1. Thune muhirana mw’omuhwa

W’erikolera Yehova,

Olhwanzo lhwethu lhukaghuma;

Ekikyaletha ’buholho.

Olhwanzo olhw’abandu biwe

Lhukaleka ithwa ghuma.

Ekithunga ni busayiro,

Mwathwanga bana ’bwiranda.

2. ’Kinywe kwa ndambi yitholere

Ka ni kibuya ’riowibwa!

Thwowa ’binywe by’erikirania

’Ri lhua ’kw’abanywani banzwa.

Ka kyuwene ’rikolangana

N’abawithe ’maha ng’ithwe!

Thwanzire erihimbangana,

Thuhekerane ’bulitho.

3. Omw’ikirirya thwalhangira

Ekiro kya Nyamuhanga,

Thutholere ithwa hindana

Thwangabya ’thune ’mwa nzira.

’Mwa bughuma n’abandu biwe,

Thwasya kolha biro byosi.

Neryo thuhirane mw’omuhwa

Ow’erithendi leghulha.
