Mambo
1 Shango ngeya Yahwe naiko kose ku muili,
lubumbo na bose bagele muguli,
2 ngoti bakagubamba pezhugwi kwe makungwa,
bakathama thiwa dzago pezhugwi kwe njizi.
3 Ndiyani ungatatha dombo la Yahwe?
Ndiyani unowoma mu bugalo
gwabo gwakayengemala?
4 Ndi ibabo bana maboko
mabuyanana ne mimoyo yakatjena.
Basinganginikane nge ndzimu we manyepkhwa,
basingatune kwe bupitipiti.
5 Banowoamutjila makombolelo kuna Yahwe,
kusabe ne nlandu kwabo
kowotendekwa nge Ndzimu we jidzo labo.
6 Bakajali nge be gupo linoushaka,
ibo banoshaka buso gwe Ndzimu wa Jakubo.
7 Milidzani misholo yenyu imwi mikoba!
Zhukani imwi zwizhalilo zwa ntolo
kuti ndizo mambo we tjedza angine.
8 Mambo be masimba ndiyani?
Ndi Yahwe bakasima bana masimba,
ndi Yahwe bakasima mu ngwa.
9 Milidzani misholo yenyu imwi mikoba!
Zhukani imwi zwizhalilo zwa ntolo,
kuti ndizo mambo be masimba bangine.
10 Mambo be tjedza ndiyani?
Ndi Yahwe be Mibunga,
ndibo mambo be tjedza.
