Ɀireʋo 4 - Original Shona Union Bible 1949 (Doke Orthography)（SUB1949）

Munhu ŋgaafambe nenzira dzoʋucenjeri.

1Imi ʋanakomana, inzwai kurairira kwaɓaɓa ʋenyu;

Tererai, muziʋe njere.

2Nokuti ndinokupai dzidziso yakanaka;

Regai kurasha murairo waŋgu.

3Nokuti ini ndakaŋga ndiri mŋanakomana kunaɓaɓa ʋaŋgu,

Mŋana wakaɗikanwa kwaɀo, mumŋe woga pamberi pamai ʋaŋgu;

4Iʋo ɓaɓa ʋakandidzidzisa, ʋakati kwandiri:

Mŋoyo wako ŋgaunatso‐ɓata mashoko aŋgu;

Ceŋgeta mirairo yaŋgu, urarame.

5Ɀiwanire ʋucenjeri, ɀiwanire njere;

Rega kukaŋganwa kana kutsauka pamashoko omuromo waŋgu;

6Usaʋurasha, ʋugokuceŋgeta;

Uʋuɗe, ʋugokurinda.

7Ʋucenjeri cinhu cikuru kuneɀose; saka uɀiwanire ʋucenjeri;

Uɀiwanire njere neɀose ɀaunaɀo.

8Uʋukudze, ʋugokukwiridza iwe;

Ʋucakuʋigira kukudzwa, kana uciʋumbundikira.

9Ʋucapa musoro wako cishoŋgo cakanaka;

Ʋucakuisira korona inobginya.

10Cinzwa iwe mŋanakomana waŋgu, ugamucire ɀandinoreʋa;

Makore oʋupenyu bgako agoʋa mazhinji.

11Ndakakudzidzisa panzira yoʋucenjeri;

Ndakakufambisa pamakwara akarurama.

12Kana ucifamba, tsoka dzako hadziŋgapiŋganidzwi;

Kana ucimhanya, hauŋgagumburwi.

13Natsa kuɓata kurairirwa; usakuregedza;

Ukuceŋgete, nokuti ndibgo ʋupenyu bgako.

14Usapinda pagwara raʋakaipa,

Usafamba nenzira yaʋakashata.

15Uinɀeŋge, usapinda pairi;

Tsauka pairi, upfuʋure hako.

16Nokuti haʋaʋati, kana ʋasiŋgaiti ɀakashata;

Ʋanotorerwa hope dzaʋo, kana ʋasiŋgagumbusi ʋamŋe.

17Nokuti ʋanodya ɀokudya ɀeɀakaipa,

Nokunwa waini yokumanikidza.

18Asi gwara raʋakarurama rakaita seciedza camambakwedza,

Cinoramba ciciwedzera kubginya kuȿikira pamasikati makuru.

19Nzira yaʋakaipa yakaita serima;

Haʋaziʋi ciŋgaʋagumbusa.

20Mŋanakomana waŋgu, terera mashoko aŋgu;

Rerekera nzeʋe yako kuneɀandinoreʋa.

21Urambe uciatarira,

Uaceŋgete mukati momŋoyo mako.

22Nokuti ndibgo ʋupenyu kunaʋanoawana,

Noʋukukutu bgenyama yaʋo yose.

23Ceŋgeta mŋoyo wako kupfuʋura ɀose ɀinofanira kurindwa;

Nokuti mukati mawo ndi’mo muneɀituɓu ɀoʋupenyu.

24Bvisa kwauri nhema dzomuromo;

Kutsauka kwemiromo ŋgakuʋe kure newe.

25Meso ako ŋgaarurame pakutarira;

Mafuŋgiro ameso ako ŋgaatarire mberi kwako.

26Gadzirira tsoka dzako gwara;

Nzira dzako dzose dziʋe dzakasimba.

27Usatsaukira kurudyi kana kuruɓoshwe;

Rutsoka rwako urubvise paneɀakaipa.
