¹Ndakaita sungano nameso angu, Zvino ndingatarira musikana seiko?

¹¶ Kua oti taku kawenata ki oku kanohi; kia whakaaroaro ahau hei aha ki te kotiro?

²nekuti mugove waMwari unobva kumusoro ndeweiko, Nemhaka yowaMasimbaose inobva kudenga ndeyeiko?

²He aha ta te Atua wahi e tuwha mai ai i runga? He aha ta te Kaha Rawa taonga tupu i te wahi tiketike?

³Ko haizi njodzi kuna vasina kururama here, Nokuparadzwa kuna vaiti vezvakaipa here?

³He teka ianei he whakangaromanga mo te tangata kino? he whiu mo nga kaimahi o te he?

⁴Ko iye haaoni nzira dzangu, Nokuverenga nhambwe dzangu dzose here?

⁴He teka ianei e kitea ana e ia oku ara, e taua ana e ia oku hikoinga katoa?

⁵Kana ndichinge ndafamba nenzira isina maturo, Norutsoka rwangu rwamhanyira zvinonyengera;

⁵Ki te mea i haere ahau i runga i te tekateka noa, a i hohoro toku waewae ki te tinihanga;

⁶(Ngandiidzwe pachiyero chakarurama, Kuti Mwari azive kusanyengera kwangu;)

⁶Kia paunatia ahau i runga i te pauna tika, kia mohio ai te Atua ki toku tapatahi:

⁷Kana kutsika kwangu kuchinge kwatsauka panzira, Nomoyo wangu ukatevera meso angu, Kana gwapa richinge ranamatira pamaoko angu;

⁷Ki te mea i kotiti ke toku hikoinga i te ara, a i whai toku ngakau i oku kanohi; a ki te mea i mau te tongi ki oku ringa;

⁸Ipapo ini ndidzvare hangu, asi mumwe ngaadye; Zvibereko zvomunda wangu ngazvidzurwe.

⁸Kati, ko ahau hei whakato, a ma tetahi atu e kai; ae ra, tukua nga hua o taku mara kia hutia atu.

⁹Kana moyo wangu uchinge wanyengerwa nomukadzi, kana ndavandira pamukova wowandaigara naye;

⁹¶ Ki te mea i whakawairangitia toku ngakau e te wahine, a i whanga ahau i te tatau o toku hoa;

¹⁰Ipapo mukadzi wangu ngaakuyire mumwe, Navamwe ngavakotamire pamusoro pake.

¹⁰Heoi kia huri paraoa taku wahine ma tetahi atu, kia piko iho ano hoki nga tangata ke ki runga i a ia.

¹¹nekuti chinhu icho chivi chakashata, Zvirokwazvo, chinhu chakaipa chinofanira kurohwa navatongi.

¹¹He kino rawa hoki tera; ae ra, he he e tika ana kia whiua e nga kaiwhakawa:

¹²nekuti ndiwo moto unopedza kusvikira pakuparadza, Ungadzura zvibereko zvangu zvose.

¹²He ahi hoki tera e kai ana ki te whakangaromanga rawa, poto noa aku hua katoa.

¹³Kana ndichinge ndazvidza mhaka yomuranda wangu kana murandakadzi wangu, Panguva yavakaita nharo neni;

¹³Ki te mea i whakahaweatia e ahau te whakawa a taku pononga tane, a taku pononga wahine, i a raua e totohe ana ki ahau;

¹⁴Ndichaiteiko kana Mwari akasimuka? Kana akandivinga, ndingapindurei kwaari?

¹⁴Ka pehea ra ahau ina whakatika te Atua? He aha taku kupu e whakahoki ai ki a ia ina tae mai ia ki te titiro?

¹⁵Akandiita mudumbu ramai haazi iye akamuitawo here? Ko haazi mumwe akatiumba isu tose mudumbu ramai here?

¹⁵He teka ranei na toku kaihanga ia i hanga i roto i te kopu? a nana, na te kotahi, i whai ahua ai maua i roto i te puku?

¹⁶Kana ndichinge ndanyima varombo zvavakakumbira, Kana kushaisa meso echirikadzi;

¹⁶¶ Ki te mea i kaiponuhia e ahau ta nga rawakore i hiahia ai, a meinga ana e ahau nga kanohi o te pouaru kia pau i te minamina;

¹⁷Kana ndichinge ndadya chimedu changu ndiri ndoga, Nherera ikasadyawo;

¹⁷Ki te mea ranei i kainga taku maramara e toku kotahi, a kihai te pani i kai i tetahi wahi;

¹⁸(Kwete, kubva paujaya hwangu yakakurira kwandiri ndikaita sababa vayo, Ndaiva muperekedzi wayo kubva padumbu ramai vangu;)

¹⁸He mea whakatupu ia naku no toku taitamarikitanga ra ano me te mea ko tona papa ahau: ko te pouaru he mea arahi naku no te kopu ra ano o toku whaea;

¹⁹Kana ndichinge ndaona munhu achiparara nokushaiwa nguvo, Kana anoshaiwa asina chokufuka;

¹⁹Ki te mea i kite ahau i tetahi e tata ana ki te mate, he kore no te kakahu, a kahore he uhi mo te rawakore;

²⁰Kana chiuno chake chisina kundivonga, Kana asina kudziyirwa nemvere dzamakwai angu;

²⁰Ki te mea kihai tona hope i whakapai ki ahau, a kihai ia i mahana i nga huruhuru o taku kahui:

²¹Kana ndichinge ndasimudzira nherera ruoko rwangu, nekuti ndakaona kuti ndichabatsirwa pasuwo;

²¹Ki te mea i ara toku ringa hei pehi i te pani, i toku kitenga he awina tera moku kei te kuwaha;

²²Ipapo fudzi rangu ngaribve pabendekete, Ruoko rwangu ngaruvhunike papfupa.

