¹Ipapo Erifazi muTemani akapindura, akati,

¹Huchihlaiin Elipha Teman miin a dawnga, hichiin a chi hi:

²Kana munhu akaidza kutaurirana newe, iwe uchava neshungu here? Asi ndiani angazvidzora, akasataura hake?

²Min nang honhoulim pih tum leh na zadah diam? Hizongleh pau louin kua a om thei dia?

³Tarira, iwe wakadzidzisa vazhinji, Iwe wakasimbisa maoko akashaiwa simba.

³Ngaiin, mi tampi na hilhtaa, huan khut hatloute na hihhatta hi.

⁴Mashoko ako akatsigira akanga achivavarira kuwa, Iwe wakasimbisa mabvi akanga achigweda-gweda.

⁴A puklai mah na thuten a dingsaka, khuk hatloute na kipsak hi.

⁵Asi zvino zvasvika kwauri, iwe woshaiwa simba, Zvakubata, zvino wotambudzika.

⁵Himahleh tuin na tungah a hongtunga, na baha; nang a honkhoiha, na buaita.

⁶Ko kutya kwako Mwari harizi simba rako here? Kururama kwenzira dzako haizi tariro yako here?

⁶Pathian an kihtakna na muanna hi lou hia, na lametna na lampite muanhuaina?

⁷Rangarira hako, ndianiko asine mhaka akatongoparara? Kana vakarurama vakatongoparadzwa papi?

⁷Theigigein, ka honngen hi, hoih hina pia, mangthang ngei kua ahia? ahihkeileh koilaiah ahia midik satkhiaka om?

⁸Sezvandakaona ini, vanhu, vanorimira zvakaipa Navanodzvara zvakashata, ndivo vanokohwawo izvozvo.

⁸Kei muh danin, thulimlouhna leilette ahi ua, buaina tuha, huaimah atte.

⁹Vanoparadzwa nomweya waMwari, Vanopedzwa nokufema kokutsamwa kwake.

⁹Pathian huin a mangthang ua, huan a hehna mutin himanin a om uhi.

¹⁰Kunduruma kweshumba nenzwi reshumba inehasha, Nameno evana veshumba anoparadzwa.

¹⁰Humpinelkai huham leh, humpinelkai hangsan aw leh, humpinelkai tuailai hate, a kitan ta.

¹¹Shumba, yakwegura, inofa nokushaiwa zvingabata; Navana veshumbakadzi vanoparadzirwa.

¹¹Samat taksap jiakin humpinelkai tek a mangthanga, huan humpinelkai noute a dalhjak ua.

¹²Zvino ndakaziviswa shoko rakavanda; Nzeve yangu yakanzwa zeve-zeve raro.

¹²Tuin a gukin thil ka kiang a hongtunga, ka bilin huaia huauna a sangta hi.

¹³Pandangariro dzinobva pane zvinoonekwa usiku, Kana vanhu vabatwa nehope huru;

¹³Jan mengmuhna akipana ngaihtuahnate ah, mite nakpi taka a ihmut san lai un,

¹⁴Kutya nokubvunda kwakandiwira, Kwakabvundisa mafupa angu ose.

¹⁴Launa ka tungah a hontunga, linna, huaiin ka guhte tengteng a singa.

¹⁵Ipapo mweya wakapfuura pamberi pechiso changu; Mvere dzenyama yangu dzikasimuka.

¹⁵Huailaiin ka mai maah kha a paia; ka chimul a ding ta hi.

¹⁶Wakamira, asi ndakanga ndisingagoni kuona kuti akadini; Mufananidzo wangu wakange uri pamberi pameso angu; Kunyarara kukavapo, ndikanzwa inzwi richiti,

¹⁶Ka ding kinkena, himahleh huaia a kilatdan ka theikak theita keia; a lim tuh ka mit maah a oma; daihna a oma, huan aw ka jaa,

¹⁷Ko munhu, anofa, angakunda Mwari pakururama here? Ko munhu angakunda Muiti wake pakunaka here?

¹⁷Pathian sangin sithei mihing a dik zo ding hia? A Bawlpa sangin mihing siangthou zo ding hia? chiin.

¹⁸Tarirai, haatendi varanda vake; Vatumwa vake anovapa mhaka achiti mapenzi;

¹⁸Ngaiin, a sikhate ah muanna akoih keia; huan a angelte haiin a ngoh hi:

¹⁹Ndoda vanogara mudzimba dzevhu, Nheyo dzadzo dzakateyiwa paguruva, Dzinopwanyiwa sezvifusi.

¹⁹Tungman ina teng amaute hi diak na un chia, a suangphum leivuia oma, leikha maa chimsia:

²⁰Vanoparadzwa pakati pamagwanani namadekwana; Vanoparara nokusingaperi, pasina munhu ane hanya nazvo.

²⁰Jingsang leh nitak kikalin hihsiatin a om ua: theihlouh hialin khantawnin a mangthang uhi.Amau sunga a puanin-khau uh bohkhiak touh hi lou hia? a si ua, huan pilna tel louin.

²¹Ko bote retende ravo harina kuvhomorwa pamwechete navo here? Vanofa vasina uchenjeri.

²¹Amau sunga a puanin-khau uh bohkhiak touh hi lou hia? a si ua, huan pilna tel louin.
