Магутны Божа! Ўладар сусьветаў, Вялікіх сонцаў і сэрц малых! Над Беларусяй, ціхай і ветлай, Рассып праменьні свае хвалы. Дай спор у працы штодзеннай, шэрай, На лусту хлеба, на родны край, Павагу, сілу іш велійй, іш велійуц веры У вастыч веры У - веліуруц У веліуруц Дай урадлівасьць жытнёвым нівам, Учынкам нашым пашлі ўмалот! Зрабі магутнай, зрабі шчасьлівай Краіну нашу і наш народ!	Mahutny Boža! Ŭładar suśvietaŭ, Vialikich soncaŭ i serc małych! Nad Biełarusiaj cichaj i vietłaj Rassyp pramieńni svaje chvały. Daj spor u pracy štodzionnaj šeraj, Na łustu chleba, na rodny kraj, Pavahu, siłu i vielič viery U našu praŭdu, u pryšłaść - daj! Daj uradlivaść žytniovym nivam, Učynkam našym pajšli ŭmałot! Zrabi mahutnaj, zrabi ščaślivaj Krainu našu i naš narod!	O mighty God! Rulers of the worlds, of the great suns, and of the small hearts! Above quiet and friendly Belarus May the news of your glory shine. Grant us success in our everyday troubles, For the slice of bread and for our homeland Give us respect; Give us strength and great faith in our rights, in our future! Give fertility to the rye fields, let us reap the reward of our deeds! Make you mighty, make you happy, our country and our people!
