9. Mwathani witũ, nĩtwakũgoca

1.
Mwathani witũ, nĩtwakũgoca
Tondũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtheru;
Tũgweterera tũrathimwo rĩu,
Nĩguo tũĩnũke tũrĩ na thayũ.
2.
Tũhe thayũ ngoro-inĩ ciitũ,
Tũgĩe hamwe nawe ũtukũ.
Waragĩrie arĩa aku othe
Magũthaithĩte haha umũthĩ.

3.
Ũtũhe thayũ ũtukũ wothe,
Nduma-inĩ tũthĩi na ũtheri;
Ũtũikarie twĩ andũ aku;
Ũũrũ wothe ũtwehererie.

4.
Ũtũhe thayũ mĩthenya wothe,
Tũteithagio magerio-inĩ;
Nĩguo ihinda rĩa gĩkuũ gitũ
Tũtwarũo kũrĩ arĩa atheru.
