyu pasi pamberi pavo vose rikabuda risina kumukuvadza. Vanhu vose vakashamiswa vakataurirana vachiti, “Kudzidzisa uku ndokupi? Anorayira mweya yakaipa nechikuriri uye nesimba, ichibva yabuda!”

Jesu akabva pasinagoge akaenda kumba kwaSimoni. Zvino mai vomukadzi waSimoni vairwara nefivha, uye vakakumbira Jesu kuti avabatsire. Saka akakotamira kwavari akarayira fivha, ikabva pavari. Vakasimuka pakarepo vakatanga kuvashandira.

Zuva rakati rodoka, vanhu vakauya kuna Jesu navose vakanga vana marudzi akasiyana-siyana ezvirwere, akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pomumwe nomumwe wavo akavaporesa.

Jesu paakanga achiri mune rimwe ramaguta, mumwe murume akanga azere namaperembudzi akauya. Akati achiona Jesu, akawira pasi nechiso chake akamukumbira zvikuru achiti, “Ishe, kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.” Jesu akatambanudza ruoko rwake akabata murume uyu akati, “Ndinoda, chinatswa!” Pakarepo maperembudzi akabva paari.

Asi mukurumbira wake wakapararira kwazvo, zvokuti vanhu vazhinji zhinji vakauya kuzomunzwa uye kuti vaporeswe zvirwere zvavo.

Vakati vashayiwa nzira yokupinda nayo nokuda kwokuwanda kwavanhu, vakakwira pamusoro pedenga vakamuburutsa ari parukukwe rwake nepamapfiriro, pakati pavanhu, pamberi paJesu chaipo. Jesu akati aona kutenda kwavo, akati, “Shamwari, zvivi zvako zvaregererwa.” VaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakatanga kufunga vachiti, “Ndianiko munhu uyu anotaura achimhura Mwari. Ndianiko anoregerera zvivi kunze kwaMwari chete?” Jesu aiziva zvavaifunga uye akabvunza achiti, “Seiko muchifunga zvinhu izvi mumwoyo yenyu? Ndezvipiko zvakareruka: kuti, ‘Zvivi zvako zvaregererwa,’ kana kuti, ‘Simuka ufambe’?

Jesu akavapindura akati, “Vasingarwari havatsvaki chiremba, asi vanorwara. Handina kuuya kuzodana vakarurama, asi vatadzi kuti vatendeuke.”

Rimwezve Sabata akapinda musinagoge uye aidzidzisa, zvino pakanga pano murume akanga ano ruoko rwake rworudyi rwakanga rwakakokonyara. VaFarisi navadzidzisi vomurayiro vakanga vachitsvaka mhosva yokupomera Jesu, saka vakamutarisisa kuti vaone kana aizoporesa nomusi weSabata. Asi Jesu aiziva zvavaifunga uye akati kumurume akanga ano ruoko rwakakokonyara, “Simuka umire pamberi pavanhu vose.” Saka iye akasimuka akamira ipapo. Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinokubvunzaiwo kuti chiiko chinobvumirwa kuitwa nomusi weSabata: kuita zvakanaka kana kuita zvakaipa, kuponesa upenyu kana kuhuparadza?” Akatarisa kwavari vose, ndokuti kumunhu uya, “Tambanudza ruoko rwako.” Iye akaita saizvozvo, uye ruoko rwake rukatwasanuka.

Akaburuka navo akandomira panzvimbo yakanga yakaenzana. Ungano huru yavadzidzi vake yakanga iripo uye navanhu vazhinji vaibva muJudhea yose, vaibva kuJerusarema, uye navaibva kumuganhu weTire neSidhoni, vakanga vauya kuzomunzwa uyewo kuti vazoporeswa pazvirwere zvavo. Vaya vakanga vachimanikidzwa nemweya yakaipa vakaporeswa, uye vanhu vose vakaedza kumubata, nokuti simba rakanga richibuda maari richivaporesa vose.

Makaropafadzwa imi vane nzara zvino, nokuti muchaguta. Makaropafadzwa imi munochema zvino, nokuti muchaseka. Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikuvengai, vachikutsaurai uye vachikutukai, vachiramba zita renyu vachiti rakaipa, nokuda kwoMwanakomana woMunhu. “Farai pazuva iro uye mupembere nomufaro, nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga. Ndiwo matambudzirwo akaitwa vaprofita namadzibaba avo.

Imomo maiva nomuranda womukuru wezana, aidiwa chose natenzi wake, akanga achirwara uye ava kuda kufa. Mukuru wezana akanzwa nezvaJesu uye akatuma vamwe vakuru vavaJudha kwaari, achimukumbira kuti auye kuzoporesa muranda wake. Vakati vasvika kuna Jesu, vakamukumbira zvikuru vachiti, “Murume uyu akafanira kuti mumuitire izvi, nokuti anoda rudzi rwedu uye ndiye akavaka sinagoge redu.” Naizvozvo Jesu akaenda navo. Akanga asiri kure nomusha pakatumwa shamwari nomukuru wezana kuti dzinoti kwaari, “Ishe, musazvinetsa zvenyu, nokuti handina kukodzera kuti imi mupinde mumba mangu. Ndokusaka ndisina kumbofunga kuti ini ndive nekodzero yokuuya kwamuri. Asi, taurai henyu shoko, uye muranda wangu achapora. Nokuti ini pachangu, ndiri munhu ari pasi pavamwe, uye ndine varwi vari pasi pangu. Ndinoti kuno uyu, ‘Enda,’ uye anoenda, kuno mumwe, ‘Uya’ uye anouya. Ndinoti kumuranda wangu, ‘Ita ichi,’ uye anochiita.” Jesu akati anzwa izvi, akashamiswa kwazvo naye, akatendeukira kuvanhu vazhinji vaimutevera akati, “Ndinoti kwamuri, handina kumboona kutenda kwakadai kunyange muIsraeri.” Ipapo varume vaya vakanga vatumwa vakadzokera kumba vakawana muranda uya apora.

Kuzoti ave kuswedera pasuo reguta, munhu akafa akanga akatakurwa achiburitswa kunze, aingova mwanakomana mumwe chete wamai vake, uye vakanga vari chirikadzi. Uye vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaibva muguta vaiva navo. Ishe akati achivaona, mwoyo wake wakavanzwira tsitsi, akati kwavari, “Musachema.” Ipapo akaswedera pedyo akabata hwanyanza, uye vaya vakanga vakamutakura vakamira. Akati, “Jaya, ndinoti kwauri, muka!” Munhu uya akanga afa akamuka akagara akatanga kutaura, uye Jesu akamupa kuna mai vake.

Panguva iyoyo Jesu akaporesa vazhinji vakanga vane zvirwere, matenda nemweya yakaipa uye akasvinudza vazhinji vakanga vari mapofu. Saka akapindura nhume achiti, “Dzokerai munoudza Johani zvamaona nezvamanzwa zvokuti: Mapofu anosvinudzwa, zvirema zvinofamba, vaya vana maperembudzi vanoporeswa, matsi dzinonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa uye vhangeri riri kuparidzwa kuvarombo.

uye vamwewo vakadzi vakanga vaporeswa pazvirwere nemweya yakaipa vaiti: Maria (ainzi Magadharena) uya akanga abudiswa mweya yakaipa minomwe maari,

Pavakanga vachifamba, akavata. Dutu guru rakauya mugungwa, zvokuti igwa rakanga rava kunyura, uye vakanga vava munjodzi huru. Vadzidzi vakaenda vakandomumutsa vachiti, “Tenzi, Tenzi, tava kunyura!” Ipapo akamuka akarayira mhepo namafungu emvura zhinji, dutu rikaserera, uye kukadzikama kwazvo. Akabvunza vadzidzi vake akati, “Kutenda kwenyu kuripiko?” Mukutya kwavo nokushamiswa kwavo, vakabvunzana pakati pavo vachiti, “Ndianiko uyu? Anorayira kunyange mhepo nemvura zvichimuteerera.”

Vakasvika kunyika yavaGerase, iri mhiri kwegungwa reGarirea. Jesu akati ayambuka gungwa, akasangana nomurume akanga akabatwa nedhimoni achibva muguta. Murume uyu akanga asingapfeki nguo kwenguva refu kana kugara mumba, asi aigara kumakuva. Akati aona Jesu, akadanidzira akawira pamakumbo ake, akati nenzwi guru, “Munodeiko kwandiri, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari Wokumusoro-soro? Ndinokukumbirisai, regai kunditambudza!” Nokuti Jesu akanga arayira mweya wakaipa kuti ubude maari. Kazhinji waimubata, uye kunyange akange akasungwa nengetani mumaoko nomumakumbo uye akarindwa, aidambura ngetani obva aendeswa nedhimoni kurenje. Jesu akamubvunza akati, “Zita rako ndiwe ani?” Akapindura akati, “Regioni,” nokuti madhimoni mazhinji akanga apinda maari. Uye akaramba achimunyengetedza kuti arege kuarayira kuti aende kugomba rakadzika. Pakanga pane boka guru renguruve raifura mujinga mechikomo. Madhimoni akakumbirisa Jesu kuti aabvumire kupinda madziri, akaatendera. Madhimoni akati abuda mumunhu uyo akandopinda munguruve, uye boka renguruve rakamhanyira kumawere kugungwa rikanyuramo.

