Mbakililo ye bathu be Ndzimu
1 Ibabo banogalabgwe muna Yahwe banonga Dombo le Ziyoni,
lisingake likatshedugwa, koga lakadzikila nge kusingapele kose.
2 Se matombo akapoteleka Jerusalema,
Yahwe na ibobo bakapoteleka bathu babo,
kudwa sangwenu kunoti nge kusingapele kose.
3 Swimbo ye bushe gwe mbipo aingagale
mu shango yakapiwa balulwami,
kuti ndizo balulwami basitongo tambunudza
maboko abo kuthama bubi.
4 Thamilani ndulamo ibabo bakalulwama imwi Yahwe,
nanga ibabo be mimoyo yakatambunuka.
5 Koga ibabo banoyendila ntome kwe zila dzabo dzakakombama,
Yahwe banobatatila kutjena ne bashingi be mbipo.
Kunyalala ngakubepo mu Iziraela!

The Lord's People Are Safe
1 Everyone who trusts the Lord
is like Mount Zion
that cannot be shaken
and will stand forever.
2 Just as Jerusalem is protected
by mountains on every side,
the Lord protects his people
by holding them in his arms
now and forever.
3 He won't let the wicked
rule his people
or lead them to do wrong.
4 Let's ask the Lord to be kind
to everyone who is good
and completely obeys him.
5 When the Lord punishes
the wicked,
he will punish everyone else
who lives an evil life.
Pray for peace in Israel!
