1 Zviri nani kuva murombo ane mafambiro akarurama,
2 Hazvibatsiri kushingaira usina zivo,
3 Upenzi hwomunhu hunoparadza upenyu hwake,
4 Pfuma inouyisa shamwari zhinji,
5 Chapupu chenhema hachingaregi kurangwa,
6 Vazhinji vanotsvaka nyasha kumutongi,
7 Murombo anoraswa nehama dzake dzose,
8 Uyo anowana uchenjeri anoda upenyu hwake;
9 Chapupu chenhema hachingaregi kurangwa,
10 Hazvina kufanira kuti benzi rigarike,
11 Uchenjeri hwomunhu hunomupa mwoyo murefu;
12 Kutsamwa kwamambo kwakafanana nokuomba kweshumba,
13 Mwanakomana benzi ndiko kuparara kwababa vake,
14 Dzimba nepfuma inhaka inobva kuvabereki,
15 Usimbe hunouyisa hope dzakadzama,
16 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anochengetedza upenyu hwake,
17 Uyo anonzwira varombo tsitsi anopa kuna Jehovha,
18 Ranga mwanakomana wako, nokuti mukuranga ndimo mune tariro;
19 Munhu ane hasha zvikuru anofanira kuripa mhosva yake;
20 Teerera zano ugamuchire kurayirwa,
21 Mune urongwa huzhinji mumwoyo momunhu,
22 Chinodiwa nomunhu rudo rusingagumi;
23 Kutya Jehovha kunotungamirira kuupenyu:
24 Simbe inoisa ruoko rwayo mundiro;
25 Rova museki, ipapo vasina mano vachadzidzawo ungwaru;
26 Uyo anobira baba vake uye achidzinga mai vake
27 Mwanakomana wangu, ukasateerera kurayirwa,
28 Chapupu chakaipa chinoseka kururamisira,
29 Kurangwa kwakagadzirirwa vaseki, uye kurohwa misana yamapenzi.
