1 Panzizi dzeBhabhironi takagarapo tikachema,

patakarangarira Zioni.

2 Pamikonachando apo

ndipo patakaturika mbira dzedu,

3 nokuti ipapo avo vakatitapa vakatikumbira nziyo,

vatambudzi vedu vakatigombedzera kuti tiimbe nziyo dzomufaro, vakati,

"Tiimbirei rumwe rwiyo rweZioni!"

4 Tingaimba seiko nziyo dzaJehovha

tiri munyika yokumwe?

5 Kana ndikakukanganwa, iwe Jerusarema,

ruoko rwangu rworudyi ngarukanganwe umhizha hwarwo.

6 Rurimi rwangu ngarunamatire kumusoro kwomuromo wangu,

kana ndikasakurangarira iwe,

kana ndisingafungi Jerusarema,

iwo mufaro wangu wapamusoro-soro.

7 Haiwa Jehovha, rangarirai henyu zvakaitwa navaEdhomu,

pazuva rakawa Jerusarema.

Vakati, "Rikoromorei! Rikoromorei

kusvikira panheyo dzaro!"

8 Haiwa Mwanasikana weBhabhironi, watongerwa kuparadzwa,

achafara munhu uyo achatsiva

kwauri zvawakaita kwatiri,

9 iye achatora pwere dzako

agodzirovera pamatombo.
