¹Asi Jobho, chidonzwai henyu kutaura kwangu, Teererai mashoko angu ose.

¹¶ Tena ra, whakarongo, e Hopa, ki aku korero, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu katoa.

²Tarirai zvino, ndashamisa muromo wangu, Rurimi rwangu rwataura mumuromo wangu.

²Nana, kua puaki nei toku mangai, kei te korero toku arero i roto i toku mangai.

³Mashoko angu achadudzira kururama komoyo wangu; miromo yangu ichataura izvo zvainoziva nechokwadi.

³Ma aku kupu e whakapuaki te tika o toku ngakau; ka korero pono oku ngutu i ta ratou e matau ana.

⁴Mweya waMwari wakandiita, Kufuridzira kowaMasimbaose kunondipa upenyu.

⁴He mea hanga ahau na te Wairua o te Atua, a na te manawa o te Kaha Rawa ahau i whai ora ai.

⁵Kana mukagona, chindipindurai henyu; Gadzirai mashoko enyu pamberi pangu, simukai henyu.

⁵Ki te taea e koe, whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau; whakatikaia au korero ki toku aroaro, e tu ki runga.

⁶Rairai, ini ndakafanana nemwi pamberi paMwari; Neniwo ndakaumbwa nevhu.

⁶Nana, ko toku anga ki te Atua he pena hoki i tau; he mea hanga nei ano hoki ahau ki te paru.

⁷Tarirai, kutyisa kwangu hakungakutyisii imi, Uye handingakuremedziyi.

⁷Nana, e kore te wehi ki ahau e whakawehi i a koe; e kore ano hoki toku ringa e taimaha iho ki a koe.

⁸Zvirokwazvo, makataura ini ndichizvinzwa, Ndakanzwa inzwi ramashoko enyu, richiti,

⁸¶ He pono kua hakiri oku taringa ki au kupu, a kua rongo atu ahau i te reo o au kupu, e mea ana,

⁹Ndakanaka, handina kudarika; Handine mhosva, hapana zvakaipa mukati mangu;

⁹He ma ahau, kahore oku he; he harakore ahau, kahore hoki he kino i roto i ahau:

¹⁰Tarirai, iye unowana mhosva kuti arwe neni, Anonditi muvengi wake.

¹⁰Na e rapu ana ia i te take riri ki ahau, e kiia ana ahau e ia he hoariri nona;

¹¹Anomana makumbo angu mumatanda, Anocherekedza nzira dzangu dzose.

¹¹E karapitia ana e ia oku waewae ki te rakau, e ata titiro ana ia ki oku hikoinga katoa.

¹²Tarirai, ndichakupindurai, pachinhu ichi hamuna kururama, nekuti Mwari mukuru kupfuura munhu.

¹²Nana, maku e whawhati tau kupu, ehara tenei mea au i te mea tika; nui atu hoki te Atua i te tangata.

¹³Munorwireiko naye? nekuti haazvidaviriri pamashoko ake ose.

¹³He aha koe i totohe ai ki a ia? E kore hoki e korerotia e ia te tikanga o tetahi o ana mea.

¹⁴Nekuti Mwari anotaura kamwechete, Kana kaviri, asi munhu haane hanya nazvo.

¹⁴¶ Kotahi hoki, ae ra, e rua korerotanga a te Atua, otiia kahore e maharatia e te tangata.

¹⁵Pakurota, kana pane zvinoonekwa usiku, Kana munhu abatwa nehope kwazvo, Kana avete panhovo;

¹⁵I te moe, i te putanga moemoea mai o te po, ina au iho te moe o te tangata, i nga moenga i runga i te takotoranga;

¹⁶Ipapo unodziura nzeve dzavanhu, Nokusimbisa kurairwa kwavo,

¹⁶Ko reira ia whakapuare ai i nga taringa o nga tangata, hiri ai hoki i te ako mo ratou;

¹⁷Kuti adzore munhu pakuvavarira zvakaipa, Nokuvanzira munhu kuzvikudza;

¹⁷Kia whakanekehia ai te tangata i tana whakaaro, kia hipokina ai hoki te whakapehapeha o te tangata;

¹⁸Kuti adzore mweya wake pagomba. Upenyu hwake hurege kuparadzwa nomunondo.

