17“Ipapo muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu,

ndinogara muZioni, gomo rangu dzvene.

Jerusarema richava dzvene;

vatorwa havachazorirwisazve.

18“Pazuva iroro makomo achachururuka waini itsva,

uye zvikomo zvichaerera mukaka;

hova dzose dzomuJudha dzichaerera mvura.

Chitubu chichaerera chichibva muimba yaJehovha,

uye chichadiridzira mupata wemiti yemiunga.

19Asi Ijipiti ichava dongo,

Edhomu ichava gwenga risina basa,

nokuda kwokurwiswa kwakaitwa vanhu veJudha,

vakateura ropa risina mhosva munyika yavo.

20MuJudha muchagara vanhu nokusingaperi,

uye nomuJerusarema kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.

21Mhosva yavo yeropa yandisina kuregerera,

ndichairegerera,

nokuti Jehovha anogara muZioni.”
