Mdumiseni uBaba wethu nisemazulwini; mdumiseni ezindaweni eziphakeme. 2Mdumiseni, zingelosi zakhe zonke; mdumiseni, mabutho akhe onke. 3Mdumiseni, langa nenyanga; mdumiseni, zinkanyezi zonke ezikhanyayo. 4Mdumiseni, nina mazulu aphakeme kunawo onke, nani manzi angaphezu kwamazulu. 5Mazidumise igama likaBaba wethu, ngokuba wayala, kwase kudalwa. 6Wakumisa kuze kube phakade naphakade; wanika isimiso esingayikudlula.
7Mdumiseni uBaba wethu nisemhlabeni, nina zilwane zasolwandle nani nonke zinziki zolwandle, 8mlilo nesichotho, qhwa nenkungu, moya wesiphepho ogcwalisa izwi lakhe, 9zintaba namagquma onke, mithi ethela izithelo nayo yonke imisedari, 10zilwane zasendle nayo yonke imfuyo, zilwanyana ezihuquzelayo nezinyoni ezindizayo, 11makhosi omhlaba nazo zonke izizwe, zikhulu nabo bonke ababusi bomhlaba, 12zinsizwa nezintombi kanyekanye, madoda amadala nezingane.
