1. O-tu li mou-nyu-ni wa pi-la-la-la;

O-va-nhu ve li me-ka-no.

O-twa pu-mbwa e-wi-li-ko.

O-kwoo-nga-la o-ha-ku tu kwa-fe-le

Tu li-tu-nge mei-ta-ve-lo.

Ha-tu la-di-pi-ki-lw’oi-lo-nga i-wa,

No-ha-tu tu-wa om’-ku-mo.

I-no di-na o-sho Je-ho-va ta ti;

Na-tu lo-ng’e-ha-lo la-ye.

O-po ha-tu kwa-fe-lwe-ni tu mo-ne

O-u-no-ngo wo-po-mba-da.
