2 Kutwa ndzima náagolosera mkpwono atu arioasi
3 atu ambao anahenda mambo ga kunitsukiza

5 Aho akutanapho nkuambirana,
6 Lola, dzambo riri náriandika
7 Ndakuriphizani makosa genu phamwenga na makosa ga akare enu,”
8 Mwenyezi Mlungu anaamba hivi,

13 Kpwa hivyo Mwenyezi Mlungu anaamba hivi,
14 Atumishi angu andaimba
15 Dzina renu rindahumika dza lana kahi za atu angu nrioatsambula.
16 Phahi iye ndiyevoya baraka,
17 Lola, ninaumba mlunguni kuphya na dunia nyiphya,
18 Ela hamirwani na muhererwe siku zosi
19 Jerusalemu indanifwahira,
20 Tamundakala tsona na vifo vya ana atsanga,
21 Andadzenga nyumba na asagale mumo,
22 Taandadzenga nyumba na atu anjina akazisagale,
23 Taandahenda kazi ya bure,
24 Kabila taadzangbweiha nindaihika,
25 Mabawa na ana ngʼondzi andarisa phamwenga,
