1 “Seiko Wamasimba Ose asingatari nguva dzokutonga?
Seiko avo vanomuziva vachitarisira mazuva akadai pasina?
2 Vanhu vanobvisa mabwe omuganhu;
vanofudza makwai avakaba.
3 Vanotinha mbongoro dzenherera,
uye vanotora nzombe yechirikadzi vachiita rubatso.
4 Vanodzinga vanoshayiwa kubva panzira,
uye vanomanikidza varombo vose venyika kundovanda.
5 Sezvinoita mbizi murenje,
varombo vanobuda vachienda kumabasa avo, okukwara-kwara zvokudya;
gwenga rinopa vana varo zvokudya.
6 Vanosunganidza uswa mumasango,
uye vanononga mazambiringa muminda yavakaipa.
7 Vashaya nguo, vagovata usiku hwose vasina zvavakapfeka
uye vanoshayiwa zvokufuka muchando.
8 Vanototeswa nemvura inonaya mumakomo,
uye vanombundikira matombo nokuda kwokushayiwa pokuvanda.
9 Mwana nherera anobvutwa kubva pazamu;
mwana mucheche womurombo anotorwa nokuda kwechikwereti.
10 Nokushayiwa zvokufuka, vanongofamba-famba havo vasina kupfeka;
vanotakura zvisote, asi vane nzara.
11 Vanopwanya maorivhi pakati pemihoronga;
vanotsika zvisviniro zvewaini, asi vanofa nenyota.
12 Kugomera kwavanhu vanofa kunonzwika muguta,
uye mweya yavakakuvadzwa inochema kuti ibatsirwe.
Asi Mwari haana munhu waanopa mhosva.
13 “Varipo vanomukira chiedza,
vasingambozivi nzira dzacho kana kugara mumakwara acho.
14 Panongovira zuva, muurayi anobva amuka, uye anouraya varombo navanoshayiwa;
panguva dzousiku anonyahwaira sembavha.
15 Ziso remhombwe rinomirira rubvunzavaeni;
anofunga achiti, ‘Hakuna ziso richandiona,’
uye anogara akavanza chiso chake.
16 Vanhu vanopaza dzimba murima,
asi masikati vanozvipfigira mukati madzo;
havana chokuita nechiedza.
17 Kwavari vose zvavo, rima guru ndiwo mangwanani avo;
vanoita ushamwari nokutyisa kwerima.
18 “Nyamba ivo ifuro riri pamusoro pemvura;
mugove wavo wenyika wakatukwa,
zvokuti hakuna munhu achaenda kuminda yemizambiringa.
19 Kupisa nokuoma sezvakunobvisa chando chanyunguduka,
saizvozvo guva rinobvuta vaya vakatadza.
20 Chizvaro chinovakanganwa, honye inovadya;
vanhu vakaipa havacharangarirwizve asi vakavhunwa somuti.
21 Vanovandira mukadzi asingabereki, asina mwana,
uye havaitiri chirikadzi tsitsi.
22 Asi Mwari anokwekweredza vane simba nesimba rake;
kunyange vakasimbiswa, havana chokwadi noupenyu hwavo.
23 Angavarega zvavo vakazorora vachifungidzira kuti vakachengetedzwa;
asi meso ake ari panzira dzavo.
24 Vanosimudzirwa kwechinguva chiduku, gare gare vaenda;
vanodukupiswa vagounganidzwa savamwe vose,
vanochekwa sehura dzezviyo.
