₁*Ndikhoyo, wena unguThixo wam;

nditsho izicwangciso zakho zamandulo.

₂Isixeko wena usitsho sangamabhodlo,

neso sinqatyisiweyo sitsho sayimiwewe;

amabhotwe aziinqaba kwiintlanga atsho angamanxuwa,

engasoze abuye avuswe.

nesixeko sezikhohlakali siya kukubusa.

₄Kaloku wena uyawakhusela amahlwempu;

Wena ungumqolomba kumaqhwa nenkqwithelo,

kanti ukwangumthunzi kwingqatsini yelanga.

Kaloku izithonga zezikhohlakali zinjengesiphango,

₅ngathi yinzwinini yelanga kwelibharhileyo.

Wena ukucimile ukugragrama kotshaba,

ingoma yeendlavini itsho yanqamka.

₆Izizwe zonke zehlabathi *uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke wozenzela isidlo eZiyon;

sidlo eso soba zezona zimuncu-muncu,

nditsho eyona inencasa inyama nesiqhoqhololo sewayini.

₈Ewe, uMhlekazi uNdikhoyo uya kukuphelisa tu ukufa,

Nengcikivo nokuhlazeka kwabantu bakhe wokuphelisa jikelele ehlabathini.

Kaloku uthethile uNdikhoyo!

₉Ngelo thuba bonke baya kuthi:

“Ngenene nguThixo wethu lo!

Sakholosa ngaye wasihlangula.

NguNdikhoyo lo!

Ngenene sikholose ngaye,

ngoko ke ngoku masonwabe,

ngoku ke masibe nemihlali,

kuba yena usihlangule.”

₁₀Amandla kaNdikhoyo obonakala kule ntaba.

AmaMowabhi aya kuxovulwa ngeenyawo

oku komgquba ebuhlanti.

₁₁Okhweba ngezandla ngathi ayadada;

kambe konke kungancedi nto –

uThixo wosuka awathobe,

lihle elo kratshi lawo.

₁₂Loo mapomakazi eenqaba,

loo mihalambela yeendonga,

uya kuwadiliza awe bhaxa!
