Vose vakanga vachimuziva kare vakati vamuona achiprofita pamwe chete navaprofita, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Chiiko ichi chaitika kumwanakomana waKishi? Sauro ava pakati pavaprofitawo here?” 
Mumwe murume aigarako akapindura achiti, “Zvino baba vavo ndiani?” Saka chakava chirevo chokuti, “Sauro ava pakati pavaprofitawo here?”

Asi iye zvino maramba Mwari wenyu, anokuponesai panjodzi dzenyu nenhamo dzenyu. Uye makati, ‘Kwete, isai mambo pamusoro pedu.’ Saka zvino chiuyai pamberi paJehovha muri mumarudzi enyu nedzimba dzenyu.”
