Xhosa | Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo, |
God bless Africa Let its (Africa’s) horn be raised, |
Zulu | Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo. |
Listen also to our prayers, Lord bless us, we are the family of it (Africa). |
Sesotho | Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho, O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa, South Afrika — South Afrika. |
Lord bless our nation, Stop wars and sufferings, Save it, save our nation, The nation of South Africa — South Africa. |
Afrikaans | Uit die blou van onse hemel, Uit die diepte van ons see, Oor ons ewige gebergtes, Waar die kranse antwoord gee, |
From the blue of our heavens, From the depths of our seas, Over our everlasting mountains, Where the cliffs give answer, |
English | And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom In South Africa our land. |
