¹Zvino zvatinobatawo pamwe, tinokumbira zvikuruwo kuti musagamuchira nyasha dzaMwari pasina.

¹Ame kai keras buchi andek than le Devleske, ame mangas tumendar te na meken te xasavol o mishtimos kai sas tume dino lestar.

²Nekuti unoti: Nenguva yakafanira ndakakunzwa, uye nepazuva reruponeso ndakakubatsira; tarirai, zvino nguva yakafanira; tarirai ikozvino zuva rekuponeswa.

²O Del mothol, "Ashundem tute kana avili e vriama, o dies le skepimasko zhutisardem tu." Eta, akana e vriama e lashi, adies o dies le skepimasko!

³Hatigumbusi nechinhu, kuti kushumira kurege kumhurwa;

³Ame mangas te na mothon ke amari buchi nai chachi, anda kodia ame rodas te na rimosaras kanikaske ande kancheste.

¹²Hamumanikidzwi matiri, asi munomanikidzwa mumoyo menyu.

¹²Chi phandadiam tumenge amaro ilo; numa tume phandadian tumaro ilo amenge.

¹³Zvino pakutsiva kwakadaro, ndinotaura sekune vana vangu, imwiwo mukuriswe.

¹³Dav tumensa duma sar te avilianas murhe shave. Keren amensa sar ame keras tumensa, phutren amenge zurales tumaro ilo.

¹⁴Musasungwa zvisina kufanira pajoko pamwe nevasingatendi; nekuti kururama kungava nekudyidzana kwei nekusarurama? Chiedza chingabatana sei nerima?

¹⁴Na thon tume kodolensa kai chi pachanpe ando Del, ke won chi malaven pala tumende. Sar sai so si vorta malavel pala nasulimos? Sar sai e vediara tholpe le tuniarikosa andek than?

¹⁵Kristu unokunzwana kwei naBeriari? Unotenda ungava nemugove wei neusingatendi?

¹⁶Sar sai e khangeri le Devleski ai le ikoni le manushenge kai chi pachan pe ando Del aven andek than? Ke ame sam e khangeri le Devleski, O Del o zhuvindo, ke O Del phendia, "Beshava ande lende, ai traiiva ande lende, me avava lengo Del, ai won avena murho narodo."

¹⁷Naizvozvo budai pakati pavo, muraurwe, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, uye musabata chine tsvina; uye ini ndichakugamuchirai,

¹⁷Anda kodia O Del mothol, "Trobul te meken le, ai te vuladion katar kodala manush kai chi pachanpe ando Del, ai nazban kanchi kai si bi vuxho, ai me lava tume mande.

¹⁸Uye ndichava Baba kwamuri, nemwi muchava vanakomana nevanasikana vangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Wemasimbaose.

¹⁸Me avava tumaro Dat, ai tume aven murhe shave ai murhe sheia, mothol O Del o Baro."
