Maanḓa a bva kha Mudzimu
Phisalema, luimbo lwa ḓuvha ḽa Sabatha.
Thendo i sa tumuwi
1Muṋe washu, Waṱaḓuluṱaḓulu,
zwo naka hani ri tshi u livhuha,
ri tshi renda dzina ḽau nga nyimbo,
2ri tshi ḓivhadza lufuno lwau nga matsheloni,
nga madekwana ra anḓadza u fulufhedzea hau,
3nga tshilidzo tsha thale dza fumi,
na nga luimbo lwa mbila,
hu tshi lidzwa haripa!
4Muṋe washu,
u ntakadza nga mishumo yau,
ndi fhululedza zwe wa ita.
U lovha ha maswina a Mudzimu
5Muṋe washu,
mishumo yau yo hula hani!
Mihumbulo yau yo ṱanḓavhuwa hani!
6A si na ṱhalukanyo ha ḓivhi,

7uri naho vhavhi vha tshi simuwa unga hatsi,
na vhaitazwivhi zwi tshi vha anḓa,
vha ḓo fhedzwa tshoṱhe.
8Hone Iwe Muṋe washu u ḓi dzula u muhulwane lini na lini.
9Ngoho-ngoho maswina au, Muṋe washu,
ngoho-ngoho maswina au a ḓo lovha;
vhoṱhe vhaitazwivhi vha ḓo balanganywa.
U lalama na maanḓa a vha fulufhedzeaho
10Wo nnyombela shambo nda nga ṋari,
wa nnḓodza mapfura a netulusaho.
11Maṱo anga o vhona maswina anga a tshi kundwa,
nḓevhe dzanga dzo no ḓi pfa mutsindo
wa vhane vha mmvutshela.
12Vha fulufhedzeaho zwi ḓo vha anḓa
unga mutshevho u tshi ṱuma lurere,
vha aluwa unga mukedara wa Libanoni.
13Vho ṱavhiwa nḓuni ya Muṋe washu,
vha titima miṱani ya Mudzimu washu.
14Vha ḓo ḓi aṋwa mitshelo
naho vho no ḓi vha vha maḓuvha;
vha ḓo dzula vhe vhaswa unga miri midala,
15vha tshi ṱanziela uri Muṋe washu u ita zwone,
ndi Ene bako ḽanga, ha khakhi.
