Yobu 7

Omuntu okiri omu nsi tari aha rubu rw'okurwana orugamba?

Ebiro bye ti nk'eby'orikukorera ebihembo? 2

Nk'oku omuhuuku ayetenga ekicuucu,

Kandi nk'oku orikukorera ebihembo abitegyereza, 3

Naanye nikwo naahairwe ameezi ga busha,

Nkateerwaho ebiro birikurusya. 4

Ku mbyama, ngira nti: Nibusheesha ryari, nkaimuka?

Kwonka ekiro kigyenda ira;

Ndaara niinyehindaguturana, burugaho busheesha. 5

Omubiri gwangye gushwekirwe enyogori n'ebikoko,

Oruhu rwagwo nirugangaara, rugaruka rushatuka. 6

Ebiro byangye nibyehuuta okukira eky'okurukisa ky'omuriki w'emyenda;

Bihwaho ntaine matsiko. 7

Ai bambe, ijuka amagara gangye, ku gari nk'omuyaga;

Amaisho gangye tigarigaruka kureeba birungi. 8

Orikundeeba tarigaruka kundeeba bundi;

Amaisho gaawe ku gariba nigakindeeba, ndyabura. 9

Nk'oku ekicu kiyaayuuka, kikabura,

Nikwo orikushuuma okuzimu atarigaruka; 10

Tarigaruka mu ka ye obundi,

Kandi omwanya gwe tigurigaruka kumumanya. 11

Nikyo ntarikubaasiza kwezibira kugamba;

Niinyija kugambisibwa obusaasi bw'omu mutima gwangye,

Nyetomboite ahabw'entimba y'omu magara gangye.

Nyowe ndi enyanja, nari ndi omugoye,

Waaza kuntaho ow'okundinda? 12

Ku ndaagire nti: Ekitanda kyangye nikiija kumpuumuza,

Ekitabo kyangye nikiija kutuubya aha busaasi bwangye,

Obwo nonkangisa n'ebirooto,

Ontiinisa n'ebi oyorekirwe, 13

Ngu nyihemu okuteebwa aha munigo, nkafa,

Okukira okuguma mpweire aha magufa. 14

Amagara gangye ngatamirwe, tinkyenda kugumaho;

Ndeka, ahabw'okuba ebiro byangye n'ebya busha. 15

Omuntu ni kintu ki, Iwe okumutunguura,

N'okumwetaho okamwetaho, 16

Okamutaayayira buri kasheeshe,

Okamugyeza buri kaanya? 17

Oryahitsya hi okutaanyihaho riisho,

N'okutampa kaanya k'okumira amacwante? 18

Ku ndaabe naasiisire, iwe

Omurinzi w'abantu, nkwitsize ki?

Ahabw'enki ompindwire ekimaasho?

Ahanki nkubeereire omutwaro? 19

N'enki ekikuzibiire kusaasira ekicumuro kyangye,

Okaanyihaho ekibi?

Ahabw'okuba hati naaza kubyama omu mucuucu;

Naiwe oryayezirika kunsherura, oshangye ntakiriho.
