Shatho ye nlulwami
1 Kudzani Yahwe!
Kwakakombolegwa nthu unotja Yahwe,
iye unoshathila milayo yabo.
2 Zwizekugwana zwizwe zowobe ne simba mu shango,
tjizekugwana tje wakatambunuka tjowokombolegwa.
3 Bufumi ne fumwa zwimu ng'umba iye,
ne ndulamo iye imile nge kusingapele.
4 Tjedza tjobhudila bakatambunuka,
balume bana ngoni ne lubu ne ndulamo.
5 Kwakalulwamila nlume una buthu kakale eadzimana akasununguka,
unothama mishingo iye nge kwakatambunuka.
6 Ngobe nlulwami atowotshedugwa,
unowokumbugwa nge kusingapele.
7 Atotja thawu dzakabipa,
moyo uwe wakatilingindi, ugelebgwe muna Yahwe.
8 Moyo uwe wakadzikama, autotongotja,
kuswikila ebona kuyemula kukwe mu zwita zwizwe.
9 Wakakoba nge sununguko, wakapa bashayi,
ndulamo iye imile nge kusingapele,
simba lile lowotolegwa pezhugwi ngotetiwa.
10 Nlume mbi unogubona kagwadzamoyo,
unotafunanya meno awe kanyawuka kapela,
kuyemula kwe mbi akute kuli tjimwe.
