“Imbondiitirai mwoyo murefu kwechimwezve chinguva, ipapo ndichakuratidzai kuti pane zvimwe zvakawanda zvokutaura, ndakamiririra Mwari.
3 Ngizathatha ulwazi lwami luvela khatshana, nginike ukulunga kuMenzi wami.

5 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulamandla, njalo keyisi; mkhulu emandleni okuqedisisa.
“Mwari ane simba asi haazvidzi vanhu; ane simba, uye anozadzisa zvaakaronga.
6 Kayekeli omubi aphile, kodwa unika abayanga okulungileyo.
Haaregi vakaipa vari vapenyu, asi anopa vanotambudzika kodzero dzavo.
7 Kasusi amehlo akhe kolungileyo, kodwa balamakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyawahlalisa phakade, abesephakama.
Haabvisi meso ake pane vakarurama; anovagadza pamwe chete namadzimambo uye anovasimudzira nokusingaperi.
8 Njalo uba bebotshiwe ngezibopho, bethunjwe ngezintambo zenhlupheko,
Asi kana vanhu vakasungwa nengetani, vakabatwa zvakasimba netambo dzokutambudzika,
9 abesebatshela isenzo sabo, leziphambeko zabo, ukuthi zazilamandla.
iye anovaudza zvavanenge vaita, kuti vatadza nokuzvikudza zvikuru.
10 Uyavula indlebe yabo ekulayweni, alaye baphenduke ebubini.
Anovaita kuti vateerere kurayirwa, uye anovarayira kuti vatendeuke pane zvakaipa zvavo.
11 Uba belalela, bamkhonze, bazachitha insuku zabo kokuhle, leminyaka yabo ezintokozweni.
Kana vakateerera uye vakamushumira, vachapedza mazuva avo ose mukubudirira uye makore avo vari mukugutsikana.
12 Kodwa uba bengalaleli, bazadlula ngomkhonto, baphele bengelalwazi.
Asi kana vasingateereri, vachapera nomunondo, uye vachafa vasina zivo.
13 Labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo babuthelela intukuthelo; kabakhali esebabophile.
“Vasina umwari mumwoyo yavo vanochengeta pfundipfundi, kunyange paanovasunga, havaridzi mhere kuti vabatsirwe.
14 Umphefumulo wabo uzafela ebutsheni, lempilo yabo phakathi kwezinkotshana.
Vanofa panguva yeujaya hwavo, pakati pezvifeve zvechirume zvepashongwe.
15 Uzakhulula ohluphekayo ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, avule indlebe yabo ecindezelweni.
Asi vaya vanotambudzika anovarwira pakutambudzika kwavo; anotaura kwavari panguva yokurwadziwa kwavo.
16 Yebo, lawe wakuhuga ukuthi uphume emlonyeni wocindezelo uye endaweni ebanzi, okungelacindezelo kuyo, lokuphezu kwetafula lakho kuzagcwala amanono.
“Ari kukukwezva kubva pamuromo wenhamo, kuti akuise panzvimbo yakasununguka isina zvipinganidzo, pazvivaraidzo zvetafura yenyu izere nezvokudya zvakaisvonaka.
17 Kodwa ugcwalise isigwebo somubi; isigwebo lokulunga kukubambile.
Asi zvino waremedzwa nokutonga kwakafanira vakaipa; kutonga uye kururamisira zvakubata iwe.
18 Qaphela ulaka lungakuhugeli ekuklolodeni, lobukhulu benhlawulo bungakuphambuli.
Uchenjere kuti parege kuva nomunhu anokunyengera nepfuma; usarega fufuro huru ichikutsausa.
19 Ubengalinganisa inotho yakho, ukuthi ubungebe ecindezelweni, lemizamo yonke elamandla?
Ko, pfuma yako kana kushingaira kwesimba rako zvingakutsigira kuti urege kutambudzika here?
20 Ungakhefuzeleli lobobusuku bokususwa kwabantu endaweni yabo.
Rega kushuva usiku, kuti ukwekweredzere vanhu kure nemisha yavo.
21 Qaphela, ungaphendukeli ebubini, ngoba ukhethe lokho kulokuhlupheka.
Chenjera kuti urege kudzokera kune zvakaipa, izvo zvaunoda pachinzvimbo chokutambudzika.
22 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uziphakamisa ngamandla akhe; ngubani ongumfundisi njengaye?
“Tarira, Mwari anosimudzirwa musimba rake. Ndianiko mudzidzisi akafanana naye?
23 Ngubani ommisele indlela yakhe? Kumbe ngubani othe: Wenze ububi?
Ndianiko akamuratidza nzira dzake, kana akati kwaari, ‘Makanganisa imi?’
24 Khumbula ukuthi ukhulise umsebenzi wakhe, abahlabela ngawo abantu.
Rangarira kukudza basa rake, iro rakarumbidzwa navanhu munziyo.
25 Bonke abantu bayawubona; umuntu uyawukhangela ekhatshana.
Marudzi ose avanhu akariona; vanhu vanoritarisa vari kure.
26 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uphakeme, njalo kasimazi, lenani leminyaka yakhe kayilakuhlolwa.
Haiwa, Mwari mukuru kupfuura kunzwisisa kwedu! Kuwanda kwamakore ake hakuverengeki.
27 Ngoba wenyusa amathonsi amanzi, ahlambulule izulu njengenkungu yawo;
“Anokwevera madonhwe emvura kumusoro, anoshanduka achinaya semvura kuhova;
28 amayezi alithululela phansi, lithonte kakhulu phezu komuntu.
makore anodurura unyoro hwawo uye mvura yakawanda inonaya pamusoro pavanhu.
29 Yebo, kukhona yini ongaqedisisa ukwendlaleka kwamayezi, umsindo wedumba lakhe?
Ndianiko anganzwisisa kuparadzira kwaanoita makore, namatinhiriro aanoita ari mudenga rake?
30 Khangela, wendlala ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwawo, agubuzele impande zolwandle.
Tarirai maparadziro aanoita mheni yake pamativi ake, ichituhwina makadzika megungwa.
31 Ngoba ngawo uyehlulela abantu, anike ukudla ngobunengi.
Ndiyo nzira yaanotonga nayo ndudzi neyaanodziriritira nayo nezvokudya zvakawanda.
32 Ngezandla usibekela ukukhanya, abesekulaya ngalelo elingena phakathi.
Anozadza maoko ake nemheni agorayira kuti irove paanoda.
33 Umdumo wakhe ubika ngakho, lenkomo ngenkungu eyenyukayo.
Kutinhira kwake kunozivisa dutu remvura riri kuuya; kunyange mombe dzinoratidza kusvika kwaro.
