Haleluya! Dumisani igama likaBawo wethu; mdumiseni, nina bakhonzi bakaBawo wethu, nina nikhonze endlwini kaBawo wethu, ezinkundleni zendlu kaBawo wethu.

Mdumiseni uBawo wethu, kuba uBawo wethu ulungile; vumani indumiso egameni lakhe, kuba limnandi. Kuba uBawo wethu uzinyulele uYakobi, uSirayeli ukuba abe ngabantu abayinqobo kuye.

Kuba ndiyazi ukuba uBawo wethu mkhulu, yaye iNkosi yethu enguBawo ingaphezu koothixo bonke. Konke uBawo wethu akuthandayo ukwenzile, emazulwini nasemhlabeni, ezilwandleni nasezinzulwini zazo zonke. Wenza amafu anyuke eziphelweni zehlabathi; wenza umbane wemvula, akhuphe umoya kubuncwane bakhe.

Wawabulala amazibulo aseYiputa, awabantu naweenkomo. Wathuma imiqondiso nezimanga phakathi kwakho, Yiputa, kuFaro nakubakhonzi bakhe bonke. Wazixabela iintlanga ezininzi, wababulala ookumkani abakhulu. USihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, no-Ogi, ukumkani waseBhashan, nazo zonke izikumkani zakwaKanan, waza walinika ilizwe lazo laba lilifa, laba lilifa kuSirayeli, abantu bakhe.

Igama lakho, Bawo wethu, lihlala ngonaphakade; udumo lwakho, Bawo wethu, kwizizukulwana zonke. Kuba uBawo wethu uya kubagwebela abantu bakhe, abe nemfesane ngabakhonzi bakhe.

Izithixo zeentlanga zisilivere negolide, umsebenzi wezandla zomntu. Zinemilomo, kodwa azinako ukuthetha; zinamehlo, kodwa azinako ukubona; zineendlebe, kodwa azinako ukuva, kungekho namnye umoya emlonyeni yazo. Abazenzayo baya kufana nazo, kwanabo bonke abakholose ngazo.

Ndlu kaSirayeli, mbongeni uBawo wethu; ndlu ka-Aron, mbongeni uBawo wethu; ndlu kaLevi, mbongeni uBawo wethu; nina nimoyikayo uBawo wethu, mbongeni uBawo wethu. Makabongwe uBawo wethu eseZiyon, yena ohleli eYerusalem. Haleluya!
