Runyankore - Rukiga Bible 1964
Enfumu 17
Ak'okurya k'obunyaata, kwonka karimu obusingye,
Nikakira eka eijwire eby'okurya by'obugyenyi, kwonka erimu entongane.
Omuhuuku orikukoresa obwengye,
Aryategyeka omwana wa mukama we orikuhemura,
Kandi aragwe hamwe n'abaana ba mukama we. 2
Eiziiko riba ery'okushemerezamu efeeza,
N'omuriro guba ogw'okushemerezamu ezaabu,
Kwonka MUKAMA niwe agyeza emitima.
Enkozi y'ebibi ehurira emigambire y'obubi,
Kandi orikubeiha atega okutu orurimi rw'eitima. 3
Oteerera enaku omukyene, aba naajuma Omuhangi we;
Orikwesiimira abandi kugwerwa akagwe, taribura kufubirwa.
Abaijukuru n'ekirunga ky'abagurusi,
Kandi ekitiinisa ky'abaana ni baishebo.
Emigambire ehikire teizihira mushema,
Kandi okukira munonga emigambire y'ebishuba teizihira mutegyeki.
Enguzi aha muntu ogihaire ni nk'eibaare eririkukora eby'okutangaaza;
Ahu arikuza hoona, naagogyera. 4
Oshwekyerera ekishobyo, aba naayenda kukundwa;
Kwonka oyata eibanga, aba naayeyangisa munywani we.
Okuhanwa kuhika omunyabwengye aha mutima,
Okukira okuhanisa omushema enkoni igana. 5
Omuntu mubi akunda obugomi bwonka;
Nikyo aritumirwa entumwa y'enshaarizi kumukwata. 6
Haakiri okubugana edubu eyakirwe ebyana byayo
Okukira okubugana omushema oitsirwe obushema. 7
Orikuzimuura obubi ahabw'oburungi,
Obubi tiburiruga mu ka ye. 8
Okutandika entongane ni nk'okwigurira amaizi;
N'ahabw'ekyo reka empaka zitakarugiremu okutongana. 9
Oiha orubanja aha babi, kandi n'orusingisa abahikiriire,
Bombi n'ekirikunugwa ahari MUKAMA.
Ahabw'enki omushema agira empiiha omu ngaro ngu agure obwengye,
Haza ataine mutima? 10
Munywani w'omuntu amukunda ebiro byona,
Kandi ow'eishe-emwe azaarirwa okuhwera abantu omu bihikiirizi. 11
Omuntu otaine bwengye aha omukwato,
Kandi ayemererera ondi omu maisho ga mutaahi we. 12
Okunda entongane, aba akunzire okushiisha;
Orikukunda kweshumbya abandi eka, naaba ayesheruriire okucwekyerera.
Oine omutima ogurikwehabagiza, taribona kirungi;
Kandi n'ow'orurimi orukiikami aryagwa omu kabi. 13
Ozaara omushema, aba ayereeteire obusaasi;
Ishe w'otaine bwengye tashemererwa. 14
Omutima ogushemereirwe n'omubazi murungi,
Kwonka omutima ogucuramiriirwe gureetera omuntu kuhwa aha magufa. 15
Omubi ayakiira enguzi erikushooboorwa omu kwahwa,
Ngu abone kwita emanja z'oburyo. 16
Orikwetegyereza, amaisho ge agata aha bwengye;
Kwonka amaisho g'omushema, agata aha by'aha muheru gw'ensi. 17
Omwana ekifa-mutima areetera ishe obusaasi,
Na nyina owaamuzaire amureetera obushaarizi.
Okubonabonesa ohikiriire ti kirungi,
N'obu kwakuba okuteera abakungu noobatura oburungi bwabo. 18
Oyetwara omu kugamba aba ow'obwengye,
Kandi ow'omutima gutuurize aba omuntu orikwetegyereza.
Nangwa n'omushema ku ahunama, bateekateeka ngu n'omunyabwengye;
Ku aba abumbire eminwa, bagira ngu, N'omwerinzi.
