¹Tarirai, ziso rangu rakaona izvi zvose, Nzeve yangu yakazvinzwa nokuzvinzwisisa.

¹¶ Nana, kua kitea katoatia tenei e toku kanohi, kua rongo toku taringa, kua mohio.

²Zvamunoziva imi, ndinozvizivawo; Handizi muduku kwamuri.

²Ko ta koutou e mohio na, ko taku ano tena e mohio nei: kahore hoki ahau i hoki iho i a koutou.

³Zvirokwazvo, ndinoda kutaura nowaMasimbaose, Ndinoda kuzvidavira kuna Mwari.

³Ina, e whai kupu ano ahau ki te Kaha Rawa: a e hiahia ana ki te korerorero ki te Atua.

⁴Asi imwi munofukidza zvose nenhema dzenyu, imwi mose muri n'anga dzisina maturo.

⁴Ko koutou ia, he hunga tito i te teka, he rata horihori noa koutou katoa.

⁵Haiwa! Dai muchinyarara mose! Ndiko kwaiva kungwara kwenyu!

⁵Te pai na, me i mutu rawa a koutou korero! Ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki tena.

⁶Zvino chinzwai kuzvidavira kwangu, Teererai munzwe ndichizvirevera nemiromo yangu.

⁶Tena ra, whakarongo mai ki taku tautohe, maharatia nga whawhai a oku ngutu.

⁷Munoda kurwira Mwari muchitaura zvisakarurama here? Nokureva zvinonyengera nokuda kwake here?

⁷Me tautoko ta te Atua ki te kupu kino? me tautoko ranei tana ki te tinihanga?

⁸Munoda kuva nehanya naye here? Munoda kurwira Mwari kanhi?

⁸Ka whakapai kanohi koia koutou ki a ia? Ma koutou ranei ta te Atua tautohe?

⁹Ko zvakanaka kana iye achikunzverai here? imwi mungamunyengera, sezvamunganyengera munhu here?

⁹He pai ranei kia rapua ta koutou e ia? E maminga ranei koutou ki a ia, e pera me tetahi ka maminga nei ki te tangata?

¹⁰Zvirokwazvo iye achakutukai, Kana mukava nehanya pakavanda.

¹⁰He pono ka whakahe ia ki a koutou ki te whakapai puku koutou i te kanohi.

¹¹Ukuru hwake haungakutyisii here? Haangakutyisii zvikuru here?

¹¹E kore ranei koutou e mataku ki tona nui? E kore ranei te wehi ki a ia e tau ki a koutou?

¹²Mashoko enyu enjere ishumo dzamadota, zvitaviro zvenyu zvitaviro zvevhu.

¹²Ko a koutou pepeha nunui he whakatauki no te pungarehu, ko o koutou parepare he parepare paru.

¹³Nyararai, ndiregei nditaure, Ndiwirwe hangu nezvandingawirwa nazvo.

¹³¶ Kati te korero, waiho noa iho ahau, kia korero ai ahau, ahakoa pa mai te aha ki ahau.

¹⁴Ndicharumireiko nyama yangu nameno angu, Nokubata upenyu hwangu muruoko rwangu?

¹⁴He aha oku kikokiko i ngaua ai e oku niho? He aha toku wairua i waiho ai e ahau i roto i toku ringa?

¹⁵Kunyange akandiuraya hake, ndichamumirira hangu; Kunyange zvakadaro ndichazvidavirira hangu pamberi pake pamusoro pomufambiro wangu.

¹⁵Ahakoa whakamate noa ia i ahau, ka tatari tonu ahau ki a ia: otiia ka mau tonu ahau ki oku ara i tona aroaro.

¹⁶Ndirwowo ruchava ruponeso rwangu, Kuti munhu asingatendi Mwari haangasviki pamberi pake.

¹⁶Ko tenei hoki hei oranga moku; e kore hoki te tangata atuakore e tae mai ki tona aroaro.

¹⁷Inzwai zvakanaka kutaura kwangu, Kuparidza kwangu kupinde nzeve dzenyu.

¹⁷Ata whakarongo ki aku korero: kia anga mai o koutou taringa ki taku e whakapuaki nei.

¹⁸Tarirai zvino, ndarongedza mhaka yangu; Ndinoziva kuti ndicharuramisirwa.

¹⁸Na kua takoto taku mo te whakawa; e mohio ana ahau he tika ahau.

¹⁹Ndianiko achaita nharo neni? nekuti zvino ndinganyarara hangu, ndikafa.

¹⁹Ko wai ia hei totohe ki ahau? Ka whakarongo puku hoki ahau aianei, a ka hemo ahau.

²⁰Asi regai henyu kundiitira zvinhu zviviri, Ipapo handingavandi pamberi penyu;

²⁰Engari kaua nga mea e rua e meatia mai ki ahau; katahi ahau ka kore e huna i ahau i tou mata.

²¹Bvisai ruoko rwenyu kure neni; Kutyisa kwenyu kurege kundivhundusa.

²¹Kia matara atu tou ringa ki tawhiti i ahau; a kaua ahau e whakawehia e te mataku ki a koe.

²²Ipapo mudane imi, ini ndichapindura; Kana ini nditaure hangu, imwi mundipindure.

²²Ko reira, mau e karanga, a maku e whakao atu; maku ranei e korero, a mau e whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.

²³Zvakaipa zvangu nezvivi zvangu zvinganiko? Ndizivisei kudarika kwangu nechivi changu.

²³¶ Ka hia ra oku kino, oku hara? Meinga ahau kia matau ki toku he me toku hara.

²⁴Munovanzireiko chiso chenyu, Muchiti ndiri muvengi wenyu?

²⁴He aha tou mata i huna ai e koe? He aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he hoariri?

²⁵Munoda kuvhundusa shizha rinopepereswa here? Munoda kudzingana namakoto akaoma here?

²⁵E kapokapohia ranei e koe te pakawha e puhia haeretia ana? E whaia ranei e koe te papapa maroke?

²⁶Munotonga zvinhu zvinovava pamusoro pangu, Munondidyisa nhaka yezvakaipa Zvujaya hwangu;

²⁶Kei te tuhituhi na hoki koe i nga mea kawa moku, e mea ana hoki kia riro mai i ahau nga he o toku taitamarikitanga.

²⁷Munomana makumbo angu mumatanda, nokucherekedza nzira dzangu dzose; Munotarira tsoka dzamakumbo angu muganhu;

²⁷Karapitia iho e koe oku waewae ki te rakau, he mea tohu nau oku ara katoa, a he mea tuhi nau oku takahanga waewae tawhio noa:

²⁸Kunyange ndakafanana nechinhu chakaora chinopera, Senguvo yapedzwa nezvifusi.

²⁸Ahakoa toku rite kei te mea pirau, e memeha noa ana, kei te kakahu e kainga ana e te purehurehu.
