1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko?
Chimbonyatsofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.
3 Tinobatirweiko semombe
uye tichionekwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?
4 Iyewe unozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwako,
nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here?
Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?
5 “Mwenje weakaipa unodzimwa;
murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.
6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima;
mwenje uri parutivi pake unodzima.
7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika;
mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.
8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure,
uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.
9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho;
rugombe runomubatisisa.
10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake;
musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.
11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose,
uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.
12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira;
njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.
13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake;
dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.
14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro
agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa kwazvo.
15 Moto unogara mutende rake;
safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.
16 Moto unogara mutende rake;
uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.
17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika;
haana zita munyika.
18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima,
uye anodzingwa panyika.
19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake,
hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.
20 Varume vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake;
varume vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya kukuru.
21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomurume akaipa;
iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
