1 UBhilidadi umShuhi wasephendula wathi:
Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
2 “Koze kube nini ukhuluma izinto ezinjalo? Amazwi akho angumoya ophenquzayo.
“Uchasvika riini uchitaura zvinhu zvakadai? Mashoko ako imhepo inovhuvhuta.
3 Kambe uNkulunkulu uyakuhlanekela ukulunga na? Kambe uSomandla uyakuhlanekela okuhle na?
Ko, Mwari angaminamisa zvakarurama here? Ko, iye Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururama here?
4 Lapho abantwabakho besona kuye, wabapha isijeziso sokona kwabo.
Vana vako pavakamutadzira, akaita kuti varangirwe chivi chavo.
5 Kanti nxa wena uzakhangela kuNkulunkulu uncenge kuSomandla,
Asi kana ukatarisa kuna Mwari uye ukademba kuna Wamasimba Ose,
6 nxa umsulwa ulungile, lamanje nje uzaphakama akusize akubuyisele esimeni sakho.
kana uri wakachena uye wakarurama, kunyange izvozvi achasimuka kuti akurwire, agokudzoserazve panzvimbo yako chaiyo.
7 Lapho owaqalisa khona kuzakhanya sekukuncinyane, ngoba ngezinsuku ezizayo uzabe usuphumelela kakhulu.
Kunyange mavambo ako akanga ari epasi pasi, ramangwana rako richava rokubudirira.
8 Buza izizukulwane ezingaphambili udinge ukuthi okhokho babo bafundani,
“Bvunza marudzi akare ugocherechedza zvakadzidzwa namadzibaba avo,
9 ngoba thina sizelwe izolo nje, kasazi lutho, lezinsuku zethu emhlabeni zilithunzi kuphela.
nokuti isu takaberekwa zuro uye hatina chatinoziva, uye mazuva edu panyika akangoita somumvuri.
10 Kambe kaziyikukulaya zikutshele na? Kaziyikuletha amazwi okuzwisisa na?
Ko, havangakudzidzisi uye vagokuudza here? Ko, havangakuvigiri mashoko anobva pakunzwisisa kwavo here?
11 Konje imihlanga ingakhula ibe mide ingekho exhaphozini na? Imizi ingaphila kungelamanzi na?
Ko, nhokwe dzingamera pasina nhope here? Ko, tsanga dzingararama pasina mvura here?
12 Nxa leyonqodi isakhula ingakaqunywa imane ibune masinyane kulotshani.
Dzichiri kumera uye dzisati dzatemwa, dzinokurumidza kuoma kupinda uswa.
13 Sinjalo isiphetho sabo bonke abakhohlwa uNkulunkulu; litshabalala kanjalo ithemba lalowo ongakholwayo.
Ndizvo zvakaita magumo avose vanokanganwa Mwari; saizvozvo tariro yavasina Mwari inoparara.
14 Lokho akuthembayo kufohlozeka lula; lokho eyeme kukho yibulembu besayobe.
Zvaanovimba nazvo hazvina kusimba, zvaanovimba nazvo mambure edandemutande.
15 Uyeyama kulobubulembu bakhe, kodwa bubhidlike; uyabambelela kubo, kodwa bukhithike.
Anosendamira padandemutande rake, asi rinobvaruka; anobatirira pariri, asi harimiri.
16 Unjengesihlahla esithelelwa kakhulu sikhula elangeni, esisabalalisa ingatsha zaso esivandeni;
Akafanana nomuti wakanyatsodiridzwa pamushana, unotandavadza mabukira awo pamusoro pebindu;
17 sinxibanise impande zaso enqunjini yamatshe, sizama ukuzuza ukugxila kuhle ematsheni.
unomonera midzi yawo pamurwi wamatombo, uye unotsvaka nzvimbo pakati pamatombo.
18 Kodwa singasitshulwa kuleyondawo, leyondawo isisilandula ithi, ‘Angikaze ngikubone.’
Asi kana ukatsemuka ukadzurwa kubva panzvimbo yawo, nzvimbo iyo ichauramba igoti, ‘Handina kumbokuona.’
19 Ngeqiniso impilo yaso iyabuna, ezinye izihlahla zibe zilokhu zikhula emhlabathini lowo.
Zvirokwazvo upenyu hwawo, hunooma, uye mimwe miti inomera ichibuda muvhu.
20 Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu kamlahli umuntu ongelasici futhi kaqinisi izandla zezigangi.
“Zvirokwazvo Mwari haarambi munhu asina mhaka uye haasimbisi maoko avaiti vezvakaipa.
21 Usazogcwalisa umlomo wakho ngohleko lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza ngentokozo.
Achazadza muromo wako nokuseka uye miromo yako nokupururudza.
22 Izitha zakho zizakwembathiswa ngehlazo, lamathente ababi azatshabalala.”
Vavengi vako vachashongedzwa kunyadziswa, uye matende avakaipa haachazovapozve.”
