Kandi n'emanja tizirikucuubwa mu buryo.

Ahabw'okuba ababi nibeehinduririza abahikiriire,

Nikyo emanja z'oburyo zirikwitirwa.

55

Nimwetegyereze omu mahanga, mureebe;

Mutangaare, mute engaro aha munwa;

Ahabw'okuba ninkora omurimo omu biro byanyu,

Ogu mutarikubaasa kwikiriza, n'obu mwakugambirwa muta. 66

Ahakuba reeba, niinyimutsya Abakaludaaya,

Eryo ihanga ry'enshaarizi kandi eririkubakuka,

Eririkubuga ensi yoona

Kukubuura amaka agatari gaaryo.

7Nibatiinisa, kandi nibaitsa obwoba,

Emicwe yaabo n'ekitiinisa kyabo

Nibo barikubyeha. 87

Embaraasi zaabo ziine amaguru kukira engwe,

Nizishaarira okukira emishega y'omu mwabazyo;

Abarikuzigyenderaho nibazikinisa n'amaryo,

Buzima abantu baabo abazitembire nibaruga hare.

Nibaguruka nk'eishamba eririkusyoka kuteera eky'okurya. 98

Boona nibareetwa okukora eby'obubisha,

Okutiinisa kwabo kubeebembeire,

Nibarunda hamwe enkwatwa nk'omusheenyi. 109

Nibateerera abagabe enaku,

Nibagaaniiza abategyeki.

Buri kigo nibakishekyerera,

Ahabw'okuba nibakirundaho eitaka, bakikwata.

11Batyo barabaho nk'omuyaga, bagumizamu,

N'abantu abaine orubanja, abahindwire amaani gaabo ruhanga waabo. 1210

Ai MUKAMA Ruhanga wangye, Orikwera wangye,

Tori otahwaho ebiro byona?

Ai MUKAMA, obataireho kucwera abantu emanja;

Naiwe Rukiri, obahamize ngu babone kuhana. 1311

Iwe ow'amaisho gashemeire, agatenda kureeba kibi,

Kandi agatarikwemera kureeba bitahikire,

Ahabw'enki nooreeba abantu endeebya,

Omubi naamirakwo orikumukiza okuhikiirira,

Haza okeetsiza?

14Ahakuba noohindura abantu nk'eby'enyanja,

Baba nk'ebirikugyendesa enda, ebitagira mukama. 1512

Boona abatuuhuuzamu eirobo,

Abaihisamu akatimba ke,

Abakwatsa entukuru;

Atyo ashemererwa, ayesiima.

16N'ahabw'ekyo atambira akatimba ke ebitambo,

Ayooterera entukuru ye obubaane,

Ahakuba ebyo nibyo bimureetera kujarama,

Akarya eby'ebishaju.

17Naija kuguma naafukunkura entukuru ye,

Naita amahanga ebiro byona ataine saasi?
