Naizvozvo zvino, unofanira kuti kumuranda wangu Dhavhidhi, Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, “Ndakakutora kumafuro, kwawakanga uchifudza makwai, kuti uve mubati wavanhu vangu vaIsiraeri; ndikava newe pose pawakafamba, ndikaparadza vavengi vako vose pamberi pako; ndichakuitira zita guru, ringafanana namazita avakuru vari panyika. Ndichatarira vanhu vangu vaIsiraeri nzvimbo, ndichavasima, vagare panzvimbo yavo, varege kubviswazve; navakaipa havangavatambudzizve sapakutanga, nokubva pazuva randakaraira vatongi kuti vabate vanhu vangu vaIsiraeri. Asi iwe ndichakuzorodza pavavengi vako vose. Uyezve Jehovha unokuudza kuti Jehovha uchakumisira imba. Kana nguva yako yasvika, iwe ukavata namadzibaba ako, ndichamutsa mumwe worudzi rwako uchakutevera, uchabuda muhura mako, ndikasimbisa ushe hwake. Iye uchavakira zita rangu imba, neni ndichasimbisa chigaro chake choushe nokusingaperi. Ini ndichava baba vake, naiye uchava mwanakomana wangu; kana akazoita zvakaipa, ndichamuranga neshamhu yavanhu, uye nokurohwa kwavana vavanhu; asi nyasha dzangu hadzingabvi kwaari, sezvandakadzibvisa kuna Sauro, wandakabvisa pamberi pako. Imba yako noushe hwako zvichasimbiswa pamberi pako nokusingaperi, nechigaro chako choushe chichasimbiswa nokusingaperi.”
