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.
