¹Ndakati mumoyo mangu, uya zvino, ndichakuidza nomufaro; chifarira zvinhu zvakanaka! Asi tarira, naizvozvowo zvakanga zvisina maturo.

¹¶ I mea ahau i roto i toku ngakau, Tena ra, ka whakamatauria koe e ahau ki te koa; na, te ahuareka mau. Heoi, he horihori ano hoki tenei.

²Kana kuri kuseka, ndakati, Upengo! Kana uri mufaro, ndakati, Unobatsireiko?

²Ko te kata, kiia iho e ahau he haurangi; ko te koa, He mahi aha tana?

³Ndakanzvera moyo wangu, ndione kuti ndingafadza nyama yangu sei newaini, moyo wangu uchindifambisa hawo nouchenjeri, uye kuti ndingaramba ndakabata upenzi, kusvikira ndaona kuti zvakanaka ndezvipi zvingaitwa navanakomana vavanhu pasi pedenga mazuva ose oupenyu hwavo.

³I whai ahau i roto i toku ngakau me pehea te whakaahuareka i toku kikokiko ki te waina, me te whakahaere ano ia a toku ngakau i ahau i runga i te whakaaro nui; a me pehea taku hopu i te wairangi, kia kitea ra ano e ahau he aha ra tena mea pai a n ga tama a te tangata e mahia nei i raro i te rangi i nga ra katoa e ora nei ratou.

⁴Ndakazviitira mabasa makuru; ndakazvivakira dzimba; ndakazvirimira minda yemizambiringa;

⁴I mahia e ahau etahi mahi nunui maku; i hanga e ahau etahi whare moku; i whakatokia e ahau etahi mara waina maku;

⁵ndakazviitira minda neminda yemiti, ndikasimamo miti inobereka michero yamarudzi ose;

⁵I hanga e ahau etahi kari maku, me etahi mara rakau, whakatokia iho e ahau ki reira nga tu rakau katoa e whai hua ana.

⁶ndakazviitira madziva emvura, kuti ndidiridze matondo pakanga pasimwa miti;

⁶I hanga e ahau he poka wai maku hei whakamakuku mai i reira i te ngahere, i te wahi i whakatupuria ai nga rakau.

⁷ndakatenga varanda navarandakadzi, ndikava navaranda vakaberekerwa mumba mangu; ndakanga ndine fuma zhinji yemombe nemakwai, kupfuura vose vakanditangira paJerusaremu;

⁷I hokona e ahau he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, a he pononga ano i whanau ki toku whare; he tini hoki aku kahui kau, aku kahui hipi, maha atu i a te hunga katoa i mua atu i ahau i Hiruharama.

⁸I amenea mai ano e ahau he hiriwa, he koura, me te taonga i rawe ki nga kingi, ki nga kawanatanga; i meatia ano e ahau he kaiwaiata tane, he kaiwaiata wahine, me nga ahuareka ano a nga tama a te tangata, te tini o te wahine iti.

⁹Saizvozvo ndakanga ndiri munhu mukuru, ndikaramba ndichikura kupfuura vose vakanditangira paJerusaremu; uye huchenjeri hwangu hwakagara neni.

⁹Heoi kua nui ahau, neke noa ake ana aku i a te hunga katoa i mua ake i ahau i Hiruharama, me te mau ano hoki toku whakaaro nui.

¹⁰Zvose zvakadikamwa nameso angu handina kuanyima izvozvo; handina kutongodzora moyo wangu pamufaro upi noupi; nekuti moyo wangu wakange uchifara nokubata kwangu kose; ndiwo wakange uri mugove wangu wakabva pakubata kwangu kose.

¹⁰Ko nga mea katoa ano hoki i hiahiatia e oku kanohi, kihai i kaiponuhia e ahau i a raua, kihai ano i pehia e ahau toku ngakau i te meatanga atu ki tetahi whakahari; i hari hoki toku ngakau i oku ruhatanga katoa; a ko te wahi tenei maku o oku ruha tanga katoa.

¹¹Zvino ndakacherekedza mabasa ose akanga aitwa namaoko angu, nokubata kose kwandakatambura kubata tarira zvose zvakanga zvisina maturo, kwaiva kudzingana nemhepo chete, kwakanga kusine chinhu chinobatsira pasi pezuva.

¹¹Katahi ahau ka titiro ki nga mahi katoa i mahia e oku ringa, ki te ruhatanga hoki i ruha ai ahau i te mahinga; nana, he horihori katoa, he whai kau i te hau, a kahore he hua pai i raro i te ra.

¹²Zvino ndakatendeuka kuti ndicherekedze uchenjeri, noupengo, noupenzi, nekuti chinyi chingaitwa nomunhu unotevera mambo? Izvozvo zvakanguva zvaitwa.

¹²¶ I anga ano ahau ki te matakitaki ki te whakaaro nui, ki te haurangi, ki te wairangi: he aha koia te mea e taea e te tangata e haere mai ana i muri i te kingi? heoi ano ko te mea kua oti noa ake.

¹³Ipapo ndakaona kuti, Uchenjeri hwakanaka kupfuura upenzi, zvichiita sechiedza chakanaka kupfuura rima.

¹³Katahi ahau ka kite, hira ake te whakaaro nui i te wairangi; he pera hoki me te marama e hira ake ana i te pouri.

¹⁴Meso omunhu akachenjera ari mumusoro wake, asi benzi rinofamba murima; kunyange zvakadaro ndakaona kuti vose vanowirwa nechinhu chimwe chete.

