1Usinyamale,
ee Mlungu nkutogolaye,
2mana kanwa za atu ayi na a handzo zinanishambuliya,
zinagomba maneno ga handzo chinyume changu.
3Akanizunguluka na maneno ga kunimena,
na ananishambuliya bila chausa.
4Dzagbwe naamendza nyo anishitaki
ela hata hivyo naavoyera.
5Kpwa hivyo ananiripha mai kpwa manono gangu,
na tsukizi kpwa mendzwa yangu.
6Muikire mviha wangu muamuli mui
na ye amshitakiye naime mkpwono kulume.
7Ndiphoamulwa naaphahikane kukala ana makosa,
mavoyoge nagaisabiwe kukala ni dambi!
8 Sikuze na zikale chache,
na cheoche nachihalwe ni mutu wanjina!
9Anae na akale anachiya,
na mchewe naakale gungu.
10Anae naazemeheke na akale a kuvoya-voya
naazolwe atuluke himo nyumba za magandzo!
11Hiye ariyemuaphasa naedze ahale vitu vyosi arivyonavyo,
ajeni naedze abanange matunda ga jashore.
12Naphasikale na yeyesi wa kumuonera mbazi
wala wakuaonera mbazi anachiyae.
13Atu a chivyaziche naangamizwe,

14Mwenyezi Mlungu naatambukire uyi wa akaree

15Mwenyezi Mlungu naatambukire dambi zao siku zosi,
na aho enye naayalwe kabisa duniani.
16Mana kayatambukira kuhenda manono,
ela waonera achiya na agayi
na atu ariovundzika moyo hadi achifwa.
17Wamendza kulani atu, sambi lana naimuphahe mwenye.
Kayamendza kubariki, sambi baraka nazikale kure naye.
18Wadzivwika lana avi ni koti,
phahi lana nazimuinjire dza mutu anwavyo madzi,
na nazimuinjire dza mafuha ga mwakpwe mifuphani.
19Naikale dza shuka adzifwinikirayo,
na dza mkanda adzifungao chila siku.
20Mwenyezi Mlungu naariphe gago aho anishitakio,
aho agombao mai kunihusu!
21Ela uwe, ee Mwenyezi Mlungu Bwana wangu,
nishuulikiya vinono kpwa sababu ya dzinaro
kpwa vira mendzwayo isiyosika ni nono, nitivya.
22Mana mino ni mchiya tsona mgbwayi,
na moyo wangu ukalumizwa sana.
23Mimi nkuyaya dza chivurivuri cha dziloni,
nkakutwa-kutwa dza ndzije.
24Mavwindi gangu ganarejera kpwa kufunga,
na nkasala mifupha mihuphu.
25 Nkakala utu wa kuberwa ni anishitakio
achiniona anasukasuka vitswa vyao.
26Niterya, ee Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlungu wangu!
Niokola kulengana na mendzwayo isiyosika!
27Amanyise kukala uhu ni mkpwonoo,
kukala uwe, ee Mwenyezi Mlungu ndiwe uriyehenda vivyo!
28Ariche alani ela we unajaliya!
Ariche aviha angu aphahe waibu,

29Anaonishitaki naaphahe waibu
waibu wao nauabwiningize dza mutu adzibwiningizavyo burangeti!
30Ndamlavira Mwenyezi Mlungu shukurani kulu na mromo wangu,
nindamlika kahi za borori ra atu,
31mana ndiye akaniraye agayi
na kuativya kula kpwa hara anaoamulwa kuolagbwa.
