INYWONTHE, INĨAI

(Now thank we all our God)

1.

Inywonthe, inĩai mũnene waitũ mbathi,

Mũkathei yu na ngoo, na nzaa, kanyw'a wenyũ;

Nĩwatũtethisye kuma twasyawa kũũ,

Na nũtũsesea oyu matukũ aa.

 

2.

Ngai waitũ nĩ mũthwii, na twĩ’ũvoo mũseo,

N’atũtanasya ngoo, nĩ kenda syĩw’e mũyo;

Atũnyamaũkye na akĩtwovosya,

Ũtanu wake kũũ na kũya woneke.

 

3.

Mũkathei, mwinĩei, nĩwe ĩthe na mwana,

Na veva ũtwĩe ĩtunĩ kũya ĩũlũ;

Mũkathei oyu tũĩ, na akĩtaĩwa

Mũvaka nthĩ ĩkaa, n’ĩkyũka ĩngĩ nzaũ.

(Amen)
