97 Yehova naba Imfumu!+
Isonde nalisansamuke.+
Ne fishi fyonse nafisekelele.+
2 Amakumbi ne mfifi fyalimushinguluka;+
Ubulungami no mulinganya e mufula wa cipuna cakwe ica bufumu.+
3 Umulilo ufuma pa ntanshi yakwe,+
Kabili uloca abalwani bakwe abamushinguluka.+
4 Inkuba yakwe ilasanika pano calo;
Isonde lilamona inkuba yakwe kabili lilatutuma.+
5 Impili shilasunguluka nge pula pa ntanshi ya kwa Yehova,+
Pa ntanshi ya kwa Shikulu we sonde lyonse.
6 Imyulu ilabila pa bulungami bwakwe,
Kabili abantu bonse balamona ubukata bwakwe.+
7 Lekeni bonse abapepa ifilubi ifyo bapanga baseebane,+
Abaitakishisha pali tulesa utushaba nangu cimo.+
Mukontamineni mwe balesa bonse.+
8 Sione alomfwa kabili alasekelela,+
Imisumba iinono iya mu Yuda naisansamuka
Pa mulandu wa bupingushi bwenu mwe Yehova.+
9 Pantu imwe mwe Yehova, nimwe Mwapulamo pano isonde ponse;
Mwalicila sana tulesa tonse.+
10 Mwe batemwa Yehova pateni ifyabipa.+
Alacingilila imyeo ya baba ne cishinka kuli ena;+
Kabili alabapokolola mu minwe ya babifi.+
11 Ulubuuto lwabalikila abalungama,+
Kabili ababa ne mitima iya kaele balesekelela.
12 Sekeleleni mwe balungami pa mulandu wa kwa Yehova,
Kabili tooteleni ishina lyakwe ilya mushilo.
