1Inzwai izvi, imi vanhu mose;
2vapasi navapamusoro,
3Muromo wangu uchataura nouchenjeri;
4Ndicharerekera nzeve yangu kuchirahwe;
5Ndinotyireiko kana mazuva akaipa achiuya,
6vaya vanovimba nepfuma yavo
7Hakuna munhu angadzikinura upenyu hwomumwe
8rudzikinuro rwoupenyu runokosha,
9kuti ararame nokusingaperi
10Nokuti vose vanogona kuona kuti vanhu vakachenjera vanofa;
11Marinda avo achagara ari dzimba dzavo nokusingaperi,
12Asi munhu, kunyange ane pfuma yake, haagari;
13Ndiwo magumo aivavo vanovimba nezvavanoita,
14Samakwai vakatarirwa kuenda kuguva,
15Asi Mwari achadzikinura upenyu hwangu kubva muguva,
16Usanyanya kutya kana munhu apfuma,
17nokuti haana chaachatora paanofa;
18Kunyange paairarama aizviti akaropafadzwa,
19achabatana norudzi rwamadzibaba ake,
