1 Zviri nani kuva murombo ane mafambiro akarurama,
pane benzi rine muromo wakatsauka.
2 Hazvibatsiri kushingaira usina zivo,
kana kukurumidza uchizorasika nzira.
3 Upenzi hwomunhu hunoparadza upenyu hwake,
asi mwoyo wake unotsamwira Jehovha.
4 Pfuma inouyisa shamwari zhinji,
asi murombo anosiyiwa neshamwari dzake.
5 Chapupu chenhema hachingaregi kurangwa,
uye uyo anodurura manyepo haangaregedzwi.
6 Vazhinji vanotsvaka nyasha kumutongi,
uye mumwe nomumwe ishamwari yomunhu anopa zvipo.
7 Murombo anoraswa nehama dzake dzose,

Kunyange akavatevera achidemba kwazvo

8 Uyo anowana uchenjeri anoda upenyu hwake;

11 Uchenjeri hwomunhu hunomupa mwoyo murefu;

12 Kutsamwa kwamambo kwakafanana nokuomba kweshumba,
asi nyasha dzake dzakaita sedova pauswa.
13 Mwanakomana benzi ndiko kuparara kwababa vake,
uye mukadzi anokakavara akafanana nemvura inoramba ichingodonha.
14 Dzimba nepfuma inhaka inobva kuvabereki,

15 Usimbe hunouyisa hope dzakadzama,
uye munhu asingashandi achafa nenzara.
16 Uyo anoteerera kurayira anochengetedza upenyu hwake,
asi uyo asina hanya nenzira dzake achafa.
17 Uyo anonzwira varombo tsitsi anopa kuna Jehovha,

18 Ranga mwanakomana wako, nokuti mukuranga ndimo mune tariro;

19 Munhu ane hasha zvikuru anofanira kuripa mhosva yake;
kana ukamununura, unofanira kuzomununurazve.
20 Teerera zano ugamuchire kurayirwa,
uye pakupedzisira uchava wakachenjera.
21 Mune urongwa huzhinji mumwoyo momunhu,
asi kuda kwaJehovha ndiko kunobudirira.
22 Chinodiwa nomunhu rudo rusingagumi;
zviri nani kuva murombo pano kuva murevi wenhema.
23 Kutya Jehovha kunotungamirira kuupenyu:
Ipapo munhu achazorora zvakanaka, asingawirwi nedambudziko.
24 Simbe inoisa ruoko rwayo mundiro;
igotadza kunyange kurwudzosa kumuromo wayo!
25 Rova museki, ipapo vasina mano vachadzidzawo ungwaru;
tsiura munhu ane njere, ipapo achawana zivo.
26 Uyo anobira baba vake uye achidzinga mai vake
mwanakomana anonyadzisa.
27 Mwanakomana wangu, ukasateerera kurayirwa,

28 Chapupu chakaipa chinoseka kururamisira,
uye muromo womunhu akaipa unomedza zvakaipa.
29 Kurangwa kwakagadzirirwa vaseki, uye kurohwa misana yamapenzi.
