Zvirevo

 2 Hunomira panzvimbo dzakakwirira+ pedyo nemugwagwa,

Pamharadzano dzenzira.

 3 Pedyo nemagedhi anopinda muguta,

Pamasuo anopindwa nawo,

Hunoramba huchishevedzera zvine simba huchiti:+

 4 “Ndiri kudanidzira kwamuri, imi vanhu;

Ndinoshevedzera kuvanhu vese.*

 5 Imi vasina ruzivo, dzidzai kuva neungwaru;+

Imi mapenzi, ivai nemwoyo unonzwisisa.*

 6 Teererai, nekuti zvandinotaura zvinokosha,

Muromo wangu unotaura zvakarurama;

 7 Nekuti muromo wangu unotaura chokwadi zvinyoronyoro,

Uye miromo yangu inosema zvakaipa.

 9 Zvese zvakati twasu kumunhu ane ungwaru

Uye zvakarurama kune vaya vakawana ruzivo.

10 Gamuchirai kurayira kwangu panzvimbo pesirivha,

Uye ruzivo panzvimbo pegoridhe rakanakisisa,+

11 Nekuti uchenjeri huri nani kupfuura matombo ekorari;*

Zvimwe zvinhu zvese zvinofadza hazvingaenzaniswi nahwo.

12 Ini uchenjeri, ndinogara pamwe chete neungwaru;

Ndakawana ruzivo uye simba rekukwanisa kunyatsofunga.+

14 Ndine mazano akanaka uye uchenjeri hunobatsira;+

Kunzwisisa+ uye simba+ ndezvangu.

15 Achishandisa ini, madzimambo anoramba achitonga,

Uye makurukota anorayira zvakarurama.+

16 Achishandisa ini, machinda anoramba achitonga,

Uye vakuru vakuru vanotonga zvakarurama.

17 Ndinoda vaya vanondida,

Uye vaya vanonditsvaga vachandiwana.+

18 Ndine pfuma nekubwinya,

Upfumi hunogara kwenguva refu uye kururama.

19 Zvibereko zvangu zvakanaka kupfuura goridhe, kunyange kutopfuura goridhe rakanatswa,

Uye zvibereko zvangu zvakanaka kupfuura sirivha yakanakisisa.+

20 Ndinofamba mugwara rekururama,

Pakati penzira dzekutonga zvakarurama;

21 Ndinopa vaya vanondida nhaka yakakura,

Uye ndinozadza matura avo.

22 Jehovha akandisika kuti ndive kutanga kwenzira yake,+

Wekutangatanga pamabasa ake ekare kare.+

23 Ini ndakagadzwa kare kare,+

Pakutanga, nyika isati yatombovapo.+

24 Ini ndakaberekwa mvura yakadzika isati yavapo,+

Kusina zvitubu zvinofashukira nemvura.

25 Ini ndakaberekwa makomo asati aiswa munzvimbo dzawo,

Zvikomo zvisati zvavapo,

26 Asati agadzira nyika nemasango ayo

Kana mavhinga ekutanga evhu renyika.

27 Paakagadzira denga,+ ndaivapo;

Paakaisa denderedzwa pamusoro pemvura,+

28 Paakasimbisa makore ekudenga,

Paakaita kuti pave nezvitubu zvemvura yakadzika,

29 Paakaisa murau pagungwa

Kuti mvura yaro irege kudarika murayiro wake,+

Paakamisa nheyo* dzenyika,

30 Ndaiva padivi pake ndiri mhizha.+

Ndini waaida kwazvo+ zuva rega rega;

Ndaigara ndichifara pamberi pake;+

31 Ndaifarira nyika yake yaakasika kuti igarwe,

Uye ndaifarira kwazvo vanakomana vevanhu.*

32 Saka imi vanakomana vangu, nditeererei;

Chokwadi vanofara vaya vanochengeta nzira dzangu.

33 Teererai kurayirwa,+ muve vakachenjera,

Uye musakusiya.

34 Anofara munhu anonditeerera

Achikurumidza kuuya* pamasuo angu zuva rega rega,

Achimirira ari pedyo nemasuo angu;

35 Nekuti anondiwana achawana upenyu,+

Uye achanzwirwa nyasha naJehovha.

36 Asi anondipira gotsi ari kuzvikuvadza,*

Uye vaya vanondivenga, vanoda rufu.”+
