Ekyeshongoro kya Sulemaani 8

1Nkaabaasibwa ki, oba nka munyaanyazi,

Owaayonkire aha mabeere ga maawe!

Ku nkukubugaine aheeru, nkaakunywegyeire,

Kandi tihaine owaakungayire. 21

Nkaakutwaire, nkuhitsya omu nju ya maawe,

Omu kishengye ky'ogwo owanzaire,

Nkunywaisa aha nturire ya viinyo

N'aha shande y'amakomamahanga gangye. 32

Nkaabaasibwa ki, omukono gwe gwa bumosho gunshegura,

N'ogwa buryo gunfumbata!

4Imwe baishiki ba Yerusaalemu 'mwe, nimbarahiza,

Mutasisiimura nkunzi yangye, n'obu kwakuba okumwimutsya,

Atakeeyendeire.

Abaishiki ba Yerusaalemu

5Oriya orikwinamuka naaruga omu ihamba,

Ayegamiire nkunzi ye, n'oha?

Nkusisiimwire ahansi y'omucungwa,

Ahu nyoko yaarumiirwe naayenda kukuzaara;

Eego owaakuzaire niho yaarumiirwe.

Onte aha mutima gwawe nk'akamanyiso,

Kandi onte n'aha mukono gwawe;

Ahabw'okuba rukundo n'ey'amaani nka rufu,

Kandi okufuuha tikusaasira, ni nk'ekituuro;

Endimi zaakwo nizityankana nk'ez'omuriro,

Nk'ez'omuriro ogurikurya busha.

7Amaizi maingi tigarikubaasa kuraaza rukundo,

N'emyegyemure tekaagimira;

Omuntu n'obu yaakuhayo ebi atungire omu ka ye byona,

Bikaagayirwa kimwe.

8Twine murumuna waitu omuto,

Takashunire mabeere.

Mbwenu turyamugira tuta

Aha izooba eri arigambirwaho obugyenyi?

9Ku ariba orugo rw'amabaare,

Turyamwombekaho omunaara gw'efeeza;

Kwonka ku ariba omuryango,

Turyamukingisa embaaho z'emyereezi.

10Nyowe nkaba ndi orugo rw'amabaare;

N'amabeere gangye gari nk'eminaara

Okuruga obwo naagira obusingye omu maisho ge. 114

Sulemaani akaba aine omusiri gw'emizaabibu Baali-hamoni,

Yaagutamu abarinzi,

Buri muntu okuguma naaha ebicweka by'efeeza ahabw'ebijuma byamwo.

12Omusiri gwangye gw'emizaabiru n'ogwangye ahabwangye.

Iwe Sulemaani, oryaheebwa rukumi rwawe,

N'abarinzi b'ebijuma baheebwe magana abiri. 135

Iwe otuura omu misiri,

Bagyenzi bangye nibenda kuhurira ebi orikugamba;

Naanye ka mbihurire. 146

Nkunzi yangye, rahuka, obe nk'esirabo,

Nari nk'eshonga y'empara

Aha nshozi z'eby'emigaju.
