2
Kutundilira kuSiyoni, ghuwa wakuwaperera, Karunga ghanegheda.
3
Karunga wetu opo ghayanga kapi ghakugumininanga; mundiro kutwera kumeho yendi, ngoli nka ghamukundurukida mpepo yankondo.
4
Ghuye kuyita mawiru ghakuwiru napantunda yalivhu mposhi ghuye ghavhure kupangura vantu vendi.
5
''Pongeka vapuli vaghushiri-shiri vakare kumwe kwande, mbovo varughana likukwatakano name nashidjambero.''
6
Mawiru ngagha ngambipara ghupongoki wendi, Karunga mwene ndje mupanguli.
7
''Yuva, vantu vande, ntani ame ngani ghambe; Ame Karunga, Karunga wenu.
8
Ame kapi ngani kuneghudura naghudjambero ghoye; ndjambo yakushwakerera nkehepano kukara kumeho yande.
9
Ame narumweshi nganighupamo nampiri ntwedu yimwe mundjugho yoye, ndipo vimpendje vyavirume nivighupe mushinyongo shoye.
10
Ngoli nkehe shikorama shamuwiyane shande, nangombe pamayovi pandunduwena.
11
Ame nayiva vidira navintje vyamundundu, ntani namakiti ghamulifuvanka ghande.
12
Ndi nayuvire ndjara, ame ndi nakutantelireve; ngoli ghudjunine wande, nanavintjeya vyakaramo.
13
Ame nganilye nyama yantwedu ndipo nganinwe honde dampendje ndi?
14
Tapa kwaKarunga shidjapo shakutapa mpandu, ngoli ghufute mughano doye kwaKarunga wakundaghandagha.
15
Ndjiteme mushirugho shamumaghudito; Ame ngani kupopera, ntanive ngaghuntungikame.''
16
Ano ngoli kuvadona Karunga kughambashi, ''Nke ovyo warughana naghungambi wamafano ghande, ove nka waghupa likukwatakano lyande mukanwa koye,
17
ovenka wanyenga marondoro mbyonka wavukuma nkango dande ghure?
18
Opo wakenganga munawidi, ove kumukwatitako; ove kukuhamitira mwavo varughanango vyakushondera.
19
Ove kutapa kanwa koye kuvadona, nka kanwa koye kutimwitira vyarushongo.
20
Ove kushingira nakughamba vyaghunkore navaghunyoye; ove kughamba nka vipempa kwamughunyoye wamukafumu mwene-mwene.
21
Ove warughana navintje vino,anongoli ame kwavimwena tupu, ngoli waghayalireshi ame yirave. Anongoli ame nganiku neghudura nakukuyita, kumeho yamantjo ghoye, kwanavintjeya ovyo warughana.
22
Ngoli kara ghunavangarara mukukengurura, anwe mwavhuramo Karunga, vyakuhupako nganikundembaghura ghugceneghugcene, ntani kwato ghogho kavhuro kukuvatera!
23
Kwavo ghatapango ndjambo yakutapa mpandu nalikukanganga lyande, ngoli kwakehe ghuno ghaghayarango ndjira yendi mughuhunga ame nganimunegheda loyoghoko lyaKarunga.''
