Lulanga lwa 5

Omusengero gw’esêzi

1Gwârhi omukulu w’abimbiza. Oku rhurhêra. Lulanga lwa Daudi.

2Oyumvîrhize izù lyâni, Yâgirwa Nyakasane,

omusengero gwâni oguyumve.

3We ndwîrhe nâganîza, Mwâmi wâni na Nyamuzinda wâni,

we nsengîre Yâgirwa Nyakasane.

4Erhi gubà mucêracêra,

erhi mîra izù lyâni lyahikaga emund’oli;

sêzi-sêzi erhi nkola ndwîrhe nakusêngera nandwîrhe nalangûza.

5Bulya orhali Nyamuzinda wa kusîma mabî,

Yâgirwa; enkola-maligo orhankaziga yakujaho

6Nanga, emihera erhankakuyimangaho

abajira ebigalugalu, orhababâkwo

7Abaderha obunywesi, kuheza obaheza;

omuntu osîma omukò n’olyaliha,

Nyamuzinda arhamubonakwo

8Ci niehe, bwonjo bw’obuzigire bwâwe bunene burhumire,

najà omu mwâwe; nacîkweba oku idaho,

nkuharâmye omu bwâmi bwâwe butagatîfu.

9Nyakasane, onange omu bushinganyanya bwâwe,

bulyâla abanzi bampisire eka;

enjira yampisa emwâwe, oyiyumanyanye.

10Bulyâla omu kanwa kâbo murhabà oburhali bunywesi,

omurhima gwâbo guyunjwîre bubî;

omurhima gwâbo eri nshinda nyigule,

n’olulimi lwâbo kali kêre ka môji abirhi.

11Obamalîre, Yâgirwa Nyamuzinda

ojire batulikanyè n’emihigo yâbo mibî;

obakage, batumbaguze,

abo banyankola-maligo, bulya bàkugomîre!

12Ci abacikwîkubagira, barhulûle banasîme;

bacîkwitakire emyâka n’emyâka bulya bayimangîrwe nâwe;

bacîshinge muli we abasîma izîno lyâwe!

13Bulya we Nyamuzinda, we hà omushinganyanya obwangâ;

we mucinga n’obuzigire bwâwe,

nka kula empenzi ecinga entwâli.
