1. Chiu-ta, m’kunimanya makora,

Pakugona nanga mphakuwuka.

Mukusanda mtima wane mukati,

Mukumanya mazgu na

mendero ghane.

Nkhawumbikanga mukuwona,

Viwangwa vyane mukaviwona.

Mukalemba viŵaro vyane vyose.

Nkhutemwa na kulumba

nkhongono zinu.

A Yehova, mukumanya vinandi;

Umoyo wane wazizwa namwe.

Nanga ningaŵa mukati mu mdima,

Mzimu winu wamunisokora.

Yehova, ningabisama nkhu,

Na kugwentha, kujoŵa kwa imwe?

Mu Dindi cha, kuchanya nako yayi,

Nanga muŵe mu nyanja,

mulije malo.
