Xitswa

Kaleloko ka masiku kama wa ndlala, n´wavhundlani na n´wahawu vawahi vanghana. Siku ginwe n´wavhundlani ano alakanya aku ramba a munghana wakwe kasi kuya hlakana.

1

N´wavhundlani ati ngalu: Ahi hlakani hi ku bikana. N´wahawu ano hlamula aku: Hingazvimahisa kuyini ke?

2

N´wavhundlani ano hlamula aku: Aku sangula kulaveka hi dzivela a nzilu.

3

Hicela mati, lomu ka bota hi kungeta.

4

Nzita sangula himina nzinghena, loku nziba a tapa ya bota ku laveka aku uvhulula nzitahuma.

5

Hiku maha loko n´wavhundlani ano ngena hikuranga. Loko a mati masangula aku kufumela.

6

N´wavhundlani ano gongonza a tapa, makumu n´wahawu ano vhulula a mbita.

7

Tsena lezvaku loku kucikele a khati ga n´wahawu, n´wavhundlani ano teka a ribze ga hombe atlhateka a henhla ka bota, a thlela a tshamela a tapa.

8

Loku a mati masangulile kuvila, n´wahawu ano gongonza a tapa, tsena lezvaku n´wavhundlani anga vhumelangi aku vhulula a mbita.

9

Hikwalaho, n´wahawu anofa kwalomo. Kani lezvi n´wavhundlani a gile munghana wakwe!
