Ileni tu hongweni kuJehova

1. I-le-ni tu ho-ngwe-ni ko-mbi-nga ya-Jah.

O-ta-mu shi-vwa mu nwe o-me-va.

Va-fi ve-no-ta, va-fi vo-ndja-la,

Ta-mbu-le-ni ko ee-ndja do-le-la.

2. I-na-tu e-fa na-nd’o-kwoo-nga-la pa-mwe,

O-po tu ho-ngwe o-sho sha yu-ka,

Ko-mhe-po ya-Jah no-va-mwa-ta-te,

Fye tu e-nde mo-ndji-la ya yu-ka.

3. O-ha-shi ha-fi-fa o-ku-i-mba pa-mwe.

O-shi-wa o-ku-ka-la twa ho-ngwa.

Tu o-nga-le-ni no-va-mwa-ta-te,

Pe-he na na-nde o-ku-fa-u-la.
