         LWEC' IMIKHAWULO
          
Lwec' imikhawulo leyivaliwe
Ludvung' ingcondv' idvungeke,
Likhulum' indvodz' isuk' ihambe.

Livus' umuntfu alele lobudzala
Kugeleta umfula kuvuke litsemba,
Livuka litsemba lime ngatototimbili.

Lwandle luvus' emagagasi
Kubaleke wonkhe umuntfu,
Lwakh' indlel' etikwawo luntjume.
