¹Munyengetero womuporofita Habhakuki, unoimbwa neShigionoti.

²Aiwa, Jehovha, ndakanzwa mashoko enyu, ndikatya; Aiwa, Jehovha,mutsai basa renyu pakati pamakore; Rizivisei pakati pamakore; Pakutsamwa kwenyu rangarirai nyasha.

³Mwari anouya achibva Temani, Naiye Mutsvene achibva pagomo reParani. Sera. Umambo hwake hunofukidza denga rose, Nyika izere nokurumbidzwa kwake.

⁴Kupenya kuripo kwakafanana nechiedza; kwezuva kunobuda paruoko rwake, ndipo paiva nokuvigwa kwesimba rake.

⁵Hosha yakaipa inomutungamirira, Mazimbe omoto anobuda patsoka dzake.

⁶Anomira achiyera nyika; Anotarira, ndokuparadza marudzi avanhu; Makomo asingaperi anopararira; Zvikomo zvisingaperi zvinokotama; Nzira dzake ndedzekare-kare.

⁷Ndinoona matende eKushani ari panhamo; Micheka yamatende enyika yeMidhiani anodedera.

⁸Ko Jehovha akatsamwira nzizi here? Hasha dzenyu dzakamukira nzizi here? Kutsamwa kwenyu kwakamukira gungwa here, Zvamunotasva mabhiza enyu, Muchifamba nengoro dzenyu dzoruponeso?

⁹Uta bwenyu hwakafukurwa kwazvo; Shamhu dzakapikirwa neshoko renyu. Makaparura nyika nenzizi.

¹⁰Makomo akakuonai akatya, Kudira kwemvura kwakapfuura; Pakadzika pakabudisa izwi rapo, Pakasimudzira maoko apo kumusoro.

¹¹Zuva nomwedzi zvakamira paugaro hwazvo, Zvichiona chiedza chemiseve yenyu ichipfuura, Zvichiona kupenya kwepfumo renyu rinobwinya.

¹²Makatsika nyika makatsamwa, Makapura ndudzi mune hasha.

¹³Makabuda kuzoponesa vanhu venyu, Kuzoponesa muzodziwa wenyu; Makakuvadza musoro weimba yowakaipa, Muchifukura nheyo kusvikira kumutsipa wayo.

¹⁴Makabvovora misoro yavarwi vake namapfumo ake; Vakauya sechamupupuri kundiparadza; Kufara kwavo kwakaita sokwavanopedza varombo pakavanda.

¹⁵Makatsika gungwa namabhiza enyu, Iwo murwi wemvura zhinji.

¹⁶Ndakanzwa, muviri wangu ukadedera, Miromo yangu yakadedera ndichinzwa izwi; Kuora kwakapinda mumafupa angu, ndikadedera pandakanga ndiri, nekuti ndinofanira kumirira zuva renjodzi ndinyerere, Kana iye, anozorwa navanhu, achivawira.

¹⁷nekuti kunyange muonde ukasatunga maruva, Nemizambiringa ikashaiwa zvibereko, Kunyange kubereka komuorivhi kukakona, Neminda ikasabereka zvokudya; Kunyange makwai akapera muchirugu, Nemombe dzikashaikwa mumatanga,

¹⁸Kunyange zvakadaro ndichafara kwazvo muna Jehovha, Ndichava nomufaro muna Mwari woruponeso rwangu.

¹⁹Jehovha Ishe isimba rangu, Anoita tsoka dzangu dzive setsoka dzehadzi yenondo, Anondifambisa pamatunhu angu akakwirira. Kumutungamiriri wokuimba, nemitengeramwa yangu.
