1. Thwigha olhwanzo, ’rilhua ku Yehova

Akangya, enzira.

Mwa byosy’akolha, abithukangania

Ku thwangabya, n’olhwanz’olhu.

Mwathuha Mwana wiwe w’obughuli,

Thughanyirawe amalholho wethu.

Olhu ni lhwanzo lhunene kutsibu!

Ni w’olhwanzo, Iyo ni lhwanzo.

2. Nethu thwanzane, ’rilhua mwa muthima,

Ni kindu kibuya,

Ka kikaleka ithwa wathikania

Ithwe bosi, omwa byosi.

Erianza bandi, nianza Nyamuhanga,

Si wangamwanza, wuthanzire bandi.

Thukaghanyira bisobyo by’abandi,

Ka ni lhwanzo, Olho lhw’olhwanzo.

3. Thw’ighe olhwanzo lhwaletha bughuma

Ithwabya bughuma.

Thatha Yehova athukokya athi:

‘Mulebaye obughuma!’

Mwase mubane olhwanzo n’etseme.

Ekinywe kiwe kikathuwanaya.

Abalikyethu bakathwibukaya,

Lhwanzo lhwiwe, Iyo ni lhwanzo.
