1 Samueri 25:1-22

Samueri akazofa, vaIsiraeri vose vakaungana kuzomuchema vakamuviga pamusha pake kuRama. Dhavhidhi akasimuka odzika kuenda kurenje reParani. Kwaiva nomumwewo murume wokuMaoni aiva nebasa rake kuKarimeri, akanga akapfuma kwazvo. Akanga aine zviuru zvitatu zvehwai nechiuru chembudzi. Akanga achiveura hwai dzake kuKarimeri ikoko. Murume iyeye ainzi Nabhari, mudzimai wake achinzi Abhigairi. Aiva mukadzi anonzwisisa ane chimiro chakanaka. Asi murume iyeyo akanga aine mwoyo mukukutu. Aiva wokwaKarebhu. Pakanga Dhavhidhi ari kurenje akanzwa zvichinzi Nabhari ari kuveura hwai dzake kuKarimeri. Akatuma majaya gumi achiti, “Endai kuKarimeri mundondikwazisirawo Nabhari. Muti kwaari zvanzi, ‘Rugare ngaruve nemi. Zvanzi kufara kwamuri imi mose nemhuri yenyu. Makadiiko nezvose zvamunazvo?’ Ndiri kunzwa kuti muri mukuveura zvipfuwo zvenyu. Zvino vafudzi venyu vakanga vanesu kuno, asi hapana chakaipa chatakaita kwavari. Hapana chavakarasikirwa nacho nguva yose iyi yavanga vari kuKarimeri. Kana mukabvunza zvenyu varanda venyu, vanokuudzaiwo izvozvi. Naizvozvo dai mukaitira zvenyu majaya angu ayo tsiye nyoro zvatauyawo kuno zuva guru rakadai. Dai mukawanawo zvimwe zvamunazvo zvamungape varanda venyu neni mwana wenyu Dhavhidhi.” Kuzoti majaya aDhavhidhi asvikako akapira kuna Nabhari zvose izvi achiti tatumwa naDhavhidhi, ndokumira zvavo. Nabhari akapindura varanda vaDhavhidhi achiti, “Dhavhidhi iyeyo ndiani? Chii mwana waJese iyeyo? Kune varanda vazhinji kwazvo mazuva ano vari kutiza vatenzi vavo. Nditore chingwa changu, nemvura yangu, nenyama yandabayira vaveuri vangu, ndichipa zvangu kuvanhu vandisingamboziva kana nokwavanobva here?” Majaya aDhavhidhi akadzokera zvawo akasvikotaurira Dhavhidhi zvose izvozvi. Dhavhidhi akati kuvanhu vake, “Varume, munhu wose ngaapakate bakatwa rake!” Munhu wose akapakata bakatwa rake, Dhavhidhi akapakatawo rake. Mazana mana avanhu akaenda naDhavhidhi, kukasara mazana maviri vakachengeta zvinhu. Asi mumwe muranda akaruma nzeve mudzimai waNabhari, Abhigairi kuti, “Dhavhidhi akatuma nhumwa dzakasvika kuna tenzi wedu dzichibva kurenje kuzovakwazisa, asi ivo vakadzijinyura. Asi mufunge zvenyuka, vanhu ivava vakatiitira zvakanaka kwazvo. Havana chakaipa chavakaita kwatiri. Hapana chatakarasikirwa nacho kumafuro nguva yose iyi yatakanga tiinavo. Vakanga vari rusvingo chairwo kutichengetedza, siku nesikati nguva yose iyi zvayo yatanga tichifudza hwai. Zvino dai mukambopafungawo zvenyu apa muone zvokuita, nokuti tenzi wedu atova munyatwa chaiyo izvozvi pamwechete navanhu vose vemhuri yake. Asi tenzi wedu uyu munhu ane mwoyo wakaipa kwazvo haatiuriki.” Abhigairi akabva aita chimbichimbi kutora mazana maviri ezvingwa nezvigubhu zviviri zvewaini nehwai shanu dzakavhiyiwa, namabhagidhi maviri embesanwa dzakakangwa, nezana rezvisumbu zvamagirepisi akaomeswa namazana maviri ezvambwa zvamakuyu, akazvitakudza pamadhongi. Akati kuvaranda vake, “Chitungamirai, ini ndiri kutevera!” Asi mudzimai waNabhari haana kutaurira murume wake. Paaifamba kudaro ari padhongi rake, akati pindei mumupata wegomo, onei Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vari kuuya vakananga kwaari, ndokusangana navo. Dhavhidhi akanga achitoti, “Chaizvoizvo ini ndakatamburira nhando nhai kuchengeta zvinhu zvose zvomunhu uyu murenje, pasina chimwechete chake chaakarasikirwa nacho. Ini ndakamuitira zvakanaka kudaro, ndopaava kunditsiva nezvakaipa kudai. Kana ramangwanani rikabuda kuchine wechirume wemhuri yake wandinenge ndasiya ari mupenyu, iyeni Dhavhidhi, Tenzi ngaandione.”