Uye paiva nomumwe mukadzi aiva nechirwere chokubuda ropa kwamakore gumi namaviri, asi kusina munhu aigona kumuporesa. Akauya neshure kwaJesu akabata mupendero wenguo yake, pakarepo kubuda kweropa kukabva kwaguma.

Jesu achiri kutaura, mumwe aibva kumba kwaJairosi, mubati wesinagoge, akasvika akati, “Mwanasikana wenyu afa. Chiregai henyu kuramba muchinetsa mudzidzisi.” Jesu akati anzwa izvi, akati kuna Jairosi, “Usatya; tenda chete, achaporeswa.” Akati asvika kumba kwaJairosi, haana kutendera ani zvake kuti apinde naye kunze kwaPetro, Johani naJakobho, uye nababa namai vomwana. Panguva iyi, vanhu vose vainge vachiungudza uye vachimuchema. Jesu akati, “Nyararai kuchema. Haana kufa asi avete.” Vakamuseka, nokuti vaiziva kuti akanga afa. Asi akamubata ruoko akati, “Mwanangu, muka!” Mweya wake wakadzokera maari, pakarepo akasimuka. Ipapo Jesu akavarayira kuti vamupe zvokudya.

asi vazhinji vakazviziva vakamutevera. Akavagamuchira akataura kwavari nezvoumambo hwaMwari, akaporesa avo vakanga vachida kuporeswa.

Mumwe murume akanga ari pakati pavanhu vazhinji akadanidzira achiti, “Mudzidzisi, ndinokukumbirai kuti muonewo mwanakomana wangu, nokuti ndiye oga mwana wangu. Mweya wakaipa unomubata pakarepo oridza mhere; wobva womubvundisa achipupuma furo pamuromo. Haudi kumuregedza uye unomuparadza. Ndakakumbira vadzidzi venyu kuti vaudzinge, asi vakasagona.” Jesu akapindura akati, “Haiwa rudzi rusingatendi, rwakatsauka, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko ndichikuitirai mwoyo murefu? Uyai pano nomwanakomana wenyu.” Kunyange pakanga pachiuya mukomana, dhimoni rakamuwisira pasi rikamubvundisa. Asi akarayira mweya wakaipa, akaporesa mukomana ndokubva amudzosera kuna baba vake.

Jesu akati kwavari, “Mubvisei nguo dzomuguva mumurege aende.”

“Mwoyo yenyu ngairege kutambudzika. Tendai kuna Mwari; mutendewo kwandiri. Mumba maBaba vangu mune nzvimbo zhinji dzokugara; dai zvaiva zvisizvo, ndingadai ndakuudzai. Ndiri kuenda ikoko kundokugadzirirai nzvimbo.

Uye ndichaita zvose zvamunokumbira muzita rangu, kuitira kuti Mwanakomana avigire Baba kukudzwa. Kana mukakumbira chinhu chipi zvacho muzita rangu, ndichachiita.

Ndinokusiyirai rugare; ndinokupai rugare rwangu. Handikupei sokupa kwenyika. Mwoyo yenyu ngairege kutambudzika uye musatya.

Kana muchigara mandiri uye mashoko angu achigara mamuri, kumbirai zvose zvamunoda, uye muchazvipiwa. Baba vangu vanokudzwa naizvozvo kuti mubereke zvibereko zvakawanda, muchizviratidza kuti muri vadzidzi vangu.

Ndakuudzai izvi kuitira kuti mufaro wangu uve mamuri uye kuti mufaro wenyu uve wakakwana.

Naizvozvo nemiwo zvino inguva yenyu yokusuwa, asi ndichakuonai zvakare uye muchafara, uye hakuna achakutorerai mufaro wenyu. Pazuva iro hamuzondibvunzizve kana chinhu. Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Baba vangu vachakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira muzita rangu. Kusvikira zvino hamusati matombokumbira kana chinhu muzita rangu. Kumbirai uye muchapiwa, uye mufaro wenyu uchava wakazara.

“Ndakuudzai zvinhu izvi, kuitira kuti muve norugare mandiri. Panyika muchatambudzika. Asi tsungai mwoyo! Ini ndakakunda nyika.”

Ipapo Pirato akatora Jesu akaita kuti arohwe.

Pakupedzisira Pirato akamuisa mumaoko avo kuti arovererwe. Saka varwi vakatora Jesu. Akatakura muchinjikwa wake, akabuda akaenda kunzvimbo yeDehenya (zvichireva kuti Gorogota muchiHebheru). Ipapo ndipo pavakamuroverera pamuchinjikwa navamwe vaviri, mumwe kuno rumwe rutivi nomumwe kuno rumwe rutivi, uye Jesu ari pakati.

Akati anwa Jesu akati, “Zvapera.” Nokudaro, akakotamisa musoro wake uye akabudisa mweya wake.

uye sezvinoreva rumwe Rugwaro runoti, “Vachatarisa iye wavakabaya.”

Uye ani naani anodana kuzita raShe achaponeswa.’

Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runofarisisa; uyezve muviri wangu uchararama netariro, nokuti imi hamuzondisiyi muguva, uye hamungaregi Mutsvene wenyu achiona kuora. Makandizivisa nzira dzoupenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro pamberi penyu.’

Ipapo Petro akati, “Sirivha negoridhe handina, asi chandinacho ndinokupa. Muzita raJesu Kristu weNazareta, simuka ufambe.” Akamubata noruoko rworudyi, akamubatsira kuti asimuke, pakarepo tsoka dzomurume uyu nezviziso zvetsoka dzake zvikasimba. Akakwakuka, akamira, uye akatanga kufamba. Ipapo akapinda navo mutemberi, achifamba uye achisvetuka-svetuka, achirumbidza Mwari. Vanhu vose vakati vachimuona achifamba achirumbidza Mwari,

Nokuda kwaizvozvo, vanhu vakauya navairwara munzira dzomumisha vakavaradzika pamibhedha napahukwe vachiitira kuti mumvuri waPetro uwire pane vamwe vavo paainge ava kupfuura napavari. Vanhu vazhinji zhinji vaibva mumaguta akapoteredza Jerusarema vakaunganawo, vakauya navarwere vavo navaya vaitambudzwa nemweya yakaipa, uye vose vakaporeswa.

Ipapo muprista mukuru navamwe vose vaaiva navo, avo vakanga vari nhengo dzebato ravaSadhusi, vakazadzwa negodo. Vakasunga vapostori vakavaisa mujeri. Asi mutumwa waShe akauya usiku akazarura mukova wejeri akavabudisa, akati, “Endai, mundomira muzvivanze zvetemberi, mugoudza vanhu mashoko ose oupenyu hutsva uhu.”

Vapostori vakabva paDare Guru, vachifara nokuda kwokuti vakanga vanzi vakafanira kutambudzwa nokunyadziswa nokuda kweZita iri.

Asi Sauro akatanga kuparadza kereke. Achipinda muimba neimba, akazvuzvurudza varume navakadzi achivaisa mutorongo. Vaya vakanga vaparadzirwa vakaparidza shoko kwose kwose kwavaienda.

Vanhu vazhinji vakati vanzwa Firipi uye vakaona zviratidzo zvaakaita, vose vakanyatsoteerera kune zvaaitaura. Nokuti mweya yetsvina yakabuda muvanhu ichidanidzira nenzwi guru, uye vazhinji vakanga vakaoma mitezo navakanga vakaremara vakaporeswa. Nokudaro kwakava nomufaro mukuru muguta iro.

zvokuti Mwari akazodza sei Jesu Kristu weNazareta noMweya Mutsvene nesimba, uye kuti akapota sei nenyika achiita zvakanaka achiporesa vose vakanga vari pasi pesimba radhiabhori, nokuti Mwari aiva naye.

Mushure mokumusunga, akamuisa mutorongo, akaita kuti arindwe namapoka mana avarwi, boka rimwe nerimwe riina varwi vana. Herodhi akanga achida kumumisa padare rokutongwa shure kwePasika. Saka Petro akachengetwa mutorongo, asi kereke yakanga ichimunyengeterera zvikuru kuna Mwari. Usiku hwaaifanira kumiswa pamberi pedare naHerodhi husati hwasvika, Petro akanga avete pakati pavarwi vaviri, akasungwa nengetani mbiri, uye varindi vakanga vakamira vakarinda vari pamukova. Pakarepo mutumwa waShe akaonekwa uye chiedza chakavhenekera muchitokisi. Akarova Petro parutivi ndokumumutsa achiti, “Kurumidza muka!” Ipapo ngetani dzakawa pamaoko aPetro. Mutumwa akati kwaari, “Pfeka nguo dzako neshangu dzako.” Uye Petro akaita saizvozvo. Mutumwa akati kwaari, “Monera jasi rako ubve wanditevera.” Petro akamutevera achibuda mutorongo, asi akanga asingazivi kuti zvaiitwa nomutumwa zvakanga zvichitoitika; akafunga kuti aiona chiratidzo. Vakapfuura napavarindi vokutanga nevechipiri ndokusvika pasuo resimbi rakanga rakatarira kuguta. Rakangovazarukira roga, vakapinda nepariri. Vakati vafamba kusvika kumagumo kweimwe nzira, pakarepo mutumwa akamusiya.

vachisimbisa vadzidzi nokuvakurudzira kuti varambe vari pakutenda. Vakati, “Tinofanira kutambudzika kuti tipinde muumambo hwaMwari.”

