1Munhu mumwe nomumwe ngaazviise pasi pamasimba makuru; nokuti hakuna simba risina kubva kuna Mwari; iwo aripo akaiswapo naMwari.

2Saka anoramba simba, anodzivisa zvakaiswapo naMwari; zvino ivo vanodzivisa, vanozvitorera mhosva.

3Nokuti vabati havatyisi anobata basa rakanaka, asi rakaipa. Unoda kusatya simba here? Ita zvakanaka, ugorumbidzwa naro;

4nokuti ndiye mushumiri waMwari kwauri, kuti akuitire zvakanaka. Asi kana uchiita zvakaipa, chitya; nokuti iye haabati munondo pasina; nokuti ndiye mushumiri waMwari, mutsivi wokutsamwa kunoanoita zvakaipa.

5Naizvozvo munofanira kuzviisa pasi pavo, musingadaro nokuda kwokutsamwa bedzi, asi nokuda kwehanawo.

6Nokuti nemhaka iyo munoripawo mutero; nokuti ndiwo varanda vaMwari, vanoramba vachingobatira chinhu icho.

7Ripirai vose zvavanofanira kuripirwa, Mutero kuna vanofanira kutererwa; kutya kuna vanofanira kutyiwa; kukudza kuna vanofanira kukudzwa.

8Musava nechikwerete nomunhu, asi chokudana; nokuti anoda mumwe, azadzisa murayiro.

9Nokuti izvo zvokuti, “Usaita upombwe, usauraya, usaba, usachiva; kana murayiro upi noupi,” zvakaunganidzwa pashoko rokuti, “Ude wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe.”

10Rudo haruitiri wokwako zvakaipa; naizvozvo rudo runozadzisa murayiro.

11Zvikuru ndinoreva izvozvi, zvatinoziva nguva, kuti zvino yatova nguva yokumuka kwenyu pahope; nokuti zvino kuponeswa kwedu kwava pedyo kupfuura zuva ratakatanga kutenda naro.

12Usiku hwapfuura, kwoedza; naizvozvo ngatirashe mabasa erima, ngatishonge nhumbi dzokurwa dzechiedza.

13Ngatifambe nenzira yakafanira sapamasikati; tisingafambi nokutamba kwakaipa, nokubatwa, kana noupombwe, noutere, kana negakava, negodo.

14Asi pfekai Ishe Jesu Kristu, musatsvaka kufadza nyama pakuchiva kwayo.
