1. Bilumbu byoso tutidi,

dyatila mu nzila zi Yave.

Nandi wutuvana lwaku,

mwingi tuba zimbangi zyandi!

Tukivana kwidi Nandi,

mwingi kunsadilanga.

Befu kwikama mu Yave;

Nandi wala tukindisa.

2. Nza yambelama kubungwa.

Yave wala fundisa batu,

Satana mben’itu tidi

tudyatila mu nzila zyandi.

Angi Yave wutukyeba;

tufweti kumfikama,

kunsadila mu kyedika,

kunzola mu ntima woso.

3. Yave wutusadisanga,

mu nzila yi kimvuka kyandi,

Kibibila na pheve’andi,

bitubwela beni mangolo,

tuvanga mambu masonga,

Yave wutu sadisa,

tuba zikhadulu zyaku,

mwingi tunzinga mvu ka mvu.
