| 2. | nokuti ivo havana kundosangana navana vaIsiraeri nezvokudya nemvura, asi vakaripira Bharamu kuti avatuke; asi Mwari wedu akashandura kutuka akakuita kuropafadza. |
| 3. | Zvino vakati vanzwa murau, vakaraura vanhu vazhinji vose vakanga vakavhengana navaIsiraeri. |

| 11. | Ipapo ndakaita nharo navatariri, ndikati, "Imba yaMwari yasiyirweiko?" Ndikavakokera, ndikavadzoserazve panzvimbo yavo. |
| 12. | Ipapo vaJudha vose vakauya nezvegumi zvezviyo, nezvewaini, nezvamafuta, vakazviisa muzvivigiro. |
| 13. | Ndikaisa pazvivigiro vachengeti vefuma, Sheremia mupirisiti, naZadhoki munyori, navaRevhi, Pedhaya; vachibatsirwa naHanani, mwanakomana waZakuri, mwanakomana waMatania; nokuti vakanga vachinzi vakatendeka; basa ravo rakanga riri rokupa hama dzavo mugove wavo. |
| 14. | Chindirangarirai henyu, Mwari wangu, pamusoro paizvozvo; regai henyu kupikisa mabasa angu akanaka andakaitira imba yaMwari wangu nezvaifanira kuitwa mairi. |
| 15. | Zvino pamazuva iwayo ndakaona paJudha vamwe vakanga vachitsika mazambiringa pazvisviniro neSabata, navakanga vachitora zvisote vachizvitakudza mbongoro; uye waini, namazambiringa, namaonde, nemitoro yamarudzi ose, zvavakanga vachiuya nazvo paJerusaremu nezuva reSabata; ndikavanyevera pazuva ravakatengesa zvokudya. |
| 16. | Pakanga pagerewo varume veTire, vaiuya nehove, nezvimwe zvinotengeswa zvamarudzi ose; vakazvitengesa kuvanhu vaJudha napaJerusaremu pazuva reSabata. |
| 17. | Ipapo ndikaita nharo navakuru vavaJudha, ndikati kwavari, "Chinhu ichi chakaipa chamunoita ndecheiko, zvamunozvidza zuva reSabata? |
| 18. | Ko madzibaba enyu haana kuita saizvozvo, Mwari wedu akauyisa zvakaipa izvi zvose pamusoro pedu napamusoro peguta rino here? Asi imi munowedzera kutsamwa kwaMwari pamusoro paIsiraeri, zvamunozvidza Sabata." |
| 19. | Zvino pamasuo eJerusaremu pakati posviba, Sabata risati rasvika, ndakaraira kuti mikova ipfigwe, ndikaraira kuti irege kuzarurwazve kusvikira Sabata rapfuura, ndikaisa vamwe varanda vangu pamasuo, kuti mitoro irege kupinzwa pazuva reSabata. |

| 21. | Ipapo ndakavanyevera ndikati kwavari, "Munovatireiko pamberi porusvingo? Kana mukadarozve ndichakubatai." Zvino kubva panguva iyo havana kuzouyazve neSabata. |
| 22. | Ndikaraira vaRevhi kuti vazvinatse, vauye kuzorinda masuo, vatsaure zuva reSabata. Ndirangarirei henyu nokuda kwechinhu ichiwo, Mwari wangu, mundinzwire tsitsi nenyasha dzenyu huru. |
| 23. | Namazuva iwayo ndakaonawo vamwe vaJudha vakanga vawana vakadzi veAshidhodhi, naAmoni, naMoabhu; |
| 24. | vana vavo vaitaura zvimwe nechiAshidhodhi, vasingagoni kutaura rurimi rwavaJudha, asi rurimi rwamarudzi iwayo. |
| 25. | Ndikaita nharo navo, ndikavatuka, ndikarova vamwe vavo, ndikataura vhudzi ravo, ndikavapikisa naMwari, ndichiti, "Hamufaniri kupa vanakomana vavo vakunda venyu, kana kutorera vanakomana venyu vakunda vavo, kunyange nemiwo. |
| 26. | Ko Soromoni mambo waIsiraeri haana kutadza pazvinhu izvi here? Kunyange zvakadaro pakati pendudzi zhinji pakanga pasina mambo akafanana naye, naye akanga akadikanwa naMwari wake, Mwari akamuita mambo wavaIsiraeri vose; kunyange zvakadaro naiye akatadziswa navakadzi vatorwa. |
| 27. | Ko zvino tingakuteererai kuti muite chinhu ichi chakaipa chikuru, mutadzire Mwari wedu muchiwana vakadzi vatorwa here?" |

| 29. | Muvarangarirei henyu, Mwari wangu, nokuti vakasvibisa upirisiti nesungano youpirisiti neyavaRevhi. |
| 30. | Ndikavanatsa saizvozvo ndikabvisa zvose zvavatorwa, ndikaraira madzoro avapirisiti navaRevhi, mumwe nomumwe pabasa rake; |
| 31. | napabasa rezvipo zvehuni panguva dzakatarwa, nerezvitsva. Ndirangarirei henyu, Mwari wangu, mundiitire zvakanaka. |
