Original text

(in Swahili )

Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
Ilete baraka kwetu.
Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi
Natukae na udugu.
Amani na uhuru
Raha tupate na ustawi.

Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchi yetu ya Kenya,
Tunayo ipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda.

Natujenge taifa letu
Ee, ndio wajibu wetu
Kenya istahili heshima
Tuungane mikono
Pamoja kazini
Kila siku tuwe na shukrani.

German translation

O God of all creatures,
bless this our land and nation.
Justice be our shield and protection,
May we live in unity,
Peace and freedom
May reign within our borders.

Let one and all live
with a strong, true heart.
Service to our homeland Kenya
is our aim. Let us firmly defend
this glorious inheritance
.

Let us all be
united and united before the world
that together we
may build our nation and the greatness of Kenya. May
the fruit of our labor
fill us daily with gratitude.
