kuti ndivabudise kubva muIjipiti,
nokuti havana kuramba vakatendeka kusungano yangu,
neniwo ndakavasiya,

10 Iyi ndiyo sungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri,
mushure menguva iyoyo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe.
Ndichaisa mirayiro yangu mundangariro dzavo,
uye ndichainyora pamwoyo yavo.
Ndichava Mwari wavo,
uye vachava vanhu vangu.
11 Hakuna munhu achazodzidzisa muvakidzani wake,
kana munhu kudzidzisa hama yake, achiti, ‘Ziva Ishe,’
nokuti vose vachandiziva,
kubva kumuduku kusvikira kumukuru pakati pavo.
12 Nokuti ndichavaregerera zvakaipa zvavo
