1. Yak i-si-ma kpu-kpru o-wo—

I-ma mmọ k’o-f’ri e-sịt nnyịn,

I-nam e-mi kpu-kpru i-ni

Man e-nem Je-ho-vah.

K’i-ni ’ma-de kpu-kpru o-wo,

Do k’i-di-nye-ne nti u-fan

E-mi ẹ-ma-de Je-ho-vah—

Mm’u-fan a-kpan-i-kọ.

K’i-ni e-yen-e-te nnyịn

Mî-nye-ne-ke s’a-dia-de k’u-sen,

Yak i-yom n̄kpọ i-nọ ’nye,

I-wụt k’i-ma-ma e-nye.

Yak i-ma mm’o-wo nte Je-sus.

Je-sus e-ke-kpep nnyịn i-ma—

A-ta i-ma ndi-tọ-e-te,

A-ta i-ma n̄wa-i-dem,

A-ta i-ma ’kpan-i-kọ.
