Obugomi bwa Yerusaalemu na Yuda

11

Orurembo orurikuhata, orugomi,

Kandi orusiisikaire, ruryakareeba! 22

Tirurikuhurira iraka,

Tirurikwenda kuhanwa,

Tirurikwirira haihi Ruhanga waarwo. 33

Abategyeki baamwo n'entare ezirikutsinda,

Abaramuzi baarwo n'emishega y'omu mwabazyo

Etagira ki etsiga okuhitsya omu kasheeshe; 44

Baanabi baarwo n'abantu batyo

Abatarikwesigwa;

Abanyamurwa baarwo nibashiisha ekyetwa ekirikwera kyona,

Nibashiisha nkana Ebiragiro. 55

MUKAMA ori ahagati yaarwo n'ohikiriire,

Takora kubi;

Buri kasheeshe areeta eby'oburyo bye omu mushana,

Tayosha;

Kwonka otahikiriire tagira kashoni. 66

Mmazireho amahanga,

Eminaara yaago n'ebisheenyuka;

Nyitiire kimwe enguuto zaago,

Ngu hatagira owaazirabamu;

Endembo zaago zihindukire amatongo,

Zaabura omuntu, zaabura n'ow'okuzituuramu. 77

Naagira nti: Buzimazima ruryantiina,

Rwikirize kuhanwa,

Rurekye kwehuzya

Ebi naaruragiire byona.

Kwonka abarutwiremu baayeyongyera kwezirika

Kushiisha omu kukora kwabo kwona. 88

MUKAMA naagira ati: N'ahabw'ekyo muntegyereze,

Okuhitsya aha izooba eri ndiimukiraho ndi mushinja;

Ahabw'okuba mmaririire kuteeranira hamwe

Amahanga n'obugabe butari bumwe,

Mbone kubishukaho ekiniga kyangye

N'okuguubwa kubi kwangye kwona,

Ahakuba ensi yoona eryamarwaho

Omuriro gw'eihato ry'ekiniga kyangye.

Oku Ruhanga ari ahagati y'abantu be kubajuna

99

Eego, omuri obwo bunaku ndyahindura engambo y'amahanga,

Ebe engambo nungi,

Ab'omuri ago mahanga boona

Babone kutakira eiziina rya MUKAMA

N'okumuheereza n'omutima gumwe. 1010

Abariinyeshengyereza nibo bantu bangye abaataataine;

Baryandeetera empongano, nibagiiha seeri y'emigyera ya Esiopia. 1111

Iwe Israeli, eryo izooba torikwatwa nshoni

Ahabw'ebi waakozire nongomera;

Ahabw'okuba obwo ndyakwihamu

Abanyamaryo baawe abarikwehimbisa;

Kandi torigaruka kwekunikira

Ha rushozi rwangye orurikwera. 1212

Ahakuba ndyakutsigamu

Abantu abacureezi kandi abatarikwetunguura;

Baryasherura obuhungiro omu iziina rya MUKAMA. 1313

Kandi abaritsigara omuri Israeli tibarikora kubi,

N'obu kwakuba okugamba ebishuba,

N'orurimi rw'obugobya

Tirurishangwa mu kanwa kaabo;

Ahakuba baryarya, babyame

Hataine orikubatiinisa. 1414

Iwe Saayuuni, yeshongore munonga;

Iwe Israeli, teera akaari!

Naiwe Yerusaalemu, shemererwa,

Oyesiime n'omutima gwawe gwona! 1515

MUKAMA akwihireho emanja ezi obaire oine,

N'abazigu baawe yaabanaga aheeru.

Omugabe wa Israeli, MUKAMA, ari ahagati yaawe;

Torigaruka kutiina kabi bundi. 1616

Eryo izooba baryagira Yerusaalemu bati:

Iwe Saayuuni 'we, otatiina,

Emikono yaawe etatentebuka. 1717

MUKAMA Ruhanga waawe ari ahagati yaawe,

Emanzi erikujuna.

Aryakushemerererwa, aine obunanukye,

Aryakushemerererwa, naayeshongora

Nk'aha izooba ry'obugyenyi. 1818

MUKAMA naagira ati:

Ndyakwihaho akabi,

Karekye kukujumisa. 1919

Reeba, omuri obwo bunaku

Ndyaitana n'abarikukuhata boona.

Ndyakiza abarema,

Ntaaruure encuubwa;

Kandi abaabaire bahemukiire omu nsi yoona

Ndyabaha okugambwa gye n'eiziina rirungi. 2020

Ndyabagarura owaanyu omu bunaku

Obu ndibataaruuriramu;

Ahakuba ku ndigarura abantu baanyu

Abatwairwe omu bukwatwa nimureeba,

Ndyabaha eiziina rirungi n'okuhimbisibwa

Omu mahanga goona ag'omu nsi;

nikwo MUKAMA arikugira.
