Thendo
1Mudzimu, ndo rudza mbilu.
Ndi ḓo imba nda u renda;
mbilu yanga i tama zwenezwo.
2Haripa na mbila, vuwani!
Ndi ḓo vusa mapfuvhi!
3Muṋe washu, ndi ḓo u renda tshakha dzi tshi zwi pfa,
ndi ḓo u imbela vhukati ha dzitshakha.
4Lufuno lwau lu ṋanzwa makole,
u fulufhedzea hau hu swika lutomboni.
5Mudzimu, hula u fhire makole,
vhugala hau vhu alame ḽifhasi ḽoṱhe!
Tshanḓa tsha Mudzimu tshi tshidzaho
6Ri fhindule u ri tshidze nga tshanḓa tshau tsha maanḓa,
u lamukise vhalanda vhau vha fulufhedzeaho.
7Mudzimu o amba e fhethu hawe hukhethwa a ri,
“Ndi ḓo kunda maswina nda kovha Shikheme,
Govha ḽa Sukotho nda ḽi kovhekanya;
8Giliadi ndi ḽanga,
na shango ḽa Manase;
Efraimi ndi nguwane yanga,
luḓo lwanga lwa vhuhosi ndi Juda;
9Muaba ndi sambelo ḽanga;
Edomo ndi posa navhula yanga,
ha vha u sumbedza uri ndi ḽanga;
ndi ṱavha mukosi wa gundo ndi Filista.”
10Ndi nnyi a no ḓo ntswikisa Edomo,
nda dzhena musanda waho wo tangwaho nga mitsheṱo?
11Ndi nnyi arali e si Iwe Mudzimu?
Thabelo
Hone zwino wo ri laṱa, Mudzimu,

12Iḓa u ri phalale musi wa khombo,
muthu ha farisi tshithu.
13Rí na Mudzimu ri ḓo lwa sa vhahali,
Ene u ḓo kandekanya maswina ashu.