¹⁸E puritia ana e ia tona wairua kei tae ki te rua, tona ora kei riro i te hoari.

¹⁹Unorangwawo achirwadziwa panhovo yake, nokurwadza kwemafupa kunoenderera mberi;

¹⁹¶ E whiua ana hoki ia ki te mamae i runga i tona moenga, ki te ngau tonu hoki o ona wheua;

²⁰Naizvozvo hupenyu hwake hunosema zvokudya, Nomoyo wake zvokudya zvinonaka.

²⁰A whakarihariha ana tona ora ki te taro, tona wairua ki te kai whakaminamina.

²¹Nyama yake inopedzwa, haichaonekwi, mafupa ake, akanga asingaonekwi, anobudira kunze.

²¹E honia ana ona kiko, a kore noa e kitea; a purero mai ana ona wheua kihai nei i kitea i mua.

²²Zvirokwazvo mweya wake unoswedera kugomba, Nohupenyu hwake kuvaparadzi.

²²Heoi e whakatata ana tona wairua ki te rua, tona ora ki nga kaiwhakamate.

²³Kana mutumwa akasvika kwaari, Ari mushanduri, mumwe pakati pavane zviuru zvamazana, Kuti aratidze munhu nzira yakarurama;

²³Ki te mea he karere tera kei a ia, he kaiwhakaatu tikanga tetahi i roto i te mano, hei whakaatu i tona tika ki te tangata:

²⁴Mwari akamunzwira tsitsi, akati, Murwirei arege kuburukira kugomba, Ndawana dzikunuro.

²⁴Na ka tohu tera i a ia, a ka mea, Whakaorangia ia kei heke ki te rua, kua kitea hoki e ahau he utu.

²⁵Nyama yake ichava itsva kupfuura yomwana; Achadzokera kumazuva ouduku hwake.

²⁵Ko tona kiri ka ngawari atu i to te tamaiti; ka hoki iho ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga:

²⁶Anonyengetera kuna Mwari, iye achimufarira; Naizvozvo anotarira chiso chake nomufaro; Akadzosera munhu kururama kwake.

²⁶Ka inoi ia ki te Atua, a ka manako tera ki a ia; heoi ka kite ia i tona mata i runga i te koa: a ka utua e ia te tika o te tangata.

²⁷Uchaimba pamberi pavanhu, achiti, Ndatadza, ndakanganisa zvakarurama, Asi hazvina kundibatsira;

²⁷E waiata ana ia i te aroaro o nga tangata, e mea ana, Kua hara ahau, whakaparoritia ake e ahau te tika, a kahore he pai ki ahau:

²⁸Iye akarwira mweya wangu urege kuburukira kugomba, Hupenyu hwangu huchaona chiedza.

²⁸Kua whakaorangia e ia toku wairua kei riro ki te rua, a e kite toku wairua i te marama.

²⁹Tarirai, Mwari unoita zvinhu izvi zvose, Kaviri kana katatu nomunhu,

²⁹¶ Nana, e meatia ana enei mea katoa e te Atua, e tuaruatia ana, ae, e tuatorutia ana, ki te tangata,

³⁰Kuti adzose mweya wake pagomba, Kuti avhenekerwe nechiedza chavapenyu.

³⁰Hei whakahoki mai i tona wairua i roto i te rua, kia whakamaramatia ai ki te marama o te ora.

³¹Cherekedzai zvakanaka, Jobho, mundinzwei; Nyararai, ini nditaure.

³¹Kia whai whakaaro mai, e Hopa, whakarongo mai ki ahau: kati tau, a ka korero ahau.

³²Kana mune shoko rokureva, ndipindur ei, Taurai, nekuti ndinoda kukururamisirai.

³²Ki te mea he kupu tau, utua mai taku: korero, ko taku hoki i pai ai kia whakatikaia tau.

³³Kana musingadi, nditeererei; Nyararai, ini ndikudzidzisei huchenjeri.

³³Ki te kahore, whakarongo ki ahau: noho puku koe, a maku koe e whakaako ki te whakaaro nui.