¹⁴Ko te tangata whakaaro nui, kei tona mahunga ona kanohi, a kei te pouri te wairangi e haere ana: otiia i kite ano ahau kotahi tonu te mea e pa ana ki a ratou katoa.

¹⁵Ipapo ndakati mumoyo mangu, Sezvinoitirwa benzi, ndizvo zvandichaitirwa neniwo; ko ini ndaiva wakachenjera nei ! Ndikati mumoyo mangu, izvi zvose hazvina maturowo.

¹⁵Katahi ahau ka ki ake i roto i toku ngakau: Ko te mea i pa ki te wairangi ka pa ano ki ahau nei ano hoki; he aha hoki oku whakaaro i nui ake ai? Na ko taku kianga ake i roto i toku ngakau, he horihori ano hoki tenei.

¹⁶nekuti munhu akachenjera akafanana nebenzi pakusarangarirwa nokusingaperi; nekuti zvinozokanganikwa zvose pamazuva anouya. Akachenjera haazinofa sebenzi here?

¹⁶No te mea kahore he maharatanga ki te tangata whakaaro nui, pera ano i te kore ki te wairangi a ake ake; ina hoki i nga ra e haere ake nei kua wareware noa kae nga mea katoa. Na, ko to te tangata whakaaro nui tona matenga, pera ano i to te waira ngi!

¹⁷Saka ndakavenga upenyu, nekuti basa rinoitwa pasi pezuva rakandinzwisa shungu; nekuti zvose hazvina maturo, ndiko kudzingana nemhepo chete.

¹⁷¶ Na kua kino ahau ki te ora; no te mea he he ki ahau te mahi e mahia ana i raro i te ra: he horihori katoa hoki, he whai kau i te hau.

¹⁸Zvino ndakavenga kubata kwangu kose kwandatambura kubata pasi pezuva, zvandinofanira kuzvisiira munhu anonditevera.

¹⁸I kino ano hoki ahau ki toku mauiui i mauiui ai ahau i raro i te ra: ina hoki me waiho iho e ahau ma te tangata i muri i ahau.

¹⁹Zvino ndiani angaziva kana iye achava akachenjera kana benzi? Kunyange zvakadaro achava nesimba pamusoro pokubata kwangu kose kwandakatambura kubata, nezvandakaita nouchenjeri pasi pedenga. Naizvozvowo hazvina maturo.

¹⁹Ko wai hoki e mohio ana hei tangata whakaaro nui ranei ia, hei wairangi ranei? otiia hei a ia te tikanga mo oku mauiui katoa i mauiui ai ahau, i nui ai ano hoki oku whakaaro i raro i te ra. He horihori ano hoki tenei.

²⁰Saka ndakatendeuka, kuti ndiodze hangu moyo wangu pamusoro pokubata kwangu kose kwandakatambura kubata pasi pezuva.

²⁰Na ka anga ahau, ka mea kia whakaparahako toku ngakau ki te mauiui katoa i mauiui ai ahau i raro i te ra.

²¹nekuti munhu ariko akabata nouchenjeri nezivo noumhizha; kunyange zvakadaro anofanira kuzvisiira mumwe, uve mugove wake,asina kutongozvitamburira. Naizvozvowo hazvina maturo, chinhu chakaipa kwazvo.

²¹Tenei hoki tetahi tangata kei runga nei i te whakaaro nui tana mahi, kei runga i te matauranga, kei runga i te mohio; otiia ka waiho e ia hei wahi ma te tangata kihai nei i mahi. He horihori ano tenei, he he nui.

²²nekuti munhu anowanei pamusoro pokubata kwake kose, nokushingaira komoyo wake, kwaanobata nako pasi pezuva?

²²He aha oti te tukunga iho ki te tangata o tona mauiui katoa, o te ngana o tona ngakau i mauiui ai ia i raro i te ra?

²³nekuti mazuva ake ose inhamo chete, nokutambudzika kwake kuchema; zvirokwazvo kunyange usiku moyo wake hauzorori. Naizvozvowo hazvina maturo.

²³He pouri kau hoki ona ra katoa, he ngakau mamae tona raruraru, e kore ano hoki tona ngakau e okioki i te po. Na he horihori ano hoki tenei.

²⁴Hakune chinhu chinopfuura ichi,kuti munhu adye amwe afadze mweya wake nezvakanaka pakati pokubata kwake. Ndakaona kuti naizvozvi zvinobva kuruoko rwaMwari.

²⁴Kahore he mea pai ma te tangata i tua atu i te kai, i te inu, i te mea kia whiwhi tona wairua i te pai i roto i tona mauiui. I kite ano hoki ahau i tenei, no te ringa o te Atua tenei.

²⁵nekuti ndiani angadya, ndiani angafarira chinhu kudarika ini?

²⁵Ko wai oti e nui atu tana kai, ko wai e reka ake i ahau?

²⁶nekuti munhu, anomufadza, anopiwa huchenjeri, nezivo, nomufaro; asi mutadzi anopiwa kutambudzika, kuti aunganidze nokututira, agozvipa mumwe anofadza Mwari. Naizvozvowo hazvina maturo, ndiko kudzingana nemhepo.

²⁶Ki te tangata hoki e pai ana ki to te Atua aroaro e homai ana e ia he whakaaro nui, he matauranga, he koa; ki te tangata hara ia e homai ana e ia he raruraru, ki te kohikohi, ki te amene mea mai, hei hoatutanga mana ki te tangata e pai ana ki to te Atua aroaro. He horihori ano hoki tenei, he whai i te hau.