²²Na kia marere atu toku pokohiwi i roto i te peke, kia whati te takakau o toku ringa.

²³nekuti njodzi inobva kuna Mwari yakandityisa, Ndakakoniwa kuita chinhu nokuda koumambo hwake.

²³Ko te whiu hoki a te Atua taku i wehi ai; kihai hoki i taea e ahau te aha i tona nui.

²⁴Kana ndichinge ndavimba nendarama ikava tariro yangu Ndikati kundarama yakaisvonaka, Ndinovimba newe.

²⁴¶ Ki te mea i u toku whakaaro ki te koura, a i mea ahau ki te koura parakore, Ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki atu ai;

²⁵Kana ndichinge ndakafara nekuti fuma yangu yakanga yawanda, Uye nekuti ruoko rwangu rwakanga rwawana zvizhinji;

²⁵Ki te mea i koa ahau ki te maha o oku rawa, a ki te nui o ta toku ringa i whiwhi ai;

²⁶Kana ndichinge ndatarisa zuva parinohwinya, Kana mwedzi uchifamba wakachena;

²⁶Ki te mea i kite ahau i te ra e whiti ana, i te marama ranei e haere ana i tona tiahotanga;

²⁷moyo wangu ukanyengerwa pakavanda, Muromo wangu ukatsvoda ruoko rwangu;

²⁷A ka kumea pukutia atu toku ngakau, ka kihia toku ringa e toku mangai:

²⁸Nechinhu ichowo chaiva chaipa chinofanira kurohwa navatongi; nekuti ndinenge ndaramba Mwari ari kumusoro.

²⁸Na he kino tenei hei whiunga ma nga kaiwhakawa: he teka hoki naku ki te Atua i runga.

²⁹Kana ndichinge ndafarira kuparadzwa komuvengi wangu, Kana kuzvikudza panguva yaakavingwa nezvakaipa;

²⁹Ki te mea i koa ahau ki te whakangaromanga o te tangata i kino ki ahau, i whakaara ake ranei i ahau i te panga o te he ki a ia;

³⁰(Zvirokwazvo handina kutendera muromo wangu kutadza, Ndichikumbira nokupanjira kuti afe;)

³⁰Ae, kihai ahau i tuku i toku mangai kia hara, kihai i whai kia kanga tona wairua;

³¹Kana vanhu vetende rangu vasina kutaura, vachiti, Ndianiko angawana munhu usina kugutiswa nenyama yake?

³¹Ki te mea kahore nga tangata o toku teneti i mea, Tena koa te tangata kihai nei i makona i tona kikokiko?

³²Mweni haana kuvata vusiku panzira dzomumusha; Asi ndaizarurira mufambi mikova yangu;

³²Kihai te manene i moe i waho; i whakatuwheratia ano e ahau oku tatau ki te tangata haere;

³³dai ndaifukidza kudarika kwangu saAdhamu, Ndichivanza zvakaipa zvangu pachipfuva changu;

³³¶ Ki te mea i pera ahau me Arama, i hipoki i oku he, i huna i toku kino ki roto ki toku uma;

³⁴Zvandaitya vanhu vazhinji, Ndikavhunduswa nokushorwa namapoka avanhu, Ndikanyarara, ndikasabuda pamukova,

³⁴I wehi hoki ahau i te huihui nui, i mataku ki te whakahawea a nga hapu, a whakarongo kau ana, kihai hoki i puta ki waho

³⁵Haiwa, dai ndaiva nomunhu anondinzwa! (Tarirai, ndicho chivoneso changu, waMasimbaose ngaandipindure;) dai ndaiva norugwaro rwakanyorwa nomudzivisi wangu!

³⁵Aue, me i whakarongo mai tetahi ki ahau! Nana, tenei taku tohu, ma te Kaha Rawa e whakahoki mai he kupu ki ahau; me i ahau noa te pukapuka i tuhituhia e toku hoariri!

³⁶Zvirokwazvo, ndairutakura pafudzi rangu; Ndairudzika pamusoro wangu sekorona.

³⁶Ina, kua amohia e ahau i runga i toku pokohiwi; kua herea e ahau hei karauna moku.

³⁷Ndaimududzira kuwanda kwenhambwe dzangu; Ndaiswedera kwaari somuchinda.

³⁷Kua whakaaturia e ahau ki a ia te maha o oku hikoinga; rite tonu ki ta te rangatira taku whakatata atu ki a ia.

³⁸Kana munda wangu ukadanidzira kwandiri, uchindipa mhosva, Nemihoronga yawo ikachema yose;

³⁸Ki te tangi taku oneone, he whakahe ki ahau, ki te uru ano ona moa ki te aue,

³⁹Kana ndichinge ndadya zvibereko zvawo ndisina kutenga, Kana ndichinge ndarashisa varidzi vawo upenyu hwavo;

³⁹Ki te mea i kainga e ahau ona hua, he mea kihai i utua, a naku ranei ona ariki i mate ai,

⁴⁰Ipapo hutumbambeva ngahumerepo panzvimbo yezviyo, Nesora panzvimbo yebhari. Mashoko aJobho apera.

⁴⁰Na, kia riro pu te witi i te tataramoa, te parei i te taru kino. Heoi ano nga korero a Hopa.
