1Zvino negore rechina ramambo Dhariasi shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Zekariya nezuva rechina romwedzi wepfumbamwe, iwo weKisirevhi.

2Zvino vanhu veBhetieri vakanga vatuma Sharezeri naRegemimereki, navanhu vavo, kundokumbira nyasha kuna Jehovha,

3nokutaura navapristi veimba yaJehovha wehondo navaporofita, vachiti, “Ko ndochema nomwedzi wechishanu, ndichizviparadzanisa navamwe, sezvandaiita makore awa mazhinji here?”

4Ipapo shoko raJehovha wehondo rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,

5“Taura navanhu vose venyika ino, navapristi, uti, ‘Zvamaizvinyima zvokudya muchichema nomwedzi wechishanu nowechinomwe, makore ano ana makumi manomwe, maitongozvinyima zvokudya nokuda kwangu, nokuda kwangu here?

6Kana muchidya, kana muchinwa, hamuzvidyiri nokuzvinwira here?’ ”

10regai kumanikidza chirikadzi, kana nherera, kana mutorwa, kana murombo; kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu anofungira hama yake zvakaipa pamwoyo pake.’

11“Asi vakaramba kuteerera, vakabvisa fudzi ravo, nokudzivira nzeve dzavo kuti varege kunzwa.

12Zvirokwazvo, mwoyo yavo vakaiita sedhaimani, kuti varege kunzwa murairo namashoko akatumwa naJehovha wehondo noMweya wake navaporofita vakare; saka kutsamwa kukuru kwakabuda kuna Jehovha wehondo.

13Zvino sezvaakadana, ivo vakaramba kunzwa, saizvozvo ivo vachadanawo, ini ndichiramba kunzwa ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo;

14asi ndichavaparadzira nechamupupuri pakati pendudzi dzose dzavakanga vasingazivi. Naizvozvo nyika yakava dongo shure kwavo, kukasava nomunhu akaenda kana kudzoka neko; nokuti vakaparadza nyika yakanga ichifadza.”
