Ntembezelo we kuvikiligwa mu zwita
1 Ihwani hwi langu, imwi Ndzimu, mu kung'ong'ola kwangu;
tjengetani butjilo gwangu mu tjita tjinotjisa.
2 Mundisumbike pa kulangana kwe babi,
ne mu goko le babi,
3 ibo banokuswa ndimi dzabo se mathumo
banoleba matama anobhaya se misebe,
4 beposa balilelile bathu basina nlandu;
banolibilidza beposa kakale basingatje.
5 Banonamatila mazwimisilo abo mabiibi;
banolebeleka ngekwe kuteya matati abo pakasumbikika,
bealakana beti, “Ndiani ungatibona?
6 Ndiani ungashakisisa kabona bugebeng'a gwedu?
Tabumba nkumbulo we kulalila nge butjenjedu.”
Moyo we nthu ne njalakang'wa dzidze zwimukatikati.
7 Koga Ndzimu unowobaposa nge nsebe wawo;
banowokubadziwa tjinyolotjo.
8 Nge zila ye ndimi dzabo, Ndzimu unowobalobesa;
bose banowobabona banowotetema ngotja.
9 Ndizo mmwe ne mmwe unowotja
banowoleba tjakazhisiwa nge Ndzimu,
bakakanuka tjawakathama.
10 Balulwami ngabashathe muna Yahwe
kakale batizhile muwuli.
Bose bakatambunuka mu moyo ngabakudziwe.
