Kushumele kwa vhuṱali misi ya kale
U bva kha Adamu u swika kha Mushe
1Vhuṱali ho tsireledza
khotsi wa u thoma fhano shangoni

Ndi hone he ha mu vusa o wa,
2ha mu ṋea maanḓa a u vhusa zwithu zwoṱhe.
3Hone musi Kaini, munna muvhi,
a tshi vhu ṱutshela ó sinyuwa,
o lovha nge a vhulaha murathu wawe nga mbiti.
4Musi ḽifhasi ḽo ḓala maḓi nga mulandu wa muvhi onoyo
vhuṱali ha dovha ha ḽi tshidza
hó hwala Nua, munna muvhuya, nga gungwa ḽa thanda zwayo.
5Musi tshakha dzoṱhe nga shango dzo vilingana
nga u mbwandamela vhuvhini,
ndi vhuṱali he ha nanga Abrahamu, munna muvhuya,
ha mu vhulunga uri a si khakhe maṱoni a Mudzimu,
ha mu khwaṱhisa
uri a si pfele murwa wawe vhuṱungu.
6Musi vhavhi vha tshi khou lozwiwa,
ndi hone vhuṱali he ha lamukisa Loto, munna muvhuya,
a tinya mulilo we wa nela Miḓi Miṱanu.
7Vhuṱanzi ha vhuvhi havho vhu tshee hone;
phanga i kha ḓi dubisa vhutsi,
zwimela zwi aṋwa mitshelo i sa vhibvi,
na phuphu ya muṋo i tshee yo ima henefho
tshi tshihumbudzo tsha muthu a sa tendi.
8Vhenevho nga u nyadza vhuṱali
vho shaiswa mashudu a u ḓivha zwi re zwone,
vha dovha vha sia ḽifhasi
tsha vha tshihumbudzo tsha vhutsilu havho
uri vhutshinyi havho vhu si dzumbee.
9Hone vhuṱali, vhane vha vhu shumela ho vha lamukisa khomboni.
10Musi Jakobo, munna muvhuya,
a tshi shavha mbiti dza mukomana wawe,
ndi hone he ha mu endedza nḓilani dze dza tou tswititi,
ha mu sumbedza muvhuso wa Mudzimu,
ha mu ṋea nḓivho ya zwithu zwikhethwa,
ha ita uri zwine a shuma zwi mu nakele,
ha andisa mitshelo ya zwa biko ḽawe.
11Vhuṱali ho ima nae,
ha mu pfumisa, ha mu tsireledza
musi vhakandeledzi vhawe vha tshi ita vhutshivha.
12Vhuṱali ho mu tsireledza kha maswina awe,
ha mu tinyisa khunḓa dze vha vea,
ha ita uri a lwe tsimbe khulu a kunde,
uri a ḓivhe uri u luvha Mudzimu hu na maanḓa a no fhira zwoṱhe.
13Vhuṱali a ho ngo ṱutshela Josefa,
munna muvhuya, musi o rengiswa;
ho mu lamukisa vhuvhini.
14Ho mu fhelekedza a tshi poswa dindini,
ha si mu litshe musi o vhoxwa,
ha vhuya ha mu ṋea luḓo lwa vhuhosi,
a vho vhusa vhakandeledzi vhawe,
ha vha u dzumbulula vhe vha mu pomoka uri vha a zwifha,
ene ha mu ṋea khuliso ya lini na lini.
Mupfuluwo
15Vhathu vhakhethwa,

ndi hone vhuṱali ho vha tshidzaho
kha lushaka lwe lwa vha kandeledza.
16Vhuṱali ho dzhena muyani wa Mushe, muḓinḓa wa Muṋe washu,
ha imedzana na mahosi a ofhisaho nga zwiga na zwimangadzo.
17Vhuṱali ho ṋea vhakhethwa vha Mudzimu malamba a mishumo yavho,
ha vha tshimbidza gondoni ḽi mangadzaho,
ha vha murunzi wavho masiari na ṋaledzi vhusiku.
18Vhuṱali ho vha wedza Lwanzhe Lutswuku,

19huno ha tiba maswina avho,
ha konou vha pfela nnḓa ha mativha a lwanzhe.
20Zwenezwo vhavhuya vha ṱangula vhavhi.
Muṋe washu, dzina ḽau ḽikhethwa vho ḽi imbela nyimbo,
tshanḓa tshau tshi vha tsireledzaho vha tshi renda mazha,
21nge vhuṱali ha vula milomo ya zwimuma,
ha ita uri ndimi dza dzitshetshe
dzi ambe zwi pfalaho.
