Zvirevo 3 - Shona Bible Union Version 2002（SUB）

Munhu ngaatye Jehovha, avimbe naye, amuteerere

1Mwanakomana wangu, usakanganwa kudzidzisa kwangu;

Asi mwoyo wako ngauchengete mirairo yangu;

2Nokuti zvichakuwedzera mazuva mazhinji,

Namakore oupenyu, norugare.

3Rudo nezvokwadi ngazvirege kukusiya;

Uzvisungire pamutsipa wako;

Uzvinyore pahwendefa romwoyo wako;

4Nokudaro uchawana nyasha nenjere dzakanaka

Pamberi paMwari navanhu.

5Vimba naJehovha nomwoyo wako wose,

Urege kusendama panjere dzako.

6Umutende panzira dzako dzose,

Agoruramisa makwara ako ose.

7Usazviti ndakachenjera;

Itya Jehovha, ubve pane zvakaipa;

8Zvichava mushonga womuviri wako,

Nomongo wamapfupa ako.

9Kudza Jehovha nezvaunazvo,

Uye nezvitsva zvazvose zvawakawana;

10Ipapo matura ako achazadzwa nezvakawanda,

Makate ako achapfachuka newaini itsva.

11Mwanakomana wangu, usazvidza kuranga kwaJehovha;

Usaneta nokuraira kwake.

12Nokuti Jehovha anoraira mudikanwa wake;

Sezvinoita baba mwanakomana wavo wavanofarira.

Mufaro womunhu, awana uchenjeri

13Munhu, awana uchenjeri, anomufaro,

Naiye munhu, anowana njere.

14Nokuti kuhuwana ihwo kunopfuura kuwana sirivha;

Nokupfuma nahwo kunopfuura kupfuma nendarama.

15Unokosha kupfuura korari;

Hakuna pfuma yako ingaenzaniswa nahwo.

16Mazuva mazhinji oupenyu ari

muruoko rwahwo rworudyi;

Muruoko rwahwo rworuboshwe mune pfuma nokukudzwa.

17Nzira dzahwo inzira dzezvinofadza;

Makwara ahwo ose ndoorugare.

18Ndiwo muti woupenyu kuna vanohunamatira;

Mumwe nomumwe anohubata anomufaro.

19Jehovha akateya pasi nouchenjeri;

Wakasimbisa kudenga–denga nenjere.

20Mvura iri makadzika yakadzutuka nezivo yake;

Denga rose rakadonha dova.

21Mwanakomana wangu, ngazvirege kubva pameso ako;

Chengeta uchenjeri chaihwo nokungwara.

22Ipapo zvichava upenyu hwomweya wako;

Noukomba pamutsipa wako.

23Ipapo uchafamba nenzira yako wakasimba;

Rutsoka rwako harungagumburwi.

24Kana uchivata pasi haungatyi;

Uye kana wavata pasi hope dzako dzichava dzakanaka.

25Usatya hako chivhunduso chinokuwira kamwe–kamwe,

Kunyangwe kuparadzwa kwavakaipa, kana kuchisvika;

26Nokuti Jehovha achava chivimbo chako;

Achachengeta rutsoka rwako, kuti rurege kubatwa.

Munhu ngaave nomwoyo murefu nokutendeka

27Munhu, akafanirwa, usaramba

kumuitira zvakanaka

Kana ruoko rwako ruchinge rune simba kuzviita.

28Usati kune wokwako, “Enda, ugodzokazve,

Mangwana ndichakupa;”

Kana uchinge unazvopo.

29Usafunga kuitira wokwako zvakaipa,

Zvaanogara hake newe achikutenda.

30Usarwa nomunhu pasina chipomerwa,

Kana asina kukuitira zvakaipa.

31Usagodora munhu anomanikidza;

Usatevera kunyangwe nomumwe wemitoo yake.

32Nokuti mutsauki inyangadzi kuna Jehovha;

Asi ano hukama navakarurama.

33Kutukwa naJehovha kuri mumba mowakaipa;

Asi unoropafadza ugaro hwavakarurama.

34Kana vari vadadi, anovadadira,

Asi vanozvininipisa anovaitira nyasha.

35Vakachenjera vachagara nhaka yokukudzwa;

Asi mapenzi anozviwanira kunyadziswa.
