1. Mununuri weIsraeri,
Ndimi munotifadza,
Ndokwatinokumbira ropafadzo,
Mumvuri masikati
Neshongwe yemoto usiku.
She, Mununuri, muzadzikisi!
2. Toziva arikuuya
Kuunganidza hwai
Kudzitungamirira kuZioni,
Mumupata
Werufu vangachemerei
Kana kufamba vega murenje?
3. Takadzungaira kwenguva
Sevayeni muchivi,
Tikachema kwamuri mugwenga!
Vavengi vaifara
Vachiona kusuwa kwedu,
Asi Israeri ichasununguka.
4. Sevana veZioni,
Mashoko akanaka.
Zviratidzo zvavakuonekwa.
Musatye, ruramai,
Nekuti hushe ndehwedu.
Zuva reruponiso rava pedyo.
5. Dzorerai, Muponesi,
Chiedza chenyu;
Ndinyaradzei nerudo rwenyu;
Chido chakanaka
Chekuva kwamuri kutsvene
Chiunze tariro kumwoyo wangu.
6. Anotarisa! zvuru gumi
Zvengirozi zvofara,
Vazhinji vomirira shoko rake;
Anotaura! kusingaperi,
Kozara nezwi rake,
Roungira rumbidzo yalshe.
