2Muṋe washu
ndi Ene nungo dzanga,
ndi Ene luimbo lwanga,
ndi Ene o ntshidzaho.
Ndi Ene Mudzimu wanga, ndi a mu renda;

3Muṋe washu ndi Muhali; u pfi Yahavee.
4O posa gariki dza nndwa na mmbi ya Farao lwanzheni;

vho nwela khothe Lwanzheni lwa Ṱhanga.
5Mativha o vha tibedza;
vho ṋupela fhasi unga tombo.
6“Muṋe washu, tshanḓa tshau tshauḽa
tshi na maanḓa a kanukisaho,
Muṋe washu,

7Vhugala hau ndi vhuhulu, u kuekanye maswina au;
u bvisa mbiti dzau dza vha fhisa unga maṱanga.
8U tshi tou fumula ningo yau,
maḓi a mbo ḓi imiswa a si tsha ela,
magabelo a ima e tswi unga luvhondo,
ngomu tshivhindini tsha lwanzhe mativha a rindila.
9“Swina ḽo ri,
‘Ndi ḓo vha tevhelela nda vha fara,
ndi ḓo kovhekanya zwe nda thuba,
nda ḓiphiṋa ngazwo;
ndi ḓo angaladza pfumo,
thundu dzavho dza vha dzanga.’
10Wo fema luthihi fhedzi, lwanzhe lwa vha tibedza;
vho ṋupela unga mutobvu maḓini a ofhisaho.
11“Muṋe washu, ndi nnyi ane a nga Iwe kha midzimu?
Ndi nnyi a re na vhugala vhukhethwa unga Iwe?
U ofhisa nga zwihulu zwine wa ita;
vhukuma u ita zwimangadzo.
12Wo angaladza tshanḓa tshau tshauḽa,
ḽifhasi ḽa vha mila!
13Vhathu vhe wa vha vhofholola wo vha endedza
nga lufuno lwau lu sa shanduki;
u ḓo vha isa shangoni ḽau ḽikhethwa
nga maanḓa au.
14Tshakha dzi tshi pfa zwenezwo, dzi a tetemela;
Vhafilista vha farwa nga nyofho.
15Vhavhusi vha Edomo zwino vho hanganea,
vhahulwane vha Muaba vha farwa nga mutetemelo,
vhadzulapo vha Kanana vha kulea nungo.
16Vha ḓo farwa nga nyofho vha tshenuwa;
vha ḓo rindila vha nga tombo nga maanḓa a tshanḓa tshau,
Muṋe washu,
vhathu vhau vha vhuya vha fhira –
vhathu vhau vhe wa ḓiwanela.
17U ḓo vha ḓisa wa vha sima thavhani ine ya vha yau,
fhethu he wa hu ita vhudzulo hau,
Iwe Muṋe washu,

ho fhaṱwaho nga zwanḓa zwau.
18Muṋe washu u ḓo vha khosi lini na lini.”
