4 Vakabva vati: “Uyai tizvivakire guta uye shongwe inosvika kudenga, tizviitire zita rakakurumbira, kuti tisapararire nenyika.”+
5 Jehovha akabva aburuka kuti aone guta racho neshongwe yacho zvakanga zvavakwa nevanakomana vevanhu.
6 Jehovha akabva ati: “Ona! Vanhu ava vamwe chete, vane mutauro mumwe chete,+ uye izvi ndizvo zvavatanga kuita. Saka hapana chavangafunga kuita chavachatadza.
7 Uya tiburuke+ tinovhiringidza mutauro wavo kuti varege kunzwanana mitauro yavo.”
8 Saka Jehovha akavaparadzira nenyika yese+ vachibva ipapo, uye vakarega kuvaka guta racho zvishoma nezvishoma.
9 Ndokusaka rakatumidzwa kuti Bhabheri,*+ nekuti Jehovha akavhiringidza mutauro wenyika yese ipapo, uye Jehovha akavaparadzira nenyika yese vachibva ipapo.
