Munhu ngaafambe nenzira dzouchenjeri

1Imi vanakomana, inzwai kurairira kwababa venyu;

Teererai, muzive njere.

2Nokuti ndinokupai dzidziso yakanaka;

Regai kurasha murairo wangu.

3Nokuti ini ndakanga ndiri mwanakomana kuna baba vangu,

Mwana oga akadikanwa kwazvo,

namai vangu;

4Ivo baba vakandidzidzisa, vakati kwandiri,

“Mwoyo wako ngaunatsobata mashoko angu;

Chengeta mirairo yangu, urarame.

5Zviwanire uchenjeri, zviwanire njere;

Regai kukanganwa kana kutsauka

pamashoko omuromo wangu;

6Usaurasha, hugokuchengeta;

Uude, hugokurinda.

7Uchenjeri chinhu chikuru kune zvose;

saka uzviwanire uchenjeri;

Uzviwanire njere nezvose zvaunazvo.

8Uhukudze, hugokukwiridza iwe;

Huchakuvigira kukudzwa, kana uchihumbundikira.

9Huchapa musoro wako chishongo chakanaka;

Huchakuisira korona inobwinya.”

10Chinzwa iwe mwanakomana wangu,

ugamuchire zvandinoreva;

Makore oupenyu hwako agova mazhinji.

11Ndakakudzidzisa panzira youchenjeri;

Ndakakufambisa pamakwara akarurama.

12Kana uchifamba, tsoka dzako hadzingapinganidzwi;

Kana uchimhanya, haungagumburwi.

13Natsa kubata kurairirwa; usakuregedza;

Ukuchengete, nokuti ndihwo upenyu hwako.

14Usapinda pagwara ravakaipa,

Usafamba nenzira yavakashata.

15Uinzvenge, usapinda pairi;

Tsauka pairi, upfuure hako.

16Nokuti havavati, kana vasingaiti zvakashata;

Vanotorerwa hope dzavo, kana vasingagumbusi vamwe.

17Nokuti vanodya zvokudya zvezvakaipa,

Nokunwa waini yokumanikidza.

18Asi gwara ravakarurama rakaita

sechiedza chamambakwedza,

Chinoramba chichiwedzera kubwinya

kusvikira pamasikati makuru.

19Nzira yavakaipa yakaita serima;

Havazivi chingavagumbusa.

20Mwanakomana wangu, teerera mashoko angu;

Rerekera nzeve yako kune zvandinoreva.

21Urambe uchitarira,

Uachengete mukati momwoyo mako.

22Nokuti ndihwo upenyu kuna vanoawana,

Noukukutu hwemuviri wavo vose.

23Chengeta mwoyo wako kupfuura

zvose zvinofanira kurindwa;

Nokuti mukati mawo ndimo mune zvitubu zvoupenyu.

24Bvisa kwauri nhema dzomuromo;

Kutsauka kwemiromo ngakuve kure newe.

25Meso ako ngaarurame pakutarira;

Mafungiro ameso ako ngaatarire mberi kwako.

26Gadzirira tsoka dzako gwara;

Nzira dzako dzose dzive dzakasimba.

27Usatsaukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe;

Rutsoka rwako urubvise pane zvakaipa.
