“Shoko raDhavhidhi mwanakomana waJese,+
Shoko remurume akakwidziridzwa chaizvo,+

‘Kana uya anotonga vanhu ari munhu akarurama,+
Achitonga achitya Mwari,+

Mangwanani ane denga risina makore.
Zvinoita sechiedza chinovapo kana mvura yamira kunaya,
Uswa hwobva hwamera panyika.’+
5 Imba yangu haina kuita saizvozvo pamberi paMwari here?
Nekuti akaita neni sungano inogara nekusingaperi,+
Sungano yakanyatsorongwa uye isingazochinji.
Nekuti ndiyo inoita kuti ndiponeswe uye ndifare kwazvo,
Handizvo zvinoita kuti aite kuti ibudirire here?+

Nekuti haagoni kubatwa neruoko.

Anofanira kunge aine chombo chesimbi nemubato wepfumo,
Uye makwenzi acho anofanira kupiswa nemoto kusvika apera ari paari ipapo.”
