Wo kunda lushaka lwe lwa vha lu tshi kandeledza vhathu vhau,

Muvhuso ndi wawe.
U pfi Mueletshedzi a kanukisaho,

7Maanḓa awe a vhuhosi a ḓo ḓi hula a tshi ya,

Vha a ḓihudza, vha a ḓiḓivha, vha ri,
10“Ho wa nnḓu dzo fhaṱwaho nga mavu,

11Vha ḓitika nga Retsini,

Naho zwo ralo mbiti dza Muṋe washu

18Vhuvhi ha vhathu vhu duga unga mulilo;

ha mu kumba unga mulilo wa ḓaka u tshi duba buluvhutsi.
19Mbiti dza Muṋe washu Mulangazwoṱhe dzi fhisa shango;

Nangwe zwo ralo mbiti dza Muṋe washu a dzi athu guma,
