14 “Munhu akaberekwa nemukadzi,

Anorarama kwenguva pfupi+ uye akamomoterwa nenhamo.+

 2 Anobuda seruva, osvava;*+

Anotiza semumvuri, onyangarika.+

 3 Chokwadi, ziso renyu rinoramba rakamutarisa,

Uye munoita kuti auye kudare kuti mutonganiswe naye.*+

 5 Kana mazuva aachararama akasarudzwa,

Ndimi munoziva kuwanda kwemwedzi yake;

Makamuisira muganhu kuti arege kuudarika.+

 6 Bvisai maziso enyu paari kuti azorore,

Kusvikira apedza zuva rake sezvinoita munhu wemaricho.+

Kana ukatemwa, iwo uchatungirazve,

Uye nhungirwa dzawo dzicharamba dzichikura.

 8 Kana mudzi wawo ukakurisa uri muvhu

Uye chigutsa chawo chikafira muvhu,

 9 Pachinongonzwa kunhuhwirira kwemvura, chichatungira;

Uye chichabudisa mapazi semuti mutsva.

10 Asi munhu anofa, orara asisina chaanokwanisa;

Munhu paanofa, anenge aenda kupi?+

11 Mvura inonyangarika mugungwa,

Uye rwizi runopwa, rwooma.

Havazomuki kusvikira denga risisiko,

Uyewo havazomutswi pahope dzavo.+

13 Haiwa, dai manga mandivanza henyu muGuva,*+

Dai manga mandivanza kusvikira kutsamwa kwenyu kwapfuura,

Dai manga manditemera nguva, mozondiyeuka!+

Ndichamirira mazuva ese ebasa rangu rekumanikidzwa,

Kusvikira ndasunungurwa.+

16 Asi iye zvino muri kuramba muchiverenga nhanho yangu imwe neimwe;

Munongotsvaga chivi changu chete.

17 Kudarika kwangu kwanamirwa muhomwe,

Uye manama chivi changu neguruu.

18 Sekuwa kunoita gomo roparara

Uye sedombo rinobviswa panzvimbo paro,

19 Sekuchera kunoita mvura matombo

Uye sekuyerera kwainoita ichikukura ivhu,

Imi makaparadza tariro yemunhu.

20 Munoramba muchimukurira kusvikira aparara;+

Munoshandura zvaanenge ari, momudzinga.

21 Vanakomana vake vanokudzwa, asi iye haazvizivi;

Vanoshoreka, asi iye haazvizivi.+

22 Anongorwadziwa paanenge achiine nyama yake chete;

Anongochema* paanenge achiri mupenyu chete.”