Ungano yakabatana pakurwisa Pauro naSirasi, uye vatongi vakarayira kuti nguo dzavo dzibvarurwe uye kuti varohwe. Shure kwokurohwa zvikuru, vakaiswa mutorongo, uye muchengeti wetorongo akarayirwa kuti avachengetedze kwazvo.

Akati agamuchira kurayira uku, akavaisa muchitokisi chomukati akasungirira tsoka dzavo pamatanda. Panenge pakati pousiku, Pauro naSirasi vakanga vachinyengetera uye vachiimba nziyo kuna Mwari, uye vamwe vasungwa vakanga vakavateerera. Pakarepo pakava nokudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru zvokuti nheyo dzetorongo dzakazungunuka. Kamwe kamwe masuo etorongo akazaruka, uye ngetani dzavanhu vose dzakasununguka. Muchengeti wetorongo akamuka, uye paakaona masuo etorongo azaruka akavhomora munondo wake akada kuzviuraya nokuti akafunga kuti vasungwa vakanga vapunyuka. Asi Pauro akadanidzira achiti, “Usazvikuvadza! Tiri muno tose!” Muchengeti wetorongo akadanidzira kuti mwenje itungidzwe, akapinda achimhanya ndokusvikowira pamberi paPauro naSirasi achidedera. Ipapo akavabudisa kunze akati kwavari, “Vakuru, ndingaita sei kuti ndiponeswe?”

Mwari akaita mabasa anoshamisa kubudikidza naPauro, zvokuti kunyange nehangachepfu namaapuroni akanga ari pamuviri wake zvakaendeswa kuvarwere, zvirwere zvavo zvikaporeswa uye mweya yakaipa ikabva pavari.

Ndakashumira Ishe nokuzvininipisa zvikuru uye nemisodzi, kunyange ndakaedzwa zvikuru nerangano dzavaJudha.

“Zvino ndamanikidzwa noMweya, ndiri kuenda kuJerusarema, ndisingazivi hangu zvichaitika kwandiri. Chandinongoziva ndechokuti muguta rimwe nerimwe Mweya Mutsvene anondiyambira kuti kusungwa nokutambudzika zvakandirindira. Zvisinei hazvo, ini handioni upenyu hwangu sechinhu chinokosha, dai bedzi ndapedza nhangemutange yangu uye ndapedzisa basa randakapiwa naIshe Jesu, basa rokupupura vhangeri renyasha dzaMwari.

Mune zvose zvandakaita, ndakakuratidzai kuti namabatiro akaoma aya, tinofanira kubatsira vasina simba, tichirangarira mashoko aShe Jesu pachake paakati, ‘Kupa kwakaropafadzwa kupfuura kugamuchira.’ ”

Ipapo Pauro akapindura akati, “Seiko muchichema uye muchirwadzisa mwoyo wangu? Ini ndakagadzirira kwete kusungwa kwoga, asi kufawo muJerusarema nokuda kwezita raIshe Jesu.” Paakaramba kudziviswa, isu takamurega tikati, “Kuda kwaShe ngakuitwe.”

Baba vake vakanga vachirwara vavete pamubhedha, vachirwadziwa nefivha uye vane manyoka aibudisa ropa. Pauro akapinda kuti andovaona, uye shure kwokunyengetera, akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pavo akavaporesa. Izvi zvakati zvaitika, vairwara vose vomuchitsuwa vakauya vakaporeswa.

Kwete izvozvo bedzi, asi tinofarawo mumatambudziko edu, nokuti tinoziva kuti kutambudzika kunouyisa kutsungirira, kutsungirira kunouyisa unhu uye unhu hunouyisa tariro. Uye tariro hainyadzisi nokuti Mwari akadurura rudo rwake mumwoyo yedu kubudikidza naMweya Mutsvene, uyo waakatipa.

Asi Mwari anoratidza rudo rwake kwatiri pakuti: Tichiri vatadzi, Kristu akatifira. Zvino sezvo takaruramisirwa neropa rake, tichaponeswa zvikuru sei naye kubva pakutsamwa kwaMwari! Nokuti kana, patakanga tiri vavengi vaMwari, takayananiswa naye kubudikidza norufu rwoMwanakomana wake, tichaponeswa zvikuru sei kubudikidza norufu rwoMwanakomana wake, tichaponeswa zvikuru sei kubudikidza noupenyu hwake, kana tayananiswa! Nokuti hazvisizvo bedzi, asi kuti tinofarawo muna Mwari nokuna Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu, watakapiwa zvino naye kuyananiswa.

Naizvozvo, chivi sezvachakapinda munyika nomunhu mumwe, norufu rukapinda nechivi, uye nenzira iyi rufu rwakauya kuvanhu vose, nokuti vose vakatadza,

Ko, hamuzivi here kuti isu tose vaya vakabhabhatidzwa muna Kristu Jesu takabhabhatidzwa murufu rwake? Naizvozvo takavigwa naye kubudikidza nokubhabhatidzwa murufu kuitira kuti, sokumutswa kwakaitwa Kristu kubva kuvakafa nokubwinya kwaBaba, nesuwo tirarame upenyu hutsva. Nokuti kana takabatanidzwa naye zvakadai murufu rwake, zvirokwazvo tichabatanawo naye mukumuka kwake. Nokuti tinoziva kuti munhu wedu wakare akarovererwa pamuchinjikwa pamwe chete naye kuti muviri wechivi ushayiswe simba, kuti tirege kuvazve varanda vechivi, nokuti uyo anenge afa asunungurwa kubva kuchivi.

Zvino kana takafa naKristu, tinotenda kuti tichararamawo pamwe chete naye. Nokuti sezvo tichiziva kuti Kristu akamutswa kubva kuvakafa, haachazofizve; rufu harusisina simba pamusoro pake. Rufu rwaakafa, akafa kuchivi kamwe chete zvikabva zvapera; asi upenyu hwaanorarama, anoraramira Mwari. Nenzira imwe cheteyo, nemiwo munofanira kuziva kuti makafa kuchivi, asi muri vapenyu kuna Mwari muna Kristu Jesu. Naizvozvo musatendera chivi kuti chibate ushe mumuviri wenyu unofa, kuti muteerere kuchiva kwacho. Musapa mitezo yomuviri wenyu kuchivi, kuti ive nhumbi dzokuita zvisakarurama, asi zvipei kuna Mwari, savaya vakabviswa kurufu vachiiswa kuupenyu; uye ipai mitezo yomuviri wenyu kwaari ive nhumbi dzokururama.

Zvino makawaneiko panguva iyoyo kubva pazvinhu zvamunonyadziswa nazvo, iye zvino? Nokuti kuguma kwazvo ndirwo rufu! Asi zvino makasunungurwa kubva kuchivi uye mava varanda vaMwari, zvibereko zvamunokohwa zvinoisa kuutsvene, uye kuguma kwazvo ndihwo upenyu husingaperi muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.

Nokuti mubayiro wechivi ndirwo rufu, asi chipo chaMwari chokungopiwa ndihwo upenyu husingaperi muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.

Ndiri munhu ari pakutambudzika kwakadii! Ndiani achandinunura kubva mumuviri uno worufu?

Naizvozvo zvino, hakuchina kupiwa mhosva kuna vari muna Kristu Jesu, nokuti kubudikidza naKristu Jesu murayiro woMweya woupenyu wakandisunungura kubva pamurayiro wechivi norufu. Nokuti zvakanga zvisingakwaniswi kuitwa nomurayiro pakushayiswa simba kwawo nomunhu wechivi, Mwari akazviita nokutuma Mwanakomana wake mumufananidzo wemunhu wechivi kuti ave chipiriso chechivi. Uye akapa mhosva kuchivi chiri mumunhu wechivi, kuitira kuti kururama kunodiwa nomurayiro kuzadziswe matiri, isu tisingafambi maererano nenyama asi maererano noMweya. Nokuti vaya vanorarama namararamiro enyama, pfungwa dzavo dzinofunga zvinodiwa nenyama; asi vaya vanorarama namararamiro oMweya, pfungwa dzavo dzinofunga zvoMweya. Nokuti kufunga kwomunhu wechivi ndirwo rufu, asi kufunga kunotongwa noMweya ndihwo upenyu norugare; nokuti kufunga kwenyama kunovenga Mwari. Hakuzviisi pasi pomurayiro waMwari, uye hakugoni kuzviita. Avo vanotongwa nenyama havagoni kufadza Mwari.

Asi imi hamutongwi nenyama asi noMweya, kana Mweya waMwari achigara mamuri. Uye kana munhu asina Mweya waKristu, haazi waKristu, Asi kana Kristu ari mamuri, muviri wenyu wakafa nokuda kwechivi, asi Mweya wenyu mupenyu nokuda kwokururama. Uye kana Mweya waiye akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa uchigara mamuri, iye akamutsa Kristu kubva kuvakafa achapawo upenyu kumiviri yenyu inofa kubudikidza noMweya wake unogara mamuri.

