1 Ipapo Bhilidadi we N'shuhi kadabila eti,
2 “Mbuso wose ne kutetiwa ngekwe Ndzimu,
unothama kuti kube ne mbakiso mu mazhuzhugwi awe kudzimu.
3 Apa mbalo ye babhayani bawo inobalika kene?
Ndiani usingayedzegwe nge tjedza tjawo kene?
4 Ngono dumbu nthu ungalulwama mbeli kwe Ndzimu tjini wali?
Apa iye wakazwagwa nge nkadzi ungabe wakatjenapala tjini wali?
5 Bonani, ne mwedzi autopenya
ne nyenyedzi dumbu dzakatundubala mu mesho awo.
6 Ngono nthu iye kee, gonye koga
nkololo we nthu itjo ikonyana koga kee?”

1-2 God is powerful; all must stand in awe of him;
he keeps his heavenly kingdom in peace.
3 Can anyone count the angels who serve him?
Is there any place where God's light does not shine?
4 Can anyone be righteous or pure in God's sight?
5 In his eyes even the moon is not bright,
or the stars pure.
6 Then what about a human being, that worm, that insect?
What is a human life worth in God's eyes?
