¹Izvowo ndizvo zvirevo zvaSo­romoni, zvakanyorwa navanhu vaHezekia mambo wavaJudha,

¹¶ He whakatauki ano enei na Horomona, he mea tuhi e nga tangata a Hetekia kingi o Hura.

²Ndiko kukudzwa kwaMwari kuti avanze chinhu; Asi kukudzwa kwamadzimambo ndiko kuti vanzvere mhosva.

²¶ Ko to te Atua whakakororia, he hunga mea; ko to nga kingi whakakororia he rapu mea.

³Kukwirira kwedenga, nokudzika kwenyika, Nemoyo yamadzimambo hazvibviri kunzverwa.

³Ko te rangi mo te tiketike, ko te whenua mo te hohonu, a ko te ngakau o nga kingi, te taea te rapu.

⁴Bvisa marara pasirivha, Muumbi agobudisirwa hari.

⁴¶ Tahia atu te para i te hiriwa, a ka puta mai he oko ma te kaitahi para:

⁵Bvisa akaipa pamberi pamambo, Chigaro chake choushe chisimbiswe nokururama.

⁵Tangohia atu te tangata kino i te aroaro o te kingi, a ka u tona torona i runga i te tika.

⁶Usava namanyawi pamberi pamambo; Usamira panzvimbo yavakuru.

⁶¶ Kei whakaputa i a koe ki mua i te aroaro o te kingi, kei tu hoki ki te wahi o nga metararahi.

⁷nekuti zviri nani kuti vati kwauri, Kwira pano, Pakuti uninipiswe pamberi pomuchinda. Wawaona nameso ako.

⁷He pai he hoki kia kiia mai ki a koe, Haere mai ki runga nei; i te mea kia whakahokia iho koe ki raro i te aroaro o te rangatira i kitea nei e ou kanohi.

⁸Usakurumidza kundoita nharo; nekuti uchazodini pashure, Kana wokwako akunyadzisa?

⁸¶ Kei hohoro te haere ki te ngangare, kei kore e kitea e koe tau e mea ai i tona mutunga iho, ina meinga koe e tou hoa kia whakama.

⁹Rangana nowakaipa pamusoro pemhosva iri pakati penyu, Asi usareurura zvakavanzika zvomumwe;

⁹Tohea tau tohe ki tou hoa tonu, a kaua e whakina te mea hunga a tetahi:

¹⁰Kuti mumwe anozvinzwa arege kukutuka, Guhwa rako rikasaguma.

¹⁰Kei kohukohutia koe e te tangata i rongo, a kore ake tou ingoa kino e tahuri atu.

¹¹Shoko rinotaurwa nenguva yakafanira, Rakafanana namatamba endarama mumidziyo yesirivha.

¹¹¶ He kupu i tika te korero, ko tona rite kei nga a poro koura i roto i nga kete hiriwa.

¹²Murairi akachenjera panzeve inoteerera, Zvakafanana nechindori chenzeve chendarama noukomba hwendarama yakaisvonaka.

¹²He pera i te whakakai koura, i te whakapaipai koura parakore koia ano te ako a te whakaaro nui ki te taringa rongo.

¹³Nhume yakatendeka kuna vanoituma yakafanana nokutonhorera kwechando panguva yokukohwa; nekuti anoponesa mweya yavatenzi vayo.

¹³¶ Rite tonu ki te matao o te hukarere i te kotinga witi te karere pono ki ona kaingare; ka ora hoki i a ia te ngakau o ona ariki.

¹⁴Munhu anozvirumbidza pamusoro pechipo chenhema, Akafanana namakore nemhepo zvisina mvura.

¹⁴¶ He pera i nga kapua me te hau uakore, koia ano te rite o te tangata e whakamanamana ana ki ana hakari horihori.

¹⁵Mubati anokundwa kana achiitirwa moyo murefu, Uye rurimi runyoro runovhuna mafupa.

