2Uku ni ko Uhoraho avuze:

“Ehe ingene amazi asuriranije mu buraruko;

azohinduka umugezi utemba amazi menshi.

Azosendanisha mu gihugu no ku bintu vyose biri muri co,

ibisagara n’ababibamwo.

Abantu bazoboroga;

ababa mu gihugu bose bazovuza induru

3bumvise imirindi y’amafarasi akomeye,

bakumva uguhinda kw’imikogote y’umwansi

hamwe n’uruyogoyogo rw’amaguru yayo.

Abavyeyi ntibazohindukira gutabara abana babo;

amaboko yabo azocika nk’imigozi.

4Kuko umusi uje

wo gutikiza Abafilisitiya

no gukuraho abacitse kw’icumu bose

boshoboye gutabara Tiro na Sidoni.

Uhoraho yiteguye gusangangura Abafilisitiya,

amasigarira yo ku kizinga c’i Kafutori.

5Gaza hazokwimwesha inkomvorera ku bwo kugandara;

Ashikeloni hazozibwa akanwa.

Yemwe masigarira yo mu kiyaya,

muzogeza ryari kwikebagura?

6‘Yo, wa nkota y’Uhoraho we,

mbega uzoruhuka ryari?

Subira mu rwubati rwawe;

sigaho guma hamwe.’

7Ariko yotekereza gute?

Kandi Uhoraho ari we yayitegetse,

yarayihaye itegeko

ryo gutera Ashikeloni n’inkengera y’ikiyaga?”
