1 Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti,

imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,

2 Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari,

Israeri ushe hwake.

3 Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza,

Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

4 makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe,

zvikomo samakwayana.

5 Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko,

iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

6 imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe,

nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

7 Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe,

pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

8 akashandura dombo rikava dziva,

dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