Naizvozvo, hama, tine mungava, asi kwete wenyama, kuti tirarame maererano nezvainoda. Nokuti kana muchirarama maererano nezvinodiwa nenyama, muchafa, asi kana muchirarama noMweya munouraya mabasa akaipa omuviri, uye muchararama, nokuti vaya vanotungamirirwa noMweya waMwari ndivo vana vaMwari. Nokuti hamuna kugamuchira mweya wouranda kuti muitwezve varanda vokutya, asi makagamuchira Mweya wokuitwa vana, uya watinodana naye tichiti, “Abha, Baba.” Mweya amene anopupurirana noMweya wedu kuti tiri vana vaMwari. Zvino kana tiri vana, naizvozvo tiri vadyi venhaka pamwe chete naye kuitira kuti tigozokudzwawo pamwe chete naKristu, kana zvirokwazvo tichitambudzika pamwe chete naye kuitira kuti tigozokudzwawo pamwe chete naye.

Nokuti ndinoti matambudziko atinawo nguva ino haana kufanira kuenzaniswa nokubwinya kuchazoratidzwa kwatiri. Nokuti zvisikwa zvinotarisira zvikuru zvichimirira kuratidzwa kwavanakomana vaMwari. Nokuti zvisikwa zvakaiswa pasi pokudzungaira kukuru, zvisingadi hazvo, asi nokuda kwaiye akazviisa pasi pokudzungaira, mutariro yokuti zvisikwa pachazvo zvichazosunungurwa kubva pauranda hwokuora uye zvigoiswa pakusunungurwa kwokubwinya kwavana vaMwari. Tinoziva kuti zvisikwa zvose zvinogomera sokurwadza kwokuzvara mwana kusvikira panguva ino. Kwete izvozvo chete, asi nesuwo, vane zvibereko zvokutanga zvoMweya, tinogomera mukati medu tichimirira zvikuru kuitwa kwedu vana, iko kudzikinurwa kwemiviri yedu. Nokuti mutariro iyi takaponeswa. Asi tariro inoonekwa haizi tariro zvachose. Ndiani anotarisira chaanacho kare? Asi kana tine tariro yechinhu chatisina, tinochimirira nokutsungirira.

Saizvozvowo, Mweya anotibatsira mukusava nesimba kwedu. Nokuti hatizivi zvatinofanira kunyengeterera, asi Mweya amene anotinyengeterera nokugomera kusingatsananguriki namashoko. Uye iye anonzvera mwoyo yedu anoziva kufunga kwaMweya, nokuti Mweya anonyengeterera vatsvene maererano nokuda kwaMwari.

Uye tinoziva kuti muzvinhu zvose Mwari anoita kuti zviitire zvakanaka kuna avo vanomuda, vaya vakadanwa sezvaakafunga. Nokuti avo Mwari vaakaziva kare, ndivo vaakatemerawo kare, kuti vafanane nomufananidzo woMwanakomana wake, kuti agova dangwe pakati pehama dzake zhinji. Uye vaya vaakatemera kare, ndivo vaakadanawo; vaya vaakadana, ndivo vaakaruramisirawo; vaya vaakaruramisira, ndivo vaakakudzawo.

Zvino tichatiiko pazvinhu izvi? Kana Mwari ari kurutivi rwedu, ndiani angatirwisa? Iye asina kuramba noMwanakomana wake, asi akamupa chose nokuda kwedu tose, angarega seiko kutipawo zvose, pamwe chete naye? Ndianiko achapa mhosva avo vakasarudzwa naMwari? Mwari ndiye anoruramisira. Ndianiko achavapa mhosva? Kristu Jesu, ndiye akafa pamusoro pezvo, ndiye akamutswa akava mupenyu, ari kurudyi rwaMwari, uye anotinyengetererawo.

Ndianiko achatiparadzanisa norudo rwaKristu? Kutambudzika here, kana nhamo, kana kutambudzwa, kana nzara, kana kushayiwa zvokupfeka, kana njodzi, kana munondo? Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Nokuda kwenyu tinotarisana norufu zuva rose; tinoitwa samakwai anofanira kubayiwa.”

Kwete, pazvinhu zvose izvi tiri vakundi nokupfuurisa kubudikidza naiye akatida. Nokuti ndinoziva kwazvo kuti kunyange rufu, kana upenyu, kana vatumwa, kana madhimoni, kana zvazvino, kana zvichauya, kana masimba api zvawo, kana kwakakwirira, kana kwakadzika, kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho pazvisikwa zvose, hazvingagoni kutiparadzanisa norudo rwaMwari, rwuri muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu.

Ndinotaura chokwadi muna Kristu, handirevi nhema, hana yangu inondipupurira muMweya Mutsvene ndino kusuwa kukuru kwazvo neshungu dzisingaperi mumwoyo mangu. Nokuti ndinoshuva kuti dai ini pachangu ndaiva munhu akatukwa uye ndakaparadzaniswa naKristu nokuda kwehama dzangu, ivo vorudzi rwangu,

Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Tarira, ndinoisa paZioni ibwe rinogumbusa kuvanhu, nedombo rinovapinganidza kuti vawe, uye uyo anotenda kwaari haazonyadziswi.”

Sezvinorehwa noRugwaro ruchiti: “Ani naani anotenda kwaari haanganyadziswi.” Nokuti hapana musiyano pakati pomuJudha noweDzimwe Ndudzi, nokuti Ishe mumwe ndiye Ishe wavose uye anovaropafadza kwazvo vose vanodana kwaari, nokuti “Ani naani anodana kuzita raShe achaponeswa.”

Naizvozvo, ndinokumbira zvikuru kwamuri, hama dzangu, netsitsi dzaMwari, kuti mupe miviri yenyu sechibayiro chipenyu, chitsvene uye chinofadza Mwari, uku ndiko kunamata kwenyu kwomweya.

Farai mutariro, tsungirirai pakutambudzika, rambai muchinyengetera. Goveranai navanhu vaMwari vanoshayiwa. Itirai vaeni rudo. Ropafadzai vanokutambudzai; ropafadzai musatuka. Farai navanofara; chemai navanochema.

Kana tichirarama, tinoraramira Ishe; uye kana tichifa tinofira Ishe. Saka, kana tichirarama kana kufa tiri vaShe. Nokuda kwaizvozvo, Kristu akafa uye akamuka kuti ave Ishe wavose vakafa navapenyu.

Mwari wetariro ngaakuzadzei nomufaro wose norugare pamunovimba naye, kuti muve netariro izere, nesimba raMweya Mutsvene.

Kuna vasina simba ndakava sendisina simba, kuti ndiwane vaya vasina simba. Ndakava zvose kuvanhu vose kuitira kuti ndiponese vamwe nemitoo yose inogoneka.

Kana tikatongwa naShe, tiri kurangwa kuitira kuti tirege kuzoraswa pamwe chete nenyika.

kuitira kuti parege kuva nokupesana pamuviri, asi kuti mitezo ichengetane zvakaenzana. Kana mumwe mutezo uchitambudzika, mitezo yose inotambudzika pamwe chete nawo; kana mutezo mumwe ukakudzwa, mitezo yose inofara pamwe chete nawo.

Nokuti Mwari haasi Mwari wenyonganyonga asi worugare. Sezvinoitwa mune dzimwe kereke dzose dzavatsvene,

Nokuti, sokufa kwakaita vanhu vose muna Adhamu, naizvozvowo muna Kristu vose vachaitwa vapenyu.

Muvengi wokupedzisira achaparadzwa ndirwo rufu.

Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa. Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapo tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.” “Kuripiko kukunda kwako iwe rufu? Rwuripiko rumborera rwako, iwe rufu?”

Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari naBaba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, ivo Baba vengoni naMwari wokunyaradza kwose, ivo vanotinyaradza pamatambudziko edu ose, kuti tigone kunyaradza avo vari mumatambudziko nokunyaradza kwatakawana isu kubva kuna Mwari. Nokuti sokuwanda kunoita matambudziko aKristu muupenyu hwedu, ndiko kuwandawo kunoita kunyaradzwa kwedu naKristu. Kana tichitambudzika, zvinoitirwa kunyaradzwa kwenyu noruponeso rwenyu, kana tichinyaradzwa, zvinoitirwa kunyaradzwa kwenyu, kunobereka mamuri kutsungirira pamatambudziko iwayo atinotambudzika nawo. Uye tariro yedu kwamuri yakasimba, nokuti tinoziva kuti sezvamunogoverana nesu mumatambudziko edu, saizvozvowo muchagoverana nesu mukunyaradzwa kwedu.

Hatidi kuti murege kuziva, hama, pamusoro pamatambudziko akatiwira tiri mudunhu reEzhia. Takaremerwa kwazvo, kupfuura zvatakagona kutsungirira, zvokuti takati takanga tofa. Zvirokwazvo mumwoyo medu takanzwa kuti takanga tatongerwa rufu. Asi izvi zvakaitika kuti tirege kuvimba nesimba redu asi naMwari, anomutsa vakafa. Akatidzikinura padambudziko guru rorufu rakadai, uye achatidzikinura. Paari ndipo pane tariro yedu kuti acharamba achitidzikinura,

Asi pfuma iyi tinayo mumidziyo yevhu kuratidza kuti simba iri rinopfuura zvose rinobva kuna Mwari kwete kwatiri. Tinomanikidzwa kumativi ose, asi hatipwanyiwi; tinokanganiswa, asi hatina kuora mwoyo; tinotambudzwa, asi hatina kusiyiwa; takawisirwa pasi, asi hatina kuparadzwa. Tinoramba tichitakura nguva dzose mumuviri wedu kufa kwaJesu, kuti upenyu hwaJesu huratidzwewo mumuviri wedu. Nokuti isu vapenyu tinoramba tichiiswa kurufu nokuda kwaJesu, kuti upenyu hwake huratidzwe mumuviri wedu unofa. Saka naizvozvo kufa kunobata matiri, asi upenyu hunobata mamuri.

