Vana vadzo vanowanda vagokura vakasimba musango; vanoenda uye havadzokizve.

Ndakaipa renje kuti uve musha wayo, nyika yomunyu sougaro hwayo.
7 Uhleka umsindo womuzi, angezwa imisindo yomtshayeli.
Inoseka bope riri muguta; hainzwi kudaidzira kwomuchairi.

14 Ngoba itshiya amaqanda ayo emhlabathini, iwakhudumeze othulini,
Zvirokwazvo inokandira mazai ayo muvhu igoarega achidziyirwa mujecha,
15 iyakhohlwa ukuthi unyawo lungawachoboza, lokuthi isilo seganga singawanyathela.

16 Iwaphatha kalukhuni amaphuphu ayo, kungathi kawayisiwo awayo; umtshikatshika wayo uyize, ingelakwesaba.
Inobata vana vayo noukasha, kunge vasati vari vayo; haina hanya kuti yakatambudzika pasina,

nokuti Mwari haana kuisa njere mairi kana kuipa mugove wepfungwa dzakanaka.
18 Lapho sekuyisikhathi iyaziphakamisela phezulu, ihleke ibhiza lomgadi walo.
Asi kana ikatambanudza mapapiro ayo kuti imhanye, inoseka bhiza nomutasvi waro.
19 Uzanika yini ibhiza amandla? Uyayigqokisa yini intamo yalo ngomhlonga oyephuzelayo?
“Iwe unopa bhiza simba raro kana kushongedza mutsipa waro nezenze rinopepereka here?
20 Uyalenza leqe yini njengentethe? Ubukhosi bokukhala kwalo buyesabeka.

Rinoteta risingatyi, richifarira simba raro, rigobuda richienda kundorwa.
22 Liyakuhleka ukwesaba, kalesabi, kaliphenduki phambi kwenkemba.
Rinoseka kutya, harina charinotya; haritizi munondo.
23 Phezu kwalo isamba semitshoko siyakhehlezela, umkhonto ophazimayo lomdikadika.
Goba remiseve rinorira parutivi paro, pamwe chete nepfumo nebakatwa zvinovaima.
24 Ngokuqhuqha lokufutheka liginye umhlaba; kalikholwa ukuthi ngumsindo wophondo.
Neshungu rinodya ivhu; harigoni kumira rakadzikama kana richinzwa kurira kwehwamanda.
25 Ekukhaleni kophondo lithi: Aha! Linuke impi ikhatshana, umdumo wezinduna, lokumemeza.
Pakurira kwehwamanda rinopfeza, roti, ‘Hekani!’ Rinofembedza hwema hwehondo ichiri kure, kudanidzira kwavakuru vehondo nemheremhere yehondo.
26 Ukhozi luyaphapha yini ngokuqedisisa kwakho, luselulela impiko zalo eningizimu?
“Ko, rukodzi runobhururuka nouchenjeri hwako here parunotambanudza mapapiro arwo rwakananga zasi?

Ko, gondo rinobhururuka nokuda kwokurayira kwako here richindovaka dendere raro pakakwirira?
28 Lihlala lilale ebusuku edwaleni, engqongeni yedwala leyenqaba.
Rinogara pamawere uye rinovatapo usiku; shongwe yedombo ndiyo nhare yaro.
29 Lisuka lapho lidinga ukudla; amehlo alo abonela khatshana.
Riri ipapo rinotsvaka zvokudya zvaro; meso aro anozviona zvichiri kure.
30 Lamaphuphu alo azitika ngegazi; lalapho okukhona ababuleweyo likhona.
Vana varo vanodya ropa, uye pane chakaurayiwa ndipo pariri.”
