Zabuli 22

¹Imulungu wangu, Imulungu wangu,

²Go Imulungu wangu, imisi nolila lakini hunidika bule,

³Lakini gweye kung'ala,

⁴Kumwako gweye iwahenga zetu watamanila,

⁵Wakulilila gweye, na wakomboligwa,

⁶Lakini niye kamba mng'onyo, sili munhu bule,

⁷Wose onilola oniseka ng'hani,

⁸Olonga, “Kamtamanila Mndewa Imulungu,

⁹Lakini gweye ayo unilavile mmunda wa mamangu,

¹⁰Nikutamanila gweye tangu nileleke.

¹¹Sikuukale kutali na niye kwavija magazo ga behi,

¹²Iwanhu wehile wanizunguluka kamba ng'ombe mbigalo,

¹³Wagubula milomo yao kamba simba,

¹⁴Nitika kamba mazi,

¹⁵Nguvu za lukuli lwangu zinyala kamba zae,

¹⁶Umbwa wanizunguluka,

¹⁷Nisigala mizege iyeka,

¹⁸Oigolela viwalo vangu,

¹⁹Lakini gweye Mndewa Imulungu,

²⁰Uhonye ugima wangu na sime,

²¹Nihonye kulawa mdilomo da simba,

²²Nowasimulila ndugu zangu twaga jako,

²³Mweye mumdumba Mndewa Imulungu, mtogoleni!

²⁴Kwavija heyo hamwehula wala kumbezeli mkiwa,

²⁵Mbuli yako nokutogola mna umting'hano wa iwanhu wengi,

²⁶Wakiwa oja na kushiba,

²⁷Uhelelo wa isi yose okumbuka na kumbwelela Mndewa Imulungu.

²⁸kwavija Mndewa Imulungu ayo mndewa,

²⁹Iwanhu weli na kibuli mwiisi omtambikila kuulongozi wake,

³⁰Ulelo ukwiza omtambikila,

³¹Osimulila mbuli za haki yake.