Naizvozvo hatiori mwoyo. Kunyange zvazvo kunze tichiparara, asi mukati tiri kuvandudzwa zuva nezuva. Nokuti chiedza chedu nokutambudzika kwedu kwechinguva chiduku zviri kutiitira kubwinya kusingaperi, kukuru kupfuura zvose. Naizvozvo hatitarisi zvinoonekwa, asi zvisingaonekwi. Nokuti zvinoonekwa zvinopfuura, asi zvisingaonekwi zvinogara nokusingaperi.

Zvino tinoziva kuti kana imba yedu yapanyika yatinogara mairi iyi yaparadzwa, tine imba inobva kuna Mwari, imba isina kuvakwa namaoko avanhu, inogara nokusingaperi kudenga. Pari zvino tinogomera, tichishuva kupfekedzwa muviri wedu wokudenga,

Naizvozvo tinotsunga mwoyo nguva dzose uye tinoziva kuti kana tichigara mumuviri, tiri kure naIshe. Tinorarama nokutenda, kwete nokuona. Ndinoti tinotsunga mwoyo, kuti, zviri nani kubva mumuviri ndive kumusha naShe.

Nokuti rudo rwaKristu runotimanikidza, nokuti tinoziva kuti mumwe chete akafira vose, uye naizvozvo vose vakafa. Uye iye akafira vose, kuitira kuti vose vasazviraramira asi vararamire iye akavafira akamutswazve kubva kuvakafa. Saka kubva zvino hatitongozivi munhu namaziviro enyika. Kunyange zvedu takaziva Kristu kare nenzira iyi, hatichamuziva saizvozvo.

Naizvozvo kana munhu ava muna Kristu, ava chisikwa chitsva; zvakare zvapfuura, zvinhu zvose zvava zvitsva!

Asi savaranda vaMwari tinozvirumbidza pane zvakanaka munzira dzose: mukutsungirira kukuru, mumatambudziko, mukuomerwa, uye nemunhamo; mukurohwa, kusungwa nomubope; mukushanda zvakaoma, mukusavata nokushayiwa zvokudya; mukuchena, kunzwisisa, mwoyo murefu nengoni muMweya Mutsvene uye nomurudo rwechokwadi;

tinozivikanwa tichionekwa setisingazivikanwi; tinofa, asi tichiramba tichirarama, tinorohwa asi hatifi; savanochema, asi tichigara tichifara; savarombo, asi tichipfumisa vazhinji; setisina chinhu, asi tinazvo zvose.

Handitauri izvi kuti ndikupei mhosva; ndakambotaura kare kuti imi muri mumwoyo yedu zvokuti tingagona kurarama kana kufa pamwe chete nemi. Ndinovimba nemi zvikuru; ndinozvirumbidza zvikuru nokuda kwenyu. Ndinokurudzirwa zvikuru; mumatambudziko edu ose mufaro wangu hauna magumo.

Nokuti patakasvika kuMasedhonia, muviri wedu uyu hauna kuwana zororo, asi takatambudzwa kumativi ose, zvaiti kukakavara kunze, nokutya nechomukati. Asi Mwari anonyaradza vakaora mwoyo, akatinyaradza pakauya Tito,

Nokuti kusuwa kwoumwari kunouyisa kutendeuka uko kunotungamirira kuruponeso uye hakuuyisi kudemba, asi kusuwa kwenyika kunouyisa rufu.

Pazvinhu zvose mazviratidza kuti hamuna mhosva panyaya iyi.

Pakati pokuedzwa kukuru, mufaro wavo mukuru nokushayiwa kwavo kukuru zvakaita kuti vape zvizhinji.

Uye Mwari anogona kuita kuti nyasha dziwande kwamuri, kuitira kuti muzvinhu zvose, panguva dzose, muine zvose zvamunoda, muchakwanisa kuita mabasa ose akanaka. Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Akaparadzira zvipo zvake kuvarombo; kururama kwake kunogara nokusingaperi.” Zvino iye anopa mbeu kumudyari nechingwa chokudya achakupaiwo uye achakupaiwo mbeu zhinji mudura renyu uye agokupaiwo kukohwa kukuru kwokururama kwenyu. Muchapfumiswa pane zvose kuti mugogona kupa panguva dzose, uye kubudikidza nesu kupa kwenyu kuchaita kuti Mwari avongwe.

Ndakabata basa nokutambura uye nguva zhinji ndichishayiwa hope; ndinoziva nzara nenyota uye kushayiwa zvokudya nguva zhinji; chando nokushayiwa chokupfeka. Kunze kwaizvozvi zvose, ndinoremedzwa zuva rimwe nerimwe nokurangarira kereke dzose. Ndianiko anoshayiwa simba uye ndikasanzwa kushayiwa simba? Ndianiko anotungamirirwa muchivi uye ndikasarwadziwa mukati mangu? Kana ndichifanira kuzvirumbidza, ndichazvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinhu zvinoratidza utera hwangu.

Ndichazvirumbidza pamusoro pomunhu akadai, asi handingazvirumbidzi pachangu, kunze kwoutera hwangu.

Kuti ndirege kunyanya kuzvikudza nokuda kwoukuru kwazvo hwezvandakazarurirwa, ndakapiwa munzwa munyama yangu, mutumwa waSatani, kuti unditambudze. Katatu ndakakumbira kuna Ishe kuti aubvise pandiri. Asi iye akati kwandiri, “Nyasha dzangu dzakakukwanira, nokuti simba rangu rinozadziswa muutera.” Naizvozvo ndichanyanya kuzvirumbidza pamusoro poutera hwangu, kuitira kuti simba raKristu rigova pamusoro pangu. Ndokusaka, nokuda kwaKristu ndichifara muutera, mukutukwa, mumatambudziko, munhamo, nomukuomerwa. Nokuti kana ndine utera, ipapo ndipo pandine simba.

Uye Mwari akatimutsa pamwe chete naKristu akatigarisa kudenga muna Kristu Jesu,

Nokuda kwaizvozvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nokuda kwenyu imi veDzimwe Ndudzi:

Sezvo ndiri musungwa waShe, zvino ndinokukurudzirai kuti murarame upenyu hwakafanira kudanwa kwamakagamuchira. Muzvininipise zvachose uye mupfave; muite mwoyo murefu, muchiitirana mwoyo murefu murudo.

Nokuti hatirwi nenyama neropa, asi navabati, navanesimba, namasimba enyika ino yerima uye namasimba emweya yakaipa ari muchadenga. Naizvozvo shongai nhumbi dzose dzokurwa nadzo dzaMwari, kuti panosvika zuva rakaipa, mugokwanisa kumira, uye mushure mokunge maita zvinhu zvose, kuti mumire.

Munyengeterere neniwo, kuti pose pandinoshama muromo wangu, ndipiwe mashoko kuitira kuti ndigozivisa chakavanzika chevhangeri ndisingatyi, iro randiri nhume yakasungwa nengetani. Nyengeterai kuti ndiritaure ndisingatyi, sezvandinofanira.

Nokuti kwandiri, kurarama ndiKristu uye kufa kupfuma. Kana ndikaramba ndichirarama mumuviri, izvi zvichareva kubata kune zvibereko kwandiri. Asi ndichasarudzeiko? Handizivi! Ndiri pakati pezvinhu zviviri zvinoti: Ndinoda kuenda kuti ndive naKristu, zvinova ndizvo zviri nani nokupfuuridza;

Nokuti makapiwa imi, nokuda kwaKristu, kuti musangotenda kwaari bedzi, asi kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwake,

Zvechokwadi akanga achirwara, uye akapotsa afa. Asi Mwari akava nengoni naye, uye kwete kwaari oga asi kwandiriwo, kuti ndirege kuva nokusuwa pamusoro pokusuwa.

Nokuti tisu vokudzingiswa, tisu tinonamata noMweya waMwari, vanozvirumbidza muna Kristu Jesu, uye vasingavimbi nenyama,

Musafunganya pamusoro pechimwe chinhu, asi muzvinhu zvose, kumbirai Mwari neminyengetero, nemikumbiro uye nokuvonga. Uye rugare rwaMwari, runopfuura kunzwisisa kwose, rucharinda mwoyo yenyu nemifungo yenyu muna Kristu Jesu.

Ndakadzidza chakavanzika chokugutsikana mune zvipi zvazvo uye mumamiriro ose zvawo, kungava kuguta kana kunzwa nzara, kana kuva nezvakawanda kana kushayiwa. Ndinogona kuita zvinhu zvose kubudikidza naiye anondipa simba. Asi makaita zvakanaka kuti makagovana neni mumatambudziko angu.

Uye Mwari wangu achazadzisa zvamunoshayiwa zvose maererano nokubwinya kwepfuma yake muna Kristu Jesu.

Uye zvakabva zvaita saizvozvo, sezvamunoziva kwazvo. Nokuda kwaizvozvo, pandakanga ndisisagoni kutsunga, ndakatuma shoko kuti ndizive nezvokutenda kwenyu. Ndakatya kuti zvimwe muedzi angadaro akakuedzai uye kubata kwedu kukava pasina.

