Luvutudila Pfumu yi bapfumu matondo,
4 To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age [is] His kindness.
niandi kaka, wumvanganga matsiminanga,
5 To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age [is] His kindness.
niandi wuvanga diyilu mu diela diandi
6 To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age [is] His kindness.
Niandi wuyalumuna ntoto va mbata minlangu;
7 To Him making great lights, For to the age [is] His kindness.
Niandi wuvanga kiezila kingolo
8 The sun to rule by day, For to the age [is] His kindness.
thangu mu diambu di yadila muini,
9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ngondi ayi zimbuetete mu diambu di yadila builu,
10 To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age [is] His kindness.
kuidi niandi bila niandi wuvvonda bana batheti mu Ezipite,
11 And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi wutotula bana ba Iseli va khatitsika basi Ezipite
12 By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age [is] His kindness.
mu koko ku ngolo ayi ku yalumuka,
13 To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age [is] His kindness,
Kuidi niandi bila niandi wuvasa mbu wu mbuaki mu zindambu zizole,
14 And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age [is] His kindness,
ayi wuviokisila Iseli va khatitsika mbu wu mbuaki,
15 And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age [is] His kindness.
vayi wulalumusa Falawo ayi masodi mandi mu mbu wu mbuaki,
16 To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age [is] His kindness.
kuidi niandi bila niandi wudiatisa batu bandi mu dikanga;
17 To Him smiting great kings, For to the age [is] His kindness.
Niandi wuvonda mintinu minneni,
18 Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi wuvonda mintinu mi lulendo,
19 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age [is] His kindness.
Sihoni, ntinu basi Amoli,
20 And Og king of Bashan, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi Ongi, ntinu basi Basani,
21 And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi wuvana zitsi ziawu banga kiuka,
22 An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age [is] His kindness.
kiuka kuidi kisadi kiandi, Iseli,
23 Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age [is] His kindness.
kuidi niandi, mutu wowo wututebukila moyo mu kambu kueto ku luvalu,
24 And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi wutuvana kiphuanza mu bambeni zieto,
25 Giving food to all flesh, For to the age [is] His kindness.
ayi niandi wumvananga bidia kuidi kioso-kioso vangu,
26 Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age [is] His kindness!
