Ngakhoke kalibokhuleka ngokunje lithi:

Baba wethu osezulwini,
kalidunyiswe ibizo lakho,
umbuso wakho kawuze,
intando yakho kayenziwe,
emhlabeni njengasezulwini.
Siphe lamhla ukudla kwethu kwensuku ngensuku.
Usithethelele izono zethu,
njengalokhu lathi sibathethelela abasonayo.
Ungasingenisi ekulingweni,
kodwa usikhulule ebubini.
(Ngoba umbuso ungowakho, lamandla,
lobukhosi, kuze kube nini lanini.
Ameni.)

Baba wethu osezulwini:
Ibizo lakho alicwengiswe;
umbuso wakho awuze;
intando yakho ayenziwe ephasinapha njengezulwini.
Usiphe namhlanjesi ukudla kwethu esikuhlongako.
Usilibalele imitjhapho yethu esiyenzileko,
njengombana sibalibalela labo abasitjhapheleko thina.
Ungasingenisi ekulingweni,
kodwana siphuluse kokumbi,
ngombana umbuso ungowakho,
namandla nephazimulo ngokungapheliko.
Ameni.

Baba wethu osezulwini,
malihlonitshwe ibizo lakho,
umbuso wakho kawuze,
intando yakho yenziwe emhlabeni njengalokhu isenziwa ezulwini.
Siphe lamuhla ukudla kwethu kwensuku zonke.
Sixolele imilandu yethu,
njengoba lathi sesibaxolele abalemilandu kithi.
Ungasikhokheleli ekulingweni,
kodwa usisindise koMubi.