¹⁵¶ Ma te roa e whakamanawanui ana ka whakaae mai ai te kingi, a ma te arero ngawarika mangungu ai te wheua.

¹⁶Wawana uchi here? Chidya hunokuringana, Kuti urege kuzvimbirwa nahwo, ukahurutsa.

¹⁶¶ Kua kitea e koe he honi? Kainga ko te wahi e makona ai koe; kei ki rawa koe i taua mea, ka ruakina e koe.

¹⁷Rutsoka rwako ngarurege kuwanza kupinda paimba yowokwako; Arege kuzoneta newe, akakuvenga.

¹⁷¶ Kia takitahi tou waewae ki te whare o tou hoa; kei hoha ia ki a koe, a ka kino ki a koe.

¹⁸Munhu anopupurira wokwake nhema, Akafanana netsvimbo, nomunondo, nomuseve unopinza.

¹⁸¶ Ko te tangata e whakaatu teka ana mo tona hoa, he patu ia, he hoari, a he pere koi.

¹⁹Kutenda munhu asina kutendeka panguva yenhamo, Kwakafanana nezino rakagurika norutsoka rwakashodoka.

¹⁹¶ Ko te whakawhirinaki ki te tangata tinihanga i te wa o te raru, e rite ana ki te niho whati, ki te waewae kua takoki.

²⁰Somunhu anobvisa nguvo kana kuchitonhora, uye sevhiniga kana ichiiswa pasoda, Ndizvo zvakaita munhu anoimbira moyo unorwadza nziyo.

²⁰¶ Ko te tangata e waiata ana ki te ngakau pouri, e rite ana ki te tangata e whakarere ana i te kakahu i te rangi maeke, ki te winika hoki i runga i te houra.

²¹Kana muvengi wako ane nzara, umupe zvokudya adye; Kana ane nyota, umupe mvura amwe.

²¹¶ Ki te matekai tou hoariri whangaia ki te taro; ki te matewai whakainumia ki te wai;

²²nekuti uchatutira mazimbe omoto pamusoro wake, Uye Jehovha achakuripira.

²²Ka purangatia hoki e koe he waro kapura ki tona mahunga, a ka utua tau e Ihowa.

²³Mhepo inobva kumaodzanyemba inouyisa mvura; Saizvozvo rurimi runa makuhwa runouyisa chiso chakatsamwa.

²³¶ E mauria ana mai e te hauraro he ua: e peratia ana hoki e te arero ngautuara, he kanohi pukuriri.

²⁴Zviri nani kugara pakona redenga, Pakugara muimba imwe nomukadzi unokakavara.

²⁴¶ He pai ke te noho i te kokonga o te tuanui, i te noho tahi me te wahine ngangare i roto i te whare mahorahora.

²⁵Shoko rakanaka, rinobva kunyika iri kure, Rakafanana nemvura inotonhorera kumweya ane nyota.

²⁵¶ He rongo pai no te whenua tawhiti, tona rite kei nga wai matao ki te wairua matewai.

²⁶Munhu akarurama, anozununguka pamberi pavakaipa, Akafanana netsime rakabvongodzwa nechitubu chine tsvina.

²⁶¶ Me te manawa whenua i takatakahia, me te puna i whakaparuparutia, koia ano te tangata tika e hinga ana i te aroaro o te tangata kino.

²⁷Hazvina kunaka kudya uchi huzhinji; Asi kunzvera zvinorema ndiko kukudzwa.

²⁷¶ Ehara i te mea pai te kai nui i te honi; waihoki ko a te tangata rapu i to ratou ake kororia ehara i te kororia.

²⁸Munhu asingadzori mweya wake, Akafanana neguta rakaputswa, risina rusvingo.

²⁸¶ Ko te tangata e kore nei e pehi i tona wairua, e rite ana ki te pa kua pakaru, kahore ona taiepa.
