O kuleaho nungo
1Muṋe washu, ipfa thabelo yanga,
nthetshelese ndi tshi u lilela;
mphindule,
u na ngoho, u a fulufhedzea.
2U songo vhuya wa ntsengisa;
kha vhoṱhe vha tshilaho,
ndi nnyi ane wa mu vhona e muvhuya?
3Swina ḽanga ḽo ntsala murahu,
ḽo ntsimbeledzela fhasi,
ḽo ntsukumedzela swiswini,
ha vho faho kale.
4Ndi vho ṱoḓa na u ṱovhowa,
mbilu yanga yo hanganea.
5Ndi elelwa maḓuvha aḽa a kale;
ndi elekanya zwoṱhe zwe wa nnyitela,
nda humbula zwe zwanḓa zwau zwa shuma.
6Ndi livhisa zwanḓa zwanga ha Iwe,
nda u rabela;
ndo lavhelela phindulo yau,
unga mavu o omaho o lindela mvula.
U fulufhela Muṋe washu na u mu thetshelesa
7Muṋe washu, ṱavhanya u mphindula,
muya wanga u a kundelwa;
u songo mpfuralela,
ndi sa ḓo fana na vhane vha godimela tshaloni.
8Ḽi tshi tsha kha ndi vhone vhuthu hau,
nṋe ndi fulufhela Iwe,
ndi ḓikumedza Iwe,
ntsumbedze nḓila ine nda fanela u i fara.
9Muṋe washu, ndi dzumbama nga Iwe,
nndamukise kha maswina anga.
10U Mudzimu wanga,
mpfunze u ita zwine wa funa;
Muya wau muvhuya nga a nnyendedze ho linganelaho.
11Muṋe washu, ntshidze u tshi itela dzina ḽau;
u a fulufhedzea, nṋule khomboni.
12Maswina anga a fhedze oṱhe,
hufha lufuno lwau lu sa tseki;
lozwa vhakandeledzi vhanga,
hufha ndi mulanda wau.