Isu tinotenda kuti Jesu akafa uye akamukazve, nokudaro isu tinotenda kuti Mwari achauyisa pamwe chete naJesu avo vakavata maari. Samashoko aShe pachake, tinokuudzai kuti isu vachiri vapenyu, vachasara kusvikira pakuuya kwaShe, zvirokwazvo hatizotangiri avo vakavata.

Naizvozvo, pakati pekereke dzaMwari tinozvirumbidza pamusoro pokutsungirira kwenyu uye nokutenda kwenyu nomukutambudzika kwose nokuedzwa kwamunotsunga makuri. Zvose izvi ndizvo zvinoratidza kuti kutonga kwaMwari kwakarurama, uye nokuda kwaizvozvi muchanzi makafanirwa noumambo hwaMwari, ihwo hwamunotamburira. Mwari anoruramisira: Achatsiva nokutambudza avo vanokutambudzai, uye agozorodza imi vari kutambudzika, uye nesuwo. Izvi zvichaitika Ishe Jesu paacharatidzwa kubva kudenga mumurazvo womoto unopfuta ane vatumwa vake vane simba.

Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu pachake uye Mwari Baba vedu, iye akatida uye nenyasha dzake akatipa upenyu husingaperi, kurudziro netariro yakanaka, ngaakurudzire mwoyo yenyu uye akusimbisei mumabasa nomumashoko ose akanaka.

Zvino Ishe worugare ngaakupei rugare nguva dzose nomunzira dzose.

Nokuti hatina kuuya nechinhu panyika, uye hatigoniwo kubuda nechinhu kubva mairi. Asi kana tine zvokudya nezvokupfeka, tichagutsikana nazvo.

Nokuti Mwari haana kutipa mweya wokutya, asi mweya wesimba, neworudo newokuzvidzora.

Saka usanyadziswa nokupupura Ishe wedu, kana kunyadziswa neni musungwa wake. Asi utambudzike pamwe chete neni nokuda kwevhangeri, nesimba raMwari, akatiponesa uye akatidanira kuupenyu hutsvene, kwete nokuda kwechinhu chatakaita asi kuti nokuda kwake iye, uye nenyasha. Nyasha idzi takadzipiwa muna Kristu Jesu nguva dzisati dzavapo, asi zvino dzakaratidzwa nokuonekwa kwoMuponesi wedu Kristu Jesu, akaparadza rufu uye akabudisa pachena upenyu nokusafa kubudikidza nevhangeri. Uye ndakaitwa muparidzi, mupostori nomudzidzisi wevhangeri iri. Ndokusaka ndichitambudzika sezvandiri kuita. Asi handinyadziswi, nokuti ndinoziva wandakatenda, uye ndinoziva kwazvo kuti anogona kuchengeta chandakamupa kusvikira zuva iroro.

randinotambudzikira kunyange kusvikira pakusungwa segororo. Asi shoko raMwari harina kusungwa. Naizvozvo ndinotsungirira pazvinhu zvose nokuda kwavasanangurwa, kuti naivowo vawane ruponeso rwuri muna Kristu Jesu, nokubwinya kusingaperi. Herino shoko rechokwadi: Kana takafa pamwe chete naye, tichararamawo pamwe chete naye; kana tikatsungirira, tichabata ushe pamwe chete naye. Kana tikamuramba, iye achatirambawo;

Asi kunyange zvakadaro, iwe unoziva kudzidzisa kwangu kwose, mararamiro angu, chinangwa changu, kutenda kwangu, mwoyo murefu wangu, norudo, nokutsungirira, matambudziko, nhamo, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitika kwandiri muAndioki, Ikoniamu nomuRistra, nokutambudzwa kwose kwandakasangana nako. Asi Ishe akandinunura kubva pazviri zvose. Zvirokwazvo munhu wose anoda kurarama upenyu hwoumwari muna Kristu Jesu achatambudzwa,

Asi iwe, usvinure pazvinhu zvose, tsungirira pamatambudziko, uite basa romuvhangeri, uite mabasa ose oushumiri hwako.

Nokuti ini ndava kutodururwa sechipiriso chinonwiwa, uye nguva yangu yokuenda yasvika. Ndarwa kurwa kwakanaka, ndapedza nhangemutange yangu, ndachengeta kutenda kwangu. Zvino ndakachengeterwa korona yangu yokururama, yandichapiwa, naIshe, mutongi akarurama pazuva iro, uye kwete ini ndoga, asiwo nokuna vose vanoshuva kuonekwa kwake.

Pakuzvidavirira kwangu kwokutanga, hapana munhu akandibatsira, asi vose vakandisiya. Ngavarege kupiwa mhosva nokuda kwaizvozvo. Asi Ishe akamira neni uye akandipa simba, kuti kubudikidza neni shoko riparidzwe zvakakwana uye kuti veDzimwe Ndudzi vose varinzwe. Uye ndakarwirwa kubva pamuromo weshumba. Ishe achandirwira kubva pakurwiswa kwose kwakaipa uye achandiuyisa murugare kuumambo hwake hwokudenga. Kubwinya ngakuve kwaari nokusingaperi-peri. Ameni.

Sezvo vana vane ropa nenyama, naiyewo akagovana navo pakuva nyama kwavo, kuitira kuti rufu rwake ruparadze iye ane simba rorufu, iye dhiabhori uye agosunungura vaya vakanga vakasungwa muuranda upenyu hwavo hwose nokutya kwavo rufu.

Nokuti iye amene akatambudzika paakaedzwa, anokwanisa kubatsira vanoedzwa.

Naizvozvo, sezvo chipikirwa chokupinda muzororo rake chichiripo, ngatichenjerei kuti kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu angatadza kusvikako. Nokuti nesuwo takanzwa vhangeri richiparidzwa kwatiri, saivo; asi shoko ravakanzwa harina kuvabatsira, nokuti ivo vakarinzwa havana kuribatanidza nokutenda. Zvino isu tinotenda tinopinda muzororo iroro, sezvakareva Mwari achiti, “Naizvozvo ndakapika mhiko mukutsamwa kwangu, kuti, ‘Havazopindi muzororo rangu.’ ” Uye kunyange zvakadaro basa rake akapedza kubva pakusikwa kwenyika. Nokuti pane imwe nzvimbo akataura mashoko aya pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe. “Zvino pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akazorora kubva pabasa rake rose.” Uyezve mundima iri pamusoro anoti, “Havazopindi muzororo rangu.” Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vachapinda muzororo iroro, uye vaya vakatanga kuparidzirwa vhangeri kare havana kupinda, nokuda kwokusateerera kwavo. Naizvozvo Mwari akaisazve rimwe zuva rinonzi Nhasi, paakataura kare kubudikidza naDhavhidhi, sezvazvakataurwa pakutanga zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu.” Nokuti dai Joshua akanga avapa zororo, Mwari angadai asina kuzotaurazve nezverimwe zuva. Naizvozvo richiripo, zororo reSabata ravanhu vaMwari;

Nokuti hatina muprista mukuru asingagoni kutinzwira tsitsi pautera hwedu, asi tinaye akaedzwa pazvinhu zvose, sesu, asi asina chivi. Ngatiswederei tisingatyi pachigaro choushe chenyasha, kuitira kuti tigogamuchira ngoni uye tigowana nyasha, tibatsirwe panguva yokushayiwa.

Pamazuva oupenyu hwaJesu panyika, akauya kuna iye akanga achigona kumurwira parufu neminyengetero nemikumbiro, achichema nokuchema kukuru nemisodzi, uye akanzwika nokuda kwokutya kwake Mwari. Kunyange zvake akanga ari mwanakomana, akadzidza kuteerera kubva pakutambudzika kwake

Rangarirai mazuva okutanga mushure mokugamuchira chiedza, amakatsunga pakurwa kukuru mukutambudzika. Pane dzimwe nguva makatukwa uye mukatambudzwa pachena; pane dzimwe nguva makagovana navo vakaitirwawo izvozvo. Makanzwira tsitsi avo vakanga vari mutorongo mukagamuchira nomufaro kupambwa kwenhumbi dzenyu, nokuti maiziva kuti imi pachenyu makanga mune pfuma yakapfuura nokunaka uye inogara. Naizvozvo regai kurasa kusatya kwenyu, kuno mubayiro mukuru. Munofanira kutsungirira kuitira kuti kana maita kuda kwaMwari mugogamuchira zvaakavimbisa. Nokuti kanguva kaduku duku kasara, “Iye anouya, achauya, asinganonoki. Asi akarurama wangu achararama nokutenda. Uye kana akadzokera shure, handizofadzwi naye.”

Uye nokudaro kubva pamunhu mumwe, akanga oita seafa, kwakava nezvizvarwa zvakawanda senyeredzi dzokudenga, zvisingaverengeki sejecha pamahombekombe egungwa.

Vanhu ava vose vakanga vachirarama nokutenda kusvikira panguva yokufa. Havana kuwana zvinhu zvavakavimbiswa; vakangozviona chete vakazvigamuchira zviri kure. Uye vakabvuma kuti ivo vakanga vari vaeni navatorwa panyika.

