1 Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi,
Bongani uThixo, ngoba ulungile.
2 Mwebaze Katonda wa bakatonda bonna,
Bongani uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu.
3 Mwebaze Mukama w’abafuzi,
Bongani uMbusi wababusi:
4 Oyo yekka akola ebyamagero ebikulu,
Kuye yedwa owenza izimanga ezinkulu,
5 Oyo eyakola eggulu mu kutegeera kwe,
Owathi ngokuzwisisa kwakhe wenza amazulu,
6 Oyo eyabamba ensi ku mazzi,
Owendlala umhlaba phezu kwamanzi,
7 Oyo eyakola ebyaka ebinene,
Owenza izibane ezinkulu,
8 Enjuba yagikola okufuganga emisana,
Ilanga ukubusa emini,
9 Omwezi n’emmunyeenye yabikola okufuganga ekiro,
Inyanga lezinkanyezi ukubusa ebusuku,
10 Oyo eyatta ababereberye b’Abamisiri,
Kuye owatshaya walalisa amazibulo aseGibhithe,
11 N’aggya Isirayiri mu Misiri,
Wakhupha u-Israyeli phakathi kwabo,
12 Yabaggyamu n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola;
Ngesandla esilamandla lengalo eyeluliweyo,
13 Oyo eyayawulamu amazzi g’Ennyanja Emyufu,
Kuye owadabula uLwandle oluBomvu lwehlukana,
14 N’ayisa abaana ba Isirayiri wakati waayo,
Wakhuphula u-Israyeli phakathi kwalo,
15 Naye n’asaanyaawo Falaawo n’eggye lye mu Nnyanja Emyufu;
Kodwa wakhukhulela uFaro lempi yakhe eLwandle oluBomvu,
16 Oyo eyakulembera abantu be mu ddungu,
Wahola abantu bakhe enkangala,
17 Ye yafufuggaza bakabaka abaatiikirivu,
Owalahla phansi amakhosi amakhulu,
18 N’atta bakabaka ab’amaanyi,
Wabulala amakhosi esabekayo,
19 Ye yatta ne Sikoni, kabaka w’Abamoli,
uSihoni inkosi yama-Amori,
20 Era ye yatta ne Ogi kabaka wa Basani,
lo-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani,
21 N’awaayo ensi yaabwe okuba obutaka,
Wanikela amazwe abo njengelifa,
22 Okuba obutaka bwa Isirayiri omuddu we,
Abayilifa encekwini yakhe u-Israyeli,
23 Oyo eyatujjukira nga tuweddemu ensa,
Kuye Yedwa owasikhumbula singesibantu balutho,
24 N’atuwonya abalabe baffe,
Wasikhulula ezitheni zethu,
25 Oyo awa abantu n’ebiramu byonna ekyokulya,
Njalo onika ukudla izidalwa zonke,
26 Kale mwebaze Katonda w’eggulu,
Bongani uNkulunkulu wasezulwini,
