Abantu okwehanangirizibwa kweteisa

11

Imwe ihanga ritaine kashoni 'mwe,

Nimwije, muteeranire hamwe, 22

Mutakabingirwe

Nk'ebishushunga ebirikutuntumuka,

Mutakahikirweho kiniga kya MUKAMA ekingi,

Mutakahikirweho izooba ry'ekiniga kya MUKAMA. 33

Imwe abacureezi b'omu nsi mwena,

Abakora ebi MUKAMA aragiira,

Nimumusherure;

Kandi musherure okuhikiirira n'obucureezi;

Obundi mukaasherekwa aha izooba ry'ekiniga kya MUKAMA. 44

Ahabw'okuba Gaaza eryatsigwaho,

Ashikelooni ehindukye amatongo,

Ab'omuri Ashidoodi babingwe omu ihangwe,

Na Ekurooni erandurwe. 55

Imwe ihanga ry'Abakeresi 'mwe,

Abatwire aha rubaju rw'enyanja, muryakareeba!

Imwe Abanyakanaani, ensi y'Abafilistia,

Ekigambo kya MUKAMA kiryabarwanisa.

Ndyabacwekyereza okuhitsya obu hatarigira

Mutuuzi weena owaatsigaraho.

6Kandi ezo mbaju z'enyanja ziryaba amariisizo,

Amaka g'abariisa n'ag'amasyo g'entaama, 76

Zibe ez'ab'enju ya Yuda,

Abariba batsigaireho, baziriisizemu,

Kandi omu maju g'omuri Ashikelooni

Nimwo baribyama omu mwabazyo;

Ahakuba MUKAMA Ruhanga waabo aryabataho omutima,

Abaihe omu bukwatwa, abagarure. 87

MUKAMA ow'amahe, Ruhanga wa Israeli naagira ati:

Nkahurira ebigaaniizo bya Moabu

N'ebijumo by'Abaamoni,

Oku baagaaniirize abantu bangye,

Bakeehimbisa ku barikwija kuteera ensi yaabo. 98

N'ahabw'ekyo niinyerahira nti:

Buzimazima Moabu eryaba nka Sodoma

N'Abaamoni babe nka Gomora,

Ensi emazirweho ebicuragyenyi n'ebiina by'omwonyo,

Ebeere kimwe amatongo ebiro byona.

Abantu bangye abaritsigaraho baryabanyaga,

N'ab'eihanga ryangye abarihonokaho baryabakubuura. 109

Ebyo nibyo barizimuurirwa ahabw'amaryo gaabo,

ahabw'okuba bakateerera enaku abantu ba MUKAMA ow'amahe,

Baabeesiimirana. 1110

MUKAMA aryabarwanisa omu muringo gurikutiinisa;

Eego, baaruhanga b'ensi boona aryabahorootsa,

Kandi abantu baryamuramya,

Buri muntu amuramize ei ari,

Nangwa n'ab'omu nsi zoona ez'amahanga.

12Naimwe Abanyesiopia,

Muryaitwa rurara yangye; 1311

Kandi aryabanga omukono gwe kurwanisa obukiizi-bwa-bumosho,

Acwekyereze Asiria,

Ahindure Nineeve amatongo,

Ebe ensi ekarangataine nk'eihamba ry'omusheenyi. 1412

Kandi amasyo g'ente garyagibyamamu,

N'enyamaishwa zoona ez'omu ishwa,

Ebihuhura-bahuta n'ebinyogote

Biryatuura omu bisheenyuka by'enyomyo zaayo,

Ebihihizi bihihirire omu madirisha gaayo,

N'ebikoona bigambire omu bisasi by'amaju gaayo;

Ahakuba embaaho zaayo z'emyereezi ziryashuuruurwa. 1513

Oru nirwo rurembo ruri orwabaire rutwire buhooro,

Nirwehimbisa, nirwegira ruti:

Niinye ndiho, tihariho ondiijo.

Mbwenu ka ruhindukire amatongo,

Rukaba oburaaro bw'enyamaishwa!

Orikururabaho weena

Naayeshaanya, aruha mutinzi.
