1 “Umutima wanjye urembejwe n’amagara yanjye,
Ntabwo nzibuza gutaka,
Nzavuga mbitewe n’umubabaro wo mu mutima wanjye.
2 Nzabwira Imana nti
‘Winciraho iteka,
Menyesha igituma umburanya.’
3 Mbese unezezwa no kubonerana,
Kugira ngo uhinyure umurimo w’amaboko yawe,
Ugakēra imigambi y’inkozi z’ibibi?
4 Mbese ufite amaso y’umubiri?
Cyangwa se ureba nk’uko umuntu areba?
5 Aho iminsi yawe ingana n’iy’umuntu,
Cyangwa imyaka yawe ihwanye n’iminsi ye,
6 Bituma ubaririza igicumuro cyanjye,
Ukagenzura icyaha cyanjye,
7 Kandi uzi ko ntari umunyabyaha,
Ko ari nta wabasha kundokora ngo amvane mu maboko yawe?
8 “Amaboko yawe ni yo yambumbye,
Akaringaniza imyanya y’umubiri wanjye yose,
None uranyishe.
9 Ibuka ndakwinginze, yuko wambumbye nk’ibumba,
None se ugiye kunsubiza mu mukungugu?
10 Mbese ntiwansutse nk’amata,
Ukamvuza nk’urukoko?
11 Wanyambitse uruhu n’inyama,
Umbumbana n’amagufwa n’imitsi.
12 Wampaye ubugingo ungirira n’imbabazi,
Kungenderera kwawe ni ko kwandemye umutima.
13 Nyamara wahishe ibyo mu mutima wawe,
Kandi nzi ko ubifite.
14 Iyo ncumuye uranyitegereza,
Kandi ntuzambabarira ikibi cyanjye.
15 Niba ndi inkozi y’ibibi ngushije ishyano,
Kandi niba ndi umukiranutsi, nabwo sinakwegura umutwe.
Nuko nuzuwemo n’igisuzuguriro,
Nkareba umubabaro wanjye.
16 Kandi neguye umutwe wampīga nk’intare,
Maze ukongera kunyiyereka,
ukambera amayoberane.
17 Ukazana abandi bahamya bo kumpamya,
Ukangwizaho uburakari bwawe,
Ibyanjye ni uguhora bihinduka hakaza intambara.
18 “None se ni iki cyatumye umvana mu nda ya mama?
Mba narahejeje umwuka ntihagire umbona,
19 Nkaba narabaye nk’utigeze kubaho,
Ngahambwa nkiva mu nda ya mama.
20 Mbese iminsi yanjye si mike?
Nuko rekera aho unyorohere,
kugira ngo mpumeke ho hato,
21 Ntarajya aho ntazagaruka ukundi,
Mu gihugu cy’umwijima n’icy’igicucu cy’urupfu,
22 Igihugu kirimo umwijima w’icuraburindi,
Icy’igicucu cy’urupfu gicuze icyuna,
Aho umucyo umeze nk’igicuku.”