Nokutenda Mozisi akati akura, akaramba kunzi mwanakomana womwanasikana waFaro. Akasarudza kutambudzwa pamwe chete navanhu vaMwari pano kufadzwa kwenguva duku namafaro ezvivi. Akati kuzvidzwa nokuda kwaKristu ipfuma huru kupfuura kupfuma kwose kweIjipiti, nokuti akanga achitarira mberi kumubayiro. Nokutenda akabva muIjipiti asingatyi kutsamwa kwamambo; akatsungirira nokuti akanga aona iye asingaonekwi.

Uye ndichataureiko zvimwe? Handichina nguva yokutaura pamusoro paGidheoni, Bharaki, Samusoni, Jefuta, Dhavhidhi, Samueri, navaprofita, vakakunda ushe nokutenda, vakatonga nokururamisira, uye vakawana zvakanga zvavimbiswa; vakadzivira miromo yeshumba, vakadzima simba romoto, uye vakapunyuka kubva pamunondo unopinza, utera hwavo hwakashandurwa hukava simba uye vakava nesimba guru pakurwa vakakunda hondo dzamamwe marudzi. Vakadzi vakagamuchirazve vakanga vafa vavo vamutswa kuti vave vapenyu zvakare. Vamwe vakatambudzwa vakaramba kusunungurwa, kuitira kuti vagozopiwa kumuka kuri nani pakunaka. Vamwe vakasekwa uye vakarohwa, uyezve vamwe vakasungwa vakaiswa mutorongo. Vakatakwa namabwe; vamwe vakaitwa zvidimbu zviviri; vakaurayiwa nomunondo. Vakafamba vakapfeka matehwe amakwai namatehwe embudzi, vasina chinhu, vakatambudzwa uye vakaitirwa zvakaipa, nyika yakanga isina kufanirwa navo. Vaidzungaira murenje nomumakomo, mumapako nomumakomba enyika. Vose ava vakapupurirwa kutenda kwavo, asi hapana kana mumwe wavo akagamuchira zvakanga zvavimbiswa. Mwari akanga atigadzirira chimwe chinhu chiri nani pakunaka, kuitira kuti ivo pamwe chete nesu tigoitwa vakakwana.

Naizvozvo nesuwo, zvatakakomberedzwa negore rezvapupu rakakura rikadai, ngatibvisei zvose zvinoremedza, nechivi chinongotinamatira nyore, uye ngatimhanyei nokutsungirira, nhangemutange yatakaisirwa. Tichitarira kuna Jesu muvambi nomukwanisi wokutenda kwedu; iye akatsunga pamuchinjikwa nokuda kwomufaro wakaiswa pamberi pake, akashora kunyadziswa kwawo, uye akandogara kurudyi rwechigaro choushe chaMwari. Cherechedzai iye akatsunga pakupikiswa kwakadai navatadzi, kuti imi murege kuneta nokupera simba mumwoyo menyu.

Mukurwa kwenyu nechivi, hamusati madzivisa kusvikira pakubuda ropa. Uye makanganwa shoko rokukurudzira rinotaura kwamuri savanakomana richiti: “Mwanakomana wangu, usazvidza kuranga kwaShe, uye usaora mwoyo kana uchirangwa naye, nokuti Ishe anoranga uyo waanoda, uye anorova munhu wose waanogamuchira somwanakomana.” Tsungai pamatambudziko sokurangwa; Mwari anokubatai imi savanakomana. Nokuti ndoupiko mwanakomana asingarangwi nababa vake? Kana musingarangwi (vamwe vose vachirangwa), naizvozvo muri vana vasiri chaivo uye hamusi vanakomana vechokwadi. Uyezve, isu tose tina madzibaba edu epanyama anotiranga uye tinovakudza nokuda kwaizvozvo. Ko, tingazviisa zvikuru sei pasi paBaba vemweya yedu tigorarama! Madzibaba edu aitiranga kwenguva duku sezvavaifunga kuti zvakafanira; asi Mwari anotiranga kuti zvitibatsire, kuti tigogoverwa utsvene hwake. Hakuna kurangwa kunofadza panguva yacho, asi kuti kunorwadza. Asi, zvisinei, pashure kunobereka gohwo rokururama norugare kuna avo vakadzidziswa nako.

Naizvozvo, simbisai maoko akaneta namabvi anoshayiwa simba. “Gadzirirai tsoka dzenyu nzira dzakarurama,” kuitira kuti anokamhina arege kuva akaremara, asi kuti aporeswe.

Rangarirai vaya vari mutorongo somunenge makasungwa pamwe chete navo, uye navaya vanoitirwa zvakaipa sokunge imi pachenyu ndimi muri kutambudzwa.

Musakarira mari pamagariro enyu uye mugutsikane nezvamunazvo, nokuti Mwari akati: “Handingatongokusiyei; handingatongokurasei.” Saka tinotsunga mwoyo, tichiti: “Ishe ndiye mubatsiri wangu, handingatyi. Munhu angandiiteiko?”

Uye naizvozvo Jesu akatambudzikawo ari kunze kwesuo reguta kuti aite kuti vanhu vave vatsvene kubudikidza neropa rake. Naizvozvo, ngatiendei kwaari kunze kwomusasa, titakure kunyadziswa kwake. Nokuti pano hatina guta ratichagara, asi isu tinotsvaka richauya.

Naizvozvo, kubudikidza naJesu ngatirambei tichipa kuna Mwari chibayiro chokumurumbidza, ndicho chibayiro chemiromo inopupura zita rake. Uye musakanganwa kuita zvakanaka nokugoverana navamwe, nokuti Mwari anofadzwa nezvibayiro zvakadai.

Hama dzangu, muti mufaro chaiwo, pose pamunosangana nemiedzo mizhinji yemhando dzose, nokuti munoziva kuti kuedzwa kwokutenda kwenyu kunobereka kutsungirira. Kutsungirira kunofanira kupedza basa rako kuitira kuti imi mukure uye muve vakakwana, musingashayiwi chinhu.

Akaropafadzwa munhu anotsunga pakuedzwa, nokuti paanokunda, achapiwa korona youpenyu yakavimbiswa naMwari kuna avo vanomuda.

Hama dzangu, somuenzaniso womwoyo murefu pakutambudzika, tarirai vaprofita vakataura muzita raShe. Sezvamunoziva, tinoti vakaropafadzwa avo vakatsungirira. Makanzwa zvokutsungirira kwaJobho uye makaona zvakaitwa naIshe pakupedzisira. Ishe azere netsitsi nengoni.

Kuno mumwe wenyu anotambudzika here? Ngaanyengetere. Kuno mumwe anofara here? Ngaaimbe nziyo dzokurumbidza. Kuno mumwe wenyu anorwara here? Ngaadane vakuru vekereke kuti vazomunyengeterera uye vagomuzodza mafuta muzita raIshe. Uye munyengetero unoitwa mukutenda uchaita kuti munhu anorwara apore; Ishe achamumutsa. Kana akatadza, acharegererwa. Naizvozvo reururai zvivi zvenyu mumwe kuno mumwe uye munyengetererane kuti mugoporeswa. Munyengetero womunhu akarurama une simba uye unoshanda.

Mune izvi munofara zvikuru kunyange zvino, kana zvichifanira, muchitambudzika kwechinguva chiduku nenzira dzose dzemiedzo. Izvi zvakauya kuitira kuti kutenda kwenyu, kunokosha kupfuura goridhe, rinoparara kunyange zvaro rakanatswa nomoto, kuwanikwe kwakakwana uye kuve kunorumbidzwa, kunobwinya uye kunokudzwa pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu.

Nokuti zvinorumbidzwa kana munhu achitsungirira ari pasi pokurwadziwa nokutambudzika kusakafanira nokuti anoziva kuti Mwari ariko. Asi mungarumbidzwa sei kana muchirohwa nokuda kwokuita zvakaipa uye muchitsunga mazviri? Asi kana muchitambudzika nokuda kwokuti munoita zvakanaka uye muchitsunga mazviri, izvozvo zvinorumbidzwa pamberi paMwari. Makadanirwa izvozvi, nokuti Kristu akatambudzika nokuda kwenyu, akakusiyirai muenzaniso, kuti mutevere makwara ake. “Haana kutadza, uye kunyengera hakuna kuwanikwa mumuromo make.” Pavakamutuka, haana kudzorera; paakatambudzika, haana kutyisidzira. Asi, akazviisa kuna iye anotonga nokururama. Iye pachake akatakura zvivi zvedu mumuviri wake pamuti, kuitira kuti isu tife kuzvivi tigorarama zvakarurama; namavanga ake imi makaporeswa.

Asi kunyange dai mungatambudzika nokuda kwezvakanaka, makaropafadzwa imi. “Murege kutya zvavanotya ivo; musavhundutswa.”

Zviri nani, kana kuri kuda kwaMwari, kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwokuita zvakanaka pano kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwokuita zvakaipa. Nokuti Kristu akafira zvivi zvavose kamwe chete; akarurama nokuda kwavasakarurama, kuti akuuyisei kuna Mwari. Akaurayiwa mumuviri asi akararamiswa noMweya,

Naizvozvo, sezvo Kristu akatambudzika mumuviri wake, nemiwo muzvishongedze nomurangariro iwoyo, nokuti uyo akatambudzika mumuviri wake akarega chivi.

