Yobu okwetonganira ku ataine kibi

11

Nkaragaana endagaano n'amaisho gangye;

Mbwenu nimbaasa nta kureeba omwishiki, nkamwetenga? 22

Nkaatunga mugabo ki ahari Ruhanga?

Kandi obuhunguzi bwangye oburikuruga aha W'obushoboorozi bwona ahaiguru bukaba ki?

3Ebihikiirizi tibigwera abatahikiriire,

N'akagwe kakagwera enkozi z'ebibi? 43

Ruhanga tarikureeba emihanda yangye,

Akabara entambwe zangye zoona?

5Ku ndaabe ndagyenzire nimbeiha,

Ebigyere byangye bikeehuuta kuza kugobya, 64

(Ka mpimwe omu minzaani ey'amazima,

Ruhanga amanye obwesigwa bwangye!) 75

Ekigyere kyangye ku kiraabe kirateishukire omuhanda,

N'omutima gwangye gukakurata ebi amaisho gangye geetenga,

Nari engaro zangye ku ziraabe ziragiirweho akabara koona, 86

Ninkabibe, ondiijo akarya,

N'ebi naahingire omu musiri gwangye bikakuurwamu. 97

Omutima gwangye ku guraabe guratwairwe omukazi,

Nkagwera aha rwigi rwa mutaahi wangye, 108

Omukazi wangye naakaseere ondiijo,

N'abandi bakamujuumarira; 119

Ahabw'okuba ekyo kikaabaire ekicumuro kihango munonga;

Eego, kikaabaire ekibi ky'okufubirwa abaramuzi. 1210

Ahakuba ekyo kibi n'omuriro ogurikwokyeza kimwe, gukamaraho,

Kandi ekirikubaasa kurandura ebi mpingire byona.

13Ku ndaabe ndagayire orubanja rw'omuhuuku wangye, nari orw'omuzaana wangye,

Obu bantonganisa, 1411

Ndyagira nta, Ruhanga ku ariimuka?

Nari shi, ku yaakubimbuuza, nkaamugarukamu ki? 1512

Owampangire omunda ya maawe, tiwe yaahangire n'ogwo?

Owaatuhangire omunda t'omwe? 1613

Hariho obu ndaimire omworo eki arikwetenga,

Nari shi, okumara amatsiko amaisho g'omufaakazi?

17Nari hariho obu ndariire ak'okurya kangye nyenka,

Efuuzi etakaboneho?

18Kureka okuruga omu butsigazi bwangye nkarera ogwo mworo nka ishe,

N'omufaakazi nkamureeberera, okwiha obu naaruga omunda ya maawe. 1914

Ku ndaabe ndareebire omuntu naafa ahabw'okubura ekijwaro,

Nari enshoberwa ebuzire eky'okweshweka, 2015

Nari obwezirikiro bwe butaransiimire,

Kandi atamarwe mbeho oruhu rw'entaama zangye; 2116

Ku ndaabe ndabangiire efuuzi omukono,

Ahabw'okureeba aha irembo orikugwera orubaju rwangye,

22Eibega ryangye nirikataane n'orwano,

N'omukono gwangye gukanyukuka omu ngingo!

23Ahabw'okuba ebihikiirizi ebirikuruga ahari Ruhanga bikaba biinyitsa obwoba,

Kandi ndemwa kugumisiririza ekitiinisa kye ekingi. 2417

Ku ndaabe ndahindwire ezaabu amatsiko gangye,

Nkagira ezaabu eshemeziibwe nti, Niiwe bwesigye bwangye, 2518

Ku ndaabe ndeesiimire ahabw'okugira eitungo ringi,

Nari ahabw'omukono gwangye kutunga bingi; 2619

Ku ndaabe ndahangire eizooba amaisho niryaka,

Nari okwezi nikugyenda nikumurinkana,

27Kandi omutima gwangye gukabeihwabeihwa bwesherekye,

Akanwa kangye kakanywegyera engaro zangye, 2820

Ekyo nakyo kikaabaire ekibi eky'okufubirwa mpemukire ahari Ruhanga ow'ahaiguru munonga. 2921

Hariho obu ndashemerereirwe okucwekyerera kw'orikuunyanga,

Nari shi nkeesiima habw'akagwe akaamugwaho? 3022

(Ngaaha! Tindarekire kanwa kangye kucumura,

Ngu mmushabire okufa nimmukyeena.) 3123

Hariho obu ab'omu ka yangye batagira bati:

N'oha omuriimwe otaarya nyama, akahaaga? 3224

(Tihariho mushuhuuki ou ndaraarize omu muhanda;

Kureka nkaba nyigurira omuhinguzi weena.) 3325

Ku ndaabe ndasherekire abantu okushiisha kwangye,

Nkashereka omu kifuba okutahikiirira kwangye, 3426

Ahabw'okutiina munonga omutwe muhango gw'abantu,

N'okutiina okugaywa ab'emiryango yaitu,

Kikandeetera kuhunama n'okutashohora; 3527

Nkaabasibwa ki, hagira owampurira!

(Reeba, akamanyiso kangye nkaka! Ow'obushoboorozi bwona angarukyemu,

Naanye ndeebe ebirego ebihandiikirwe omubisha wangye.)

36Buzimazima nkaabiheeka aha mabega,

Mbijwara nk'ekirunga,

37Nkaamumanyisa ebi naakozire byona omu mitwarize yangye,

Mmuhika haihi nk'omunyiginya.

38Ekyaro kyangye ku kiraabe kirantabaarize,

Entabire zaakyo zikaririra hamwe, 3928

Ku ndaabe ndariire omweru gwakyo ntaine u mpaire ebihembo,

Nari shi nkareetera bakama baakyo kufa, 4029

Amatojo nigakamere omu mwanya gw'engano,

N'orumbugu rukamera omuri sayiri.

Ebigambo bya Yobu byagarukira aha.
