Tjililo ne kukumbila bhatsho
1 Ndzimu wangu, Ndzimu wangu, mandilashilani?
Ini muli kule zwingapa nge kundibhatsha

2 Ndzimu wangu, ndolila masikati,

Ndolila nenge busiku,

3 Koga makayengemala,

4 Bobatategulu bedu bakagalabgwe mu muli,

5 Bakalilila kumuli ngono bakatjidziwa,

ngono bakasibhakhwe nge shoni.
6 Koga imi ndi gonye andite ndili nthu,
ndolengudziwa nge bathu,
ndosekiwa nge mmwe ne mmwe.
7 Bose banondibona banondidadila,
banondihwong'ola, bedzungudza misholo,
8 beti, “Wakabiga muna Yahwe,
Yahwe ngaban'gwile, ngaban'angulile,
ngoti unoshathisiwa ndibo!”
9 Koga ndimwi makandidusa mu ntumbu.
Makanditjengeta nditji

12 Mikono minjinji yakandikomba,
mikono yakasima ye
Bhashani yakandikombeledza.
13 Inondiashamila yakazhula
milomo yayo se shumbalume
inobomba ikazandabula.
14 Ndotebugwa se vula,
mafupa angu wose akalungunuka;
moyo wangu unonga phola,
unonyawuka mukati kwe ifuba tjangu.
15 Simba langu lapela,
lulimi gwangu gonamatila mu bgwasha.
Makandiladzika mu hwuluba ye lufu.
16 Mbgwa dzakandikomba,
goko le babi lakandikombeledza,
bakabhaya maboko angu ne makumbo angu.
17 Ndingabala mafupa angu wose.
Bathu banondilingisisa bendinyenya.
18 Banokobana zwiambalo zwangu tjekwabo
bekandila kubona kuti upi unotola tjipi.
19 Koga imwi Yahwe, musibe kule!
Imwi bhatsho yangu,
libilidzani kundiangulila!
20 Mundivikile thumo;
gwilani butjilo gwangu mu simba le mbgwa.
21 Mundiangulile mu shumba.
Munditjidze mu nyanga dze nyati.
22 Ndowozibisa bakanyi kwangu zina lenyu,
ndowomukudza pakati kwe gubungano.
23 Imwi banotja Yahwe!
Mubakudze mose imwi bana ba Jakubo!
Mubalumbidze mose imwi bana ba Iziraela!
24 Abazolingila pasi kene bakashinyata
kudziyila kwe bakahwisiwa zogwadza,
abazobasumbikila buso gwabo,
koga bakahwa kukumbila bhatsho kwabo.
25 Kumukudza kwangu mu
gubungano gulu kodwa mu muli.
Ndowoshingikadza kutuna kwangu
mu mesho aibabo banomutja.
26 Bashayi banowoja bakaguta,
ibabo banoshaka Yahwe banowobakudza.
Dzene bangatjila nge kusingapele!
27 Midzibo yose ye shango
inowokumbula ikashandukila kuna Yahwe,
ne njudzi dzose dzowobanamata.
28 Ngoti bushe ngegwa Yahwe,
ngono banobusa zwitjaba.
29 Bose bafumi be shango
banowothigama benamata.
Bose be nyama ne lopa
banowothigama mbeli kwabo.
30 Zwizekugwana zwinozha zowobashingila,
Bathu banowoleba ngekwa She,
bebudza zwizekugwana zwinowozha.
31 Banowoleba ngekwe ndulamo ya She,
ku zwizekungwana zwinowozwagwa
ngobe She bakaithama.
