Lumbo gwe gudzo
1 Kudzani Yahwe!
Mbilani Yahwe lumbo gutshwa,
kudziwa kwabo kumu gubungano le bagalimoyo.
2 Iziraela ngaashathile Mbumbi uwe,
bana be Ziyoni ngabashathile mambo wabo.
3 Ngabakudze zina labo ngozana,
mubambile kunozipa mu lidza thamborini ne laya.
4 Ngobe Yahwe banowana nzhazho mu bathu babo,
banonakisa banozwiyisa pasi ngokunda.
5 Bagalimoyo ngababakudze mu kukunda kwabo,
ngabambe nge shatho bali mu malalo abo.
6 Gudzo gulu le Ndzimu ngalibe mu mimoyo yabo
ne makano anotema ntha dzose mu maboko abo,
7 Kuti babgwilizile be zwitjaba,

na botumbale babo ne dziketani,
9 kuti bashingikadze sumikiliso ngekwe nlayo.
Oku i gudzo mu bagalimoyo babo.
Kudzani Yahwe!
