Zekaria 3 - Shona Bible 1949 revised 2002

Chiratidzo chechina, Joshua anopomerwa naSatani asi anorwirwa naJehovha

¹ Zvino wakandiratidza Joshua mupristi mukuru, amire pamberi pomutumwa waJehovha, Satani amire paruoko rwake rworudyi, kuti ave mudzivisi wake.

² Jehovha akati kuna Satani, “Jehovha ngaakutuke, iwe Satani; zvirokwazvo, Jehovha, wakazvisanangurira Jerusaremu, ngaakutuke; ko ichi hachizi chitsika chakabvutwa pamoto here?”

³ Zvino Joshua akanga akafuka nguo dzine tsvina, amire pamberi pomutumwa.

⁴ Akapindura, akataura navakanga vamire pamberi pake, achiti, “Bvisai nguo dzake dzine tsvina.” Akati kwaari, “Tarira, ndakabvisa zvakaipa zvako, ndichakupfekedza nguo dzomutambo.”

⁵ Ini ndikati, “Ngavamudzike ngoani yakachena pamusoro wake.” Ipapo vakamudzika ngoani yakachena pamusoro wake, vakamupfekedza nguo; zvino mutumwa waJehovha akanga amirepo.

⁶ Mutumwa waJehovha akapupura kuna Joshua, achiti,

⁷ “Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, ‘Kana ukafamba nenzira dzangu, kana ukachengeta zvandakakuraira, ipapo uchatonga imba yangu, uye uchachengetawo mavazhe angu, ini ndichakupa mapindire pakati pavamire pano.

⁸ Zvino chinzwa iwe Joshua, mupristi mukuru, iwe neshamwari dzako dzigere pamberi pako; nokuti varume ava chiratidzo; nokuti tarirai, ndichauyisa muranda wangu, davi.

⁹ Nokuti tarirai ibwe randakaisa pamberi paJoshua; pabwe rimwe pana meso manomwe; tarirai, ndichatema runyoro rwaro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo ndichabvisa zvakaipa zvenyika iyo nezuva rimwe.

¹⁰ Nezuva iro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo muchadana mumwe nomumwe wenyu shamwari yake agare pasi pomudzambiringa napasi pomuonde.’ ”
