Niinyija kureeta obwengye bwangye, mbwihe hare,

Ngambe nimpamya ku Omuhangi wangye ahikiriire; 42

Ahabw'okuba buzima ebigambo byangye ti bishuba;

N'ow'obushoboorozi, kandi amaani ge gari omu kwetegyereza. 64

Kwonka abarikubonabona abaha ebibashemereire. 75

Kureka abashutamya n'abagabe aha bitebe obutarugaho, batunguuka. 86

Kuhamya ku baabikoreise amaryo. 108

Aigura amatu gaabo, kuhurira ebirikwegyesibwa,

Abaragiira kuruga omu kutahikiirira. 119

Bamara ebiro byabo omu kugogyera,

N'emyaka yaabo bagimara bagwirwe gye.

12Kwonka ku banga kuhurira, bamarwaho na rurara,

Bafa bataine kibamanyire. 1310

Abatatiina Ruhanga mu mitima yaabo beebiikira ekiniga,

Ku ababoha, tibataka ngu bahwerwe. 1411

Bafa bahenderwa omunyeeto,

N'omuheru gw'amagara gaabo guba okuhemuka. 1512

Ruhanga ajuna abarikubonabonesibwa naaraba omu kubonabona kwabo,

Aigura amatu gaabo ahabw'okureeba enaku. 1613

N'ekya buzima, akaabaire akwihire omu naku,

17Kwonka omutima gwawe tigubamu kindi kureka okucwera ababi emanja;

Mbwenu orubanja rw'oburyo orukushemereire rwakukwata. 1814

Oyerinde ekiniga kitakaakureetera okwemanya; 15

Okubonabona kwawe kwingi kukakuteishura omuhanda. 1916

Noogira ngu obutungi bwawe n'obushoboorozi bw'amaani gaawe bwona

Nibiija kukumara, bikuzibire kureeba enaku? 2017

Oteetenga ekyo kiro kuhika,

Eki amahanga gaihirwaho, gakacwekyerezibwa.

21Oyerinde, orekye kuta amaisho aha kutahikiirira;

Ahakuba otooraine kutwaza otyo, okukira okubonabona. 2218

Nari shi n'oha owaakumugira ati: Waashobya. 2420

Ijuka kusingiza omurimo gwe,

Ogu abantu baabaire beeshongoraho.

25Abantu boona bakaba bagureeba,

Omuntu agwetegyerereza hare. 2621

Reeba, Ruhanga ni mukuru, kwonka itwe titumumanya;

Emyaka ye terikubaasa kubarwa; 2722

Ahakuba ainamura amatondo g'amaizi, gaba ekicu,

Akihindura enjura,

28Ehiika ahaiguru, ekasheesheka ahansi,

Ekateera abantu, ekagwa nyingi munonga. 2923

Hariho owaakubaasa kumanya oku ebicu bibuga hoona,

N'oku okuhinda kuhindira omu ihema rya Ruhanga? 3024

Reeba, ashashaanura omushana, gumwehinguririza,

Ahabw'okuba ebyo nibyo acwisa emanja z'amahanga,

Kandi nibyo ahaisa abantu eby'okurya bingi munonga. 3226

Agiragiira; ahi yaagiragiira, ehateera.

33Okuhinda kwayo kumanyisa ebye,

Kandi kumanyisa enyamaishwa ku eihunga ryaza kwija.
