1 Wanhu wa Isilaeli lowalawile Misili,

walelwa wa Yakobo lowalawile kuli isi ya ulonzi wa chijenzi,

2 Yuda nayali haluga ha Nguluwi,

Isilaeli nayali undewa wa heye.

3 Bahali ya Shamu naimona Nguluwi, naibilima,

lwanda lwa Yolodani naluleka kuchililika.

4 Vidunda navizumazuma kota ing'holo ilume,

vidunda vidodo navizuma kota ming'holo myana.

5 Gwa bahali, lekachoni nakubilima?

Nagwe Yolodani, lekachoni nakuleka kuchililika?

6 Hemwe vidunda, lekachoni namzumazuma kota ing'holo ilume?

Hemwe vidunda, lekachoni namzuma kota ming'holo myana?

7 Gwa isi, ukakame hali Nguluwi,

ukakame hali Nguluwi wa Yakobo,

8 yalingudoliza italawe kuwa ilamba lya mazi,

nago maganga nagali nzasa za mazi.
