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 samakondohwe, zvikomo samakwayana.
5 Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,
6 imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondohwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?
7 Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,
8 akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
