Bhuku raIsaya 58,1-9a.
Zvanzi naJehovha, Danidzira kwazvo, usave nehanya nazvo; sehwamanda anokwidza inzwi rake; dudzirai zvakaipa zvavo kuvanhu vangu, nezvivi zvavo kuimba yaJakove.
Vanonditsvaka mazuva ose, vanoshuva kuziva nzira dzangu, sevanhu vanoita kururamisa, vasina kusiya kururamisira kwaMwari wavo; Vanondikumbira kutonga kwakarurama, vanoshuva kuva pedyo kwaMwari:
"Sei uchitsanya, kana iwe usingaione, tiuraye isu, kana iwe usingazvizive?". Tarira, pazuva rekutsanya iwe unotora bhizinesi rako, shungurudza vashandi vako vese.
Tarira, iwe urikutsanya pakati pekukakavara nekukakavara uye uchirova nezvakaipa zvibhakera. Kwete zvakare kutsanya sezvaunoita nhasi, kuitira kuti ruzha rwako runzwike pamusoro.
Ko ndiko kutsanya kwandinoda here, zuva iro munhu anozviuraya? Kukotamisa musoro wako setsanga, kushandisa masaga uye madota pamubhedha, pamwe izvi ungadeidza kuti kutsanya uye nezuva rinofadza Ishe?
Uku hakusi kutsanya kwandandinoda here: kuti musunungure ngetani dzakasarudzika, bvisa zvisungo zvejoko, musunungure vadzvanyiriri uye muchityora joko rese?
Hazvina here kugovana chingwa nevane nzara, kuunza varombo, vasina pekugara mumba, nekupfekedza mumwe waunoona asina kupfeka, pasina kubvisa maziso ako kubva panyama yako?
Ipapo mwenje wako uchabuda semambakwedza, ronda rako richapora munguva pfupi. Kururama kwako kuchafamba pamberi pako, Kubwinya kwaJehovha kuchakutevera.
Ipapo uchadana kwaari, Jehovha achakupindura; iwe uchakumbira rubatsiro uye iye achati: "Ndiri pano!".
Salmi 51(50),3-4.5-6ab.18-19.
Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Mwari, netsitsi dzenyu;
mukunaka kwenyu kukuru bvisa zvivi zvangu.
Lavami da tutte le mie colpe,
ndinatse zvivi zvangu.
Ndinoziva mhosva yangu,
zvivi zvangu zvinogara zviri pamberi pangu.
Contro di te, contro te solo ho peccato,
zvakaipa pamberi pako, ndakazviita.
Haudi chibayiro
uye kana ndikauya nezvipiriso zvinopiswa, hauzvigamuchire.
Mumwe mweya unoshungurudzika chibayiro kuna Mwari,
moyo wakaputsika nowakanyadziswa, Mwari, hamuzvidzi.
Kubva muEvangeri raJesu Kristu maererano naMateo 9,14-15.
Nenguva iyoyo, vadzidzi vaJohani vakauya kuna Jesu vakati kwaari, "Sei isu nevaFarise tichitsanya, asi vadzidzi vako havatsanyi?"
Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, "Vana vavakaroora vangave vachichema muroori achiri navo?" Asi mazuva achasvika apo muwani achabviswa kwavari uye ipapo vachatsanya.
