Muṋe washu u ri, ‘Hu ḓo bebwa ṅwana a no pfi Josiasi kha nnḓu ya Dafita. Henefha kha iwe ene u ḓo ṱhavha vhotshifhe vha zwitembele zwa zwikwarani vhane vha ṋekedza zwiṱhavhelo fhano, hu ḓo fhiswa marambo a vhathu kha iwe.’ ” 3Musi wonoyo muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a ita tshiga a ri, “Ngetshi tshiga tshe tsha ḓivhadzwa nga Muṋe washu u ri: Aḽiṱari hei i ḓo fhanduwa, milora yo kamaho mapfura ya balangana.”
4Musi khosi Jerobiamu a tshi pfa zwe muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a teketela aḽiṱari i re Bethele, a imisa tshanḓa tshawe o ima aḽiṱarini a ri, “Mu fareni!” Hone itsho tshanḓa tshe a tshi imisa tshi tshi sumba uyo munna tsha mbo ḓi kongonyala, a si tsha kona u tshi humisela murahu.
5Aḽiṱari ya mbo ḓi fhanduwa, milora ya balangana, zwi tshi tevhedza tshiga tshe tsha ambiwa nga muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu ó laiwa nga Muṋe washu.
6Ndi hone khosi i tshi amba na muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu ya ri, “Mpfumedzanyeni na Yahavee Mudzimu waṋu, ni nthabelele uri tshanḓa tshanga tshi fhole.” Muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a mu ambela na Muṋe washu, tshanḓa tsha khosi tsha fhola, tsha vhuelelela ngonani.

8Huno muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a fhindula khosi a ri, “Naho vho vha vha tshi nga mpha hafu ya lupfumo lwavho, ndo vha ndi sa nga ṱuwi navho kana nda ḽa zwiḽiwa kana nda nwa maḓi fhano. 9Muṋe washu o nndaya a ri, ‘U songo ḽa zwiḽiwa kana wa nwa maḓi kana wa huma nga nḓila ye wa ḓa ngayo.’ ” 10Ndi hone a tshi fara iṅwe nḓila, a si tsha huma nga nḓila ye a ya ngayo Bethele.
Muporofita wa Bethele
11Zwino ho vha hu na muṅwe muporofita wa mukalaha a tshi dzula Bethele, vhana vhawe vha ḓa vha mu vhudza zwoṱhe zwe uḽa muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a ita henefho Bethele musi wonoyo, na zwoṱhe zwe a vhudza khosi Jerobiamu. 12Khotsi avho a vha vhudzisa a ri, “O ṱuwa nga nḓila ifhio?” Vhana vhawe vha mu sumbedza nḓila ye uyo muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a no bva Juda a i fara. 13Ene a vhudza vhana vhawe a ri, “Vhelesani donngi.” Vha mu vhelesela donngi, a namela, 14a tevhela uḽa muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu, a mu wana o dzula fhasi ha muri muhulu, a mu vhudzisa a ri, “Ndi vhone muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a no bva Juda?”

15Ndi hone muporofita a tshi mu vhudza a ri, “Nga ri ṱuwe roṱhe ri ye hayani ri yo ḽa zwiḽiwa.”
16Muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a ri, “Ndi nga si humele murahu nda ṱuwa navho kana nda ḽa zwiḽiwa kana nda nwa maḓi navho fhano fhethu. 17Muṋe washu o mmbudza a ri, ‘U songo ḽa zwiḽiwa kana wa nwa maḓi henefho kana wa vhuya nga nḓila ye wa ṱuwa ngayo.’ ”
18Muporofita uyo wa mukalaha a fhindula a ri, “Na nṋe ndi muporofita unga vhone. Muṋe washu o ruma muruṅwa a ḓa a mmbudza a ri, ‘Huma nae u mu ise muṱani wau uri a ḽe zwiḽiwa, a nwe maḓi.’ ” Hone muporofita uyo wa mukalaha o vha a tshi khou mu zwifhela.
19Ndi hone muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a tshi huma na uyo muporofita wa mukalaha a yo ḽa zwiḽiwa, a nwa muṱani wawe.
20Musi vha tshee vho dzula ḓafulani, ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu ḽa ḓa ha muporofita uyo wa mukalaha we a huma nae, 21a vhidzelela a tshi vhudza muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a no bva Juda a ri, “Muṋe washu u ri, ‘Wo nyadza ipfi ḽa Yahavee, a wo ngo tevhedza ndaela ye wa fhiwa nga Muṋe washu Mudzimu wau. 22Wo huma wa yo ḽa zwiḽiwa, wa nwa maḓi fhethu he a u vhudza uri u songo ḽa, u songo nwa. Zwenezwo tshitumbu tshau a tshi nga swiṱwi tshaloni tsha vhokhotsi au.’ ”
23Musi uyo muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu o no fhedza u ḽa na u nwa, muporofita we a huma nae a mu vhelesela donngi yawe. 24Musi e lwendoni a ṱangana na ndau nḓilani ya mu vhulaha, tshitumbu tshawe tsha kudzwa nḓilani, donngi na ndau vhuvhili hazwo zwa ima tsini hatsho. 25Vhaṅwe vhathu vhe vha fhira henefho vha vhona tshitumbu tsho rambalala henefho fhasi, ndau yo ima tsini ha tshitumbu, vha swikisa ayo mafhungo muḓini hune muporofita wa mukalaha a dzula hone.
26Uḽa muporofita we a mu humisa lwendoni lwawe a tshi zwi pfa a ri, “Ndi muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu we a nyadza ndaela ya Muṋe washu. Muṋe washu o mu kumedza ndau, ya mu zhongondedza, ya mu vhulaha, nga he ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu ḽa mu vhudza.” 27Muporofita a vhudza vhana vhawe a ri, “Mmbeleseleni donngi.” Vha ita nga u ralo, 28a namela a ṱuwa. A wana tshitumbu tsho rambalala nḓilani, donngi na ndau zwo ima tsini hatsho. Ndau yo vha i songo ḽa itsho tshitumbu, na donngi í songo i zhongondedza. 29Ndi hone muporofita a tshi takula tshitumbu tsha muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu, a tshi hwesa donngi, a humela natsho Bethele uri a mu lile, a mu swiṱe. 30Ndi hone a tshi swiṱa itsho tshitumbu tshaloni tshawe, vha mu lila vha ri, “Yawee, shaka ḽanga!”
31Musi vho no mu swiṱa a vhudza vhana vhawe a ri, “Musi ndi tshi fa ni ntswiṱe tshaloni tshe uyu muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu a swiṱwa khatsho, ni ladze marambo anga tsini ha marambo awe. 32Ndi uri mafhungo e a ḓivhadzwa nga ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu hu tshi teketelwa aḽiṱari ya Bethele na zwitembele zwa zwikwarani miḓini ya Samaria, vhukuma ha nga weli fhasi.”
