Elifaazi okugarukamu Yobu obwa kabiri

1Bwanyima Elifaazi Omutemaani yaagarukamu ati: 21

Noogira ngu omuntu w'obwengye ashemereire kugarukamu n'ebigambo ebitaine muhoho,

N'okwijuza enda ye omuyaga gw'oburugwa-izooba?

3Ashemereire kuteera empaka n'ebigambo ebitaine buryo,

Nari okugamba ebitaine ki birikugasira abandi?

4Kwonka nooyenda kwihaho okutiina Ruhanga,

N'okuzibira abantu kugira eki baateekateekaho bari omu maisho ge;

5Ahabw'okuba okutahikiirira kwawe nikwo kwegyesa akanwa kaawe eby'okugamba,

Naiwe okunda kugambisa orurimi rw'obugobya. 62

Akanwa kaawe niko karikukucwera orubanja, tiinye;

N'eminwa yaawe yonka niyo erikukushinja. 73

Niiwe waabandiize abandi kuzaarwa?

Nari okazaarwa, enshozi zitakabaireho? 84

Orashutamire omu naama za Ruhanga ez'omu mubonano?

Nooyenda kuba niiwe waagira obwengye wenka? 95

Eki orikumanya, itwe eki tutarikumanya, niki?

Nooyetegyereza ki, itwe eki tutarikushoborokyerwa? 106

Omuriitwe harimu abamezire enju,

N'abakuzire munonga abarikukira sho.

11Okuhuumuriza kwa Ruhanga ahabwawe ni kukye,

N'ebigambo ebi ogambiirwe gye, noobigaya?

12Ahabw'enki omutima gwawe nigukubambaaza,

Amaisho gakakutukura, 137

Kikareetera omutima gwawe kurwanisa Ruhanga,

Okagamba ebigambo nk'ebyo? 148

Omuntu ni kintu ki, kuba oshemeire,

N'owaazairwe omukazi, kuba ohikiriire? 159

Reeba, Ruhanga tayesiga barikwera be,

Nangwa n'eiguru tirishemeire mu maisho ge, 1610

Kaashwa omuntu ekihagaro owaasiisikaire,

Ogotomera okutahikiirira nk'amaizi.

17Naaza kukushobororera, haza ompurire!

Kandi ebi naareebire, nibyo ndikwija kukumanyisa, 1811

(Ebyagambirwe abanyabwengye,

Ebi baishebo batarasherekire, 1912

Abaaheirwe ensi bonka,

Batagiibwemu munyamahanga weena) 2013

Omusiisi atuura n'obusaasi ebiro byona,

Niyo myaka eyateereirweho abarikuhata. 2114

Ebirikutiinisa biteerera enduuru omu matu ge;

N'obu ariba ari omu kugogyera,

Omuhwerekyerezi aryamugwaho.

22Taikiriza ngu aryagaruka arugye omu mwirima,

Kandi ateekateekyeirwe rurara. 2315

Azengyerera hoona naaza kushaka, naagira ati: Eby'okushaka birahi?

Naamanya ku ekiro ky'omwirima kiri haihi kumuhikaho.

24Enaku n'obusaasi bimutiinisa,

Bimusingura nk'omugabe oyeteekateekyeire orugamba;

25Ahabw'okuba akabanga omukono kurwanisa Ruhanga,

Yaahiga Ow'obushoboorozi bwona, 2616

Yaamwegyemera agangaize ebitsya,

Akingire engabo eine eiromba rihango. 2717

Ahabw'okuba omugomoka gukamushweka aha maisho,

N'ebigojo byahingamirana aha nyugunyu ze,

28Kandi yaatuura omu ndembo ezihindukire amatongo,

N'omu maju agatashemereire kutaahwamu muntu,

Agabaire gari haihi kuhinduka emungo z'amatongo.

29N'ahabw'ekyo taritunga, n'eitungo rye tiririgumaho,

Kandi taritsimba mizi omu itaka. 3018

Tarikira mwirima,

Endimi z'omuriro ziryayomya amataagi ge,

Atwarwe omwitsyo gwa Ruhanga. 3119

Arekye kwesiga ebitaine mugasho, naayebeiha;

ahakuba ebitaine mugasho nibyo arizimuurirwa. 3220

Aryahembwa byona, obunaku bwe butakahikire,

Amataagi agarikumutookaho gatakabaire kijubwe.

33Aryaba nk'omuzaabibu, ogu ebijuma byagwo biragarika bitakahiisize,

Abe nk'omuzeituuni ogurikuragaza orurabyo. 3421

Ahabw'okuba omutwe gw'abatarikutiina Ruhanga guryaba engumba,

Kandi omuriro guryamaraho amahema g'abarikurya enguzi. 3522

Babaka enda z'eitima, bazaara obubi,

N'emitima yaabo eteekateeka obugobya.
