"Rapererenu weno:

Shetu wamuliwiru,
Lidina lyoye li fumane;
Untungi ghoye u tu yere;
kupanga koye ku tike mo palivhu,
yira muliwiru.
Tu peko namuntji ndya detu dakehe liyuva;
tu ghupire po maundjoni ghetu
momo twa ghupiranga po natwe vandjoni vetu;
Wa sha tu kengerera tu nengukire kundjo
nani tu yovore kuudona.
(Mbyovyoshi kukoye Ove uhompa ko,
nkondo ko nashikoda ko dogoro nange kunaruntje.
Amen.)
