 2 “Vakwe pahe mwandinga navi, mwambielela, pahe tyipwe,*+

Munkhama umwe vala nonondaka ñgaa?+

 3 Mwamphopia-le* ehimbwe, pahe eli ñgaa otyekwii.

Pahe etyi mundinga ñgaa otyityi, kamukundu?+

 4 Ine naina ame tyili-tyili napengesa,

Opo mwene onkhali oyange.

 5 Mulinga omakamo okumphopia,

Pahe mwiivala okuti ñgeno ndyikundisiwa umwe,

 6 Noñgonokei okuti o Huku wankhemba ñgaa,

Oe wankhwata neliva liae.

 7 Tala! Ame naulula onkhwo nati: ‘Nakondya!’ mahi nawike undyivite.+

Nahanda-vo ou umphopila, mahi hieete nawike maviukisa.+

 8 Ngwe wahondya pondyila yange notyimato tyomamanya, na apa ndyikwata ndyitupu.

Ononthetelo mbange, wembupaka menthiki.+

 9 Wamphola omunkhima nali nao,

Wamphola otyuuya komutwe wange.

10 Wantheya-ntheya ndyitupu vali apa nahupa, ou umphola-ko umwe.

Apa napamenene wepemphola, walinga ngo ou watukula-po omuti.

11 Onyengo yae yatokota, ame umwe anumanena,

Otyipuka anthala uti vala ndyindyale yae.+

12 Ovita viae viaumbuka umwe, avindyumbilila-ko,

Viaonga onthanda, avilisete nekaka liange.

13 Ava tulikwai navo, wevemphola wevepaka kokule,

Ava vokundyi, vanthyapo ndyitupu-vo vali.+

14 Omapanga ange,* vapita,

Ovanthu twelityiliyile navo, vandimbwa.+

15 Ava vokweya okumphila,+ novapika vange ovahikwena, vanthala ngoti kavendyi.

Uti vala omunthu vehei-ale watunda vilongo-pale.

16 Okwiihana omulingilili wange, kenthavela.

Soka pahe tyina nahanda andinge onkhenda ndyilifefa.

17 Nomphepo vala itunda momulungu wange,+ omukai wange wiitoya,

Eli efi* liange, ava tulilandula navo velitoya.*

18 Novana vala, pahe soka vandinga omutomba.

Vati vala paku kwaame ndyikatuka, avahimbika okunkhwela.

19 Omapanga ange aeho pahe anthoya,+

Ava nahumbile, vamphilukila-po.+

20 Otyikova tyange tyakakanyena komankhipa,+

Nesala vala noviñge viatyo.

21 Ndingei-vo okankhenda mapanga ange, ndingei-vo okankhenda,

Okuvoko kwa Huku kwandyama.+

22 Oityi mundingila ñgaa, mundandaula nga Huku?+

Oityi mwahandyekela mumonesila vala ononkhumbi ñgaa?*+

23 Nahandele umwe ñgeno onondaka mbange mbuhonekwa,

Ñgeno mbuhonekwa momukanda!

24 Nahandele ñgeno mbuhonekwa konkhanda ngako mbukala-kala,

Ñgeno mbuhonekwa-ko notyivela, ambuyokelwa-ko nosumbu.

25 Ame ndyityii umwe nawa okuti omuyovoli wange+ una omwenyo.

Mwene haa meya, matalama kombanda yohi.*

26 Otyikova tyolutu lwange ngatyivola-vola,

Ame mandyimono umwe Huku nolutu olu ndyina-lo.

27 Mandyimumono umwe mwene ame,

Nomaiho ange himemukolelwa na mukwetu.+

29 Onwe, mwene onwe muna okutila owoma omutunga,+

Una omutunga weendela vala ou ulinga onkhali.

Nahandele-vo ñgeno munoñgonoka omukoyi wonomphela.”+
