Gik moko duto konon to onge tiendgi
Magi e weche mane jayalo ma wuod Daudi, mane ruodh Jerusalem owacho.
Jayalo wacho niya,
“Ngima en gima nono!
Chutho en gima nono!
Gik moko duto onge tiendgi!”
 
En ohala mane ma dhano yudo kuom tije duto motiyo
kendo mochandore godo e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ?
Tiengʼ ka tiengʼ biro kendo kadho,
to piny to osiko mana kaka en.
Chiengʼ wuok kendo chiengʼ podho,
kendo oridore piyo piyo kodok kuma owuokie.
Yamo futo kochiko yo milambo
kendo okudho kochiko yo nyandwat;
odhi kolworore,
ndalo duto koduogo kare mapile.
Aore duto mol kadhi ei nam,
to kata kamano nam ok pongʼ.
To kuma aorego oaye,
kanyo ema gidwogoe.
Gik moko duto gin tingʼ mapek,

Kata obedo ni wangʼ neno,
to gik moneno ok rome,
to it bende kata obedo ni owinjo gik moko,
to gik mowinjo ok rome.
Gima osebedo biro bedo kendo,

kendo onge gino manyien e bwo wangʼ chiengʼ.
10 Bende nitiere gima ngʼato nyalo wacho ni

Ooyo ok gima nyien, nimar nyalo bedo ni gino nosetimore chon
