Mudzimu u ḓo haṱula vhakandeledzi vha vhathu vhawe
U hwelela vhavhi
1Muṋe washu,

Iwe Mudzimu Mulifhedzi, ḓivhonadze!
2Takuwa, Iwe Muhaṱuli wa ḽifhasi;

u tshi tevhedza zwiito zwavho!
3Muṋe washu,
vhavhi vha ḓo ḓiphiṋa u ya ho ya naa?
Vha ḓo gumafhi?
Vhadzia-u-levha vha u ṱonga
4Maṱamba vha tou pfa vha tshi vhea;
vhaitazwivhi vhoṱhe vha a ḓikhoḓa.
5Vha kandeledza vhathu vhau,
Muṋe washu,
vha tsikeledza vhanangiwa vhau.
6Vha vhulaha tshilikadzi na ṱhunḓu,
vha ponda tsiwana.
7Vha ri Muṋe washu ha zwi vhoni;
Mudzimu wa Jakopo ha zwi londi.
Vhutsilu ha vhadzia-u-levha
8Ni vhone, inwi ni si na ṱhalukanyo;
inwi matsilu, ni ḓo ṱalifha lini?
9Kani we a ni ṋea nḓevhe ndi dzinganḓevhe?
We a ni fha maṱo ndi bofu kani?
10Kani-ha ane a onyolosa dzitshakha ha laṱisi?
Ene ane a gudisa vhathu ha na nḓivho kani?
11Muṋe washu u ḓivha mihumbulo ya vhathu;
u ḓivha uri a vha tshithu.
Mashudu a vha pfaho Mudzimu
12Muṋe washu,
ú na mashudu ane wa mu laya,
wa mu funza mulayo wau,
13u mu rudza mbilu musi wa khombo,
vhavhi vha vhuya vha swiṱwa.
14Muṋe washu a nga si laṱe vhathu vhawe,
a nga si furalele vhanangiwa vhawe.
15Hu ḓo dovha ha vhuya khaṱhulo mbuya;
vhoṱhe vha mbilu dzo ṱambaho vha ḓo i tevhela.
Mulamuleli e eṱhe
16Ndi nnyi ane a ḓo nndwela ndi tshi imedzana na vhavhi?
Ndi nnyi ane a ḓo nnyimelela vhaitazwivhi vha tshi mmvutshela?
17Ngavhe Muṋe washu a si mpfarise,
ndi musi ndo fa.
18Ndi tshi ri,
“Mulenzhe wanga u khou redzemuwa,”
Iwe Muṋe washu wa ntika,
ngauri u na lufuno.
19Musi mbilu yanga i tshi swa,
wa nkhuthadza wa nthudza mbilu.
Khaṱhulo i sa khakhi
20Nṋa vhavhusi vhavhi vhane vha ḓivhetshela
milayo ya vhukwila,
vha nga konana na Iwe?
21Vha luka vhunwa ha u fasha vha fulufhedzeaho,
vha si na mulandu vha haṱulelwa lufu.
22Muṋe washu ndi Ene vhushavhelo hanga;
Mudzimu wanga ndi Ene bako ḽi ntsireledzaho.
23Ú ḓo vha lifhedzela vhutshinyi havho,
a vha fhedza nga mulandu wa vhuvhi havho.
Mudzimu Muṋe washu u ḓo vha lozwa.