Vadikani, musashamiswa nokurwadza kwokutambudzika nemiedzo, sokunge chinhu chisingazivikanwi chaitika kwamuri. Asi farai kuti munogovana naKristu mumatambudziko, kuitira kuti mufare kwazvo pakuonekwa kwokubwinya kwake. Kana muchitukwa nokuda kwezita raKristu, makaropafadzwa, nokuti mweya wokubwinya nowaMwari unogara pamuri. Ngakurege kuva nomumwe wenyu achatambudzika, nemhaka yokuti imhondi, kana mbavha, kana kuti anoita zvimwe zvakaipa zvemhando ipi zvayo, kana kusarega zvavamwe. Kunyange zvakadaro, kana muchitambudzika somuKristu, musanyadziswa, asi rumbidzai Mwari nokuti mune zita iroro.

Saka zvino, vaya vanotambudzika nokuda kwaMwari vanofanira kuzviisa kuMusiki wavo akatendeka uye vagoramba vachiita zvakanaka.

Kuvakuru vari pakati penyu, ndinokumbira hangu somukuru pamwe chete nemi, nechapupu chamatambudziko aKristu, uye somumwewo achazogovana navo mukubwinya kuchazoratidzwa ndichiti:

Naizvozvo, muzvininipise, pasi poruoko rune simba rwaMwari, kuti agokusimudzirai munguva yakafanira. Kandai paari kufunganya kwenyu kwose nokuti anokuchengetai. Muzvidzore uye musvinure. Muvengi wenyu dhiabhori anofamba-famba achiomba seshumba inotsvaka waingadya. Mumudzivise, mumire makasimba mukutenda, nokuti munoziva kuti hama dzenyu munyika yose dziri kutambudzika saizvozvo. Uye Mwari wenyasha dzose, akakudanirai kukubwinya kwake kusingaperi muna Kristu, mushure mokumbotambudzika kwechinguva chiduku, achakuponesai uye achakusimbisai, agokumisai zvakasimba uye agokutsigisai.

Simba rake dzvene rakatipa zvinhu zvose zvatinoda zvoupenyu uye noumwari kubudikidza nokumuziva kwedu iye akatidana nokubwinya nokunaka kwake chaiko.

kana zvakadaro, ipapo Ishe anoziva kuti anonunura sei vanhu vake vanotya Mwari kubva pamiedzo uye kuti anobata sei vasakarurama kuti varangwe kusvikira pazuva rokutongwa.

Asi musakanganwa chinhu chimwe chete ichi, vadikani, kuti: Kuna Ishe zuva rimwe chete rakaita sechiuru chamakore, uye chiuru chamakore chakaita sezuva rimwe chete. Ishe haanonoki kuita zvaakavimbisa, sokunonoka kunonzwisiswa navamwe. Ane mwoyo murefu nemi, haadi kuti ani zvake arasike, asi kuti vose vatendeuke.

Imi, vana vanodikanwa, munobva kuna Mwari uye makavakunda, nokuti ari mamuri mukuru kuna iye ari munyika.

Nokudaro tinoziva uye tinovimba norudo rwaMwari kwatiri. Mwari rudo. Ani naani anogara murudo anogara muna Mwari, uye Mwari maari. Naizvozvo, rudo runokwaniswa pakati pedu kuitira kuti tigova nokuvimba pazuva rokutongwa, nokuti munyika ino takafanana naye. Murudo hamuna kutya. Asi rudo rwakakwana runodzinga kutya, nokuti kutya kune chokuita nokurangwa. Munhu anotya haana kukwaniswa murudo.

nokuti vose vakaberekwa naMwari vanokunda nyika. Uku ndiko kukunda kwakakunda nyika, iko kutenda kwedu. Ndianiko anokunda nyika? Ndiye chete anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.

Ndiko kusatya kwatinako mukuswedera kwedu kuna Mwari: kuti kana tichikumbira chinhu chipi nechipi nokuda kwake, anotinzwa. Uye kana tichiziva kuti anotinzwa pazvose zvatinokumbira, tinoziva kuti tava nazvo zvatakumbira kwaari.

Mudikani, ndinonyengetera kuti uve noutano hwakanaka uye kuti zvose zvikunakire kunyange sokufara kwomweya wako.

Ndini iye Mupenyu; ndakanga ndafa, uye tarira, ndiri mupenyu nokusingaperi-peri! Uye ndakabata kiyi dzorufu neHadhesi.

Ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke. Kuno uyo anokunda, ndichamutendera kuti adye zvinobva pamuti woupenyu, uri muparadhiso yaMwari.

“Kumutumwa wekereke iri muSimina nyora kuti: Aya ndiwo mashoko aiye Wokutanga neWokupedzisira, akafa uye akararamazve. Ndinoziva kutambudzika kwako nourombo hwako, asi uri mupfumi! Ndinoziva kutuka kwaavo vanozviti vaJudha uye vasiri ivo, asi vari vesinagoge raSatani. Usatya izvo zvava kuda kuzokutambudza. Ndinoti kwauri, dhiabhori achaisa vamwe venyu mutorongo kuti akuedzei, uye muchatambudzwa kwamazuva gumi. Ivai vakatendeka, kunyange kusvika pakufa, uye ini ndichakupai korona youpenyu.

Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke. Anokunda haazokuvadzwi norufu rwechipiri.

Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke. Kuno uyo anokunda, ndichamupa imwe mana yakavanzika. Ndichamupawo ibwe jena rine zita idzva rakanyorwa pariri, rinongozivikanwa naiye anorigamuchira.

Kuno uya anokunda uye achiita kuda kwangu kusvikira pakuguma, ndichamupa simba pamusoro pendudzi: ‘Achavatonga netsvimbo yesimbi; achavaputsa-putsa sezvaenga zvehari’, sokugamuchira kwandakaita simba kubva kuna Baba vangu. Ndichamupawo nyeredzi yamangwanani. Ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe, zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.

Anokunda achaita saivo, achashongedzwa nguo chena. Handingazodzimi zita rake kubva mubhuku roupenyu, asi ndichapupura zita rake pamberi paBaba vangu navatumwa vavo. Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.

Uyo anokunda ndichamuita mbiru mutemberi yaMwari wangu. Haazombobudimo. Ndichanyora paari zita raMwari wangu nezita reguta raMwari wangu, Jerusarema idzva, riri kuburuka richibva kudenga kuna Mwari; uye ndichanyorawo paari zita rangu idzva. Ane nzeve dzokunzwa ngaanzwe, zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.

Kuno uyo anokunda, ndichamutendera kuti agare neni pachigaro changu choushe, sezvandakakunda uye ndikagara naBaba vangu pachigaro chavo choushe. Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.”

Ndakapindura ndikati, “Ishe, imi munoziva.” Uye iye akati, “Ava ndivo vaya vakabuda mukutambudzika kukuru; vakasuka nguo dzavo vakadzichenesa muropa reGwayana. Naizvozvo, “vari pamberi pechigaro chaMwari uye vanomushumira masikati nousiku mutemberi yake; uye iye anogara pachigaro choushe achatambanudza tende rake pamusoro pavo. Havachazoziyi nenzara zvakare; havachazonzwi nyota zvakare. Havachazopiswi nezuva, kana nokupisa kupi zvako. Nokuti Gwayana riri pakati pechigaro choushe richava mufudzi wavo; richavatungamirira kumatsime emvura mhenyu. Uye Mwari achapukuta misodzi yose pameso avo.”

Vakamukunda neropa reGwayana uye neshoko rokupupura kwavo; havana kuda upenyu hwavo zvakanyanya zvokuti vangatya kufa.

Izvi zvinoda kutsungirira kwavatsvene vanoteerera mirayiro yaMwari uye vanoramba vakatendeka kuna Jesu. Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga richiti, “Nyora uti: Vakaropafadzwa vakafa vanofira muna She kubva zvino.” “Hongu,” ndizvo zvinoreva Mweya, “vachazorora pakubata kwavo kukuru, nokuti mabasa avo achavatevera.”

Mariri makawanikwa ropa ravaprofita neravatsvene, neravose vakaurayiwa panyika.”

Ndakaona zvigaro zvoushe zvakanga zvakagarwa navaya vakanga vapiwa simba rokutonga. Uye ndakaona mweya yavaya vakanga vagurwa misoro nokuda kwokupupura kwavo nezvaJesu uye nokuda kweshoko raMwari. Vakanga vasina kunamata chikara kana mufananidzo wacho uye vakanga vasina kugamuchira mucherechedzo pahuma dzavo kana pamaoko avo. Vakararama vakatonga pamwe chete naJesu kwamakore chiuru.

Achapukuta misodzi yavo yose pameso avo. Hapachazovazve norufu, kana kuungudza, kana kuchema, kana kurwadziwa, nokuti zvinhu zvokutanga zvapfuura.” Akanga agere pachigaro choushe akati, “Ndiri kuita kuti zvinhu zvose zvive zvitsva!” Ipapo akati, “Nyora izvi, nokuti mashoko aya akatendeka uye ndeechokwadi.” Akati kwandiri, “Zvaitwa. Ndini Arifa naOmega, wokutanga newokupedzisira. Kuna iye ane nyota ndichamupa kuti anwe, asingaripi, kubva mutsime remvura youpenyu. Anokunda achapiwa nhaka iyi yose, uye ndichava Mwari wake, uye iye achava mwanakomana wangu.
