IINDUMISO 8

₁*Ndikhoyo, Nkosi yethu,

hayi ukubaluleka kwegama lakho ehlabathini!

Wena uqaqambisa amazulu ngesithozela sakho,

₂nditsho abantwana kwaneentsana ziyakubonga,

nto leyo ibamisela umqobo abachasi

wokuvalela utshaba kwanomphindezeli.

₃Xa ndiqwalasela amazulu owenzileyo,

inyanga, neenkwenkwezi ezidalwe nguwe,

₄ngubani yena umntu, le nto umkhumbulelayo,

engubani yena unyana womntu, le nto umkhathalelayo?

₅Ngaphezu koko umenze wanganeno kancinane nje kuwe, Thixo;

umthe jize ngesihomo nesithozela.

₆Umnike igunya kuyo yonke indalo yakho,

wazibeka phantsi kwegunya lakhe zonk' izinto:

₇iinkomo neegusha, kwanazo neenyamakazi;

₈iintaka eziphaphazelayo, neentlanzi,

nayo yonke into ephithizela elwandle.

₉Hayi ukubaluleka kwalo igama lakho ehlabathini liphela,

Ndikhoyo, Nkosi yethu!
