Mumbyoge gona gomumati kuna hulilire kurara.
Ame kulihova kupinduka, morwa ame ependa!
Ame nyame ani zoto kezuva.
"Ove ntunguru zange," ana kuuyunga Ma.
Ame kulikuhwa nkenye ezuva, kapi ani pumbwa ekwafo.
Kapi na kara noudigu womema gomatenda, ndi mfewa zosinauguru ezi atu kuhwisa yikoverero.
Ma ta diworokesange asi, "Wa ha divara mazego goge."
Ame kumu limburura asi, "Narumwesi, ntudi kapisi nyame!"
Konyima zelikuho, ame kulikunda noMama noNanegona.
Nokuva harera ezuva lyewa.
Makura tani dwara nyamwange.
"Amen a kuru nye ngesi, Ma," yimo ana va tantere.
Ame kuvhura kupata nombandi nokumanga nonkaku dange.
Na yi diva nawanawa asi mumbyange gomumati ga diva nombudi nadinye do sure.
Monkondwarongero ame nkenye kurugana papa na hulira.
Ame kurugana yininke nayinye nkenye ezuva.
Nye sininke na hara unene, sokudana nokudanauka!
