Mkulu Nguluwi kana mong'ho wa kuwalohola Waisilaeli
1Wanhu wa Isilaeli lowalawile Misili,
walelwa wa Yakobo lowalawile kuli isi ya ulonzi wa chijenzi,
2Yuda nayali haluga ha Nguluwi,
Isilaeli nayali undewa wa heye.
3Bahali ya Shamu naimona Nguluwi, naibilima,
lwanda lwa Yolodani naluleka kuchililika.
4Vidunda navizumazuma kota ing'holo ilume,
vidunda vidodo navizuma kota ming'holo myana.
5Gwa bahali, lekachoni nakubilima?
Nagwe Yolodani, lekachoni nakuleka kuchililika?
6Hemwe vidunda, lekachoni namzumazuma kota ing'holo ilume?
Hemwe vidunda, lekachoni namzuma kota ming'holo myana?
7Gwa isi, ukakame hali Nguluwi,
ukakame hali Nguluwi wa Yakobo,
8yalingudoliza italawe kuwa ilamba lya mazi,
nago maganga nagali nzasa za mazi.
