Yobu 14

Omuntu ozairwe omukazi amara ebiro bikye,

Aba ow'enaku nsha. 22

Arabya nk'ekirabyo, ayoma;

Ahingura nk'ekicuucu, tagumaho. 33

Mbwenu shi Iwe, omuntu ori otyo okaayerusya kumureeba,

Nari nkaanye, okandeeta kutongana naiwe? 44

N'oha owaakubaasa kwiha ekirungi omu kibi?

Tihariho n'omwe. 55

Nk'oku ebiro bye byamugyereirwe,

Omubaro gw'ameezi ge okagumanya,

Okamuteeraho obugarukiro, obu atarikubaasa kurenga, 66

Omwiheho amaisho, abone kuhuumuraho,

Okuhitsya obu ariheza ebiro bye, nk'orikukorera ebihembo.

7Manya, hariho amatsiko ngu, ekiti ku kitemwa, kitooka,

Kandi ngu emitwe y'amataagi mato gaakyo egumizamu neekura. 87

N'obu emizi yaakyo yaakuguma omu itaka, ekakura,

N'ekitsintsi kyakyo kikajundira aho,

9Kwonka ku kihurira okufukiirira kw'amaizi, kitooka,

Kimera amataagi nk'ekiti kito. 108

Kwonka omuntu we afa bwamperayo;

Buzima omwitsyo gumuhwamu. Mbwenu obwo aba akirahi? 119

Nk'oku amaizi g'omu kiyanja gaijururuka,

N'omugyera gukatuuba, gukooma, 1210

Nikwo n'omuntu abyama ataimukye;

Tariimuka, n'obu kwakuba okusisiimurwa,

Okuhitsya obu eiguru ririba ritakiriho. 1311

Nkaabaasibwa ki, onshereka okuzimu,

Ondindira omu mubonano, okuhitsya ahu ekiniga kyawe kirihwera,

Onteeraho obunaku, onyijuka! 1412

(Omuntu ku afa, agaruka abaho?)

Ebiro byangye byona ebyanteereirweho nkaabigumisiririza,

Ntegyereza obunaku bwangye bw'okurekurwa. 1513

Ku waakuunyeta, nkaakwetaba;

Kandi naiwe okaayetenga kureeba eki emikono yaawe yaakozire; 1614

Ahabw'okuba hati noobara entambwe zangye,

Kandi otaire eriisho aha kibi kyangye. 1715

Okushiisha kwangye kukomirwe omu nshaho,

N'okutahikiirira kwangye kukomeirwe hamwe. 1816

Kwonka orushozi orutuura nirugwa, ruguubwa rwahwaho;

N'orukiri rwihwa omu mwanya gwarwo;

19Amaizi gagyenda nigarya amabaare,

N'emitunga etwara eitaka ry'ensi;

Naiwe nikwo omaraho amatsiko g'omuntu.

20Ebiro byona omusingura, nawe ahwaho;

Aha maisho ge ohahindura okundi; omwohereza. 2117

Abatabani batunga ekitiinisa, atakikimanya;

Bagarurwa ahansi, kwonka tamanya byabo;

22Kureka obusaasi obu ahurira, n'obw'omubiri gwe;

Kandi amaganya agu agira, gaba age wenka.
