1 Ko, muguta zvamusisina vanhu,

Iro rakanga riri mambokadzi pakati penyika,

Pakati pavadiwa varo vose
hakuna anorivaraidza.
Shamwari dzaro dzose dzarimukira;
dzava vavengi varo.
3 Shure kwokutambudzika nokushanda zvakaomarara,
Judha akaenda kuutapwa.
Anogara pakati pendudzi;

Vose vaimudzinganisa vakamubata

4 Nzira dzinoenda kuZioni dzinochema,
nokuti hakuna anouya kumitambo yaro yakatarwa.
Masuo aro ose haasisina vanhu,

varandakadzi varo vanochema,
uye iro riri pakurwadziwa kukuru.
5 Vavengi varo ndivo vava vatongi varo;

Jehovha akarivigira kutambudzika
nokuda kwezvivi zvaro zvizhinji.
Vana varo vakaenda kuutapwa,

6 Kuyevedza kwose kwabva

Machinda aro aita senondo

7 Mumazuva okutambudzika nokudzungaira kwaro,
Jerusarema rinorangarira pfuma yose

Pakawira vanhu varo mumaoko omuvengi,

Vavengi varo vakaritarisa,

8 Jerusarema rakatadza zvikuru kwazvo,

9 Tsvina yaro yakanamatira panguo dzaro;

Kuwa kwaro kwakashamisa;

“Haiwa Jehovha, tarirai kurwadziwa kwangu,

10 Muvengi akatora

11 Vanhu varo vose vanogomera

“Tarirai, imi Jehovha, uye murangarire,
nokuti ndava munhu akazvidzwa.”
12 “Hamuna hanya here, imi mose munopfuura?
Tarirai pose pose muone.
Pano kutambudzika sokutambudzika kwangu here,

kwakauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pangu
pazuva rokutsamwa kwake kunotyisa?
13 “Akatuma moto kubva kumusoro-soro,
akautumira mumapfupa angu.
Akateya makumbo angu nomumbure
uye akandidzosera shure.
Akandisiya ndisina chinhu,
ndikapera simba zuva rose.
14 “Zvivi zvangu zvasungwa zvikaitwa joko;
namaoko ake zvakarukirwa pamwe chete,
zvauya pamutsipa wangu
uye Ishe apedza simba rangu.
Akandiisa mumaoko avanhu
vandisingagoni kukunda.
15 “Ishe akaramba
mhare dzose dziri pakati pangu;
akakokera hondo kuzondirwisa
kuzopwanya majaya angu.
Ishe akatsika-tsika Mhandara Mwanasikana waJudha
muchisviniro chake chewaini.
16 “Ndokusaka ndichichema
uye maziso angu achierera misodzi.
Hapana ari pedyo kuti andinyaradze,
hakuna anovandudza mweya wangu.
Vana vangu vari kutambudzika
nokuti muvengi akunda.”
17 Zioni rinotambanudza maoko aro,
asi hakuna munhu anorinyaradza.
Jehovha akaisa chirevo pamusoro paJakobho,
kuti vavakidzani vake vave vavengi vake;
Jerusarema rava

18 “Jehovha akarurama,
asi ini ndakamukira murayiro wake.
Inzwai, imi vanhu mose;
onai kutambudzika kwangu.
Majaya angu navarandakadzi vangu
vakaenda kuutapwa.
19 “Ndakadana kushamwari dzangu
asi vakandipandukira.
Vaprista vangu navakuru vangu

pavakanga vachitsvaka zvokudya
kuti vazviraramise.
20 “Tarirai, imi Jehovha kutambudzika kwangu!
Ndiri kurwadziwa mukati mangu,
uye ndakakanganisika mumwoyo mangu,
nokuti ndakakumukirai zvikuru.
Kunze, munondo unondiurayira hama;
mukati, munongova norufu.
21 “Vanhu vakanzwa kugomera kwangu,
asi hakuna anondinyaradza.
Vavengi vangu vose vakanzwa kutambura kwangu;
vanofara nezvamakaita.
Dai mauyisa henyu zuva ramakazivisa
kuti vagofanana nemi.
22 “Zvakaipa zvavo zvose ngazviuye pamberi penyu;

nokuda kwezvivi zvangu zvose.
Kugomera kwangu kwawanda,
uye mwoyo wangu wapera simba.”
