34 Asi handizobvisi umambo hwacho hwese muruoko rwake, uye ndichaita kuti arambe ari jinda mazuva ese eupenyu hwake, ndichiitira muranda wangu Dhavhidhi wandakasarudza,+ nekuti akachengeta mirayiro yangu nemirau yangu.
35 Asi ndichabvisa umambo muruoko rwemwanakomana wake ndohupa kwauri, kureva madzinza gumi.+
36 Ndichapa mwanakomana wake dzinza rimwe chete, kuti muranda wangu Dhavhidhi agare aine rambi pamberi pangu nguva dzese muJerusarema,+ guta randakasarudza kuti rive nzvimbo yekuisa zita rangu.
37 Ndichakusarudza, uye uchatonga zvese zvaunoda,* uye uchava mambo weIsraeri.
38 Kana ukateerera zvese zvandinokurayira wofamba munzira dzangu, woita zvakarurama pamberi pangu uchiteerera mirau yangu nemirayiro yangu, sezvakaitwa nemuranda wangu Dhavhidhi,+ ndichavawo newe. Ndichakuvakira imba inogara kwenguva yakareba, sekuvakira kwandakaita Dhavhidhi,+ uye ndichakupa Israeri.
39 Ndichanyadzisa vana vaDhavhidhi nemhaka yeizvi,+ asi kwete nguva dzese.’”+
