1 Kamweda imunhu hacholaga mvitala va iwanhu otenda gehile,

na hakwima bule mnzila ya iwanhu otenda nzambi,

na hakala bule mvigoda va iwanhu wagewezi,

2 lakini kogadeng'helela malagizo ga Mndewa Imulungu,

na kogagelegeza imisi na ikilo.

3 Ayo kaigala na biki dihandigwe kumgwazo wa vizanda,

dolela matunda mkipindi chake,

mijani yake hainyalaga.

Kila kinhu kiyotenda chomweda.

4 Iwanhu wehile haweli vivo,

lakini waigala na mipepe ihembeluswa na beho.

5 Avo iwanhu wehile ogwa kipindi cha nhaguso,

na iwanhu wene nzambi honda wawe mumo mumting'hano wa iwanhu wanogile,

6 kwavija Mndewa Imulungu koijuwa inzila ya iwanhu wanogile,

lakini inzila ya iwanhu wehile yohelela mkupotela.
