1 IMNDEWA yuyo ghumwanga ghwangu na ukombotsi wangu,

lelo nene yanitsompfuka nani?

IMNDEWA yuyo ingome ya ugima wangu,

lelo nene yanitsamwonela wogha nani?

2 Iwotenda ghehile hawanitsile habehi,

wandiye inyama yangu,

awo iwehile wangu na aduwi tsangu wekwala waghwa.

3 Hata maasikali wengi wang’anitsunguluka wetowe na nene,

ghumoyo ghwangu ng’aghutsopfuka baye,

hata ng’ondo ing’anilawila,

nene sitsoleka baye ukwihuwila Imulungu.
