Ndaulo ye Ndzimu mu zwitjaba
1 Lobani phande, imwi bathu mose;
Mimililani Ndzimu mumbile pezhugwi njimbo dze shatho.
2 Ngobe Yahwe, ibo ba pezhugwizhugwi banotjisa,
ndi mambo nkulu we shango yose.
3 Bakathama kuti bathu babe pasi kwedu,
ne zwitjaba bakazwiyisa kusi kwe makumbo edu.
4 Ndizo bakatishalila lukata,
ndiko shatha kwa Jakubo iye wabanoda.
5 Ndzimu wayenda pezhugwi nge mpululu,
ibo Yahwe bayenda nge nlidzo we lunyanga;
6 Mbilani Ndzimu njimbo dze gudzo, imbani njimbo dze gudzo!
Mbilani mambo njimbo dze gudzo, imbani njimbo dze gudzo!
7 Ndzimu ndiwo mambo we shango yose,
mu nkudze nge njimbo.
8 Ndzimu unobusa zwitjaba;
Ndzimu ugele mu tjigalo tjawo tjakayengemala tje bushe.
9 Bakololo be bushe banokubungana bali bathu
be Ndzimu wa Abhurahama.
Zwivikili zwe shango ngezwe Ndzimu;
bakamilidzigwa pezhugwi tjoselele.
The Supreme Ruler
1 Clap your hands for joy, all peoples!
Praise God with loud songs!
2 The Lord, the Most High, is to be feared;
he is a great king, ruling over all the world.
3 He gave us victory over the peoples;
he made us rule over the nations.
4 He chose for us the land where we live,
the proud possession of his people, whom he loves.
5 God goes up to his throne.
There are shouts of joy and the blast of trumpets,
as the Lord goes up.
6 Sing praise to God;
sing praise to our king!
7 God is king over all the world;
praise him with songs!
8 God sits on his sacred throne;
he rules over the nations.
9 The rulers of the nations assemble
with the people of the God of Abraham.
More powerful than all armies is he;
he rules supreme.
