Ndzimu nsumikilisi wa bose
1 Imwi Yahwe, imwi Ndzimu we mbuzuludzo,
imwi Ndzimu we mbuzuludzo, dwililani ngopenya!
2 Milikani, imwi nsumikilisi we shango,

3 Imwi Yahwe, kowodza kukabe lini babi,
apa kowodza kukabe lini babi bekholisa kene?
4 Matama e mazwikudzo anotebuka mu milomo yabo
bose bashingi be bubi banozwikukumadza.
5 Banopkhwanya bathu benyu, imwi Yahwe!
Banotshambilidza lukata gwenyu.
6 Banobulaya tjilikadzi ne nzhi,
banobulaya siyang'wa.
7 Ngono banoti, “Yahwe abatobona,
Ndzimu wa Jakubo autobonesesa.”
8 Hwisisa iwe tjilengwe tjinopinda bathu bose,
zwilengwe, apa mowotjenjela lini kene?
9 Apa iye wakathama zebe aatohwa kene?
Iye wakabumba zhisho, aatobona kene?
10 Iye unolaya zwitjaba,

apa aatotjemela kene?
11 Yahwe banoziba njalakang'wa dze bathu,
kuti iphepo isina tjayakasenga.
12 Bakashatha ibabo bamunolaya, imwi Yahwe,
ne mubadiya mu nlayo wenyu.
13 Mubanyalulusa kudwa mu mazhuba e kudziyidzika,
kuswikila gomba litshigwa babi.
14 Ngobe Yahwe abangalashe bathu babo,
abatowolasha lukata gwabo,
15 Ngobe ndulamo inowobgwilila ku balulwami
ndizo bose bakatambunuka mu moyo banowoitobela.
16 Apa ndiani unoma nami mu babi kene?
Apa ndiani unondimila mu bashingi be bubi kene?
17 Ha Yahwe babe basandibhatsha
meya yangu inobe yalibilidzila kunogala mu shango yakanyalala.
18 Ndakati ndialakana kuti, “Gumbo langu lotelela,”
Ludo gwenyu gusingazunguzike, imwi Yahwe, gwakandisimisa.
19 Ha njemulo dze moyo wangu dzili njinji,
nyaladzo yenyu inoshathisa meya yangu.
20 Apa babusi babi bangashingidzana namwi kene,
ibabo banothama mbipo nge kukombamisa nlayo?
21 Banoshangana beluka gwanga ngekwe balulwami,
kakale banosumikilisa bathu lufu basina nlandu.
22 Koga Yahwe batjibe dizhilo langu,
kakale Ndzimu wangu shongwe ye dizhilo langu.
23 Banowopa babi mbayilo we bubi gwabo,
banowobalashila kutjena nge zila ye bubi gwabo,
Yahwe Ndzimu wedu unowobatshwayila.
