268. Nkosi Umoya Uyavuthuza
Nkos’ umoy’ uyavuthuza, Nolwandle selusilwa,
Isibhakabhaka simnyama, Alukho nokhuselo.
Yinina ungakhathali Sitshabalala nje?
Lonk’ ixesha sizel’ uloyiko, sikufuph’ engcwabeni.
*CHORUS
Umoya namaza othobela, Thula tu,
Nokuba lulwandl’ olulwayo, iidemoni, ’bantu, nokuba yini,
Angekh’ itshon’ inqanaw’ enaYe oyiNkosi yomhlaba nolwandle;
Konke kothula kuthobele, Thula tu! Thula tu!
Konke kothula kuthobele, Kuthule tu.*
Nkosi ngomoy’ obuhlungu Nidthoba phambi kwaKho,
Intliziy’ izel’ iinkathazo, Vuka undisindise,
Isono kwanobuhlungu, zindigubungele;
O, Nkosi yam ndiyatshabalala, Yiza undisindise.
Nkosi ingoz’ iphelile, Konke sekuzolile;
Liyakhanya nalo ilanga, Wonwabil’ umphefumlo.
Ndigcine O, Mkhululi wam, Mandingabi ndedwa,
Ngovuyo ndowela ndisindile, Ndiphumle ngaphesheya.
