Kuungudza kwaJeremia 4

1Haiwa, goridhe rasviba sei,

goridhe rakaisvonaka harichabwinyi sei!

Matombo matsvene aparadzirwa

kumusoro kwenzira imwe neimwe.

2Haiwa vanakomana vanokosha veZioni,

kare vaimbokodzera chiero chavo chegoridhe,

zvino voonekwa sehari dzevhu,

iro basa ramaoko omuumbi wehari!

3Kunyange makava anopa mazamu awo

kuti anwise vana vawo,

asi vanhu vangu vava vasina hanya

seshiri dzemhou dziri mugwenga.

4Nokuda kwenyota rurimi rwomwana mucheche

runonamira mumukanwa make;

vana vanopemha chingwa,

asi hakuna anovapa.

5Avo vaisidya zvinonaka

vava vapemhi mumugwagwa.

Avo vakarerwa vachifuka nguo dzepepuru

zvino vava kuvata pamadurunhuru edota.

6Kurangwa kwavanhu vangu

kukuru kupinda kweSodhomu,

rakaparadzwa pakarepo

pasina ruoko rwakadzoka kuzoribatsira.

7Machinda avo aipenya kupfuura chando,

uye akanga akachena kupfuura mukaka,

miviri yavo yakanga yakatsvuka kupfuura matombo anokosha amarubhi,

kuratidzika kwavo kwakaita sokwesafiri.

8Asi zvino vasviba kupfuura chinʼai;

hapana angavaziva mumigwagwa.

Ganda ravo ranamira pamapfupa avo;

raoma zvokufanana nedanda.

9Avo vakaurayiwa nomunondo vari nani

pane avo vanourayiwa nenzara;

vabayiwa nenzara, vaonda kwazvo

nokuda kwokushayiwa zvokudya zvinobva muminda.

10Namaoko avo vakadzi vaiva nomwoyo munyoro

vakabika vana vavo,

vakava zvokudya zvavo,

pakaparadzwa vanhu vangu.

11Jehovha akaratidza kutsamwa kwake kwose;

akadurura hasha dzake dzinotyisa.

Akabatidza moto paZioni

akapisa nheyo dzaro.

12Madzimambo enyika haana kutenda,

kunyange navanhu vose vagere panyika,

kuti vavengi vangapinda

pamasuo eJerusarema.

13Zvakaitika nokuda kwezvivi zvavaprofita varo

uye nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavaprista varo,

vakateura ropa

ravakarurama mukati maro.

14Vanodzungaira munzira dzaro

savarume mapofu.

Vakasvibiswa neropa

zvokuti hapana angada kubata nguo dzavo.

15Vanhu vanodanidzira kwavari vachiti, “Ibvai! Hamuna kuchena!

Ibvai! Ibvai! Musatibata!”

Panguva yokutiza nokudzungaira kwavo,

vanhu pakati pendudzi vanoti,

“Havangarambi vachigara pano.”

16Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwavaparadzira;

haachavachengetedza.

Havana kukudza uprista,

uye havana kuremekedza vakuru.

17Meso edu oonera madzerere,

tichitarisira rubatsiro rusingauyi;

tiri pashongwe dzedu takatarisira

rudzi rwaizotiponesa.

18Vanhu vakatitevera kwose kwatakaenda,

zvokuti takatadza kufamba munzira dzedu chaidzo.

Magumo edu akanga ava pedyo, mazuva edu apera,

nokuti magumo akanga asvika.

19Vaitidzinganisa vaimhanya kupfuura

makondo okudenga;

vakatidzinganisa napamusoro pamakomo

uye vakatigaririra murenje.

20Muzodziwa waJehovha, iye mweya wedu wokufema chaiwo,

akanga abatwa mumisungo yavo.

Takafunga kuti mumumvuri wake

taizorarama pakati pendudzi.

21Pembera ufare, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu,

iwe unogara munyika yeUzi.

Asi newewo uchapiwa mukombe uyu;

uchadhakwa uye uchazvibvisa nguo.

22Iwe, Mwanasikana weZioni, kurangwa kwako kuchaguma;

haangawedzeri mazuva ako outapwa.

Asi, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu, acharanga chivi chako

agoratidza kuipa kwako.
