Ishe anogona kuita zvose zvaanenge achida kunze kwezviya zvingangokoneswa naMwari, asi muranda anorambidzwa nashe kuita zviya zvaanenge achidawo sokuti ari pasi pashe.
English Translation
What the subject set out to do is thwarted by the chief, and what the chief set out to do is thwarted by falling rain. The chief may carry out whatever he wishes apart from what God thwarts; the subject, standing beneath the chief, is forbidden by the chief to carry out what he too wishes.
